''Beating the Heat'' is another ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' [[Fanfic]] by Andrew J. Talon, he of [[Progress (Fanfic)|Progress]] fame, and co-written by ''[[ARSENAL (Fanfic)|The]] [[The Key to Aa Successful Interview (Fanfic)|Sage]] [[Beautiful Destroyer Sailor Moon (Fanfic)|of]] [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1854667/The_Sage_of_Toads Toads]'' and [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/146434/ Friendly Uncle]. Twilight Sparkle is acting a bit... off, and she's not the only one...
 
It can be found [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7545374/1/Beating_the_Heat here], [http://www.fimfiction.net/story/9329/Beating-the-Heat here], and [http://s4.zetaboards.com/Temple_Of_The_Sage/topic/9204016/1/ here]<ref> Keep in mind the Zetaboards forums version updates more often, albeit in scenes rather than chapters.</ref>. It used to be on Spacebattles before the authors received infractions from the mods. [[Similarly Named Works|Not to be confused with]] SomeGuy's earlier ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' [[Fanfic]] ''[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/08/story-beating-heat.html Beating the Heat]''.
 
=== This fanfic contains the following tropes: ===
Line 45:
* [[Deus Sex Machina]]: The Elements of Harmony are linking the Mane 6 together, Magic is a primal force, and the most basic primal urge is to make '''[[Nobody Dies (Fanfic)|BABIES!!!]]'''
* [[Dirty Old Woman|Dirty Old Mare]]: Granny Smith
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female Onon Male)]]: Despite the above trope, this is averted, as {{spoiler|Fluttershy's}} forcing herself on other stallions is not portrayed as a good thing. In keeping with this, {{spoiler|Rarity}} later on expresses a little guilt about forcing herself on Big Mac.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]:
{{quote| “Con. Found. This. Door!” Rarity snarled as she continued to thrust her glowing horn rhythmically into the vault’s lock. “Open, curse you! Open! Your resistance only makes my horn harder!”}}
Line 75:
"Heeeeeyyyyy!"<br />
"... grass." }}
* [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall]]: Derpy Hooves.
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Dash tries to attack {{spoiler|a magically enhanced Trixie}} several times. {{spoiler|The last time, she gets a concussion.}}
* [[Look Behind You!]]: Frequently employed by the Doctor against Twilight, with varying degrees of success.
Line 82:
* [[Oh Crap]]: The Doctor and Twilight have this reaction when they realize {{spoiler|Luna's snapped.}}
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Spike and Applejack.
* [[Out Withwith a Bang]]: {{spoiler|Fluttershy's}} victims. At least, that's the implication, considering that she still isn't satisfied after ''five consecutive matings'' from a single stallion.
** Also played ''scarily'' straight for a moment in Braeburn's short [[Imagine Spot]] in chapter 11.
* [[Plagiarism in Fiction]]: The Doctor accuses {{spoiler|the Master}} of ripping off his Sonic Screwdriver.
Line 93:
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Braeburn and Pinkie, Whooves and Twilight. Gender-inverted for [[Keet|Soarin']] and [[Only Sane Man|Applejack.]]
* [[Sex Is Violence]]: Big Macintosh and {{spoiler|Rarity, from the sound of things.}}
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Trixie certainly likes the thought of the Doctor and Master getting it on.
{{quote| '''Trixie''': "Whoah...The Great and Powerful Trixie Like."}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Pinkie Pie chasing down Braeburn is very similar to a [[Pepe Le Pew|certain cartoon skunk's modus operandi.]]
Line 103:
*** Mustang quotes [[The Lonely Island]] song "3-Way".
**** Speaking of Mustang, he says the miniskirts line from Full Metal Alchemist.
*** It should also be noted that they have flown air combat over [[Wolfenstein 3D (Video Game)|Wolfenstein]].
** [[Austin Powers|"And... I'm spent."]]
** From Chapter 8:
{{quote| '''Rarity:''' And now she seeks to have all the stallions to herself, and therefore take over the world!<br />
'''Pinkie Pie:''' [[Street Fighter (Filmfilm)|OF COURSE!]] }}
** Chapter 9's Studly Stallion Convention has [[Neil Gaiman|Neigh Gaiman]] and [[Terry Pratchett|Terry Prancechett]]
** Chapter 10 has Spike quote ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' and Rarity quote ''[[Planet of the Apes]].''
** The Studly Stallion convention has shout outs to a lot of things. For example, one of the stallions there is [[Zoolander (Film)|a model named Hansel.]]
*** Another pony there is [[Iron Chef|a Neighponese chef named Kaga judging a cooking contest.]]
** Chapter 13 has Trixie getting soniced and screaming,
Line 117:
* [[Smells Sexy]]: Any filly in heat to a male.
* [[Squick]]: [[In-Universe|AJ's reaction]] to Granny Smith discussing her past.
* [[Stable Time Loop]]: The Doctor is implied to have established this to maintain the events of his appearance in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E12 Call of the Cutie|Call of the Cutie]]. He even got a cold to explain his changed voice. Also functions as a [[Call Back]].
* [[Stealth Pun]]: "Tart" is used as a slang term for a woman who [[Really Gets Around]], like Granny Smith did in her youth. And what is her cutie mark? An apple ''tart''.
* [[Tempting Fate]]:
