8!!This fanfic contains examples of:
9* AlternateUniverseFic:
10* TheBadGuyWins: This is a regular part of Jack's backstory, and still applies if you consider him the "bad guy".
11* BerserkButton: Don't screw with Rainbow Dash's friends. Or Jack's, for that matter.
12* BrandX: Averted almost flagrantly; Jack's weapons, cars and technology are all based in the real world (and, between Walther P99s and Aston Martins, frequently ShoutOut to Film/JamesBond). Even Jack's musical taste is real: it includes Music/LacunaCoil, {{Music/Lecrae}} and {{Music/Red|Band}} among others.
13* BreakingSpeech: More than a few in the second story; it's centered around Discord, so what'd you expect?
14* {{Crossover}}: Of the massive variety in ''Lord and Master'': Nightmare Dash even provided [[AllThereInTheManual an appendix]] immediately after to explain things to non-Whovians.
15* DeconstructionFic: Regarding Mare-Do-Well. ''Turning Trix'' would also deconstruct the real danger behind even comedic enemies like Trixie.
16* DespairEventHorizon: Rainbow Dash hits hers early on, but comes back.
17* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: According to WordOfGod. According to Nightmare Dash, the story has been going on for so long, the earlier chapters no longer reflect his writing skill, and he has considered rewriting them entirely. Especially true of the first chapter, which is a massive backstory dump about the protagonist.
18* EvenEvilHasStandards: Jack West; this is implied to be one of the factors that drives his HeelFaceTurn.
19* GrowingTheBeard: According to WordOfGod, ''Turning Trix'' is this. In addition to a more fluid and descriptive style, it also marked the end of subdivided stories; every one since then has been released as a single chapter.
20* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Jack has been through it, and how. Let's see: he starts as [[EvenEvilHasStandards evil, but with standards]], then has a turn as a good guy, only to appear to backslide in his fight against Trixie, be possessed by [[Series/DoctorWho the Master]] (and later, Sunset Shimmer), go off the moral deep end in his plot to defeat Tirek, and [[spoiler: be corrupted by the Alicorn Amulet on his second trip to Canterlot High]]. You kinda have to feel sorry for the guy.
21* HeelFaceTurn: Jack is trying to do this, but (according to his backstory) has quite a bit of heel to turn from.
22* HeroAntagonist: Technically, in the first story.
23* MusicalEpisode: ''Dazzled''.
24* TheOnlyWayTheyWillLearn: Part of the original Mare-Do-Well story, results are subverted by [[DeconstructionFic deconstruction]].
25* OutGambitted: Jack pulls this on Discord in the climax of ''A Chaotic New World''.
26* RedemptionQuest: Long-term, though later chapters would downplay this.
27* WeUsedToBeFriends: Between Rainbow Dash and the rest of the Mane 6, then fixed as part of the Mare-Do-Well arc.
28* VillainProtagonist: Initially, and still true depending on your opinion of Jack West, especially considering his more recent moral zig-zags.
