    Equestria Girls 

• Characters from the Equestria Girls universe going to Equestria.
• Sunset Shimmer received attention similar to the rest of the villains, where she's given a Freudian Excuse for her actions, though usually Sunset is shown to redeem herself by the end of these. After Sunset really did redeem herself in Rainbow Rocks, half of these plots shifted to focus less on her redemption and more on her being The Woobie for being Reformed, But Rejected.
  • Going off of the Freudian excuse angle, most fanfic writers operate under the assumption that Sunset was orphaned as a filly and raised by Celestia, with whom she developed a close daughter/mother relationship (hence why she desired so much to become an alicorn herself). Of course, there are also fanfics where she just plain is Celestia's biological daughter.
  • There's a bevy of fics where both Sunset and Celestia display a lot of remorse for how things ended between them, with Sunset being terrified of talking to her old mentor out of guilt and Celestia just wanting to see her student again and let her know she's loved. Such a thing would become Ascended Fanon in Forgotten Friendship, where Sunset returns to Equestria and apologizes for being a Spoiled Brat to Celestia (even though that wasn't the primary purpose of Sunset's visit).
• There are a ton of Accusation Fics and Betrayal Fics based on the Anon-A-Miss incident from the Equestria Girls Holiday Special. The darker ones tend to go the extra mile in The Woobie department, with it being popular to either have Sunset get beaten down physically or make her suicidal, in order to pile on the guilt for both the CMC (for starting everything) and the Humane Five (for abandoning her). Even a good chunk of the lighter ones shift into Betrayal Fic territory and have Sunset break ties with the others, before finding new friends at CHS (usually a popular background character like Derpy) and/or transferring to Crystal Prep (where she's likely to re-encounter and befriend the Dazzlings), if she doesn't decide to return to Equestria.
• Given the sheer lack of information on Sunset's human counterpart, many fics like to either have them meet or explain how she replaced her alternate self.

    Outdated by Canon 

These plots used to be popular before events in canon completely invalidated them or provided a more interesting piece of Fanfic Fuel to play with. Either way, after the show told a certain story, fans stopped writing these stories:

• Before Season 2, stories about the Mane Six having to face the "Elements of Discord/Disharmony/Chaos", Evil Counterparts to their Elements of Harmony, were quite common. And then the Season 2 opener happened and made it sort-of canon with the reveal of Discord. And years down the line, Season 8 gave us the Mean 6, clones created by Chrysalis who are opposites of the originals.
• After Season 2 and the reveal of Discord, spirit of chaos and disharmony, stories abounded with Discord escaping from his can again, either to continue to wreak havoc... or somehow falling into Defeat Means Friendship, despite him being one of the few purely evil characters in the entire series. The second of these became Hilarious in Hindsight given the premise of the Season 3 episode, "Keep Calm and Flutter On".
• Prior to his reformation, Discord was a prime choice for an God of Evil-type entity when one was needed to act as the Big Bad of a story, due to his nature as a god of chaos and disharmony and even now being one of the most powerful characters in the series. A key part of this was how, in terms of sheer power, he was shown outclassing even Celestia and Luna, who had been the most powerful beings in the show (and by extension, in most or all fanons) before he appeared.
• An Enemy Mine type where Discord is forced to join with the Mane Six. Bonus points if it turned out the thing created Discord, or at least Discord knew what it was.
• It's popular to pit the gang from Friendship is Magic against updated versions of G1 villains, such as Tirek from "Rescue at Midnight Castle", the Smooze from the movie, and Grogar from "The Return of Tambelon". The show would eventually come to make use of all these villains to varying degrees.
• Trixie was a common target for Hurt Comfort Fics and Dark Fics, and multiple fics exist for her being taken in by (and often shipped with) every single member of the mane cast, but especially Twilight.
• Trixie becoming a laughingstock and forced into destitution following the events of "Boast Busters" and seeking revenge on Twilight. Bonus points since this plot became canon in the episode "Magic Duel".
• It used to be common for Derpy (now officially named Muffins) to be The Woobie, having a speaking disorder that typically made her speak gibberish and being The Klutz, which caused her to be ostracized by other ponies. This plot has since faded out, with more fans (and the show itself) preferring Muffins as just being a klutz with strabismus
  
  (with optional vision problems) instead of being mentally disabled, and the only remainder of it is her new name and calling Dinky "muffin."
• "Luna reintegrates into Equestrian society" stories became endemic in the fandom almost since day one, even after the actual episode which featured it, with Progress only being the most well known. Almost all contain some form of The Atoner mixed with Endearingly Dorky, No Social Skills, and Fish out of Temporal Water, and most draw some sort of parallel to Twilight's situation, if not outright having Twilight help her adjust. "Luna Eclipsed" confirmed all of these and further strengthened their prevalence, although later ones drop the fan-made Shrinking Violet portrayal and adopt the official Large Ham portrayal.
• "Character X was a changeling all along" fics exploded in popularity after the changelings were introduced, though their ubiquity made them something of Dead Horse Trope before long.
• There's a good number of fics revolving around a Changeling turning up in Ponyville sometime after the Royal Wedding... and one can safely bet that Fluttershy will be the first to find said Changeling. One fiction parodies this concept in general (though it was written as a parody of one specific fic), by making everypony a changeling (except Celestia). A three-way changeling civil war ensues. A changeling eventually showed up in "Slice of Life" as a sight gag, and a more plot-relevant case occurred when Spike (not Fluttershy) befriended a benevolent changeling in Season 6.
• A seventh Element of Harmony being revealed. If an OC is involved, it usually requires a retcon of what happened when they were first used. When an OC wasn't involved, Trixie was a common candidate. After the Tree of Harmony was introduced, these stories died out for the most part. That said, while one doesn't exist for Friendship is Magic, Word of God states that Sunset Shimmer is the seventh element for the Equestria Girls side of G4's continuity (representing "empathy").
• Due to the lack of visible family, "Scootaloo is discovered to be orphaned/abused/etc. and gets adopted" is practically a genre unto itself. Rainbow Dash is popular as someone to adopt Scootaloo, but there are adoption stories with each of the Mane Six, pairings among the Main Six, Ms. Cheerilee (it helps that in G3, Scootaloo is Cheerilee's little sister and their personalities don't change overly much for FIM) Lyra and Bon Bon, Original Characters, fellow classmates of hers who are aged up for the story, Celestia, Luna, and even Discord. These fanworks became less common when a book revealed that Scootaloo's parents are around but busy, with Scootaloo being predominantly reared by her two aunts. An episode in the final season would confirm this information definitively by showing both of Scootaloo's parents, on-screen and very much alive. This episode ended up killing off the "Scootaloo is an orphan" stories for good.
• Vinyl's eyes turn out to be red (a common theory among the fandom before her actual eye colour was revealed to be a magenta similar to Rainbow Dash's) and she wears glasses all the time to cover them up. She may have been bullied because of them in her youth, and revealing her eye colour to Octavia (in the more shippy fics) is a big sign of her trust and love for Octavia.
• There are countless fanfics where Changelings are made out to be the noble, majestic master race, and more often than not victims of an increasingly demonized, hate-filled, fascist and Balkan-esque genocidal Equestria. We're not sure whether or not these authors have been replaced by Changelings. This concept isn't quite so far-fetched now that the entire Changeling race has reformed themselves into majestic creatures as of the Season 6 finale.
