History FanFic / TheDresdenFillies

* CutenessProximity: Hilariously, Dresden suffers this upon first meeting Twilight, saying that just seeing her makes him want [[OutOfCharacterMoment to squeal like a little kid and hug her.]] He later describes Fluttershy as "weapons-grade adorable".
** When he meets Luna, he's struck by how {{adorkable}} and [[NoIndoorVoice LOUD]] she is.

* PhysicalGod: Harry meets Celestia and describes her as being as powerful and graceful as a Lady of the Fae Court, minus [[TheFairFolk the scary]]. He is absolutely impressed when he learns that [[CuteWitch Twilight]] is her student. Luna, for obvious reasons, isn't quite as powerful, but he can sense that she still is miles above him. [[PalsWithJesus They get on smashingly.]]
* PopCulturedBadass: Dresden manages to [[ShoutOut reference]] Film/ThePrincessBride, the [[Series/DoctorWho new "Who"]], Franchise/StarWars (twice!), Franchise/IndianaJones and [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries use a Vulcan greeting]] in ''Strange Friends'' alone. Without breaking a sweat.

* PopCulturedBadass: Dresden manages to [[ShoutOut reference]] Film/ThePrincessBride, the [[Series/DoctorWho new "Who"]], Franchise/StarWars (twice!) and [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries use a Vulcan greeting]] in ''Strange Friends'' alone. Without breaking a sweat.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Non-romantic version. When a veiled Ouroboros, in search of Harry, starts attacking people at Navy Pier, Harry, Michael, Twilight and Rainbow must unleash an almighty battle just to put her to flight. As the fight rages, Harry becomes acutely aware that the onlookers perceive not four heroes saving them from a monster but two large men and two fit teenage girls ganging up on one tiny, ragged, shoeless old woman who appears to be mentally unwell.

* BadassGrandpa:[[spoiler: Keen Vision, a old blind pegasus who rescued Twilight from the Order Triune before she was reunited with her friends.]]

* BiggerBad: [[spoiler:He Who Walks Behind, since he was the being to whom Obsidian traded his heart in exchange for power.]]
