The Lunaverse, originally by [http://www.fimfiction.net/user/RainbowDoubleDash RainbowDoubleDash] is a series of [[Alternate Universe Fic|Alternate Universe]] fics of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
On the surface, it is a [[Bizarro Universe]]: Celestia grew power-hungry and had to be sealed away by Luna. When she returns, it is up to Trixie and an alternate Mane Six (made up of the regular series background ponies Raindrops, Lyra Heartstrings, Carrot Top, Ditzy Doo [better known as but not [[In
Rainbow Double Dash has opened up the Lunaverse to any author who wants to write in it, and the [[Shared Universe]] is constantly expanding.
Line 16:
''[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/13204/Boast-Busted Boast Busted]'', the original release, is a retelling of ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E6 Boast Busters|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' as it occurred in the Lunaverse. Trixie's performance during the Eventime festival, the celebration of the spring equinox, is interrupted by a certain purple unicorn who doesn't think Trixie is doing ''real'' magic and wants to show her what magic is really all about. It is complete.
''[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/14662/Longest-Night%2C-Longest-Day Longest Night, Longest Day]'' is a rendition of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
''[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/26552/Family-Matters Family Matters]'' is the first wholly original Lunaverse story. Taking place after ''Longest Night, Longest Day'' but before ''Boast Busters,'' it is also the first story to center on a side-character rather than one of the new Elements of Harmony; in this case, the main character is Dinky Doo, and the story is about Dinky's attempts to buy a birthday present for her mother and her first meeting with her half-sister, Amethyst Star ("Sparkler"). It is in progress.
Line 50:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: {{spoiler|Corona plain destroys Luna when they fight again.}}
** {{spoiler|The Luna-6 to Corona. The Tyrant Sun's attacks just bounce off the Elements of Harmony until they counterattack. Once.}}
* [[Dark Is Evil]]: Played with. While Luna isn't evil, as we the audience know, [[In
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: On the other hoof, on realizing that Corona was returning Luna's first action was to try and get everypony in Ponyville to flee to safety.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: As compared to the actual cartoon, anyway (which after all is targeted at 5-12-year-olds), though all the stories published so far still manage to remain within their "Everyone" ratings on [[Fim Fiction]].
Line 64:
** "I won't stop until I've pierced the heavens themselves!"
* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: Cherrilee earns her stripes by making a [[Country Matters]] joke when Corona complained about her [[Flowery Elizabethan English|undereducated tongue.]]
* [[Everything's Worse
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]/[[Large Ham]]: Corona spends an awful lot of her time chewing the scenery and proclaiming how awesome she is in as loud a voice as possible. In early-modern English.
* [[Expy]]: [[Word of God]] has stated that Corona's characterisation draws inspiration from pre-[[Badass Decay]] [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Lord Zedd]].
Line 92:
* [[It's All About Me]]: Corona seems fully convinced that everyone's distrust and fear of her is due to lies spread by Luna rather than anything she might have done.
** It's kind of bizarre. She kidnaps ponies to ensure loyalty, thereby demonstrating that she knows the effect it has on others, yet she expects ponies to love her regardless.
* [[Jerk
* [[Jerk
* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|Twilight teleports away rather than face justice.}}
** {{spoiler|Corona escaped at the end of ''Longest Night, Longest Day'' rather than being redeemed or imprisoned.}}
Line 127:
* [[Spirit Bomb]]: {{spoiler|Shining Armor acts as the focus for a barrier empowered by most of unicorns in Canterlot to be strong enough that Corona considers using a serious amount of power for the [[Fantastic Nuke]] needed to bring it down.}}
* [[Start of Darkness]]: It's implied that Celestia lost her shit and became Corona because she couldn't handle the stresses that come from ruling a country in a universe where everything wants to wreck it.
* [[Sympathy for
* [[Terrible Interviewees Montage]]: The first chapter of ''File Under...'' is basically this.
* [[Theory Tunnelvision]]: Twilight simply cannot and will not believe that Trixie's friendship with the other members of the Lunaverse Six is what helped her chase Corona away.
