* FaceDeathWithDignity: Subverted.

She appears to snap, repeatedly refusing to kill Comet and yelling for Rarity to disappear. She eventually does- only for Blossom to find that her family has left, except for her mother, who is crying uncontrollably into Applebloom's arms.]]

* XMeetsY: The story has often been compared to the TV show Dexter.

The sequel, ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/50848/the-public-life-of-sweetie-belle The Public Life of Sweetie Belle]]'' picks up right where The Secret Life of Rarity leaves off but from Sweetie Belle's perspective. She is forced to deal with the fallout of Rarity's actions. Many ponies around town suspect that she will follow in the hoofsteps of her sister, despite the fact that she shows no desire to do so. The story spans about twenty-five years and results in Sweetie Belle eventually having a daughter out of wedlock named Joyous Blossom. Much like her mother, Blossom, as she is called, is under suspicion that she will follow in Rarity's hoofsteps but once again she shows no desire to do so, even when confronted with bullies. The story ends with [[spoiler: Sweetie Belle being institutionalized for life after taking the fall for Blossom's accidental murders of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's daughters.]]

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Near the end, two guards watching over [[spoiler:Comet decide that holding her hostage to draw out Blossom is going too far and decide to help her break out. They are both promptly murdered by Blossom, who was there to rescue Comet and assumed that they were moving her to another location under Celestia's orders.]]

* TimeSkip: After Blossom is transferred to the care of the Apple family, ten years passes with her living peacefully on their farm.

* BullyHunter: If you are mean to Rarity's friends and family, don't expect to see your next birthday. Or the end of the next week for that matter.
