History Fanfic / PagesOfHarmony

Started on July 25, 2012, by Shadowed Rainbow, Pages of Harmony is a grimdark MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fanfic and contains extremely graphic content. The story itself can be read [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/5882/pages-of-harmony here ]], a reading is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWzw-htT_KY here]], and a short movie trailer can also be found [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIw8QmE8pr8 here ]]. But BE WARNED you'd better know what you're getting into.

Also has a series of text-based AskAPony blogs: [[http://askempresstwilight.tumblr.com/ Twilight herself]] (done by the author), [[http://askharmonysstudents.tumblr.com/ some of Twilight's followers]], and [[http://askthepath.tumblr.com/ some of Twilight's opposers]]. Be warned, though they are AU to the main fic, it takes place after Chapter 12, so expect MAJOR spoilers if you haven't gotten to that point.

* HypocriticalHumor: Twilight claims that she's ridding Equestria of all evil when all she's doing is actually making things worse.

* BodyHorror: When Twilight [[spoiler:becomes a Harmony Incarnate in chapter 12]]

* {{Gorn}}: Quite a bit of the ENTIRE fanfic up to its current point (Chapter 10 currently) - in a very scientific matter. The gore always has a purpose in context however, and the meticulousness of it just makes things worse.

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Twilight plans to become immortal after instituting her new world order, simply because ''she's afraid her successors won't use the same methods.'']]

* [[spoiler: MultiversalConqueror]]: [[spoiler: Twilight - though she'd prefer to use the word "Cleanser", as she sees her actions as being [[ForGreatJustice for the greater good]]]].

* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: Twilight restrains her friends in this manner so she can [[spoiler: experiment on them and remove their elements]].

* MindRape: Happens multiple times, each with its own horrifying twist.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: [[spoiler:Twilight. After she figures out what the genetic component for the Elements of Harmony is, her plan is to commit total genocide on anything without those genes, in a matter suspiciously (and [[WordOfGod deliberately]]) similar to the Holocaust. ''On a universal level.'']]

* [[spoiler: TakeOverTheWorld]]: Twilight's Plan as of Chapter 10.

* ColdBloodedTorture

* DarkerAndEdgier: As of chapter 10, the story seems to be headed this way. [[FromBadToWorse No,]] ''[[FromBadToWorse really]]''. [[spoiler:What seemingly started out as a simple gorefic in the vein of ''{{Cupcakes}}'' is now a story about Twilight Sparkle trying to TakeOverTheWorld (or rather, the universe) and commit genocide on any living thing without the capacity for the Elements of Harmony.]] The worst part of that is [[spoiler: she ''denies'' that her plan is morally wrong and refers to it as "cleansing" and [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans being for the good of harmony]]]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: As of chapter 10, the story seems to be headed this way. [[FromBadToWorse No,]] ''[[FromBadToWorse really]]''. [[spoiler:What started out as a simple gorefic in the vein of ''{{Cupcakes}}'' is now a story about Twilight Sparkle trying to TakeOverTheWorld (or rather, the universe) and commit genocide on any living thing without the capacity for the Elements of Harmony.]] The worst part of that is [[spoiler: she ''denies'' that her plan is morally wrong and refers to it as "cleansing" and [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans being for the good of harmony]]]].

* MadScientist: Twilight Sparkle, to the extent of [[spoiler:experimenting on her friends to extract their Elements]]. And it's implied with her talk of purity that her plan goes ''beyond that''.

* DarkerAndEdgier: As of chapter 10, the story seems to be headed this way. [[FromBadToWorse No,]] ''[[FromBadToWorse really]]''. [[spoiler:What started out as a simple gorefic in the vein of ''{{Cupcakes}}'' is now a story about Twilight Sparkle trying to TakeOverTheWorld and commit genocide on any living thing without the capacity for the Elements of Harmony.]] The worst part of that is [[spoiler: she ''denies'' that her plan is morally wrong and refers to it as "cleansing" and [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans being for the good of harmony]]]].

* EnemyWithin: Subversion - Twilight sees her ''conscience'' as this, seeing it as an interference in her plan, even though her conscience is in fact attempting to steer her back on the right path..

* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash actually refers to Twilight as this in chapter 10, although technically Twilight doesn't want to destroy ''everything'' - just everything without the right genes for the Elements.]]

[[caption-width-right:267:It may be harmonious, but there's a darker side...]]

* NecessarilyEvil: Twilight genuinely believes that [[spoiler:killing her friends, extracting their Elements from them, and killing off everything without the potential to exhibit them will destroy chaos and allow harmony to reign]].
