* BaseBreakingCharacter: Some prefer Cynder's new characterization in comparison to how most fics tend to play up her past to {{wangst}}y levels, while others find her {{Jerkass}} demeanor a bit grating.
* HilariousInHindsight: This fanfic deals with Spike striking up a relationship with Ember. If you come from the later seasons of the show, you can be forgiven for mistaking Ember for [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E5GauntletOfFire another dragoness named Ember]].
* MemeticMutation: ''SPIKE! YOU JUST FIRE MAILED [[spoiler:[[ItMakesSenseInContext A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL GUARD!!]]]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the fight scene between the dragons and the Canterlot Royal guard, Spike attempts to help Spyro and the others out, only to be pinned down by one of the royal guard. Being far too weak to escape, Spike does the only other thing he can think of. He builds up his flame, and lets it go in a mighty burst... which ends up fire mailing the royal guard to Celestia. Twilight reacts with the memetic worthy line, which many consider to be [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments the single funniest line in the entire fic.]][[/labelnote]]
