History FanFic / FaithAndDoubt

-->"You know…normally I’d enjoy dissecting your emotions like a frog and rebuilding you into a more polite pony but even immortals have time limits."

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Loyalty]] in ''The Abundance'' is shown to be this in spades. One can assume that [[spoiler:the other Abstracts]] are as well.

* MotiveRant: [[spoiler:The Elemental Abstracts]] give a ''ton'' of these in ''Abundance'', most notably [[spoiler:Loyalty]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash]] has one of these moments after breaking free of her possession in ''The Abundance.]]

** The plotline of ''TheAbundance'' has several to ''Theatre/LesMiserables''. Including a scene that was ultimately removed in which the prisoners would have sung ''Do You Hear The People Sing''.

** [[spoiler:Twilight is furious with Faith for destroying Cloudsdale, seemingly without a second thought, when Loyalty tries to merge with it. Shining Armor quickly turns this on her head for failing to understand the emotional turmoil Faith is going through for killing his brother and being hated by his truest friend for it.]]

* TheAtoner: Spike. [[MyGreatestFailure ""The greatest mistake I've ever made was walking away from her last night. I am going to spend the rest of my life making it up to her" ]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:The Elemental Abstracts want to create a world free of war, suffering and misery. Unfortunately, their methods of achieving this are basically becoming the pony versions of [[NineteenEightyFour Big Brother]].]]

** In ''Abundance'', [[spoiler:Spitfire is ''not'' happy about Twilight welcoming Rainbow back with open arms after everything she did while under Loyalty's control. She calms down after Flim gives her a heart to heart.]]

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Kindness]]

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: In The Abundance, Loyalty drops Dinky Hooves and the Doctor to their deaths. At the very last moment, Derpy Hooves (who has spent the entire story nearly comatose because of the kidnapping of her daughter, breaks the SOUND BARRIER and performs the Sonic Rainboom in order to save them. This is followed by most of the rebellion, led by Rainbow Dash, cheering her as flies over head.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: Twilight and [[spoiler:Doubt]] advocate this.

** [[spoiler:The Abstract Loyalty]] has the ability to induce this in ''The Abundance.''

** [[spoiler: Doubt's]] complains about Celestia forgetting about him and turning him into the creature he is now (after her helped her save Equestria) is one of these.

* TheAtoner: Spike. ""The greatest mistake I've ever made was walking away from her last night. I am going to spend the rest of my life making it up to her"

** The plotline of ''TheAbundance'' has several to ''LesMiserables''. Including a scene that was ultimately removed in which the prisoners would have sung ''Do You Hear The People Sing''.

* GoForTheEye: Twilight vs Celestia, the de facto Sun Goddess. [[spoiler: Extra {{Irony}} in that Twilight renders said sun goddess BlindedByTheLight.]]

* MotiveRant: [[spoiler:The Elemental Abstracts]] give a ''ton'' of these in ''Abundance''.

** Twilight gives one to [[spoiler: Rainbow Dash]] in Chapter 8.

* [[EtTuBrute Et Tu, Friends?]]: Twilight at the beginning sees herself as the victim of this when all her friends walk out on her for accusing Cadence as evil.

* TheScrappy: Invoked. The author openly stated in the beginning that she considers Shining Armor getting away with his JerkAss behavior in part 1 of the season finale, even with the brainwashing, was an "injustice", and openly criticized [=DarkLink22=] for "going easy" on him in ''Post Nupitals''. She has since mellowed out, but its still evident Shining has a ''long'' way to go in her eyes.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Doubt, and he's attracted to Twilight because of this.

** By-the-by, said beat was "[[MichaelJackson Beat It]]".
** Let's see... Chapter 19 being titled "[[spoiler:[[MeaningfulName Not Today]]]]", River Song's "Everybody knows that everybody dies" speech being quoted in the beginning [[spoiler: and end]] of said chapter, Twilight quoting the Doctor's [[spoiler: "This is it! You and me, one last hurdle!"]] line... ...[[SarcasmMode Yeah, it maybe be just me, but I think the author liked]] "[[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E9ForestOfTheDead Forest of the Dead]]".

Faith and Doubt is followed by ''FanFic/TheAbundance'', which deals with the aftermath of the first story and shows the dark side to harmony

Tropes in this fiction include:

* TheChessMaster: Doubt can be seen as one, as he moves Twilight into the position of becoming an alicorn and giving him a physical alicorn form himself.
** [[spoiler: Faith, in Fanfic/TheAbundance, is even more of a chessmaster, manipulating characters to get his way. WordOfGod has stated the story is a massive chess came pitting Twilight and Faith against the first Doubt]]

* MotiveRant: [[spoiler:The Elemental Abstracts]] give a ''ton'' of these in ''Abundance''.
