History Fanfic / PinkPersonalHellAndAlteringFate

A bizarre mixture -- an ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP]]'' [[FanWorks/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fanfic]] featuring two different narratives, "Pink Personal Hell", an OddCouple story where Pinkie Pie appears to be temporarily living with a human while getting on his nerves, and "Altering Fate", a SliceOfLife story where a blue unicorn named Nickel Steel is being sent to Ponyville to live and his attempts to fit in. At first, it seems almost like the two have nothing to do with each other apart from the presence of ponies but it eventually blends in, explaining just what a "Pink Personal Hell" has in common with ones' fate being altered.

* AccentuateTheNegative: [[spoiler: The mirror acts a little like this - always showing the moments where Dominic was alone.]]
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' break a Pinkie Promise! Even if she doesn’t –have- pinkies!
* BigEater: Full Beats.
* BrickJoke: In one scene, a Prank Bit that bounces away whenever she tries to catch it temporarily distracts Pinkie Pie. Then at the end of the scene, it bounces into the magic shop… followed by Pinkie Pie herself.

* ExtremeDoormat: Dominic shows traces of this - it's implied in the past he had been like this (hiding from everyone else rather than being shoved away) and never does anything about Pinkie Pie (literally!) walking all over him except protest. [[spoiler: Nickel Steel is a little like that as well. He gets better.]]
* FisherKingdom: [[spoiler: Equestria, Pinkie Pie is safe from the other side due to representing an Element of Harmony.]]

* FoodPorn: Dominic describes Pinkie Pie’s delicacies as “Softcore food porn”. Not to mention, the meal of waffles….
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Draco Scales

* HumanFocusedAdaptation: PlayedWith - The ''Pink Personal Hell'' narrative follows a human straight one interacting with a Pony funny-one, but ''Altering Fate'' is all about ponies.
* HumansThroughAlienEyes: Pinkie Pie refers to humans as “Minotaurs” and finds TV amusing.
* IChooseToStay: [[spoiler: Dominic decides to stay as Nickel steel]].
* IdiotBall: Yes, Dominic, great idea to try to wash flour off with WATER.

* PaintingTheMedium: Written in one big part, the "Pink Personal Hell" line is separated from the "Altering Fate" line by having the names of the lines bolded at the start of the scene(s). When [[spoiler: Dominic goes to Equestria, rather than jumping to "Altering Fate", it jumps to "Pink Personal Hell ''and'' Altering Fate]]

* RuleOfFunny: This is ''Pinkie Pie'' we're talking about! Apparently, being nearby her also allows you to break the laws of physics.
** It’s also implied Luna has a sense of humour and likes to correct people by using her royal voice..just because she finds it funny.
** Plus, the “Pink Personal Hell” was called this simply because Pinkie Pie would move a little too fast for most people – and subsequently drive them crazy!
* RunningGag: Full Beats eating large amounts of food or stealing it when people aren’t looking.

* SequelHook: [[spoiler: Implied at the end that there will be future adventures in Ponyville, as well as relief that the mirror was not discovered by someone else who did not have interests as altruistic as the princesses.]]
** There is a prequel to this story, ''The Altered Fate of Draco Scales''
** While not entirely a sequel, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9437231/1/ "Burned Bridges"]] takes place in the same version of Ponyville. However it is very loosely connected to ''Pink Personal Hell''.
* ShapeShifting: Draco Scales, who apparently is able to [[ScaledUp turn into a dragon.]] It's not technically explained how it is possible for him to do so, but the above mentioned prequel explains it.

* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: [[spoiler:Dominic is Nickel Steel.]]
* TitleDrop: Near the end. See PaintingTheMedium

Originally written for entertainment with his friends, it gained a prequel in the form of ''TheAlteredFateOfDracoScales'', detailing on the story of one character.

!!''Pink Personal Hell And Altering Fate'' provides examples of:

* UnreliableNarrator: Dominic is likely to be one. He describes a group cutting him off and making him do the work, but when he gives the presentation (With an alligator stuck to his finger) they don't seem to be reacting with hatred. In fact, his exile is "self-imposed", implying that Dominic's problems were more from him just being an ExtremeDoormat.
