All-American Girl (fanfic)

All-American Girl by Shinzakura is a My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic fanfic.

Daisy Jo Martinez is married to a US Navy officer, has two kids, is Catholic, Republican and proud to be American.

She's also a pony.

This is, at least initially, her story, but things become much more complicated fast.

See also the Sidestories, which fill in several tangential gaps.


 * Alternate History: The underlying world is different even before First Contact:
 * 9/11 never happened.
 * Bin Laden is not a terrorist.
 * Eriteria, Ethiopia and Somalia were failed states that got merged into one, which didn't do much better.
 * Believing Their Own Lies:
 * Cain and Abel: DJ and Minty.
 * Celebrity Paradox: While My Little Pony exists, FIM apparently doesn't.
 * Do Not Call Me Paul: DJ doesn't like her birth name, Sandalwood.
 * Embarrassing Middle Name: DJ's is "Hikaru".
 * Future Slang: By implication. Early 21st century slang is considered out of date.
 * Generation Xerox: Cinnamon, Fluttershy's adopted daughter, is painfully like how her mother used to be.
 * Worse: Pinkie's twin children, Bubble Berry and Surprise - they're like Pinkie, but in STEREO.
 * Genre Shift: The first chapter involves DJ retelling her life story. The second chapter, however, moves clearly into the thriller domain.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: DJ and Mike's children. Lyra and Paul's too.
 * Happily Adopted: DJ.
 * NGO Superpower: The Republic of Pirates is a much more potent military force than the Real Life Somali pirates ever were.
 * Twenty Minutes Into the Future: It's the 2040s.
