History FanFic / TealovesSteamyAdventure

* RantInducingSlight: While in Big Jim's captivity, Tealove endures being treated like a toy for several hours. What finally makes her snap at Big Jim is the bad tea he serves at the tea party.

* SpotOfTea: As you might guess from her name, Tealove really loves tea. The entire plot kicks off when she recommends a specific tea blend to help Pinkie Pie feel better. At several points later in the story, she deals with stress by brewing a pot.

* TheCameo: Very briefly, with no explanation and no comment from the other characters, WebAnimation/Snowdrop2013 replaces Snowcatcher during the tea party.

-->''Wow.'' said Skylark.  ''Anypony think we've seen the last of [the cultist]?''\\

-->“You monster!" Snowcatcher screamed. "My mane's already fabulous! I don't need your help!"

-->"But what are you really?", asked Tealove. "Are you a ticket that can turn into a pony, or a pony that can turn into a ticket?"\\

Tealove had not in fact heard this. She was a bit skeptical. “Really? If he never leaves anypony alive, how do you know?"\\

-->‘‘Wow.’’ said Skylark.  ‘‘Anypony think we’ve seen the last of [the cultist]?’’\\
‘‘Nah, probably not’’ said Applejack.

-->“You monster!” Snowcatcher screamed. “My mane’s already fabulous! I don’t need your help!”

-->“What is this?” she said, wiping her mouth off.\\
“It’s tea, silly!” Libra took another sip from her own cup.\\
“No, this isn’t! This is a crime against taste. This is an abomination. This is the stuff that tea growers tell campfire horror stories about!” She sniffed her cup, then recoiled. “Oh Celestia, he really did it. He ''reheated cold tea.''”

-->"But what are you really?", asked Tealove. "Are you a ticket that can turn into a pony, or a pony that can turn into a ticket?"\\

-->“Oaf? Oh, you mean the cave troll?” the white pony said. “Big Jim isn’t an oaf! He’s a real sweetheart. You just have to try to understand him.”\\
“GRUUUUUUUUUH,” Big Jim said. He scratched his armpit.\\
“Okay,” Tealove said. “Help us understand him. What did he just say?”\\
The white pony thought carefully, then answered, “He said, ‘Gruh.’”

-->‘‘Pear-fect!’’ said Snowcatcher, looking very pleased at her pun.\\
‘‘''Pear-fect?''’’ snarked Libra. ‘‘[[LamePunReaction Princess prancing Celestia, way to kill the mood Snowcatcher.]]’’

-->[Pinkie Pie said,] “Don’t you know that the Eight Sea is patrolled by the Dread Pirate Pipsqueak? He never leaves anypony alive!”\\
Tealove had not in fact heard this. She was a bit skeptical. “Really? If he never leaves anypony alive, how do you know?”\\
“Because he told me! Duh!”

* WhenTreesAttack: The cultist's final, GiantMook is a mobile pear tree. “Cower! And dis’ pear!”

* ContinuityNod: Even though continuity ''within'' this story has more holes than a colander, three different authors reference the events of ''{{Derailed}}'', establishing that this is a sequel. Vinyl Scratch mentions that her prior roommate, Octavia, moved into the Royal Castle at Canterlot, while Big Mac and Applejack mention the aliens that attacked Sweet Apple Acres.

* DescriptionInTheMirror: Subverted. Tealove looks in the mirror, and there's a paragraph-long description of the pony looking back at her, followed by: "In short, it looked nothing like her."

* [[ArtificialHuman Artificial Pony]]: Apple Bloom is a "failed science experiment".

* NonindicativeName: The story itself. In spite of promising "Steamy Adventure", this is Insaneponyauthor's ''tamest'' story to date, and the only one to get an "everyone" rating on Fimfic.

A ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' RoundRobin fanfic by Creator/{{Insaneponyauthor}}.

* SpeaksInShoutouts: Apple Bloom is a "failed science experiment" who communicates entirely through song lyrics. She quotes Music/TheBeatles, Music/{{Chumbawamba}}, Thomas Dolby, ''The Transformers: The Movie'' soundtrack, and Music/{{REM}} in rapid succession.
