comment |
Sophistication and Betrayal is a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan fiction story by Drefsab.When our human protagonist first wound up in Equestria on the verge of death after having barely survived a military experiment gone wrong, it would have been hard for him to predict he'd end up in a relationship with the resident fashionista unicorn.Yet even though he's stuck in a fantasy world run by princesses who manipulate celestial bodies with their minds, and despite being the only member of his species, our protagonist has adapted well to Equestrian life. He's in a loving relationship with Rarity, her business is going great, and their friends are doing fine. All is well for them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Then a figure from Rarity's past decided to pay her a visit.From here on in, we follow our couple as they attempt to build their life together. That is, when they're not having to deal with increasingly complicated relationships, bitter childhood friends, crazy stalkers, and Pinkie Pie's singing... |

All Men Are Perverts: Certainly to be believed if you go by Pipe Wrench and the protagonist, something both Rarity and Dazzle Drop chastise them for throughout. Pipe even whistles at an attractive barmaid with his wife sitting right by him, much to her bemusement. |

comment |
Relationship Upgrade: Averted with Fluttershy, who despite some kissing and cuddling never really progresses with a relationship between Rarity and the protagonist, and is not intimate with either before it gets broken off. Fluttershy's friendship with Whip-Smart is strongly implied to be heading in this direction as of the finale, though they're both happy to keep it slow and remain Just Friends for the time being. |

comment |
She Who Fights Monsters: Despite proclaiming to be above such things, Rarity does display this over the course of the story when she engages in some somewhat unethical behaviour of her own in retaliation, which she does admit to. However, there are some lines - such as resorting to slander - that she absolutely refuses to cross. |

Good Old Fisticuffs: The fight between the protagonist and Slate, when the latter is confronted over his stalking. Despite the protagonist's military training, he still takes a heavy beating. |

Not What It Looks Like: Inverted. Rarity and the protagonist's encounter in the first chapter is exactly what it looks like, but Pinkie in her naivety mistakes it for "a big hug", and completely accepts the excuse that Rarity was simply very excited about her recent business success. |

Revenge |

comment |
Revenge: A major theme throughout: Cashmere's primary motivation. Slate wants revenge on Rarity for turning him down. After tricking Rarity into opening on her day off and offering a heavy discount - to the point of selling at a huge loss - Rarity retaliates in kind by forcing Cashmere to do the same, with the aid of Pinkie Pie's singing and by using her own words against her. |

Not So Different: Cashmere accuses Rarity of this when the latter strikes back with some schemes of her own. Rarity protests this assertion, though it's shown over the course of the story that she's not as different as she'd like to believe. The protagonist when he inadvertently ends up making the same mistake Rarity made with Cashmere all those years ago, and winds up leading Fluttershy on rather than confessing his true feelings to her. |

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Rarity encourages Cashmere to do this, suggesting that it's more efficient to compete legitimately by offering a good service, rather than engaging in underhanded deals.

Bewildering Punishment: Zig-Zagged. Rarity claims that Cashmere is motivated by her jealousy and resentment, something which she initially denies. However, when Cashmere finally breaks down and admits this, it's revealed that Rarity allowed herself to forget the true details of what went down, and thus was actually unaware of what precisely she had done. |

Take That!: A minor one, where the protagonist and Rarity mock some of the more... unusual fetishes displayed in various fics out there. invokedAverted with Twilight, with the protagonist commenting that making fun of the sparkling "stopped being funny two years ago". |

Enormous Engagement Ring: By human standards many engagement 'rings' in Equestria are this, since necklaces or other items are often used instead. The magical necklace the protagonist has made for Rarity fulfills the spirit of the trope however by being particularly unusual and spectacular. |

Can't Hold Her Liquor: Rainbow Dash is quite the lightweight owing to her fast metabolism, but completely ignores Applejack's warnings over this and denies having such a problem. Twilight also possesses an extremely low tolerance for alcohol and claims she gets drunk after two glasses of beer. Rarity is also easily intoxicated. In fact it's probably safe to say almost all of the Mane 6 cannot hold their drink, save for AJ. |

Shout-Out: The protagonist's favorite drink is Sparkle Cola. Pinkie Pie takes on the name of Tenacious P for one of her songs. This is immediately lampshaded by the protagonist. To Star Wars, when the protagonist compares unicorn magic to The Force. To The Dark Knight when the protagonist responds to her comment with "We kill the Batman?". Rarity naturally doesn't get the reference. "Time is money, friend" To Pink Floyd numerous times, including Chapter 14's title, "Wearing The Inside Out" and Chapter 17's title, "High Hopes". Eric Clapton during Chapter 3, when the Protagonist starts singing "Wonderful Tonight" to himself while waiting for Rarity to get dressed. Bob Seger as well, in passing. Airplane! gets in with the usual Shirley reference. As above, naturally Rarity doesn't get it. |

TriangRelations |
| Sophistication and Betrayal / Fan Fic / int_c90381e3 |
comment |
Triang Relations: Deconstructed. Rarity suggests including Fluttershy in their relationship, ostensibly to help coax the shy pegasus out of her shell and allow her to find love of her own, but it's strongly implied that Rarity is using the opportunity to act on her long-nurtured and somewhat one-sided crush on her friend. The protagonist spends significant time on trying to figure out where exactly this is going in the long term, as well as worrying about what impact it will have on his existing relationship. Later on, this ends up causing him a significant amount of angst when Fluttershy confesses her love for him which he does not return, and that he admits to Rarity that he only wants to be in a monogamous relationship with her. |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Cashmere shows many elements of this, engaging in some ruthless and decidedly unethical business practices to make her way to the top. |

A Man Is Always Eager |
| Sophistication and Betrayal / Fan Fic / int_cd427ce1 |
comment |
A Man Is Always Eager: The protagonist plays this one fairly straight, to the point where Rarity reacts with disbelief when at one point suggests it would be a bad idea. This is slightly subverted however by the fact it takes a great deal of time for them both to become comfortable with the idea of being intimate with each other in the flashbacks. |

No Sense of Personal Space: Cashmere has a habit of getting very touchy-feely with others, particularly with Rarity. Rather hypocritically, she gets very annoyed if anyone dares to make the same impositions upon her. |

Hoist By Her Own Petard: At her store's opening ceremony, Cashmere makes use her supposed friendship and solidarity with Rarity to force Rarity into giving away a heavy discount, with no way to refuse while still saving face. Rarity turns this around later on by using Cashmere's same words to force her into going along with another sale. |

What the Hell, Hero?: The protagonist gives a brief one to Pipe Wrench regarding the hiring of Slate, which Pipe quite reasonably rejects. See Hypocrite. Cashmere gives one to Rarity when the full truth of how she was rejected comes out. Rarity for her part accepts the criticism and apologises for the way she lead Cashmere on. |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The protagonist. Justified by most of Ponyville having had time to get used to his appearance. Averted with newcomers to Ponyville, who react with the surprise and staring you'd expect, something which causes the protagonist much frustration. Rarity also lampshades this when the protagonist suggests walking past Cashmere without them being noticed. |

You Can't Go Home Again: Celestia and Luna's efforts to send the protagonist home almost succeed, but fail at the last second when he passes out from the stress of the spell. As a result, the spell is unable to be cast again without killing him, permanently trapping him in Equestria. Needless to say, this is not received well. |

comment |
Evil Plan: Rarity and the protagonist start plotting one against Cashmere in Chapter 23. Subverted when Fluttershy suggests they talk to her, which they immediately decide to do instead, noting that it's a far better idea. |

Earn Your Happy Ending: It takes a while and getting there isn't always easy, but the story ends with Rarity and the protagonist tying the knot. |

comment |
Good People Have Good Sex: Let's just say that Rarity and the protagonist enjoy a very healthy sex life. Averted on some occasions though, such as the time the protagonist almost manages to take his eye out on Rarity's horn, which somewhat kills the moment. |

Dude, Where's My Respect? |
| Sophistication and Betrayal / Fan Fic / int_f818b637 |
comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Generally averted. While rarely brought up, it's made clear that Ponyville - and Equestria - has respect for Rarity and her friends' accomplishments. Inverted, if Cashmere is to be believed. She dismisses Rarity's achievements as meaningless and undeserving of the respect that's been afforded to her, though she isn't the most impartial judge. Played straight when the guards don't recognise Rarity and Twilight. |

Comically Missing the Point: Cashmere, when confronted with stalker photographs of Rarity and the protagonist immediately thinks they're gifting her with pornography, rather than accusing her of anything. |

comment |
Will They or Won't They?: A large part of the story revolves around just where precisely Fluttershy's inclusion in Rarity and the progagonist's relationship is headed. After much confusion, soul-searching, and a near-miss after a night of drinking, Fluttershy ends up being Just Friends with the two. |

Brick Joke: After waking up in hospital and hearing the unusual 'codenames', the protagonist snidely comments upon hearing Twilight's name that she should have included "Sparkling" in there. A little later in the scene he discovers Twilight's actual full name. |
