** Applejack is portrayed as being concerned that the Apple Trust might collapse practically at any minute, despite its size and virtual monopoly on apples throughout Equestria;
** Rainbow Dash's laziness is somewhat more apparent, and her loyal nature has been re-focused on Fluttershy,and such that she's willing to leave Ponyville hanging in order to hang out with her;
** PinkiePie. Pie is still basically Pinkie Pie, but Trixie (and Lyra, for that matter) are less than enthused at her constantly hyper-active nature;
** Fluttershy is an utter introvert, to the point of only having regular contact with two other ponies, Rainbow Dash and Ditzy Doo;

->“Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest sister used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn. The younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects: all the different types of ponies.
->“But as time went on, the elder sister grew greedy. Though the ponies relished and played in the day and honored her above her younger sister, she wanted to become queen of both night and day. One fateful day, she turned upon her younger sister. The younger sister tried to reason with her, but the avarice in the elder one’s heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of fire and hate: Corona. She vowed that she would reign forever over day, night, and everything in between.
->“Reluctantly, the younger sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony! Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her elder sister and banished her permanently into the heart of the sun. The younger sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon, and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since.”

The Lunaverse by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/RainbowDoubleDash RainbowDoubleDash]] is an AlternateUniverseFic of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.
At its simplest, it is a BizarroUniverse: 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 to stop her. However, things are not so straightforward, and just as the canon did not end with the defeat of Nightmare Moon, though, there are also stories to be told other than that of Corona's defeat.
There are currently two stories in the series:
''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/13204/Boast-Busted Boast Busted]]'', the original release, is a retelling of ''Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E6BoastBusters'' 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 some real magic. It is complete.
''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/14662/Longest-Night%2C-Longest-Day Longest Night, Longest Day]]'' is a rendition of ''Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon'' and ''Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony'', telling of Trixie's initial arrival in Ponyville, her gathering of the Lunaverse's Mane Six and their defeat of the Tyrant Sun Corona. It is currently in progress.
!This fanfiction series contains examples of the following:
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Corona plain destroys Luna when they fight again.]]
* DeadlyDecadentCourt: The Night Court is said to be one, but we have yet to see them in action.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Corona has them.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Corona, of course.
* GratuitousFrench: [[spoiler: When Trixie gets drunk, she reverts to Neigh Orleans form.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: 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.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Twilight teleports away rather than face justice.]]
* LightIsNotGood: Corona, of course.
* ObviousJudas: In retrospect, the suspicion [[spoiler: Zecora's]] actions earn is well-deserved, though the jury is still out on [[spoiler: Spike]].
