3	The newly coronated Princess Twilight suffers an abrupt tragedy. Having lost two loved ones, she begins to question her own mortality, and that of her friends: AJ, Dash, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy. And they are just the beginning. Twilight will live for thousands of years, so every pony she cares about, every pony she ''will ever'' care about, will die. She can barely handle the pain of one funeral, let alone the thought of hundreds of them. Twilight finds a clever way to ensure all of her friends never die. They can't all be ageless alicorns, but they can all move into [[TitleDrop Twilight's Dollhouse]]. [[OhCrap Then they can be best friends forever.]]

7	!!Tropes:
8
9	* BittersweetEnding: The first installment; [[spoiler:Twilight's reign of terror is ended, Scootaloo has escaped and Lyra is set free. But the rest of Twilight's victims have gone missing and Celestia was forced to execute Twilight to finally put the situation to rest]].
10	* BodyHorror: Ponies find themselves trapped in various types of dolls.
11	* CharmPerson
12	* DarkFic: All the way through. Seriously, this is essentially the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' equivalent of "[[Recap/TalesFromTheDarksideS3E5TheGeezenstacks The Geezenstacks]]".
13	* DarkerAndEdgier
14	* DistantFinale: [[spoiler:1000 years later, Twilight is ShroudedInMyth, many of her captives were never recovered, and only Celestia remembers her name.]]

16	* FallenHero: Twilight. '''Big time'''.
17	* FateWorseThanDeath: The dolls are trapped in the dollhouse against their will and forced to live forever to keep Twilight company.
18	** AndIMustScream: Anytime Twilight leaves the dolls inanimate for long periods of time. [[spoiler: Also, when Silver Spoon [[MoralEventHorizon freezes Lyra in a glass of water]].]]
19	*** Not to mention [[spoiler:Filthy being placed on the hot plate]].
20	*** [[spoiler: The Crusaders certainly try. Too bad Silver Spoon ignored them.]]
21	* GildedCage: Twilight painstakingly recreates the entire town, and traps the dolls in it.
22	* {{Jerkass}}: A lot of the dolls, Bon Bon especially - victims of kidnapping though they may be, their efforts to resist her only thwart Lyra's efforts to help Twilight work through her depression and result in Twilight crossing the MoralEventHorizon in retaliation.
23	* KnightTemplar: Twilight believes that she is doing the other ponies a favor by immortalizing them as dolls.
24	* LivingDollCollector
25	* LiterallyShatteredLives: Diamond Tiara.

31	* VillainProtagonist: Twilight.
32	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Twilight, at first.
33	* WhamLine: A minor example in Chapter 4. [[spoiler:All the narrative stated before this was that Twilight grabbed ''an'' appliance, not ''what'' appliance.]]
34	-->After plugging in the appliance, she set down Lyra, Filthy, and Diamond. She then collected the scattered ponies. Twilight levitated the dolls, and set them in a circle around [[spoiler:[[OhCrap the hot plate]]]].
35	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Twilight becomes an alicorn and has to face her immortality and its many downsides.
36	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Twilight.
37	* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Twilight smashing Diamond Tiara (turned into a porcelain doll).]]
