History FanFic / TheSunAndMoonAreHarshMistresses

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: No male character present in any part of the story, and everypony suffers an AmusingInjury at some point or other.

* HumiliationConga: The entire climax. You see all the tropes bulleted under AmusingInjuries above? Most of those happen in this one scene alone. ''[[UpToEleven And then some.]]''

* PetTheDog: Both sisters indulge in toying with Trixie equally, but while Luna is shown to be the more draconian of the two sisters, Celestia is shown to be more merciful. She comes, alone, on the second day to complement Trixie on her magic abilities, even after defying and squishing them in a laundry wringer. She gives Trixie a heartfelt speech about how she's NotSoDifferent from her sister Luna, and wants to prevent her from going down the same path that her sister did. The following night, she gets Luna to dial it back during Trixie's nightmare to give her a chance to prove she's changed. On top of all that, the sisters' reaction when Trixie decides to take revenge over atonement implies that Celestia honestly believed Trixie would make the right choice.

!!This MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fanfic contains the following tropes:

** [[ExtendableArms Extendable Forelegs]]: The result of Trixie desperately trying to grab onto something al halt herself during the big climax.

* BlackComedy: Has the same focus on {{Slapstick}} and cartoon violence as SombrasGame, but centers on the PluckyComicRelief from ''that'' story being imprisoned, abused, tortured, and humiliated by the two cheerful, sadistic [[RogueProtagonist Rogue Deuteragonists]] with no-one around this time to make them sympathetic by comparison. PlayedForLaughs, naturally.

** At this point, the Humble and Apologetic Trixie has seen the error of her ways and would likely have been far more cooperative with the Princesses, which leads directly to her voluntary internment in SombrasGame.

The 3rd MLP fetish fic by author Pablote, this story serves as a prequel to [[SombrasGame Sombra's Game]], detailing how Trixie ended up in the Princess' dungeon in the first place.

* TrashTheSet: Inverted. Trixie spends her free time setting up an elaborate trap instead of cleaning the palace like she's supposed to. But when she gets whipped around the whole palace on a rope, hitting every painful obstacle on the way, [[RuleOfFunny by some miracle]] she ends up leaving the place ''cleaner'' than when she started. The Princesses confirm that she ''technically'' completed all the chores on the list in the process.

* BlackComedy: Has the same focus on {{Slapstick}} and cartoon violence as SombrasGame, but centers on the PluckyComicRelief from ''that'' story being imprisoned, abused, tortured, and humiliated by the two cheerful, sadistic [[RogueProtagonist Rogue Deuteragonists]] with no BiggerBad this time around to make them sympathetic by comparison. PlayedForLaughs, naturally.

** BalloonBelly: Once in a nightmare, and again when landing mouth-first on the business end of a magically-powered leaf blower.

* DownerEnding: Yes, the Princesses let her go in the end, but not before subjecting her to one last, humiliating, off-screen punishment. They [[KarmaHoudini get virtually no comeuppance]] for everything they put Trixie through, release her back into the world bitter, angry, and not even close to reformed, and despite having all but spelled out her domineering plans for revenge, they don't seem to notice or care at all. As if that wasn't bad enough, her angry rant and the sack of gold she "earns" implies that the end of this story directly precedes [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E5MagicDuel Magic Duel]], which means that Trixie's reign of terror over Ponyville and all its inhabitants, as well as her ending right back up in the dungeons as a result, can all be indirectly traced back to the Princess' careless treatment of her.

** However, since [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E5MagicDuel Magic Duel]] and Sombra's Game are both [[ForegoneConclusion Foregone Conclusions]], this can also be interpreted as a BittersweetEnding instead. See [[YMMV/TheSunAndMoonAreHarshMistresses YMMV]].

* GenreSavvy: The Princesses slap an antimagic collar on Trixie as soon as she shows she's capable of some impressive feats of magic.
* [[HeroAntagonist Hero Antagonists]]: The villainous, amoral Trixie is imprisoned and systematically tortured for the amusement of the fair and virtuous Princesses Celestia and Luna.

* [[HeroAntagonist Hero Antagonists]]: The villainous, amoral Trixie is imprisoned and systematically tortured for the amusement of the fair and virtuous Princesses Celestia and Luna from Sombra's Game.

** WhatADrag: Trixie's complex, carefully-laid trap, involving being pulled, via rope, through a DeathCourse of escalating cartoon violence. She'd intended for the ''Princesses'' to fall victim to it while ''she'' watched and laughed, but, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard alas...]]
