** Just seeing Spike in a monstrous form about to finish off the ponies he considered his friends and family is bad enough. But when you read the description to the comic, you realize that he turned into a beast due to being everyone's personal [[Butt Monkey]]. You can only imagine the amount of guilt each of them must have for causing their dear friend to turn into a [[Fridge Horror|monster they hardly recognize as their friend]].

* Seeing [http://csimadmax.deviantart.com/art/fluttershy-origins-287894382 Fluttershy crying for her mother] will cause your soul to shatter.
Line 105:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClMeWbsJ7wQ&feature=feedu The first episode] of an audio adaptation of the ''[[Pony POV Series]]'' manages to make Applejack's Discording (from her perspective) even ''more'' of a [[Tear Jerker]] thanks to the music and just how absolutely ''broken'' the voice actress makes her sound!
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xc0eGxYNlI The Eventual Goodbye]. Basically in a nutshell, Twilight believes that all will last forever with Spike and then she thinks on it some more as Spike starts to grow into an adult dragon and in turn, Twilight has to say goodbye to him forever. Sure it's all sketches, but it's nicely done that will leave many manly tears behind at the sentimental value of what could possibly happen in the end. And the music that's played the entire time doesn't help matters either. Very sad indeed.
* [httphttps://favweb.mearchive.org/web/20191216055554/https://www.deviantart.com/tiarawhy/art/d4i7p59Flash-Trixie-Alone-272456973 This flash video] starring a down on her luck Trixie who has essentially hit rock bottom. The music goes perfectly with the video as well. {{spoiler|Though it ends on a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], thanks to what seems to be Luna.}}

* A real [[Tear Jerker]] is from the fanfic adaptation of the "[http://aleximusprime.deviantart.com/art/quot-After-the-Gala-quot-255397965 After the Gala]" comics. Not only are the reactions of some of the Mane Cast this, the one that ''really'' takes the case is {{spoiler|Fluttershy's [[My God, What Have I Done?]] reaction to her bout of insanity at the Gala. She breaks down and sobs her eyes out at the fact she did something so cruel and horrible. Her friends are just left distraught at the fact they have ''no idea'' what they can say to comfort her.}} The writer even admitted to crying while writing that part! Though of course this just makes the rest of the fic that much more of a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] in the end.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130708150550/http://fairy-slayer.deviantart.com/art/MLP-FiM-Mommy-Nearest-195124067 Mommy Nearest] will make you cringe and cry at how much agony Rainbow Dash is suffering. It has a happy ending, but Mare, that's just sadistic.
** Be warned; it's not just a [[Tear Jerker]], it also contains [[Body Horror]] and [[Nausea Fuel]].
* Yet another [[Tear Jerker]] of a Fanfic, [http://robcakeran53.deviantart.com/#/d4b27q4 My Little Dashie] is based on a comic from Equestria Daily in which someone finds a baby Rainbow Dash in our world. He raises his 'daughter' and they have happy lives together for fifteen years. And then he gets a knock at the door, opens it to find [[Physical God|Celestia]] and the other Mane Six members, all there to take Rainbow Dash home. ''And he knew they'd be coming the entire time.''
Line 130:
*** Though of course {{spoiler|that all happened because Twilight Tragedy [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]] and will be reborn in their new timeline selves}} and Discord is finally overthrown. Still, it doesn't change how some parts are legitimently sad.
** Even the [[Lighter and Softer]] second half of the series has one in {{spoiler|Screwball's fate. She was a patient at a [[Bedlam House]] who escaped during Discord's rampage. Even after things go back to normal, she's still insane and has to be taken back, mumbling about how everything had "finally made sense" just a few hours earlier. This becomes even worse when you learn that, in this continuity, she's Diamond Tiara's mother.}}
*** From said Lighter and Softer second half, [https://web.archive.org/web/20141108220521/http://alexwarlorn.deviantart.com/art/Healed-Ponies-POVs-Applejack-260585443 Applejack's story]. {{spoiler|Applejack is invited to Canterlot in order to fully understand just how painful the honest and absolute truth is. She starts by seeing many of the ponies around Ponyville, and the full weight of their pain almost forces her to close the shutter if she hadn't stopped it with her own hoof. The images get more drastic and dramatic, and several painful truths come rushing to Applejack. Truths such as we all die eventually, [[Story of the Blanks|your sister had a nightmare adventure]], and Twilight will outlive you all and face the pony of death with new Elements of Harmony. Yet the thing that breaks her down the most is the fact that she could have had a child if she chose to stay in the city and earn a cutie mark from there. Perhaps the most tearjerker part is just how broken AJ is once they force her to stop, or how upset Celestia is at Applejack just not giving in.}}
