5 | Originally, it's about the ramifications of Celestia discovering she had a child, and [[EasyAmnesia not remembering any of it]]. Unfortunately, things quickly get worse with the death of Twilight Sparkle, the release of Celestia's SuperpoweredEvilSide, and a shadowy figure known only as the Guardian seemingly running things from behind the scenes. |

10 | !!This fanfic contains examples of: |
11 | |
12 | %%* ActionGirl: [[spoiler: Jade/Rarity]] and [[spoiler: Rainbow Dash]], most notably when [[spoiler: Nightmare Moon takes them both to Ponyville]]. |
13 | %%* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: Nightmare Moon.]] |
14 | * ArmourPiercingQuestion: "Sister... did you ever have a filly?" |
15 | %%* ArtifactOfDoom: [[spoiler: The medallions]], which also suffer from a severe case of ClingyMacGuffin. |
16 | %%* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Twilight Sparkle]] ([[spoiler:twice]]) and [[spoiler:Trixie]]. |
17 | %%* BatmanGambit: Several of them layered on top of each other, to the point where it pretty much reaches GambitPileup levels. |
18 | * BecauseDestinySaysSo: [[spoiler: Trixie]]'s [[spoiler: death]] adventure and [[spoiler: revival]] turn out to be pre-destined; she had to [[spoiler: die to travel back in time and help create the Cambro]]. |
19 | %%* BigDamnHeroes: Quite a few times. |
20 | * BlackCloak: Each member of [[spoiler: the Council of Nightmares]] wears one at some point or another. |
21 | %%* BlackComedyRape: Quick! To the mattress fort, [[spoiler:Applejack]]! |
22 | * CerebusSyndrome: WordOfGod says he intended more comedy (and a 6-chapter story). |
23 | %%* ChekhovsGun: ''Way'' too many to count. |
24 | %%* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: Nightmare Moon]] and, to some level, [[spoiler: the Guardian]]. |
25 | %%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler: Paper Craft.]] |
26 | %%* DarkActionGirl: [[spoiler: Twilight Spark.]] |
27 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: Arguably, [[spoiler: Trixie]] fits the letter of the trope better than the [[{{Pun}} spirit]]; [[spoiler: she begins the story dying as a potential antagonist, then becomes one of the lead protagonists]]. |
28 | %%* DeathIsCheap: Unless you're a [[RedShirt background pony]]... |
29 | * TheDragon: Too many to count, though [[spoiler: Twilight Spark, Jade and Spitfire may be the most obvious. And in Spitfire's case, this became more or less ''literal'' as well]]. |
30 | %%* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Bon-Bon.]] |
31 | %%* EarnYourHappyEnding |
32 | %%* EldritchAbomination: The Guardian. |
33 | %%* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler: Twilight Spark.]] |
34 | %%* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Medallion on...]] |
35 | %%** Played straight with [[spoiler: Princess Celestia and Rainbow Dash]] and subverted with [[spoiler: Princess Luna and Twilight Sparkle]]. |
36 | %%* GeometricMagic: In the same room where the [[spoiler: Cambro]] has been for so long. |
37 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Medallion off! Also Twilight Spark, who, when the dust has settled, gets to live as an earth pony named Dawn.]] |
38 | %%* HydePlaysJekyll: [[spoiler: Midnight.]] |
39 | * FunctionalMagic: Both the magic inherent to the universe as well as the [[spoiler:Cambro]] with which [[spoiler: Trixie and Twilight Sparkle are resurrected]]. |
40 | %%* HermeticMagic |
41 | %%* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Lyra.]] |
42 | %%** Let's not forget [[spoiler: Blast]]! |
43 | %%* MagicMusic: [[spoiler: Lyra]] performs one for [[spoiler: Nightmare Flare]]. |
44 | * NeverFoundTheBody: Well, they did find a [[ChekhovsGun horn, but...]] |
45 | ** Well, [[spoiler: there is a body, we just didn't know whose it was at first]]. |
46 | %%* OhCrap: [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle]] at the end of Chapter 17. |
47 | %%* OnlySaneMan: Applejack. |
48 | %%* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler: Spitfire]] quite literally after [[spoiler: Nightmare Flare turns her into a Chimera]]. |
49 | * PurpleProse: The man sure does love his descriptions. Doesn't really detract from the story, fortunately. |
50 | * RagsToRoyalty: [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle]], "Literature/SleepingBeauty" Style. |
51 | %%* RedShirt: Guards through most of the chapters. A funny example is the transition between Chapters 6 and 7. |
52 | %%* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Pretty much [[spoiler: TheManBehindTheMan]] and all its [[spoiler: EliteMooks]]. |
53 | %%* SealedEvilInACan: Among various other things... |
54 | * ShoutOut: ''[[Franchise/DotHack .Hack]]'', other ''MLP'' fanfics, and ''Film/TheSixthSense'', in Chapters 1, 2, and 3 respectively. |
55 | ** In Chapter 17, the Cutie Mark Crusaders get directions from a colt with a big backpack and a black and yellow bandana...and get lost. [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ryoga]] much? Then in chapter 21 the Guardian is hit with a Hiryu Shoten Ha. |
56 | * SpearCarrier: A few guards have done so, when they don't end up [[RedShirt burned to a crisp]]. |
57 | * SuperPoweredEvilSide: A very important trope to this fic...which often ends up being subverted somehow. |
58 | ** [[spoiler: Nightmare Moon]], oddly enough, turns out to be the BigGood of the story. [[spoiler: She even willingly disperses, leaving only Luna, at the end.]] |
59 | ** The resurrected [[spoiler: Twilight Spark]] is another subversion. [[spoiler: [[EvilCounterpart She's a deranged clone]] made with the real Twilight's horn.]] |
60 | %%** The only one played absolutely straight is [[spoiler: Nightmare Flare]]. |
61 | %%* TimeTravel: [[spoiler: Trixie via the Cambro.]] |
62 | %%* TakingYouWithMe: Performed by [[spoiler: Blast]] near the end of Chapter 19. |
63 | %%* TalkingIsAFreeAction: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by [[spoiler: Pinkie Pie inside Luna's mind]] in Chapter 7. |
64 | %%* TheUndead: [[spoiler: Trixie]] and [[spoiler: Midnight]]. |
65 | %%* UnstoppableMailman: |
66 | %%* TheVamp: [[spoiler: Twilight Spark... at least until she discovers her true nature.]] |
