* ImmortalGenius: In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/11/story-shuffle/in-the-details "In the Details"]], a group of demonologists consult the entity known as Laplace for information, believing him to be capable of providing them with the answers they need. Presumably he's immortal, or at least very long lived, as he's outlived "generations of demonologists". [[spoiler: The information he provides is due to being effectively omniscient and capable of seeing the future... but by seeing the future, he reduces it from infinite possibility to utter certainty, hence why he's known as "The Puppet of Predestination."]]

* ResidualEvilEntity: In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/7/story-shuffle/necessary-evil "Necessary Evil"]], the regenerative indestructibility is why the Evil Attractor of the Hollow Shades is necessary. An InUniverse hypothesis is "By removing the Shades, Celestia might be inflicting their darkness on the rest of Equestria." and so she stays her hand. As said by Celestia at the end:
--> '''Celestia:''' "There is a darkness there greater than any [[spoiler:it attracts]], one that befouls the very land. I did try to destroy it once. It [[spoiler:dodged, and then it moved north. The Badlands were not always such]]. I thought it better to let that corruption rest where it now lies than to rouse it again."

!! ''Story Shuffle'' provides examples of:
* AlliterativeTitle: ''S''tory ''S''huffle
* AntiMagic: In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/20/story-shuffle/no-and-yes "No and Yes"]], [[spoiler:Dinky]]'s talent centers around breaking and undoing others' magic.
-->''I break spells. You know that. There is nothing you can do that I can't undo.''
* BrickJoke: As part of the Author's Note for [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/18/story-shuffle/take-home-assignment Take-Home Assignment]]. Twilight is approximately a young adult or older at her coronation, and grows at approximately human rates:
-->''[[spoiler:You chose to commute my sentence to this written report and]] what you described as "a surprise." You went on to state that when the time comes, I'll know.''\\
''I suspect that the anticipation is intended to be as much a part of the punishment as whatever action you take. I admit, it's working.''\\
''Twilght Sparkle''\\
''Age 7''\\\
'''Author's Note''':\\
At some point during Twilight's coronation party, Celestia reminded her of this incident, then smiled.
* ChildMage: Twilight Sparkle, at [[ChildProdigy age 7, is a magical prodigy]], doing feats thought impossible, as said in [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/18/story-shuffle/take-home-assignment Take-Home Assignment]].
* ChildProdigy: Twilight Sparkle, at age 7, does magical feats thought impossible for a child, as said in [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/18/story-shuffle/take-home-assignment Take-Home Assignment]].
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/14/story-shuffle/peer-review "Peer Review"]], the Flimflam twins finish each other's shocked retort.
--> Ditzy looked from one brother to the other. "What profits? You'll never sell one of these."\\
The brothers looked at one another over her back. Flim looked horrified. "Never…"\\
"Sell?" finished a shocked Flam.
* {{Golem}}: [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/18/story-shuffle/take-home-assignment "Take-Home Assignment"]] talks about the creation process of golems in Equestria. They can be made from a variety of materials, but volatile or formerly living ones are explicitly prohibited.
* IndenturedServitude: [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/18/story-shuffle/take-home-assignment "Take-Home Assignment"]]: Indentured service to the crown is part of the punishment for the illegal, [[spoiler:unregistered, and unlicensed creation]] of golems.
* {{Invisibility}}: Spells for it are mentioned in [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/14/story-shuffle/peer-review "Peer Review"]]:
-->''True, there was another pegasus on the staff now, but Speedy Delivery couldn't use acceleration spells to guarantee same-day delivery, or invisibility spells to keep ponies from noticing the barely subsonic grey blur.''
* LanguageDrift: In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/28/story-shuffle/matters-of-interest "Matters of Interest"]], the drift in standard Equestrian over the thousand years of Luna's banishment causes a misunderstanding between her and Celestia. Originally, Equestrian used "thou", "thee" and "thine" as informal pronoun for use between family and friends, and "you" and "yours" as formal ones used for more distant acquaintances. The informal pronouns eventually dropped from use, but Luna, not knowing this, perceived Celestia's use of "you" as a deliberate distancing and a sign that her sister had not forgiven her for her fall.
* LiteralMetaphor: As said in [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/18/story-shuffle/take-home-assignment "Take-Home Assignment"]], Adult Twilight's response to a BrickJoke, whose setup was from when she was a child:
--> '''Author's Note:''' Twilight's response was literally unprintable. Her profanity transcended language.
* MeaningfulName: Discussed in [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/7/story-shuffle/necessary-evil Necessary Evil]] when the narration mentions that Hollow Shades are not a nice place and that, given the name and Equestria's tendency to use meaningful names for everything, this comes as no real surprise.
* MundaneUtility: In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/18/story-shuffle/take-home-assignment "Take-Home Assignment"]], it's mentioned that unicorn criminals usually pay their debt to society by performing menial magical labor such as enchanting electromantic materials or performing fine telekinesis in assembly lines.
* OneWordTitle: Some of the story titles:
** [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/9/story-shuffle/aftershock Aftershock]].
** [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/12/story-shuffle/downtime Downtime]], a story where Twilight Sparkle relaxes.
** [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/31/story-shuffle/coda Coda]], a story about music and endings.

* PowerLimiter: As said in [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/18/story-shuffle/take-home-assignment "Take-Home Assignment"]], penitent's rings, which are worn by criminals, severely limit their ability to use magic.
* PunBasedTitle: [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/13/story-shuffle/rock-on "Rock On"]]: A story about magic, music, MagicMusic, stones, and magic stones that relate to music.
* SignatureInstrument: In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/31/story-shuffle/coda "Coda"]], Octavia, a cellist who starts the story as a full-grown mare, went to the big city as a "naive filly [...] with little more than a cello on her back". She uses her cello playing to perform music that and uses that to do what's implied to be MagicMusic that enchants wineglasses whose wine [[spoiler:[[EmotionControl alters a griffin's thoughts]]]].
* TimeTravel: In "[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/20/story-shuffle/no-and-yes No and Yes]]", [[spoiler:Pumpkin's]] job involves traveling through time.
* TrackingDevice: As said in [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/18/story-shuffle/take-home-assignment "Take-Home Assignment"]], a function of penitent's rings, which are worn by criminals.
