''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7562952/1/Night_of_the_Shy_Revamp Night of the Shy]'' is a ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' fanfic that takes the [[Word of God]] that Princess Luna was corrupted into Nightmare Moon not just by jealousy but by evil magic, and runs with it.
The plot begins as Ponyville prepares to once again host the Summer Sun Celebration (the one-year anniversary of the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
Now, Twilight must face her new destiny, and the surviving ponies must find a way to stop their friend... perhaps at the ultimate cost.
{{tropelist}}
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: Nightmare starts off her war by attacking (and ultimately destroying) Ponyville, followed by having her Diamond Dog armies assault Canterlot {{spoiler|and eventually overrun it}}.
* [[Anyone Can Die|Anypony Can Die]]: That's been made ''very'' clear.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: When we see him in action, it becomes clear that General Spur didn't get his job just because of his friendship with the Princesses.
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: General Spur and Colonel Nuntia during the Battle of Canterlot.
* [[Bad Dreams]]: Pinkie has a rather disturbing one in chapter 6, complete with [[Catapult Nightmare]].
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Nightmare is good at performing these -- first, she uses the Mane Cast's pets as bait to lure Fluttershy into the Everfree Forest so she can possess her; then she tortures Spitfire in order to anger Rainbow Dash into attacking her {{spoiler|so she can kill her}}; and finally, during her fight with Luna, she lures her into the Forest {{spoiler|where she's rendered powerless, and killed by the cockatrices.}}
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Pinkie kills a Nightmare spy by ''breaking its neck with a single kick.'' (The fact that it was a zombie probably helped with that, but still...)
{{quote|
* [[Big Bad]]: Nightmare.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Fluttershy, of all ponies, gets this when she saves Applejack and Rainbow Dash from a "werebunny" (actually Nightmare in disguise as a test); first, after flying away in fear, she comes back so fast she breaks the sound barrier -- actually managing to perform a Sonic Rainboom in the process -- before performing The Stare.
Line 55:
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: When Rarity starts showing an interest in Blueblood again (thanks to his [[Character Development]]) and Spike gets jealous about it, the two have a discussion about it; Spike admits to knowing he and Rarity can't be together for the [[May-December Romance|obvious]] [[Interspecies Romance|reasons]], and says that he's happy as long as Rarity's happy.
* [[Jaw Drop]]: Rarity and Spike's reaction to meeting the new and improved Trixie.
* [[Jerkass Realization]]: Apparently happened to Prince Blueblood and Trixie as a result of [[Break the Haughty|what they went through]] in their [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
** Gilda had a partial one after her [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[Just Toying with Them]]: In canon it was already established that Discord was just playing with the Mane Cast. Twilight's conversation with Luna reveals this was taken to a greater extent than we believed.
** They also discuss the possibility that Nightmare Moon was also playing with them due to not viewing them as a threat. For her part, Nightmare claims that she threw the fight because she wanted out of Luna's head.
