All-American Girl (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.

Tropes used in All-American Girl (fanfic) include:

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: DJ has a mild case of this, explicitly distinguished In-Universe from Doublethink.
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 Early 21st century slang is considered out of date.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.
