** ''Grayscale'' has the scenario play out as usual... but all the ponies have the same characterization as the show, including/especially Princess Celestia, who does not have any control over the barrier and does make the process entirely voluntary. The Equestrians themselves are divided into those who believe they're committing genocide and those who believe they should save as many people as possible. It's mentioned that while the Human Liberation Front attacks the bureaus, so do ponies. The Mane Six nearly [[BreakingTheFellowship broke up when they disagreed about the process was right or not]]. Pinkie Pie did go insane and is in an asylum. The ponies who work at the centers themselves [[DespairEventHorizon burnout mentally]], and the readers see what happens as a pony doctor goes insane and tries to kill her coworkers, as well and being driven to despair and begging for someone to kill her.

** The universe presented in ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/359324/conversion-zebra Conversion Zebra]]'' is a unique twist on it: it's a deconstruction of ''both'' the common types while reconstructing the ''setting''. Namely in this universe, the issue really ''is'' a natural disaster no one has any control over, and the common portrayals of the setting are believed to be true by some on both sides, but those assumptions are wrong and the consequences of people believing they are are explored. As a result, New Foals get treated with FantasticRacism by both sides, [[EvilVsEvil the PER and HLF are]] ''both'' [[KnightTemplar extremist lunatics who grossly misunderstand the issue and cause more harm than good]], and the attempts by some bits of humanity to 'save' the human race amount to trying to kill genuinely good people who are trying to do whatever they can to save another race from something neither side can control. One instance is the PER converting a human... who was going to convert ''anyway'', but into a different creature who is now trapped as a creature they didn't ''want'' to be.

* GlamourFailure: In some fics there exists an extremely rare variety of potion that can transform a human physically into a pony while letting them retain a completely human mind. Such ponies are almost completely undetectable... but in ''Terminal Leave'' Celestia notes that there's always a [[UncannyValley hardness in their eyes, "like an adult who was never hugged as a child."]]

While the majority of ponykind does seem to pity humanity, it's more because of the latter losing their world than racism. Even the HLF is less aggressive than usual, preferring protests and rhetoric to open war.

** This was attempted in ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/359324/conversion-zebra Conversion Zebra]]'' and its sequel, but with two major differences: one, the attempted nuking is by KnightTemplar types who deeply misunderstand the situation (as a {{Reconstruction}}, the ponies are genuinely benevolent and are completely on humanity's side in the crisis), and two...the Veil is ''not'' a physical barrier so the nuke just goes right through it. However, Celestia, [[ThePowerOfTheSun having domain over the sun and thus nuclear fusion]], is immune to radiation and just absorbs it to prevent damage.

** ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/359324/conversion-zebra Conversion Zebra]]'' is one intended to present the setting in a world where the ponies are much closer to their show selves (with a ReasonableAuthorityFigure Celestia who has no intentions of conquest in any form) and the Veil is ''genuinely'' a force of existence neither side can do anything about. Ponification is genuinely a last resort to save humanity from the Veil that decidedly does not cause a DeathOfPersonality and the ponies themselves for the most part aren't forcing it on anyone. The HLF ''[[EvilVsEvil and]]'' PER are both presented as [[KnightTemplar equally bad extremist groups]] who are both WrongGenreSavvy about the situation. The mirror portal to the Equestria Girls verse is also mentioned as a potential solution for humans who wish to return to being human after all is said and done if they so choose, and human technology is being preserved. The main protagonist is a newfoal zebra trying to adjust to his new life and being fed up with the FantasticRacism he sometimes gets from ''both'' sides who don't truly understand the situation.

** The hypothetical planet killing nuclear device in "Ten Minutes: Aftermath" was found to have a mass of '''43.6 teragrams (36e+10 kilograms)''' or about 119 times the mass of the Empire State Building. It's specifically stated to be made of cesium and promethium. The picture drawn of the device shows it to be approximately the same size as the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima, which weighed a mere 4,400 kg. Even assuming the entire planet buster was filled with promethium at 7.26 grams/cubic cm, that still only comes out to a weight of 8639.4 kg. And for the bomb to weigh that much with the given dimensions, the filling of the bomb would have to have a density of 302,521 kg/cubic cm...which is about the same density as a white dwarf.

Because this series tends to arouse [[LoveItOrHateIt strong]] [[InternetBackdraft emotions]], ''especially'' the stories written by [[Creator/JenniferDianeReitz Chatoyance]], please keep RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement in mind. To add a bit of perspective to that, ''A New Age'' is the only fic listed above with its own page that is not a HateFic. Seriously, tread carefully.

** The ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/301668/negotiations Negotiations Verse]]'' centers on Twilight Sparkle, the only living Alicorn princess, realizing overtime the atrocities of ponification. It also gives Celestia a very plausible motivation for her actions, though it's also made clear that her mistakes and shortsightedness have made her irredeemable.
** The universe presented in ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/359324/conversion-zebra Conversion Zebra]]'' is a unique twist on it: it's a deconstruction of ''both'' the common types while reconstructing the ''setting''. Namely in this universe, the issue really ''is'' a natural disaster no one has any control over, and the common portrayals of the setting are believed to be true by some on both sides, but those assumptions are wrong and the consequences of people believing they are are explored. As a result, New Foals get treated with FantasticRacism by both sides, [[EvilVsEvil the PER and HLF are]] ''both'' [[KnightTemplar extremist lunatics who grossly misunderstand the issue and cause more harm than good]], and the attempts by some bits of humanity to 'save' the human race amount to trying to kill genuinely good people who are trying to do whatever they can to save another race from something neither side can control. One instance is the PER converting a human...who was going to convert ''anyway'', but into a different creature who is now trapped as a creature they didn't ''want'' to be.

* ElephantInTheLivingRoom: Many TCB fics see humanity as inferior and call ponyhood morally superior while conveniently ignoring the fact that canonical pony jerks do exist, like Trixie, the Flim-Flam Brothers, snooty Canterlot nobles like Prince Blueblood, bullies like Diamond Tiara and Rainbow Dash's Cloudsdale bullies, historical figures like Princess Platinum, Commander Hurricane, and Chancellor Puddinghead, and straight up villainous tyrants like King Sombra. The stories that paint Equestria up as a paradise also tend to ignore the existence of hostile native Equestrian races like Diamond Dogs, Changelings, and dragons, as well as what these other native species (like the griffons, buffaloes, donkeys/mules, zebras and others) would think of an entire species being converted into ponies.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: In ''Last Man Standing,'' Celestia confirms the suspicions of many in a conversation with the last remaining human: she DID invade Earth deliberately. However, she points out that due to the merging of the worlds, either Equestria or Earth was going to be destroyed no matter what; she simply chose to try and save her subjects.
* IdiotBall: ''An Azure Future,'' in spades. After an entire story of wanting to remain human and not undergo conversion, the protagonist pulls a complete ideological 180, joins up with a terrorist organization and helps them successfully carpet-bomb a human settlement, then gases a cop whose only mistake was trying to give him a speeding ticket. Making the whole matter worse, the only reason he decided to help the terrorists was so they would convert him in exchange - something that is their ''entire purpose'' to do anyway. Not to mention he could've walked into any of a dozen nearby Conversion Bureaus and had the process done legitimately by trained professionals at any time. He receives nothing worse than mild disappointment from Celestia for the whole thing.

** ''Fanfic/ProjectSunflower'' also takes certain conventions of TCB while using them for less sinister purposes. Earth ''is'' under attack, but this alien threat is not of an Equestrian origin. The protagonist does turn herself into a pony out of her own free will and doesn't suffer any kinds of dramatic personality changes, and while things like converting the human race or a full military takeover are brought up, those options are automatically rejected. And once the ponies learn of humanity's plight, they immediately get to helping the humans save their world.
