!!Tropes applying to Short Features:

[[folder:Shorts]]
[[AC:Issue #1: How Much Is That Pony In the Window?]]
--> Written and drawn by Katie Cook
Rarity has Pinkie over to help try on a dress, and steps out for a few moments. Pinkie hears the sounds of an ice cream cart and races to it, ruining the dress by the time she gets there, and tries to play it off when Rarity returns.

* IdeaBulb: Well, idea ''candle''.
* MindControlEyes: Pinkie Pie when the jingle of an ice cream wagon distracts her from modelling for Rarity.
* TemptingFate: "Its not like I'm going to get in trouble in the three seconds she's gone." Says the pony best known for being [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny easily distracted]].

[[AC:Issue #4: In the Interim...]]
--> Written and drawn by Katie Cook
Spike, left behind in Ponyville, has tried contacting Princess Celestia via his dragon breath messaging system with no luck, and travels to Canterlot, only to find it under attack by giant flying cockatrices. Celestia grabs Spike in time, and as Spike rattles off the troubles the Mane 6 are going under, the two work together to defend Canterlot from it. With the threat over, Celestia awards Spike a medal for his help before they depart to meet up with the Mane 6.

* AdaptationalBadass: Epic battle-damaged, trident-wielding '''Spike''' riding Celestia in the middle of the fight against the giant Cockatrice attack. And he ends up saving everyone!
* CallBack: Canterlot is protected by a force field as it was in "A Canterlot Wedding", though Shining Armor doesn't otherwise appear.
* EyepatchAfterTimeSkip: Spike has acquired one for some reason, even though both his eyes clearly work fine in the last panel. Perhaps he just felt [[RuleOfCool it looked cool]].
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: The giant mutant cockatrices who attack Canterlot don't seem to be able to turn anypony to stone.
* LowerDeckEpisode: Focusing on Spike and Celestia.
* SynchronousEpisodes: With issues #2 through #4 of the series.

[[AC:Issue #10: A Page from the Scrapbook of Big Mac]]
--> Written and drawn by Katie Cook
A two page spread showing various scenes in the aftermath of the Big Mac (#9-10) arc.

[[AC:Issue #11: Oubliettes and Ogres]]
--> Written and drawn by Katie Cook
A short showing Shining Armor, Poindexter, 8-Bit, and Gaffer playing their role-playing game, ''Oubliettes and Ogres''.


[[AC:Issue #12: PTV]]
--> Written and drawn by Katie Cook
A two page spread poking fun at {{Creator/MTV}}, back when they actually ran music videos in the 1980s.

[[AC:Issue #17: How Star Swirl Got His Hat]]
--> Written and drawn by Katie Cook
We are shown how Star Swirl got his hat - sans bells - by a series of random events, starting with the original milliner throwing the hat out because it was a terrible hat.

* CreatorCameo: Katie and Andy's pony characters appear in one panel. Another panel [[https://twitter.com/katiecandraw/status/447381353542455296 features]] Katie's two children (as ponies), and her husband Ryan (still as a donkey, from the first issue).
* MonochromePast: This comic is all black line art, as it presumably takes place before the flashback events in issue #17.
* RandomEventsPlot: The hat goes through a number of situations created by happenstance before it falls into Star Swirl's hooves.
* ShapedLikeItself: In Star Swirl's words: ''This is the hattiest hat to ever hat"

[[AC:Issue #18: How Star Swirl Got His Hat... the other story]]
--> Written and drawn by Katie Cook

We are shown another version of Star Swirl getting his hat, as Star Swirl searches the ocean for a powerful hat, and finds it in the belly of a whale.

* MonochromePast: This comic is all black line art, also like the first story.
%%* SwallowedWhole

[[AC:Issue #19: How Star Swirl Got His Hat... yet another version of the same story]]
--> Written and drawn by Katie Cook

Yet another version of how Star Swirl got his hat, this based on following in the merch of the "Wilhelm the Wacky Wizard" doll he loved as a foal.

* ArtShift: Most of the story is in the MonochromePast black line art of the first two Star Swirl stories, but the final two panels featuring the Mirrorverse Mane 6 is in full color.
* MirrorUniverse: The short takes place by the alternate Mane 6, which has been hinted at by the main story for the Reflections arc. Notable differences here include that Twilight's cutie mark is one that looks like an atom rather than magic (and she remains a unicorn), Pinkie has long, straight hair and is happily enjoying a healthy salad, AJ wears a black hat and bandana, and Rarity has a huge curly perm instead of her normal trim curls.
* SelfDeprecation: The book that Twilight is reading appears to be authored by "Katie Cook". Real-life Katie has been humorously vocal about the various levels of fan mail she has gotten when she had broken people's headcanon with how she develops back stories, as happens here.

[[AC:Issue #20: Elsewhere in alternate Equestria...]]
--> Written and drawn by Katie Cook

The mirrorverse Mane 6 feel the results of Sombra absorbing the evil energy in his universe, which results in them acting like the Prime-Equestria Mane 6.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The Mirror Mane Six have committed forgery, smuggling, and a large number of FelonyMisdemeanor crimes.
* BeardOfEvil: Mirror Tank has a mustache and a goatee.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Save for smuggling and forgery, these make up the LongList of the Mirrorverse Mane Six's crimes.
* LampshadeHanging: Mirror Pinkie lampshades how they didn't show up in the main story.
* LongList: The WantedPoster in the corner has one of the Mirror Mane Six's crimes, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking serious and not]] [[FelonyMisdemeanor so serious]].
* WantedPoster: We get to see the Mirror Mane Six's in the corner, giving a LongList of their crimes.

Not just about finales, must explain how Grand (goes out of the way to give story closure and epicness).


* GrandFinale: #102 is the finale of the comic series and the definitive end of the main G4 as a solo series. [[note]]The TV series ended in 2019, as did ''Equestria Girls'' which [[NoEnding never really had a conclusion]], and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyPonyLife'' is more an AlternateContinuity spin-off acting as a buffer before G5 hits.[[/note]]

Only applies to the one arc means it goes under that ones recap.

This causes them to realize that the Muffletta Moss can't neutralize genuine laughter.
