- Dead Fic: The story has not been updated since 2013.
- House Fire: The cliffhanger at the end of chapter two.

- Sarcastic Confession: Rarity pulls one of these on herself.“I’m sure that he’s gone from designing air yachts and racing ships for the idle rich to developing some top secret invention upon which the fate of the entire nation rests, which he cannot disclose to me on account of its classified nature.” Yes he has..
- Sub Story: We haven't actually got to the sub yet, but based on the cover art it plays a major role.
