History Fanfic / RacerAndTheGeek

%%* ChristmasCake: Rainbow Dash certainly counts, as does Zecora.

* BullyingADragon: Lightning Dust does this to Telny in chapter three. It almost costs her her life.

* ChristmasCake: Rainbow Dash certainly counts, as does Zecora.

* EatingTheEyeCandy: Sunny the first time he meets Rainbow.
* EthicalSlut: Implied to be the norm for ponies.

* LikesOlderWomen: Sunny definitely does this.
* LivingADoubleLife: All gunponies do this. It's a matter of survival.

* LovesMyAlterEgo: A very intersting case, as one alter ego is hated and the other is beloved.

* MyBelovedSmother: Sunny thinks this of his mother.

* OutdoorsyGal: Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash both fit the bill.

* QuitYourWhining: Sunny has an internal version of this when he is running up a mountain.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo have something like this. It's not clear just what its exact nature is.

* {{Jailbait}}: Scootaloo. It's not so much about age as it is about her lack of a Cutie Mark.

* BadDreams: Sunny suffers from these a lot. [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/81159/6/racer-and-the-geek/morning Chapter six gives a glimpse of their content.]]

* BadassAdorable: Gunponies.

* CloudCuckoolander: Pinkie Pie, of course.

* FantasticRacism: Some exists against zebras. It's worse against donkeys and griffons. It should be noted that Equestrian racism is more rooted in cultural xenophobia brought about by insularity rather than malice, giving an interesting result of racism being more like fear born of ignorance than some kind of hatred, for the most part...
** Interestingly, there is severe prejudice against firearms and their users. This makes sense, given that the ponies are by and large peaceful to a fault and herd mentality prevails amongst them.

* GirlNextDoor: Faraday.

* TheIngenue: Scootaloo.

* SharedUniverse: The author worked as an editor on {{Fanfic/Rainbow in the Dark}}, and it's been revelaled that it is possible that {{Fanfic/Rainbow in the Dark}} exists in the same universe, although perhaps not in the same continuity as Racer and the Geek. Small nods, links, and references are present, though [[ShrugOfGod still completely nebulous.]]

* ShellShockedVeteran: [[spoiler: Sunny]].
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Rainbow Dash.

* {{Tomboy}}: Rainbow Dash.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Scootaloo.

* WhamEpisode: [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/81159/6/racer-and-the-geek/morning Chapter six,]] where we finally get see what really happened to Sunny.

* GenreSavvy: Sunny displays limited amounts of this.
* GiveGeeksAChance: Sunny is cynical and GenreSavvy enough to question this coming right out of nowhere.

* ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: The gunpony opinion on bandits and threats. Highly justified.
* ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer: When faced with a threat, gunponies have few issues with using lethal force.

''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/81159/1/racer-and-the-geek/predawn Racer and the Geek]]'' is a romantic story written by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/kalash93 Kalash93.]] As usual for a Kalash93 story, there is a very solid narrative backed up with plenty of character development and world building as well as some surprisingly intelligent social commentary and parallels to the real world.

* BerserkButton: ''Don't'' call Telny a foalkiller, as Lightning Dust finds out.

* SharedUniverse: The author of {{Fanfic/Racer and the Geek}} worked as an editor on {{Fanfic/Rainbow in the Dark}}, and it's been revelaled that it is possible that {{Fanfic/Rainbow in the Dark}} exists in the same universe, although perhaps not in the same continuity as {{Fanfic/Racer and the Geek}}.
