Easy:

 

1. My Little Dashie

2. The Party Hasn't Ended

3. The End of Ponies

 

If you haven't read these, I recommend them!

My Little Dashie. Even thinking about it makes me want to cry. It has to be the saddest story I've ever read.

[Happysalesman 23]

I haven't read a fic that made me cry... (I'm a manly man! Marines don't cry! ). Though I can say I've read a large number of fics that have put a pretty big lump in my throat. I can't remember all of them, but here are some..

 

Lone Black Train

My little Dashie

There are a bunch more, but I can't remember any of the bloody names ><

[Lunalicious 223]

No More Goodbyes, One by one.

Friendship is Tragic.

And of course My Little Dashie. (:

I pretty much bawled my eyes out on all of them.

[RoccoThePegasus 5]

I haven't read any fics, a little of My Little Dashie, it was sad, but not enough to make me cry, and Cupcakes, made me Uneasy

[Thunder Crash 0]

I hope I never read cupcakes. I just seems way too scary. And I'd probably never look at Pinkie the same way again.

[I Have Left MLP Forums 100]

My little Dashie.

I cried over that, and broke down at the end.

 

Damn, My Little Dashie is in my top 3

(Number 2, Right behind Cupcakes)

 

I hope I never read cupcakes. I just seems way too scary. And I'd probably never look at Pinkie the same way again.

 

You haven't read Cupcakes? What?!

Here ya go:

It's a good read, have fun. *chuckles evily*

[Thunder Crash 0]

Evil chuckles aren't all that convincing for some reason. No idea why. So I'm probably not going to read it.

[~Muffin of Chaos~ 184]

Definitely going with 'Our Last Goodbyes" When everypony was saying goodbye, I broke down. I cried even more at the plot twist at the very end.

[Jalaton 155]

I haven't read very much sad fanfiction but none of the ones that I have read have made me cry although they were sad.

[virus gamer 0]

id ay my little dashie. every time i think of it i cry and im tearing up right now........god i love the heck outta it though

[Demiurge 108]

I've only read "My little Dashie" and "Cupcakes" (but that doesn't fit in here) and although it didn't make me cry (No fanfic has ever made me "cry") it did make my eyes all watery.

Judging by what everyone here has said, I think I need to give "Our last goodbyes" a go.

[PlunderSteed 1,252]

For some reason I find most traditional "sad" stories to be just corny or contrived. For something to be sad to me, it has to convey ideas beyond simple tragic events. It has to examine the "what" and the "why", and how characters approach this.

 

As others already mentioned, Final Dream of a Filly was more than just sad. It was bad enough that a beloved character died in such a realistic/plausible/senseless way. And when her friend tried to wake/comfort her by singing "Hush Now, Quiet Now" I just lost it. But what made it especially haunting (to me) was...

 

...the eerie break in reality at the end. It was as though she made the conscious decision to live in a dream, surrounded by what could have been, and severing herself from the real futures of her real friends. Sad, scary and just unsettling. It left me with a hollow feeling that persisted long after the initial sadness passed.

 

 

A less-known favorite of mine is Waiting. Immortality is a horrid thing, and this story takes it to its logical extreme. Manly tears were shed when...

 

after all that time, Luna admitted that she was scared. The flash of emotion was all the more pronounced by her sister's inability to reciprocate. This story is equal parts Go Mad from the Isolation and With Great Power Comes Great Insanity.

 

[Book 45]

"Octavia takes the bus" is the only fan fiction so far that has gotten me to shed a couple tears. However the only pony related thing that has ever gotten me worked up would be Phoe playing PF6. I just can't handle a grown women cry without crying myself.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Only two. My Little Dashie and Fallout Equestria. FOE does a MUCH better job at creating emotional attachment than the games ever did.

 

I've also cried from several fan pics and comics, even thinking about the. Makes my heart heavy. The thread on this forum about them is great, though.

3: My Little Alicorn

 

I only read up to chapter 4 of this and game up. Is it worth reading? It was still kinda slow by chapter 4 and I never picked it up again. Edited August 11, 2012 by Twilie'Zorah

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

If you want another sad one that isn't my little dashie i highly recommend

"she visits them every year"

That one is a good tear jerker...

it's on skootalo.

 

Or "Lone black train"

that is on applejack and it's pretty sad, but a happy sad.

Okay, just read "Final dream of a filly" at 1:30 in the morning. Big mistake.

(I don't know if this next part counts as a spoiler, but better safe than sorry)

 

Now I can't fall asleep without thinking about the story and without all those "what if"s popping into my head. Now I have to decide what my heaven would be if I actually did die in my sleep. Stupid me.

 

 

Stuff

Could you explain something to me about the story that I didn't really get?

 

In the end, did Scootaloo get saved or is that the heaven she had decided on? I'm thinking the latter but I'm not sure...

 

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

None. I've read a few sad fics in my time, but I've yet to find a passage of text that will make me shed tears of sorrow (not joy - awesome stories and idiots made me shed tears of joy or even because of humor).

[Tiger 12]

Have only read rainbow factory, my little dashie and both parts of and then they did it.

 

I cried _a lot_ when i read my little dashie

[Mcayon 24]

I listened to "My Little Dashie" today and it made me cry a number of times... it was the first fan fic I have ever listened to... I think I need to read and listen to more of them...
