History FanFic / BetterLivingThroughScienceAndPonies

The story picks up where the single-player campaign of ''Portal 2'' ends, with Chell on the surface wondering what comes next and SelfDemonstrating/{{GLaDOS}} prepping Atlas and P-Body for co-op testing. Unfortunately, a malfunctioning portal gun (which Wheatley had previously "repaired" with [[DuctTapeForEverything duct tape]]) creates an "uber-portal" that pulls the entire Enrichment Center, Chell included, into another dimension... namely, Equestria.

* ShoutOut: When [=GLaDOS=] was giving Pinkie Pie her BreakTheCutie moment, she states that the only reason her friends were there was because they were worried she is only a few steps away from becoming a serial killer. One who bakes her victims into FanFic/{{Cupcakes}}.

* BreakTheCutie: [=GLaDOS=] manages to do this to most of the main cast.

* HannibalLecture: [=GLaDOS=] uses her brain-scanning technology to pick up on the ponies' insecurities (such as Rainbow Dash's fear of failure, Rarity's obession with her appearance, and Pinkie Pie's fears of being abandoned by her friends) and prey on them, in the name of "psychological stress-testing".

* WhenLifeGivesYouLemons:
-->'''[=GLaDOS=]''': Life has been giving me lemons... and by letting you go I tried to make lemonade. A simple, sweet answer. Now... now I’m going to take life’s lemons, turn them into combustible lemons, and then burn you alive with them. Just like Cave Johnson would do... now that was a smart human.”

* GravitySucks: Possible example at the end where [[spoiler: Caroline causes a black hole to form and destroys the facility]]

* NoodleImplements: You never find out what [=GLaDOS=] did or said to Luna.

* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: In a side story, [[{{Troll}} Celestia]] has a nice friendly chat with [[MyNameIsNotDurwood Gladys.]]

* FisherKingdom: ANYTHING that is sufficiently intelligent is turned into a pony upon entering Equestria, even GLaDOS, Atlas and P-Body, who aren't human-like at all.

* HarsherInHindsight: GLaDOS's statements that [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer everypony else]] thinks Ditzy/Derpy's retarded is lent support after the negative reactions to her appearance in The Last Roundup.

** Even more HilariousInHindsight after almost the exact same thing happens in A Friend in Deed

* SilentProtagonist: Chell, naturally. Given more of an explaination that she has no vocal cords [[spoiler: as they were removed, most likely by [=GLaDOS=], for "science".]] [[spoiler:This gets averted at the end, thanks to a gift from Luna - a necklace that turns Chell's thoughts into speech.]]

** WordOfGod states that this is because [[spoiler:[==GLaDOS==] never dies]].

* PityTheKidnapper: [[spoiler:When [=GLaDOS=] gets round to taunting Celestia, the princess verbally judo-masters her so thoroughly she is left alone in her test chamber.]]

* [[ActorAllusion Actress Allusion:]] Caroline's last name was never given in the games, but this story mentions it as [[=McLain=]], the same as her voice actress.

* PowerLimiter: [=GLaDOS=] devises a device that inhibits a unicorn's magical abilities. It's apparently powerful enough to render even Celestia and Luna (mostly) helpless.

* HeroicSacrifice / TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Caroline]], blowing up the facility to end [=GLaDOS=] once and for all.

* SilentProtagonist: Chell, naturally. Given more of an explaination that she has no vocal cords [[spoiler: as they were removed, most likely by [=GLaDOS=], for "science".]] [[spoiler:This gets averted at the end, thanks to Luna.]]

* [[spoiler:OneWingedAngel: [=GLaDOS=] pulls this when Chell confronts her, using a robotic body based off of Celestia's. She was going to make it human, be she said she realized 'she doesn't like them very much', and when in Equestria...]]

[[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/07/map-of-equestria-and-portal-pony-mod.html Now getting it's own Portal 2 mod.]] You should see the work on how the people managed to piece together the basic layout of Ponyville. [[http://aurebesh.deviantart.com/gallery/31093498 It's really quite amazing.]]
