2
3	Pinkie Pie is minding Sugar Cube Corner one slow day when an... unusual customer answering to the name [[AC:Bill Door]] arrives. It seems Mr. Door was an old friend of Pinkie's grandfather, and he has an unusual job offer for Pinkie Pie...
4
5	Yes, Pinkie Pie becomes the new steed of Discworld's Death, on a part-time basis at least. But after a bit of a mix-up with the Rite of Ashk'Ente being cast on two planes at once, Pinkie Pie is stuck on the Discworld doing [[AC: The Duty]], and Death is stuck in Equestria in his guise of Bill Door. On top of all that, it seems Pinkie's antics have inspired a zombie to start a new religion...

8	----
9	!!Contains examples of:
10	* AsYouKnow: Lampshaded in chapter 12.
11	-->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' ...Given you knew I already knew all that, why did you bother repeating it?\
12	'''Bill Door:''' I have noticed you do it quite often to your friends and assumed this was a customary form of conversation amongst you ponies.
13	* BlackCloak: Pinkie reluctantly dons one when she takes on Death's duties after being told they don't come in pink.
14	** Rarity also displays some fascination in Death's own due to its unique fabric.
15	* CassandraTruth: The rumor that Bill Door is an extra-dimensional creature that collects souls and has replaced Pinkie Pie as a result of a mystic pact is generally dismissed as absurd.
16	* DeathsHourglass: A recurring motif between chapters. When Pinkie takes on [[AC: The Duty]], her own takes the form of a slowly-deflating balloon in Gothic Pink.
17	* EnemyWithout: [[spoiler: The Cult of the Pink Pony of Death causes Pinkie to split into an actual goddess and Death. Pinkie!Death, unfortunately, is a slave of the Auditors.]]
18	* FlatWhat: Gustav Gutsworth's reaction to being greeted on "the other side" by Pinkie Pie.
19	* AGodAmI: [[spoiler: Pinkie manifesting in front of a temple full of her worshippers leads to official apotheosis. Unfortunately, it also leads to Goddess!Pinkie and Death!Pinkie becoming [[LiteralSplitPersonality two separate entities]].]]
20	* GodGuise: Pinkie Pie accidentally inspires people to worship her as "The Pink Pony of Death", after a zombie came back from the dead and saw Pinkie accompanying Death.
21	* LoveAtFirstSight: As of "A Party in the Unseen University", Bill Door realizes this has happened to him in regards to Fluttershy.
22	* MercyKill: Grand Hostess Aminata murders the wizard Keksy as a reward for his services, viewing his premature death as a way of reaching the big afterlife party earlier. Pinkie does not approve of this.
23	* NotWhatItLooksLike: Between "Bill Door" and Fluttershy.
24	* OhCrap: A reoccuring reaction gag throughout the story is various characters saying a quiet "oh bugger" or variations thereof.
25	** Bill Door's reaction to finding he's been transported back to Equestria, and Albert's reaction to Pinkie Pie ending up in his place, in chapter 3.
26	** The Auditors in chapter 9, on realizing [[spoiler: Pinkie's ascension to goddess-hood places her outside their jurisdiction.]]
27	** The Auditors do this a final time [[spoiler:right before vanishing]].
28	** Bill Door again in chapter 16 after realizing that [[spoiler:he's fallen in love with Fluttershy]].
29	* PlotTriggeringDeath: The death of [[TitleDrop Binky Pie]], Pinkie's grandfather and Death's steed, is what begins the story.
30	* PosthumousCharacter: Pinkie's grandfather, Binky, appears in a lengthy flashback in the prologue, but is dead by the time the story begins.
31	* ShoutOut: A few nods to ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy''; it's noted in chapter 9 that every society in the multiverse has developed a drink with a name similar to "gin and tonic", and in chapter 10 there's mention of a man making a mountain invisible with a fleet of intergalactic trucks.
32	* TomeOfEldritchLore: The ''Neighcronomicon'', also known as the ''Necroponicon'', Equestria's answer to Discworld's ''Necrotelecomnicon''. It also showed up of its own accord in the Ponyville Library, much to Twilight Sparkle's horror.
33	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Death!Pinkie, who is totally unable to deal with [[AC: The Duty]] and her lingering mortal conscience, gets prodded by the Auditors to become one of these.]]
