** The Faerie homeland of [[TheMysticKnightsOfTirNaNog Tir na Nog]]?
*** Nope, that's a reference to real-world CelticMythology.

* BlessedWithSuck: The Bugul Noz explains that Discord created the fae this way, as a joke.

* EdibleAmmunition: Bread is one of the many things that repels the fae.
* EldritchLocation: The homeland of the fae, Tir na Nog, is an extradimensional space made of stolen time.

* TheFairFolk: Changelings, kelpies, and the rest of the fae.

* MindControlEyes: Changeling mind control produces these.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Bon Bon is very aware that her refusal to tell Lyra the truth put her in danger.

* RealityWarper: The fae are this, and the Bugul Noz is the exact opposite.

* RousingSpeech: done by Aldrovanda suprisingly.

** The faerie homeland of [[TheMysticKnightsOfTirNaNog Tir na Nog?]]
*** Nope, that's a reference to real-world mythology.

--> '''Aldrovanda''': Far be it from me to criticize your face, by the by, but honestly I think I prefer it when you scowl at me. That smile is positively unnerving. I’m willing to take your impeccable dental care on faith, you know. You don’t have to show me every last incisor.

* TemptingFate: Happens to Bon Bon often enough that she is utterly unsurprised to find out that the universe literally does have it out for her.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Many of the fae are able to do this. Bon Bon has never been much good at it.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The fae are vulnerable to "the most common metal in the world" and to "randomly chosen plants, creatures, and objects."
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Bon Bon's attitude toward her Fae heritage
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Aldrovanda usually calls Bon Bon by her fae name Mendax. She only calls her Bon Bon when she's really desperate to get her attention.

* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: no tea but a reasonably polite conversation with an entity who refers to Discord his nephew.

--> '''Androlava''': Far be it from me to criticize your face, by the by, but honestly I think I prefer it when you scowl at me. That smile is positively unnerving. I’m willing to take your impeccable dental care on faith, you know. You don’t have to show me every last incisor.

* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Aldrovanda usually calls Bon Bon by her fae name Mendax. She only calls her Bon Bon when she's really paniced about losing her in the bog.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Bon Bon's attitude toward her Fae heritage

* SummonBiggerFish: Bon Bon's solution to Chrysalis? [[spoiler: a buggane]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: The fae are vulnerable to "the most common metal in the world" and to "randomly chosen plants, creatures, and objects."

This WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic FanFic contains examples of:

* ChekhovsGun: It's not certain, since the story is still a work in progress, but a possible example is Bon Bon's iron poker, which has so far been lost, found, stolen, returned, lost again, found again, and is currently MIA after Bon Bon [[spoiler: confronted Chrysalis.]]
** We can only hope that Lyra's "Fing-er" is this, since, judging by its description, it seems to be a suit of MagiTek, SteamPunk PoweredArmor.

* MixAndMatchCritter: The Bugul Noz looks like Discord taken Up To Eleven.
* MythologyGag: Lyra's "Fing-er" is this, if it's not a ChekhovsGun. Similarly, Bon Bon's inability to control her voice.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Queen Chrysalis, natch.

* PaintingTheMedium: When describing the realm of Faerie, the narration shifts into long paragraphs of run-on sentences.

* CompleteMonster: The fae in general are implied to be this. Bon Bon and Aldrovanda are both on the outs from their respective courts for not being cruel enough.

* JerkAss: almost all the fae, and Aldrovanda in particular.
