Go read stuff below while we compile those up for you to read in some other future post. This only contains stuff that is new compared to our previous compilations. If your favorite fanfic isn't here, it's probably in one of those.
And thanks to Whisper Key for sending them!

Comfort Food by Petrichord
https://www.fimfiction.net/
When Rainbow Dash tries to do thoughtful things for other ponies, it generally turns out pear-shaped. Which, of course, is what happens when a pony as unthoughtful as her tries to do such things.
But, hey, what's a bit of a mess when it comes to making food for one's friend? It shouldn't be that much of a bother, right?
Right?

Misinterpreted by Twifight Sparkill
https://www.fimfiction.net/

Up Where the Air is Clear by Rambling Writer

Daring Do and the Wings of Light by TodayIWriteFanfics
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Daring Do goes to retrieve an ancient artifact. It is a journey of danger and darkness, that many embark on but few return from. And Daring braves it fiercely.
Naturally, she does so in the most awesome way possible. Just not as awesome as Rainbow Dash. But nearly.
Trigger alert: Contains DaringDash or whatever the hell it's called. I'm driving this ship harder than the Titanic. The fact that it sank should be absolutely irrelevant.

Rainbow Dash's Super-Awesome Self-Insert Figures Out If It Would Matter by ponichaeism
For the past few months, the newspapers and literary magazines of Equestria have been dominated by a hot new fiction fad: tales of friendship temporarily -- or permanently -- torn asunder by a thorny hypothetical question about Changelings.

Sad/Dark
The Lighthouse by StormDancer
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Rainbow Dash is awesome. Of that there is no doubt, but even awesome ponies need a break every once in a while. As a weather pegasus and the Element of Loyalty, she doesn't really get all too many days off to just kick back. So, when she finally gets time off to go to the beach with her friends, she takes it.
Too bad the local lighthouse pegasus called in sick, forcing the local weather crew to 'recruit' Rainbow for the task of manning the lighthouse. Boring work.
VERY Boring work.
Until a ship appears on the horizon that looks like it's going to wreck on the rocks.

Shipping
Getting it Right by kits
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Rarity can be very patient. Part of getting what you want the way you want is biding your time and bringing other ponies around to see what should be obvious. Rainbow Dash was never very good at seeing what should be obvious. But even Equestria's densest mare got the hint eventually.
Rarity is very patient. She keeps her calm as a lady should. Even if their date was to start two hours ago. Why she ever said yes to that scruffy boor of a pegasus is anypony's guess.

Broken Record by Somber
https://www.fimfiction.net/
There has never been an athlete like Rainbow Dash. The sprints. The marathons. The land speed record. She held them all.

Iron Wing and the Demolition Crew by QueenMoriarty
https://www.fimfiction.net/
The Crystal War. A battle so long and brutal that it has shaped an entire era of righteous bloodshed. Ponies don't have slumber parties, or read bedtime stories to their foals, or even so much as smile. And when they do smile, it's the kind of smile that would keep ponies of a more peaceful era awake for days.
The madness of Sombra and his slave army claims lives every day. Soldiers in service to Celestia fight tirelessly to hold onto even a shred of what Equestria used to be. Its citizens do everything they can to feed the bloody machine, from canning food to holding funerals.
And at the heart of it all, there stand three mighty warriors. They have lost a great deal to this war, though none of them know just how much. What they do know is that they made promises back home, and they are not in the habit of breaking promises. No matter the cost.
This is the story of Iron Wing and the Demolition Crew.
