History Fanfic / BrideOfDiscord

* AdaptationDistillation: Certain details in the fanfic aren't seen in the audio version, while other details are given more depth.

** Don't insult Fluttershy. He threatens and attacks his own reflection for doing so. However, this pales into comparison to if you ''threaten to hurt her''. The timberwolves tried that and Discord roars like Godzilla at them before using his magic on them.

* BoyfriendBlockingDad: Discord is one to Screwball by taking an immediate dislike to her love interest, and going as far as to call said love interest's entire species "heartless monsters", which is his own berserk button.

* DaddysGirl: Screwball is clearly her father's daughter, and nowhere is this more clear then when he takes her to a baseball game and she makes it more interesting by making the ball zip around the field on its own. [[spoiler: It's how she gets her cutie mark]].

* HappilyMarried: Fluttershy and Discord.

* HonoraryUncle: The Mane Six's children refer to the other members, their husbands, and The CMC, as their aunts and uncles.

* LastOfTheirKind: [[spoiler: Discords' confides Fluttershy that his parents along with his entire species was wiped out when he was a child in the Hearth's Warming Blizzard. [[AvertedTrope Becoming slowly averted]] in the sequel with Fluttershy and Discords' children: Screwball and Zany possessing their fathers' Chaotic Powers.]]

* NestedStoryReveal: At the end of the ''Daughter Of Discord'' audio drama, it's revealed that [[spoiler: Twilight]] was telling the story to [[spoiler: a slightly older Zany and Applespike as well as her daughter Twinkle and Rarity's youngest daughter Jewel the whole time (the latter two making an EarlyBirdCameo]]).

* RelationshipSabotage: Chrysalis does quite a bit of this in ''Daughter of Discord''. Not only does she have two of her minions pose as Fluttershy and a stallion to make Discord think she was being unfaithful, but she also disguised herself as Fleur and threw herself at Fancy Pants to wreck Rarity's marriage, and took on Twilight's form to break her up with Flash Sentry. While the former was part of her grand scheme, the latter two were ForTheEvulz.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: A rather literal case with Screwball and Dinky, who were not only ''born on the same day'', but met and became friends in the hospital nursery on said day, striking a close friendship to last a lifetime.

LaserGuidedKarma: After bullying Screwball as a foal when Gold Digger grows up he has to work on a rock farm and he gets cut off from the family fortune.

* HistoryRepeats: Just as w

* PapaWolf: Don't threaten Discord's family, Chrysalis found that out the hard way.

** Applejack and Spike adopt two earth ponies, Cinnamon Stick and Cinnamon Roll, thinking it isn't possible for them to have a biological child.

** As stated in the summary, the first story is basically an ''MLP'' version of ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' with the sequel ''Daughter of Discord'' being lightly influenced by ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', with a touch of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2SimbasPride''.

* OverprotectiveDad: Discord is one to Screwball by taking an immediate dislike to her love interest, and going as far as to call said love interest's entire species "heartless monsters", which is his own berserk button.

** ''CMC: The Next Generation'' has Lemon Drop, the adopted son of Lyra and Bon Bon, who is also a case of HasTwoMommies.

* StarCrossedLovers: Screwball and Mothball are this is ''Daughter of Discord''.

* RelationshipSabotage: Chrysalis does quite a bit of this in ''Daughter of Discord''. Not only does she have two of her minions pose as Fluttershy and a stallion to make Discord think she was being unfaithful, but she also disguised herself as Fleur and threw herself at Fancy Pants to wreck Rarity's marriage, and took on Twilight's form to break her up with Flash Sentry. While the former was part of her grand scheme, the latter two were ForTheEvilz.

* ManaBear: When Filthy Rich calls Screwball a demon child after the incident between her and his son, Fluttershy slaps him across the face.

* HairTriggerTemper: Discord has one. Apparently it's so bad, Fluttershy feels the need keep a bucket of water around their home, so he doesn't burn it down through fury.
