* NamesTheSame: Page Turner shares her pony name with a minor character from the fic ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/247622/twilight-good-night Twilight, Good Night]]'', an archivist in the royal library. [[WordOfGod Evilhumour swears this is just coincidence and not a deliberate shout-out.]] Likewise, Wind Breaker shares his name with a minor pony character (albeit the latter's name is one word and not two) from ''[[Fanfic/ProjectSunflower Project Sunflower: Harmony]]''. Again, this was not a deliberate reference. (However, [[spoiler: Human!Applejack's]] reaction to the griffon Wind Breaker's name -- asking if he was named for a type of coat -- is the same as Anon e Mouse Jr.'s reaction to the pony character's.)

* ThrowItIn:
** The Hatchery System being modeled after the Residential Schools of Canada (a school system created for the purpose of removing children from the influence of their own culture and assimilating them into the dominant Canadian culture) was not intended from the beginning but after a while (around the time Page pointed out, and Wind Breaker finally admitted it, that the Hatchery system was designed to break the griffon in him), it became intentional.
** Some of Anon e Mouse Jr.'s earliest contributions to the fic, prior to his being made a full co-author, also qualify - he thought of something (such as Vix-Lei mentioning that the members of the Questioning Order gave her the creeps), made the suggestion, and Evilhumour liked it and had him put it in.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:

** Arc 2: Element Quest - Canterlot (chapters 8-26)
** Arc 3: Element Quest - The Outside World (chapters 27-34)

* During these 48 chapters, ''each'' of the six main characters gets eighteen [=PoV=] segments - or three times six (six being their ArcNumber). While this was actually deliberate, there are also a total of eighteen [=PoV=] segments for various characters outside the new Mane Six... which was sheer coincidence on the two writers' parts. Even they were surprised when they realized it.

** In a draft of a later scene for ''Picking Up the Pieces'', the lieutenant of the Royal Guard was named Steady Lance; however, when it came time to introduce him into the story, both Evilhumour and Anon e Mouse Jr. had forgotten that detail, resulting in Gentle's lieutenant being named Mist Flight. When Anon e Mouse Jr. found the scene again later, he decided to repurpose the name for the lieutenant of the Cadenza Guard.

** The fifth and final omake (and the last chapter of the story) is the third appearance of Anon e Mouse Jr.'s self-insert, this time non-canon to the character's previous appearances and involving a total plot derailment brought on when he uses his full and most dangerous ability.

** [[spoiler: Chapter 41 originally began with the group getting picked up in a limo to go to the dance, as in canon, but Anon e Mouse Jr. decided it didn't feel right and skipped straight to the dance. In addition, the entire chapter was going to be from Xvital's point of view, until Anon e Mouse Jr. decided the actual dancing scenes fit better with Night Blade.]]

** [[spoiler: Rex's Fall Formal outfit was originally a ShoutOut to a different character, before Anon e Mouse Jr. decided on the final version.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, [[spoiler: Anon e Mouse Jr. had written Professor Bill Neigh’s class to include a physics question from the WhatsAHenway page. He changed it after deciding it wasn’t as funny as he’d thought it was at first.]]

** A third omake, posted between chapters 25 and 26 and written by both Evilhumour and Anon e Mouse Jr. (but without his self-insert), focuses on Father Evergreen Road.

* BonusMaterial: The omake chapters written by Anon e Mouse Jr., featuring his [[AuthorAvatar self-insert character]], who has the powers (and then some) of [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Kamen Rider Skull]] and was created for an as-yet unwritten story. They are non-canon to this story, but he writes them for fun anyway.

-->"Call me Reel. Heir to the powers of Sokichi Narumi, the original Kamen Rider Skull."

* BonusMaterial: There's an omake chapter with an alternate take on a scene from chapter 11, written by the story's beta reader and featuring his unnamed [[AuthorAvatar self-insert character]], who has the powers (and then some) of [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Kamen Rider Skull]] and tells the characters the truth about the "demon bunny named Angel" before quoting [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa Kadoya]] to them and disappearing into another world.
