Checker Monarch told Diamond Tiara that she was just like her when she was a foal.

Can Diamond Tiara change her future? Or are Checker Monarch's crimes destined to be repeated again?
!!This ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' FanFic contains examples of the following tropes:
* BiggerBad: Checker Monarch. While she was defeated at the end of the original fic and is currently locked up in an insane asylum, her actions are directly responsible for the events of the story.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The reason becoming a second Checker Monarch frightens Diamond so badly: she cares for her own family and Silver Spoon, and is afraid of becoming someone like Checker who tortures their own family.
* FutureMeScaresMe: The cause of Diamond Tiara's HeelRealization: Checker told her she was just like her as a child, and now Diamond is terrified of becoming another Checker. Shown by Diamond Tiara's nightmare of her adult self at the very beginning of the fic.
* HeelRealization: Played with. Diamond Tiara has had a partial one, now aware that she has the potential to become like Checker Monarch and wanting to change, but not quite comprehending ''why'' bullying the CMC made her like Checker.
* LighterAndSofter: Golden Tiara compared to her ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' self (who she was based off of). According to WordOfGod, while she did go insane in this universe, she never [[spoiler:tried to kill Diamond]] and was cured at some point before the original fic.
* {{Sequel}}: According to WordOfGod, this fic starts chronologically next in line after the original story.
* VillainousBSOD: Diamond Tiara begins the fic in the middle of one. However, she doesn't seem to understand her feelings of guilt just yet.
* WhamLine: Parodied: when Diamond Tiara proclaims she'll no longer bully the CMC, it cuts to Pinkie Pie as her Pinkie Sense goes off.
