[[spoiler:She is Queen Faust's Swordbearer... the Megan.]]


Added DiffLines:

* DarkerAndEdgier: As the only story in the series thus far to get a Mature rating, it's to be expected. The descriptions of combat are far more visceral in this than in other works in the series.
* RapePillageAndBurn: The remnants of Tirek's army are big fans of this.


Added DiffLines:

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: Implied by a captured Covenant pony in the first chapter. Apparently there's a ''lot'' of ponies in Equestria that aren't happy with how the alicorns are running things, and the Covenant has been all too eager to recruit them.

Added DiffLines:

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: True to form for the series, characters in the show introduced here are very different from their canon counterparts.
** Troubleshoes Clyde is just a clumsy guy with aspirations to join the rodeo in the show, but here he's a mechanic and a former Navy SEAL with a troubled past. He also has a daughter, Tirespin, with whom his relationship is rocky.
** Withers is just another of Dr. Caballeron's henchponies with minimal development in the show. In the Fixer, he's TheSociopath and a StalkerWithACrush.


Added DiffLines:

* TheSociopath: Withers. His POV scene reveals that he doesn't feel emotions like happy or sad, and had to practice smiling in front of a mirror in order to make it look natural.
* StalkerWithACrush: Withers seems to have developed a creepy obsession with Troubleshoes. The fact that his employer has him conducting surveillance on Troubleshoes is a bonus to him.

Added DiffLines:

* TheCasanova: Sable Loam's coworker Red Horse is a notorious womanizer, as Sable himself notes, and she admits to "creeping on" some of the photos on former Principal Celestia's [=MyStable=] page.
* PapaWolf: They may be somewhat estranged, but ''nobody'' messes with Troubleshoes' daughter.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Attempted but ultimately subverted - Tirespin, one of the students at the Equestria County Alternative High School for At-Risk Students, spends the first two chapters heavily flirting with Sable Loam. Being faithful to his girlfriend (and even if he were single, he wouldn't be interested), he turns Tirespin down. Repeatedly. It takes her seeing him kissing Celestia on the way in to work for her to take the hint.

* ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/453663/the-fixer The Fixer]]'': Sable Loam's got issues. Between his new job as Admiral of Sunset's fledgling guard force and his existing job at Equestria County Alternative High, he hardly has any time for a personal life. To top it off, he's just met Troubleshoes Clyde, a talented mechanic and former Navy SEAL... and a bad-luck magnet. Still, Sable thinks he could be a valuable asset to the team, if only they could figure out a solution to his problems without launching themselves into another war.

*** CrossCulturalKerfluffle: All he seems to focus on is his wanting to marry one of the girls and setting his sights most on Human!Octavia despite her being underaged. Not helping is Human!Octavia clashing back in the same vane when her TakeThat is seen as a threat simply because of the way she smiled back while doing it.
** The kitsune Kashingo has her honor and literal name stripped of her. After being taken in by Sunset though, she decides to rename herself [[DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch Whiskey Tango Foxtrot]].

* CultureClash: Not just between the humans and the ponies, but also other species from the world coming to view Sunset's coronation.
** All the ponies seem to be weary of the humans just based on the fact that they're much taller than them and most other species. Principal Celestia being taller than the pony version causes even the latter to pause in realization.
** The kitsune prince Fujitsu comes in full force.

* AlternateSelf: Sunset's family and (most of) her friends finally get to meet their pony counterparts.




to:

* OtherMeAnnoysMe: To varying degrees: some actually just annoyed, while others are reviled. So far those that don't seem fazed are Celestia, Luna, and Rarity.
** Pony!Rainbow Dash is wondering how her counterpart isn't all over dating her Soarin' while she herself has only dreamed of it.
** Dragon!Spike was already annoyed at how he learned his counterpart isn't a dog, and he can't help but letting him know. Human!Spike however wants to see what it's like being a dragon, with only Sunset's magic stopping him... for now maybe.
** Pony!Fluttershy can't comprehend that despite Human!Fluttershy being quite younger, she barely shows any problems interacting in public. She like the others is also concerned how willing she is to get up close with the ponies considering how small and cute they are to humans.
** While not feeling ill will toward her, Pony!Pinkie Pie has some dread of what she could have been like had she gone through similar events like Human!Pinkie Pie.
** Pony!Twilight cannot fathom how her human self can't seem to grasp at magic.
** Pony!Applejack takes it up to eleven though. Human!Applejack's differences from how she and the other human Apples aren't focused on the farm to even how she doesn't fully have an accent cause her to [[spoiler: invoke disownment, [[NoTrueScotsman saying she's not a real apple]], and going as far as to offhandedly insult her own Aunt and Uncle Orange just because how Human!Applejack turned out to be.]]
