A My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Fan Fic in the Eventide Verse, started in 2021 and currently ongoing.Shortly after Ponyville's Nightmare Night celebration, Princess Luna is invited, alongside the Mane Six, to an upcoming celebration in the titular city of Eventide, to honour the Lunar Princess and those who had a role in her restoration. This would be fantastic news, if not for who is doing the inviting.Eventide is a strange place, shrouded in darkness and surrounded by magic-saturated wilderness, and its mysterious Umbral Society have existed ever since Nightmare Moon's defeat. They harbour a deep distrust for Princess Celestia, and the city has always seemed just barely part of Equestria at all. To have them suddenly welcoming a large group of ponies with open forelegs is concerning, enough to treat this as a full-blown mission, rather a mere public appearance.Meanwhile, Chancellor Penumbra and her inner circle work to enact an unknown scheme, fearing the risks that come with welcoming outsiders into the heart of their city.Read it here.

Enraged by Idiocy: During the leadup to the celebration, Diamond Dust is found berating the creatures decorating the Grand Hall and shrieking about how stupid they are. The creatures around her are reduced to cowering and begging for her forgiveness until Pinkie Pie arrives and calms her down

 The Long Eventide (Fanfic) / int_309b8806
comment
Cursed with Awesome: The narration in Chapter Four that describes Brandywine's Necromancy outright calls the talent a curse, in the sense that it's overwhelming and dangerous power to wield. Downplayed as she's more than willing to make use of it to get around her sunlight weakness while taking precautions to not be consumed by it.

It spurs Shrinking Violet Friend to All Living Things Fluttershy to approach her despite her intimidating appearance.

Because Destiny Says So
 The Long Eventide (Fanfic) / int_3f70415
comment
Because Destiny Says So: Twilight, when first meeting Penumbra, realizes that her cutie mark matches the insignia of the Umbral Society perfectly. She notes that it could just mean that Penumbra has a rare, specific mark for leadership, or that she considers the Umbral Society to be her home, but that such marks are also found on dangerous zealots and "A mare who could turn out to be her enemy had a mark-deep dedication to her role." Penumbra later implies to Blackbird that her mark essentially forced her predecessor to give her the role of chancellor, which Blackbird denies.

Animalistic Abomination: Hypnos, the nyx. When summoned, he's described as "something like a sloth, save for all the ways that it wasn't," with proportions looking off and something in place of claws that the narrator refuses to describe. It's also noted that looking at him for too long would yield the sight of something worse.

comment
Covered in Gunge: After Rainbow Dash starts a food fight during the lunch, the narration spends time describing how the Mane Six, Penumbra, Blackbird Song, Brandywine, and Diamond Dust are all absolutely covered in food, including food tangled in manes, caked in feathers, and Twilight trying to remove chunks of cucumber from her horn. Princess Luna is not shown, but assumed to be the same, with only her guards unscathed.

What the Hell Is That Accent?
 The Long Eventide (Fanfic) / int_8829dfa0
comment
What the Hell Is That Accent?: Rarity's unusual accent is noted to be similar to Masquerade's in Chapter Four, which Applejack wastes no time poking fun at her for. Chapter Five confirms that she mimicked the accent of the star of a film from her foalhood, who she only later found out was from Eventide.

 The Long Eventide (Fanfic) / int_9b54d536
comment
Evil Counterpart: When arriving in Eventide, the Mane Six are introduced to the city's own set of six important mares within the Umbral Society. Both groups consist of two ponies from each of the three main tribes (Honour Code and Brandywine — earth ponies; Masquerade and Diamond Dust - unicorns; Penumbra and Blackbird Song - pegasi) and have a leader with a name related to celestial bodies. But while the Mane Six are a Ragtag Band of Misfits who became unlikely heroes, these are politically powerful mares whose intentions are currently unknown.

Continuity Nod
 The Long Eventide (Fanfic) / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod: The work also likes referencing things that took place in earlier episodes: The whole story takes place shortly after the episode "Luna Eclipsed," with Luna's public appearance there setting the wheels in motion for the Umbral Society to invite everyone to Eventide. Applejack later confirms to Masquerade that the rumour that Luna made herself look like Nightmare Moon to entertain the foals is true. Twilight Sparkle uses a reminder of the chaos that took place during "The Best Night Ever" to make her friends promise to behave themselves in Eventide. Masquerade later gets the story from Applejack and finds it hilarious. Fluttershy notes that she's extra jumpy around griffons thanks to Gilda roaring at her in "Griffon the Brush Off," and references both a line from "Mare in the Moon" and the plot of "Bridle Gossip" as examples of the fact that she can be very ignorant when it comes to non-pony sapient creatures. Rarity has gained a fear of heights after the events of "Sonic Rainboom," and ends up relaying the events of that episode to Blackbird during a breakfast at a rooftop restaurant.

comment
Super Senses: Rarity has the ability to boost her senses temporarily with magic, as part of her mark, increasing things such as the detail of her vision or range of sounds she can hear. Scent and touch are also affected, as she needs to shut the power down in Chapter Five when the floral scent Blackbird is wearing, and the sensation of her own scarf against her neck, start to be overwhelming.

Call-Forward
 The Long Eventide (Fanfic) / int_e3c36782
comment
Call-Forward: As a fanwork taking place in the early seasons and written after the show has concluded, there are several: Masquerade jokes in Chapter One that they'll be "overrun" soon with alicorns at the rate they're appearing, a nod to Twilight's future ascension and Flurry Heart's birth. Twilight spends a moment in Chapter Two hoping that there aren't any more ancient evils about to be unleashed on Equestria. Since the timeline of the show is poised to later include the return of King Sombra, Lord Tirek, The Pony of Shadows, and even the Windigoes, one commenter put it succintly as, "Oh, you poor, sweet summer child..." In Chapter Three, Penumbra is reading a book about the Elements of Harmony, and a passage is shown that references the virtues embodied by the Pillars of Equestria, who appear in later seasons of the show. It also notes the occasional folkloric depiction of a seventh element, with one of its potential names as Empathy, Sunset Shimmer's element in the Equestria Girls spinoff. In an argument with Blackbird in Chapter Four, Zigzag mentions that it may be another thousand years before Discord can answer any questions about his treatment by the Mane Six. They turn out to be somewhat off the mark, since he makes a reappearance in the season right after the one that the fanfic takes place in.

Weakened by the Light: Shown to be a weakness of the Umbral Society ponies. Honour Code flees a sunrise in the first chapter, and Blackbird Song screams in pain when stepping into sunlight in the fourth, with it mentioned that Brandywine would be unable to follow her. Chapter seven has Masquerade identified as a "daywalker," but she's still discomforted and views the sunlight as "oppressive."

Alternate Universe Fic: In canon the transformation of Princess Luna into Nightmare Moon is depicted as only resulting in a brief skirmish with her elder sister, followed by her banishment to the moon. In this story, Nightmare Moon was around long enough to take over a city, bend it to her will, and place a spell over it that's still active a thousand years later.
