* OneWingedAngel: Ironically, Shades of Grey does ''not'' fit the trope comfortably since he doesn't physically transform; his absorptions are instead marked by the attachment of scales (the transformed bodies of his victims) to his wings.

----
!This fanfic provides the following tropes:

*BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Shades of Grey is an embodiment of chaos and disharmony, so they figure Discord - the ''god'' of chaos and disharmony, and thus his hierarchical superior - would be a fitting counter.
** [[spoiler:DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Discord loses.]]
*BigBad: Shades of Grey.
*FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: Shades of Grey states that he despises "all things harmonious." Being an embodiment of disharmony himself, it's possible that such things actually fundamentally offend him.
*GoodWingsEvilWings: Shades of Grey has one white and one black.
*InconvenientSummons: Twilight (as an alicorn) is capable of teleporting both herself and other people to and from any location she can visualize. Spike gets teleported this way in chapter 2, without warning, and is summarily confused.
*MadeOfEvil: Shades of Grey. The Elements of Harmony neutralize evil by absorbing it and sealing it away for later dispersal, similar to how a vacuum cleaner sucks up dirt and keeps it in a bag. Shades of Grey is what happens when that dirt piles up, becomes sentient, and breaks out of the bag.
*NiceJobBreakingItHero: Shades of Grey wouldn't have been released in the first place if the mane six hadn't attempted to use the Elements when there was obviously something wrong with them, but in their defence they had no way of knowing.
*OneManArmy: Shades of Grey lays siege to Canterlot, killing dozens of royal guard effortlessly, without any backup.
*SealedEvilInACan: Shades of Grey.
*ShoutOut: The story's very premise and title are references to the iconic song [[FinalFantasyVII One Winged Angel]].
**Rainbow Dash refers to the aforementioned InconvenientSummons as [[DragonballZ "instant transmission"]].
**Shades of Grey was [[DragonballGT born from the build up of negative energy]] in the Elements of Harmony.
**"''Wait,'' [[Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey Shades of--?]] ''Bwahahaha!'' ''[[TakeThat I can't believe you said that.]]''"
*SpikesOfVillainy: Shades of Grey.
*TitleDrop: Chapter 3 refers to Shades of Grey as the ''One Winged Alicorn''.
*WhatTheHellHero: Rainbow Dash spends most of chapter 2 building up to one. Not only had she taken Twilight's coronation and ascension into high society rather badly to begin with, but the mention of the "Harmony" spell (which would potentially allow Twilight to wield the Elements' power on her own) is what pushes her into firm "oh, you don't need us anymore?" territory.
*YouWillBeAssimilated: Shades of Grey absorbs [[spoiler:Discord and Luna]], incorporating their powers into his own.
