A Prequel of sorts to ''Fanfic/PinkPersonalHellAndAlteringFate'' that follows a similar plot, whilst at the same time not being two separate perspectives. It starts when a young human's world is turned upside down when [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicRainbowDash Rainbow Dash]] crashes into his house from seemingly nowhere, and it all goes on from there.

This page is currently a work in progress, so expect Tropes to be added in gradually. You can read the story [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/94281/the-altered-fate-of-draco-scales here]]

!!Tropes:

* AnimalEyes: After his first transformation, Draco's eyes retain their draconic appearance. They also serve as his Cutie Mark.
** SupernaturalGoldEyes: Draco once again.
* AuthorAvatar: Whilst having a different appearance to his real-life counterpart, Peter is based upon himself, down to all his likes and dislikes.
* BerserkButton: Draco's has his pushed a few times:
** When he sees the CMC being bullied. This triggers his first transformation.
** Gilda pulling mean pranks
** Angel disrespecting Fluttershy and pushing her around.
* DespairEventHorizon: The mirror that Peter/Draco finds in chapter five shows him pretty much the low point of his life, and that the events that were displayed showed that he was almost pretty much [[DrivenToSuicide tempted to take his own life]]. This gets [[TearJerker even more painful when you take into account that this stuff really did happen to the author.]]
** Allegedly, the mirror is ''not shy'' to showing this - Nightshade has her own mentioned too.
* DudeNotFunny: In-Universe response to Gilda's pranks.
%%* EmergencyTransformation: Nightshade.
%%* FisherKingdom: Equestria
* GadgeteerGenius: Twilight manages to get a few ideas how a computer works with magic. Potential Magitech down the line?
%%* HumansThroughAlienEyes
* IChooseToStay: Nightshade had in the past, as well as [[spoiler: Draco]]
* ProductPlacement: This was made slightly before the time, but the other card game Peter suggests trying to teach Rainbow Dash is Anime/CardfightVanguard. Bushiroad, the company behind Vanguard, are the distributors of My Little Pony in Japan.
* PunnyName: Casabaleric = Casablanca. Of course!
** Draco claims that he comes from Wiltshire. Whilst there is a Wiltshire in the UK, allow your mind to put it into Pony context.
* RhymesOnADime: Zecora. And just like with Nickel, it's pretty contagious.
* RuleOfFunny: Pinkie Pie's first instinct when there's a flood in Equestria? Get Bubble Bath!
* ScaledUp: Draco turns into a giant dragon when his anger peaks. He soon learns how to change into a smaller (still larger than a pony) form at will.
* SequelHook: Draco Scales namedrops Dominic from ''Pink Personal Hell and Altering Fate''.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: Draco Scales finds out this is his talent.
* Shipping: Between Draco and Fluttershy.
* ShoutOut:
** Nightshade is a shout-out in two ways. First off, her human name is Zoë - a ShoutOut to a character in ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians''. She also mentions things happening to [[VideoGame/DreamfallTheLongestJourney people named Zoë from Casablanca]].
** As with ''Pink Personal Hell and Altering Fate'', the title is a shout out to ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne''. Complete with Peter showing Rainbow Dash an image of something that he claims has a [[AxCrazy Dilandau face.]]
** Rainbow Dash tells Peter of the time when [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen Twilight got so mad she burst into flames]], and Peter responds by saying that [[MemeticMutation evolved into]] [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Rapidash.]] She does it again when Draco brings it up.
* UnusualEuphemism: One instance of Draco suddenly breaking into rhyme is met with him shouting "HOLY FRICKING CELESTIA!"
