History Fanfic / TheBorderworld

* DreamWalker: Luna, of course. ''To Keep the Fire Burning'' also has Sir Black Iron.
* EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: And how!

** That's only the FOURTH paragraph.
* IHaveManyNames: Discord and Order, AKA Loki and Svaðilfari, have a hilariously long list of names that they go by. This is justified as their souls ''are'' immortal, and have been different beings across time and space.

* {{Diary}}: Or rather a journal. According to ''Rest in Chaos'', Discord keeps one in Chaosville, a small realm located between Midgard (above Canterlot) and Muspelheim. Mysteriously, the physical description of the journal is rather plain: "It's small, brown, bound in conjured leather, has a plain cover, and is written in invisible ink." Fittingly, since the fanfic is Discord's will, he leaves it to his closest friend:
--> '''Discord:''' This is for Fluttershy, '''''AND NOBODY ELSE.'''''

* BroadStrokes: ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/189062/discord-end-of-empires Discord: End of Empires]]'' is referenced by later stories and said to have largely happened as shown, but [[spoiler: the dragons never rebuilding their civilization]] is ignored due to being {{jossed}} by ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E5GauntletOfFire Gauntlet of Fire]]''.

Borderworld stories generally focus on adventure and the larger cosmology of the world, particularly the [[OrderVersusChaos Eternal War]] that Discord and several other gods fight in, but they can vary greatly in tone, genre, and scope. The Borderworld also contains stories taking place in alternate timelines and universes, and in the distant future and past. While mostly taking place in the same setting, the vast majority of Borderworld stories can be read as stand-alones.

* {{Multiverse}}: As the show itself showed, the Borderworld-verse is one universe among many different univeses and timelines.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: According to the Borderowld-verse [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/892897/borderworld-lore-snippets snippets]], demons are spiritual parasites that corrupt the soul and brings a physical change on the body. They usually either already existed before, or are born from the host's soul.
** And with that, a chaos demon is one that is born from chaos magic. A chaos demon usually has zero traces of their previous selves left.

The Borderworld is a shared setting of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfiction stories created by [[https://www.fimfiction.net/user/DannyJ DannyJ]]. In the vein of the Fanfic/TriptychContinuum and similar settings, stories in the Borderworld don't generally ''change'' anything from canon, but instead fill in the gaps and build on what canon already established. The setting also notably incorporates many elements from the [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW official IDW comics]] and the rest of MLP:[=FiM's=] [[Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4 expanded universe]]. What is particularly special about it is that they can not only be enjoyed separately as their own, but also as parts of a bigger story.

It takes heavy inspiration from Myth/NorseMythology, with Equestria's world being the Midgard of this setting's own Nine Realms. It is called the Borderworld because of the abundance of portals and gateways to other dimensions that saturate it, and the ease with which pocket dimensions can spring up around it (to the point that the Nine Realms themselves were created by ''accident'').

Borderworld stories generally focus on adventure and the larger cosmology of the world, particularly the [[OrderVersusChaos Eternal War]] that Discord and several other gods fight in, but they can vary greatly in tone, genre, and scope. The Borderworld also contains stories taking place in alternate timelines and universes, and in the distant future and past.

* Myth/NorseMythology: This series takes heavy cues from Norse mythology compared to the shows Greek analogues. The draconequui in particular seem to be very Norse based, as they are the ones who gave many of the Nine Realms their Norse names.
