History FanFic / WorldOfPonycraft

* KillEmAll: The ''prologue.'' Deathwing torches most of Ponyville, who then have to be Mass Resurrected by the princesses. (Except for Dash, who was flying too high to be caught in it. She then grouses that she missed [[http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=5518/stood-in-the-fire the achievement.]]) Taken lightly at first, but the various flashbacks to the Cataclysm give rather sobering accounts of the fact that, yes, everypony really did get violently burned to death. Worse still, [[spoiler:Sweet Apple Acres was outside the Mass Resurrection radius -- were it not for her family being in town for chance reasons and a surly drunken dwarf with "nipple clamps" passing by the farm as a first responder, ''none of them would have gotten back up.'']]

* BalefulPolymorph: This has fast become Twilight's favorite spell, or at least her most used.

--> The knights of Luna was led by a murderous, undead version of a gender swapped Pinkie Pie.
--> Giddy App the Insane

** Earlier, a captured cultists totally freaks out during interrogation when Pinky threatens her with Fanfic/{{Cupcakes}} treatment.

* AmazonBrigade: [[CaptainObvious The mane cast]].
* AndYourRewardIsClothes
* BadassAdorable

* DarkIsNotEvil: Rarity's powers.

* GoodIsNotNice: Shadowbolts.

* LampshadeHanging: The story is ''made'' of this trope.

* BadassBookworm: Twilight Sparkle, and to a lesser extent Rarity [[spoiler: Voidhorn, A.K.A Night Sky is a fallen version of this]].

* CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: apart from Equestria-specific drops, most WoW weapons are designed for humanoid players. Unless they can be strapped to the legs somehow, they have to be wielded with the mouth.

* EliteMooks: Elites, as apporopriate to WoW.

* WorthIt: WOW tanks know very well that their job is to take hits so their teammates don't have to, but it's very easy to abstract everything into your health bar and not think about that. This story pulls absolutely no punches in detailing that Applejack (and Dash when necessary) are getting skin burned off with magic, swarmed by venomous flesh-eating insects, ribs smashed and limbs dislocated several times in the space of a minute, impaled a few times, and generally getting the ''ever-loving horseapples'' beaten out of them. Continually. And yet...

* StealthPun: In WorldofWarcraft, 'epic' items are [[ColorCodedforYourConvenience colored]] purple. Now guess what Spike calls Twilight when he's riding her. [[spoiler: She's an epic mount.]]

** Earlier, a captured cultists totally freaks out during interrogation when Pinky threatens her with {{Cupcakes}} treatment.

Woes for him, he succeded to the point of [[GoneHorriblyRight removing even his own millenary spell, which he managed to contain the pony race]]. Now free (forced) to join the races of Azeroth, the powerful but kind equine race must adapt to a new world, new races and new loot right at their hooves.

Also, it is not a Crossover with the World of Warcraft the world. It's a crossover with the ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' the [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPG]]. Yes, It's as awesome as it sounds.

* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: Between the intersection of surprisingly emotionally charged storytelling and [[DeepImmersionGaming standard MMO mechanics that completely screw with it]], and the fact that both sides of the crossover are rather known for their warped senses of humor, expect to be ready to nod and go along with it a few times a chapter. By the time you get around to the reveal that Celestia and Luna [[spoiler:have alts in the Cutie Mark Crusaders guild]] you'll probably be game to just roll with the loony.

* BadassBookworm: Twilight Sparkle and lesser extent Rarity [[spoiler: Voidhorn, A.K.A Night Sky is a fallen version of this]].
* BadassCreed: the Night Guard's vow

Woes for him, he succeded to the point of [[GoneHorriblyRight removing even his own millenary spell, which he managed to contain the pony race]]. Now free (forced) to join the races of Azeroth, the powerful but kind equine race must adapt to a new world, new races and new loot right at their hoofs.

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7063283/1/World_of_Ponycraft World Of Ponycraft]] by Cap'n Chryssalid is the recently finished (as of 07-29-11) telling the story of Azeroth. Specifically when the [[BigBad Dragon Aspect Deathwing the Destroyer ]] awakened after his eons long sleep, his damaged body finally reconstructed from being near torn apart after the Titanic fight between the Dragon Aspects. Bringing with him a wave of destruction of [[ApocalypseHow apocalyptic levels]], sundering the world again, killing untold millions and undoing the most ancient and powerful spells on the planet.

* TheHeart: - discussed. In an attempt to make Morningstar smile, Pinky Pie uses her totems for a brief CaptainPlanet spoof. Later, she talks about how she really is TheHeart for her elemental spirits, allowing the opposite elements to work together.

* SureWhyNot: At the conclusion of the story, the Manes get an achievement for completing the dungeon, but the author accidentally forgot to show Dash getting it too. When this was brought to the author's attention, he added an epilogue where Dash [[DeepImmersionGaming petitions a GM for it.]]

--> ''Rainbow Dash'': "This. Is why. I hate. PVE!!"

* TwentyBearAsses: The girls were once given a quest to find three pristine manticore tails, which end up taking them all day. And the original quest giver was still picky about how pristine one of the tails was. There is a reason why Dash hates PVE.

* BalefulPolymorph: This had become fast Twilight favorite spell or at least the most used.

* BewareTheNiceOnes. Rarity is always calm and good-mannered, even in the middle of a battlefield. Then she [[spoiler: gets killed by a cultist, getting her mane burned for extra insult. On their next meeting, she forces the cultist to shoot his companion and then mind-controls him out of the window.]]
