History Fanfic / MyLittlePlaneswalker

* ForWantOfANail: Time Turner stopped Stygian from making his deal that turned him into the Pony of Shadows, so he took the deceased Starswirl's place sealing Arzakon away, who was in his natural form.

** In one chapter of ''Twilight's Spark'', Twilight is shown to know several ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' spells by name. The chapter title is even called "[[MagicAmpersand Legends and Libraries,]]" and the chapter's card is an [=MtG=] version of the [=D&D=] spell ''legend lore.''

* ArcVillain: Sunset the Exiled, Sunset Shimmer's EnemyWithout, is this for ''Shattered Sunset'', while Starlight Glimmer's human counterpart is this for ''Glimmering Oil.''

* BrokenPedestal: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] Twilight is clearly upset by the revelation that Celestia kept her true nature as a planeswalker hidden from her, in part because she feared losing her, even having made her a princess in part so her responsibilities would keep her from leaving Ungula behind forever, but she ultimately continues to hold her mentor in high regard. By the end of ''Twilight's Spark,'' the two reconcile with each other easily.

** [[spoiler:Timber and Gloriosa are killed by the ''real'' Gaea Everfree]].
* DieOrFly: Every single one of the Humane Six have gained new magic abilities following the Phyrexian invasion in ''Glimmering Oil,'' but only after suffering a near-death experience at the hands of the Phyrexians.

* GaiasVengeance: [[spoiler: In ''Glimmering Oil'', the true Gaea Everfree is understandably pissed that the Phyrexian contagion has threatened her forest. Unfortunately, she can't differntiate between normal humans and corrupted ones, and kills Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy, and tries to do the same to the Humane Seven.]]

* BigGood: Time Turner, an ancient, powerful, and eccentric planeswalker who is just slightly older than Princess Celestia herself, and was personally mentored by Teferi. While he doesn't usually involve himself directly in the series' main conflicts, he does show up periodically to offer advice and guidance to the heroes. It's implied that he's doing ''something'' important behind the scenes, but it's never exactly clear what that is.

* EnemyWithin: Sunset the Exiled, the personification of Sunset's repressed rage and egotism, is this to Sunset Shimmer as a whole. Later she becomes an EnemyWithout.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy were killed off by the true Gaea Everfree after the Phyrexians arrived and spread their corruptive glistening oil on her world. Sunset and the [=HuMane Six=] discover their corpses in chapter 3, before Gaea manifests herself.]]

* NoSell: [[spoiler:Gaea Everfree]] manages to effortlessly shrug off every single attack thrown at her. [[spoiler: At least until Sunset learns she can channel her magic through Twilight.]]
** [[spoiler:The Harmonic magic the Humane Seven have renders them immune to Phyrexian corruption.]]

* ShipTease: Applejack/Rarity and Sunset/Twilight are both teased at various points in the stories. [[spoiler:Especially as Timber Spruce, [=HuMane=] Twilight's canonical crush, is revealed to have been killed off.]]

* MagicFeather: Celestia explains that Twilight's Planar Amulet isn't actually what grants her the ability to travel between planes, and that her true planeswalking ability has existed within her since the day she obtained her cutie mark. That said, the Planar Amulet still ''does'' still protect its wearer from the Blind Eternities' chaotic energies, so it's not completely without a power of its own. [[spoiler: This comes back to bite Anthropia when the New Phyrexians find it.]]

* TimeMaster: Time Turner, natch. As a pre-Mending planeswalker, he's had ''millennia'' to practice time magic.

* AGodIAmNot: The Gatewatch, especially Gideon, are reminded of the gods of Theros by Celestia and Luna, but they vehemently deny that they're divine, with Gideon notes that he's never heard of a true god denying their own worship.

* BrokenPedestal: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] Twilight is clearly upset by the revelation that Celestia kept her true nature as a planeswalker hidden from her, but she ultimately continues to hold her mentor in high regard. By the end of ''Twilight's Spark,'' the two reconcile with each other easily.

* SplitPersonalityMerge: When the two halves of Sunset Shimmer reconcile with each other at the end of ''Shattered Sunset,'' they both merge back together into a single being. [[spoiler: Sunset also gets a fancy new pair of wings out of it, too.]]

* ForWantOfANail: Time Turner stopped Stygian from making his deal that turned him into the Pony of Shadows, so he took Starswirl's place sealing Arzakon away, who did so in his natural form.

** Twilight Sparkle: HardLight constructs
** Rarity: [[BloodMagic Sangromancy]]
** Fluttershy: [[HealingHands Healing]] [[BlowYouAway wind]]
** Rainbow Dash: RazorWind
** Applejack: [[GreenThumb Plant control]]

* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Rarity is revealed to be this in one ''Sideboard Stories'' chapter.

** It's repeatedly suggested that Sunset herself would have a similar "awakening" in the same circumstance, but she's not willing to go through with the risk of being almost killed.

* GaiasVengeance: [[spoiler: In ''Glimmering Oil'', the true Gaea Everfree is understandably pissed that the Phyrexian contagion has threatened her forest.]]

* TimeMaster: Time Turner, natch.

--> '''Twilight''': Hold on, you don’t actually expect me to believe you have ''eleven'' doctorates, do you? [[VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing That’s ridiculous. It’s not even funny!]][[note]]Also doubles as a shout-out to the experimental music group ''Negativland'', like in Kingdom of Loathing itself.[[/note]]

--> '''Twilight:''' Several months ago, shortly after Starlight Glimmer came to your world, I conducted some preliminary research on the Mirror’s impact on Anthropia. I’d discovered that forcing the mirror open more than it was originally intended to had caused magic to leak through it, like a permanent planar gateway for mana. If left unchecked, I feared that the Mirror would cause your world to become... well, the best word I can think of would be [[Fanfic/OversaturatedWorld oversaturated]], but it’s a little bit more complicated than that.

--> '''Sunset the Exiled''': Ever since we became separate at the Fall Formal, you’ve been saddling me with ''all'' of your emotional baggage just so you wouldn’t have to deal with it yourself! But we didn’t have to stay separate! I could have known what it was like to feel love, or joy, or compassion, or empathy, if only you just let me in! Instead, I’ve never known anything but anger and resentment and... and ''spite,'' because that’s the only thing you’ve ever ''allowed'' me to feel!\\

'''Sunset the Exiled''': Do you have any idea— any ''idea'' just how much pain and resentment I’ve been having to deal with while you were out frolicking with your friends? ''I'' had to be the one to remember how Celestia turned us away, and left us all alone in a world we didn’t even know how to survive in! ''I'' had to be the one to remember all of the times we nearly froze to death sleeping outside in the slums! How many times we had to go hungry because we were too young to find work, and too unimportant for anyone else to care! ''I'' had to be the one to remember how Twilight robbed us of any chance we had left of returning and becoming Celestia’s student again, how she replaced us in the eyes of the only family we’ve ever had! I had to be the one to remember how she stumbled upon her wings by ''accident,'' when we’d worked so hard just to be good enough to earn Celestia’s attention in the first place! Because instead of learning to cope with any of these feelings, you passed them onto ''me,'' and then kept me imprisoned in the back of your mind so you could pretend I didn’t even exist! ''How was I supposed to feel about that, huh!?''

* BiTheWay: During a brief look into (an admittedly drunk) Chandra's perspective in ''Twilight's Spark'', she admist to being attracted to "every planeswalker except Jace."

* SealedEvilInACan: The ancient, demonic planeswalker Arzakon, revealed to be the true force behind the Pony of Shadows in ''Shadows over Equestria'' chapter of ''Sideboard Stories.''

* LesYay: With the exception of Jace/Liliana, all of the couples hinted at existing or potentially existing in this series have been lesbian. [[spoiler:[=HuMane=] Twilight's canonical male love interest, Timber Spruce, has even been killed off.]]

** Starlight Glimmer and Trixie are less "implied to be a couple" and more "an unspoken yet explicit couple", as Twilight accidentally interrupts them when they're making ou in the throne room.

* BiTheWay: During a brief look into (an admittedly drunk) Chandra's perspective in ''Twilight's Spark'', she considers trying to coax either Chandra or Gideon into have sex.

** Starlight Glimmer and Trixie are less "implied to be a couple" and more "an unspoken yet explicit couple", as Twilight accidentally interrupts them when they're about to have sex in the throne room.

** TwilightSparkle: HardLight constructs

** RainbowDash: RazorWind

** PinkiePie: ToonPhysics... somehow even ''more'' than before.

** [[spoiler: Sunset Shimmer has a ''much'' stronger version of this after merging with her EnemyWithout, and realizing she was right about how much Celestia hurt them both. While she still loves Princess Celestia deeply, it's clear that she came out of being turned away by her mentor with significant trauma, to the point where she flinches away from Celestia's first attempt to show any physical affection. Celestia is thankfully understanding, but it's clear that Sunset simply isn't ready to return to her side and will likely never see her in the same way again.]]

* WillfullyWeak: It becomes apparent that Princess Celestia is this, upon being captured by the Cuetzpali Empire. While she ''could'' blast her way out of her restraints, to do so would not only create excessive collateral damage, but also destroy whatever slim chance of diplomacy exists between Equestria and a much more militarily powerful nation.

* WillfullyWeak: It becomes apparent that Princess Celestia is this, upon being captured by the Cuetzpali Empire. While she ''could'' blast her way out of her restraints, to do so would not only create excessive collateral damage, but also destroy an already strained relationship with a much more militarily powerful nation.

* GaeasVengeance: [[spoiler: In ''Glimmering Oil'', the true Gaea Everfree is understandably pissed that the Phyrexian contagion has threatened her forest.]]
