History Fanfic / TheReturnOfPrincessNightmareMoon

* RealityEnsues: [[spoiler: Faust resurrecting Chrysalis and making her into a goddess finally caused Chrysalis to forgive her. However, Chrysalis still resents her siblings, especially Celestia for killing her and hurting her in their previous encounters. Maybe being a goddess helped Chrysalis with her hunger but it doesn't erase the violent history between her siblings.]]

* NotSoDifferent: Cadance may still have her canon personality, but she can be just as vindictive as Nightmare Moon when angered enough. [[spoiler: When she exiles Sombra for nearly destroying the Crystal Empire by trying to manipulate the weather after she told him not to do it, she tells him that she does not believe in Celestia's ThouShallNotKill rule and that he was only going to get exiled since nopony died.]]

* {{Adorkable}}:
** Bandaid, Nightmare Moon's nurse is this. Increased in the sequel.
** Twilight Sparkle, per canon.

All of Equestria is united in celebration for the return of their beloved Princess Nightmare Moon. But when Celestia and everypony else recieve her she's skeletally starved, filthy, and very nearly dead. Meanwhile, while everypony's eye is turned, a lusty Blueblood pursues Twilight Sparkle, intent on adding her bloodline to his own so his family might step closer to godhood.

This is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fan fiction written by Aegis Shield. You can find this fanfic [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/56854/the-return-of-princess-nightmare-moon here]] and its sequel [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/96271/the-affection-of-princess-nightmare-moon here]].

** Bandaid, Nightmare Moon's nurse is this. His adorkableness increased in the sequel.

%%* EthicalSlut: Nightmare Moon, in her own way.

* KickTheDog: Once Chrysalis [[spoiler:ascends, whe kidnaps Bandaid and uses him as a bargaining chip to start her own kingdom. She is quite abusive to him whenever he speaks out of turn, beating him unconscious in one scene.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: You really don't want Nurse Bandaid angry [[spoiler: or having all of his love sucked out by a changeling]].

* BigSisterBully/ BigSisterInstinct: [[spoiler:Celestia zigzags between these tropes depending on the situation. While Celestia does love her younger siblings, her duties to Equestria surpass her duties to her siblings, which results in her punishing them when they do something that threatens Equestria, such as Discord reversing gravity or Nightmare Moon trying to bring eternal night. The punishments also extend to her siblings if they try to kill each other as Chrysalis found out the hard way when she attempted to kill Nightmare Moon. Overall, when Celestia is not bound by her duties as a Princess, she does attempt to improve her troubling relationship with her siblings, as seen when she allows Chrysalis I to the castle in the sequel despite their last encounter ending very badly.]]

* CainAndAbel: Chrysalis' relations with her siblings aren't good, especially with Nightmare Moon due to directly causing her to wage war on Celestia. The reason to that is due to bitter envy on her sisters and brother's godhood and also that she and her hive are always hungry. Celestia stands at the opposite side of the spectrum, having fought three of her four younger siblings over the years. Deconstructed [[spoiler:as Celestia has some trust issues, believing that Cadence will betray her someday, and Chrysalis wants nothing to do with any of her siblings unless it involves family meetings.]]

* TheDeterminator: Chrysalis in the sequel. [[spoiler: After three months of constant suffering from her previous defeat against Celestia, the first thing she does is plan her revenge. Even with Celestia outsmarting her and Chrysalis being weakened due to starvation and her recovery, she still challenges her eldest sister despite the power gap between them. Deconstructed in that it leads to her death when Celestia accidentally gives her a OneHitKill while defending herself.]]

* TheDutifulDaughter: As the oldest of her siblings, Celestia fits this trope. All she wants to do is take care of Equestria since her mother is gone, but she also has to protect Equestria and her siblings from threats...even if those threats are some of her siblings like Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Chrysalis.[[spoiler: The sequel reveals that Celestia was always the peacemaker between her bickering siblings. She makes it her duty to mend the broken relationship between Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis as well as to reconcile with the latter. Deconstructed, as both Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis have some trauma with their respective punishments.]]

* EthicalSlut: Nightmare Moon, in her own way.

* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Averted with Discord, who is the only male out of his siblings but still the strongest just like in canon thanks to him being a RealityWarpet. [[spoiler:His first action after escaping his prison is to easily trap Celestia in her own memories, showing how much of a threat he is.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Celestia in the sequel. While she accepts Chrysalis into the castle to make amends between herself, her, and Nightmare Moon, she knows that Chrysalis won't hesitate to cause trouble if left unsupervised. [[spoiler: When she feeds her alicorn love, she places an advanced sleeping spell that will activate three seconds after feeding to prevent Chrysalis from drinking too much love and get overpowered. She even had soldiers preparing to shoot Chrysalis should the spell fail. Subverted in that she genuinely believes that Chrysalis wants to reforms and is surprised when Chrysalis tries to kill her out of resentment for a life of being TheUnfavorite and the events of the first story.]]

* BlackComedy: Nightmare Moon's cannibalistic appetite is mostly played for laughs, to the point that Celestia casually asking Bandaid to keep her from eating ponies when they go out to Nightmare Night together is treated as a joke.

* HypocriicalHumor: In chapter 5 of the first fic, after having been quite displeased at being told she's not to have sex for some time yet and secretly planning her visits to Celestia's harem, Nightmare Moon then goes on to harangue and physically assault Blueblood for having pornographic magazines and dating guide books on his person.

* ShoutOut: The [[HalloweenEpisode Nightmare Night chapter]] has a shout out to ''[[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''.

** Nightmare Moon is the goddess of the Night, Moon, Wine and '''''Lust'''''.

* NotSoAboveItAll: The sequel shows that Celestia is not as mature as she believes she is. [[spoiler:She was trying to force Nightmare Moon to reconcile with Chrysalis and treated their feud as a childish dispute when her relationship with Discord is no better. She chastises Nightmare for trying to start a war with Chrysalis over Bandaid when she sealed Discord for hundreds of years after he killed Mountain Blood when he reversed gravity in Equestria.]]

* ResurrectiveImmortality: All of Faust's children can be killed but will use this trope to resurrect. Chrysalis did not have this ability on account of being mortal [[spoiler:but she finally obtains it when Faust turns her into a goddess when Celestia accidentally killed her.]]

GoodThingYouCanHeal: One of the benefits that Chrysalis has after [[spoiler:ascending is a HealingFactor that allows her to survive what would have been a brutal pummeling from a berserker Bandaid had she not ascended. She even goes as far as to challenge Celestia to break her carapace again, which is quite a bold dare considering how much she suffered from the last time that happened.]]
