* SharedUniverse: The sequel crosses over with another fanfic called ''ItsADangerousBusinessGoingOutYourDoor''.

* SharedUniverse: The sequel crosses over with another fanfic called [[Fanfic/ItsADangerousBusinessGoingOutYourDoor It's A Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: Spike and Gilda, full stop.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Since [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Fluttershy]] and [[AxeCrazy Pinkie Pie]] were forced to leave Ponyville because of what Twilight did during the series and since she [[AGodAmI also went insane in her own right]], most of the ponies in town [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating treat her like a pariah.]]

!!''Knights of Equestria'' contains the following tropes:

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Yellow Jacket eventually proves to be one. Also what Twilight starts to become during the story.

* SequelHook: The magical exoskeleton Twilight builds for Shining Armor is not only a ShoutOut to IronMan but a sort of allusion to the next story in the same universe.

* ReverseMole: Dusk Nox recently revealed that she was only working with the Master until new Bearers of the Elements emerged to take the place of those who fell. Now that they've started to appear, she's going to [[DefectorFromDecadence help the heroes kill him.]]
** Her first act was to plant Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie in Stalliongrad so they could keep an eye on him.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: While not actually blond, the villain of the piece ''does'' have a yellow coat.

* ShoutOut: There's quite a few {{Series/DoctorWho}} references spread throughout both stories... [[JustifiedTrope which is a given]] since the Doctor is a character in both.
* ShutUpHannibal: In what [[WordOfGod the author admits]] is a tribute to BlackestNight, the ponies power up [[KamehameHadoken the Rainbow Of Light]] by telling [[BigBad Tirek to basically]] [[StaringDownCthulhu shut up about how meaningless]] life is.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Spike the Dragon. What looked like his death was actually his being sent back in time to grow up so as to meet with the Knights after Ditzy's execution to help them pay [[CompleteMonster The Master back.]]

* StableTimeLoop: Twilight and Ditzy explain that everything they did as Dusk Nox happened because they remember it happening when they were separate entities. This [[BreadMilkEggsSquick leaves the others sort of woozy despite most of them having admitted to]] being [[TheChessmaster part of Dusk Nox's plan.]]

** Let's not forget that Twilight and Ditzy came back as [[FusionDance the super-powerful Dusk Nox]].

* AnyoneCanDie: And how....so far, the author has killed off [[spoiler:Trixie, Ditzy Doo and Twilight Sparkle.
** Not that the last two [[PlotArmor stayed dead.]]]]

** Not that the last two [[PlotArmor stayed dead.]]

* MismatchedEyes: Dusk Nox and the Master both have heterochromia. Also, both seemingly want bad things for everypony.
** Dusk Nox, having broken [[BrainwashedAndCrazy the Master's hold on Fluttershy]], tells her that she only pretended to help the Master in order to [[ReverseMole more effectively steer him to his death]] at the hooves of the Knights.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Yellow Jacket eventually proves to be one. Also what Twilight starts to become during the story.

* BiologicalMashup: Dusk Nox is the official reincarnation of both Twilight Sparkle and Ditzy Doo. Just before [[BigDamnHeroes the big fight scene, they separate back into their]] original selves and [[ShutUpHannibal pretty much start the talking-Tirek-to-death]] ball rolling. Explaining [[AfterActionReport how they got joined together]] in the first place [[TooMuchInformation gives everyone else a headache.]]

** Let's not forget that Twilight and Ditzy came back as [[BiologicalMashup the super-powerful Dusk Nox]].
