* SelfReferentialHumor: The story is named for a tendency among brony fanfic writers to resort to unneccesary descriptions if they think they're using a character's name too often (ie, "the lavender unicorn", "the cyan pegasus"). As such, Rarity is consistently and conspicuously called by name in the narration in the first chapter, but only as "the lavender unicorn" after her transformation.

Simplify for non-fans, because most people who read this page won\'t be fans of the show. Pony-fied versions of words such as \"someone\" and \"everybody\" may be fine for MLP fan sites, but are inappropriate for general interest sites such as TV Tropes. General cleanup.

''Lavender Unicorn Syndrome'' is a rather...unique ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfiction by one Shalaroth.
It's a beautiful day in Ponyville. The sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing gaily, nary a drop of rain to be found anywhere. Everything is as it should be.
...except that everypony and their grandmothers are all turning into Twilight Sparkle.
Yes, a terrible affliction has befallen all of Equestria. What starts off as a series of pains and symptoms eventually transforms all those afflicted into everyone's favorite lavender unicorn. And they have to find a way to reverse this malady before the real Twilight Sparkle kills them all!
