History FanFic / IntoTheHedge

* ImpostorForgotOneDetail: And quite a huge and costly detail to forget, at that:
-> “Beidh mé ag iarraidh ar an ach aon uair amháin, rud is beag,” he said. His voice was low and harsh, completely alien from the gentle calm they all knew. “Cá bhfuil Apple Bloom?”
-> ... Apple Bloom choked but was able to get out a weak response. “Tá... tá mé Apple Bloom,” she croaked. “Tá mé an duine is óige de na-” Any further words she was about to say where cut off when Lero’s grip around her throat suddenly tightened like a vice. Rainbow could hear something starting to go “crunch”. Once again, his eyes shifted, turning an icy blue that chilled the soul.
-> “If you were Apple Bloom, then how could you know that language?”

* {{Interquel}}: Into The Hedge takes place at some point during Chapter 25 and 26 in Divided Rainbow.

Lero will have to confront his past and his sins as they all journey Into the Hedge.

* TheSoulless: The ‘Cutie Mark Crusaders’ that return from the forest. They go about their daily lives on an emotionless autopilot. Though they’re not quite so unresponsive as to put up with schoolyard bullying, as [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Diamond Tiara can attest to...]]

For years, Lero Michaelides has lived in the peace of Ponyville. He has a home, a job, and a loving family. Even after the Swap turned his world upside-down, he held onto that peace with every ounce of will. Lero’s future looked tough, but he knew that he and his mares -old and new- could weather it together.

* DealWithTheDevil: The agreement Lero makes with The Lady: in exchange for a cure to the Swap, he will re-enter the Lady’s service on the day of his first daughter’s seventh birthday. For the record, Herd Bellerophon’s still hasn’t figured out how a human man and his pony sweethearts can conceive a child.

-> The Messenger closed his fist and the cloud was gone. A smile grew on his face. ''“But before that, there is something you must know, Ridire.”'' It leaned down until its face was level with the human’s. ''“There has already been an incursion.”'' The Messenger reached into a pouch on his belt and pulled something out. He handed that something Lero, who felt his blood run cold. It was strip of pink linen, worn from many years of use and dirty from weeks of activity. Lero’s eyes widened. It was just the right size for a child’s bow. A bow a certain yellow filly wore in her red hair.

-> The Messenger held his hand out and the document float up into the air. ''“Now it is official.”'' The parchment warped, ripped, and fractured before Lero’s eyes, as if it was coming apart on an atomic level. As the swirling cloud of particles that was once the contract began to collapse, the Messenger spoke again.

* HappilyMarried: Although the members of Herd Bellerophon haven’t taken any official vows, this is still the nature of their relationship, even Rainbow Dash, the ‘newest’ member, (who hasn’t moved into their house yet.)

* EnfantTerrible: The ‘Cutie Mark Crusaders’ are quite the sociopaths.
--> “Girls,” cried Pinkie Pie. “What were y’all thinking?!’ She grabbed Apple Bloom by the shoulders and shook her. The filly hardly gave any reaction. “D’ya even know what y’all done?!”
-->“Ah broke her jaw,” Apple Bloom answered.
--> Pinkie Pie gasped and stopped shaking her sister. “Wha…”
--> “I broke her legs,” said Sweetie Belle, as if she’d been asked “how was the weather?” Her mother clutched her father’s hoof tightly.
--> “And I made sure she’d never be mean again,” said Scootaloo.

--> The creature's face sent a small shiver down Lero’s spine. Like the rest of it, the creature’s skin looked to be laid over a bare skull. Cracked lips formed a smile that held a set of sharp teeth. It had no eyes, at least not on its face. Lero could see indentations of where eyes should be, but the sockets were simply covered in more yellow, leathery skin. A pair of brown horns rose up from its forehead, swooping back over its bald scalp and then tapering upwards at the end. A pair of black feathered wings rose up behind the creature and it was here the creature beheld Lero. Along its wings, eight golden eyes opened up and stared at him.

* ChangelingTale: While not involving any of Queen Chrysalis’ buglike changelings, this trope is still very much in effect… played in the most classic sense possible when ‘Silk’ abducts the Crusaders and leaves {{Doppelganger doppelgängers}} behind to cover her tracks.
