* HilariousInHindsight: The story has Spike gaining wings and trying to learn how to use them. About six years after the story was published, the cartoon itself gave Spike his own wings. Even funnier, he didn't have much trouble learning to use them.

These aren\'t YMMV. Moving.


* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Razorfang, who cared about Spike before their duel to the death but tried to go through with it anyway.]]



* MoodWhiplash: A mild example, but it still counts: [[spoiler:After learning about the untimely death of his biological mother and siblings, Twilight tries to cheer Spike up by telling him that his mother thought him important enough to try and defend from the hunters that killed her.]] He feels better almost immediately. At least until Spike is bombarded with rather scathing hate-mail [[spoiler:and a death threat]]
** Most of chapter 10 is pretty light-hearted, in keeping with the spirit of the show. [[spoiler:Then a harpoon nearly takes Spike's head off.]]
*** In chapter 11 [[spoiler: Spike and the Mane 6 are still recovering from the aforementioned harpoon launching, and just as Spike is starting to feel a little better, a stampede of ponies tell him that Razorfang has been spotted in Ponyville's outskirts.]]
**** After the duel with Razorfang, [[spoiler:everyone is having a great time at the party for Spike, until the leader of the anti-dragon protesters comes running up screaming for Spike to tell him that there's an anti-dragon riot going on in Ponyville.]]

* TheWoobie: Spike. The poor kid was put through a lot in this story: FantasticRacism, a duel to the death with another dragon, [[spoiler:even ''attempted murder'']]. WordOfGod says that he always viewed Spike as this in the series, which served as inspiration to this FanFic

* HarsherInHindsight: Arguably, this is true for one of the reasons why Razorfang is reluctant to either use Spike's name or give the 'hatchling' his own (Spike later considers it's probably not his real name). It's because [[spoiler: one dragon wishing another to call him by their actual name is to imply that they are considered family. Razorfang lost his mate and two young sons, to hunters 'a long time ago'.]] Even worse that Spike has no idea that what ''he'' thinks is a demand for some common courtesy means something else entirely to the older dragon.
