History Fanfic / ThroughTheWellOfPirene

* ViolentGlaswegian: The [[AnimalisticAbomination Morgwyn]] in the audiobook has a noticeable brogue and a taste for blood.

Now has an [[AudioAdaptation audiobook]] in the making, which can be listened to [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsh16AMSFG_Kr3ytHoP2j88doQz7spihD on Youtube]].

* AbritrarySkepticism: Daphne can accept being turned into a unicorn, travelling through a mazelike enchanted forest and having her sister kidnapped by monsters, but she refuses to accept a fern native to New Zealand being present in Equestria. Lampshaded in-universe as a sign of her going into shock.

* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: On three counts, no less. Daphne towards Amelia, and later [[spoiler: Rarity and Applejack toward Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom]].

Through the Well of Pirene is written as a [[FirstPersonPerspective first person narrative]] following the perspectives of Daphne herself, Amelia, and later Leit Motif upon Daphne’s arrival in Equestria, switching perspectives approximately every chapter to keep the story rolling upon the two girls’ divergent paths. It has many inspirations, including ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'', ''Literature/{{The Chronicles of Narnia}}'', and ''{{The Lord of the Rings}}'', as well as taking inspiration and borrowing elements from Norse, Indian, and other mythologies.

* TarotMotifs: The goblins largely belong to one of four major factions; the Wands (or the Baton), The Cups, The Swords, or the Rings (or the Coin), each being a lesser Arcana of the Tarot deck. High ranking goblins are named for the court cards; the King, Queen, Knight, and Page (or Jack).

* ThreeAmigos: Daphne, Marcus, and Naomi. Daphne being the protagonist and leader, while Marcus and Naomi could scarcely be different. Marcus is male, Naomi is female. Marcus is Filipino, Naomi is classically American. He's a rebel, she's a daddy's girl. He is Daphne's (former, on again off again throughout the story) potential love interest, and she is Daphne's best friend. Even their modes of transportation are up for examination, Marcus opting for a motorcycle and Naomi riding horseback.

The story begins late October, 2011 in an unnamed town in Massachusetts, outside of the fictional Everfree State Park. In a bid to entertain her sister while their parents are out of the house for the night, Daphne takes Amelia into Everfree State Park, the very place she met her childhood friend, Leit Motif, a young unicorn filly from the land of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestria]]. Daphne and Amelia are separated, and both traverse the magical pathways between Everfree State Park and the Everfree Forest of Equestria—Amelia to run away, and Daphne to come after her. The two sisters are swiftly entangled in an ancient prophecy and a twisted plot spanning multiple worlds.

* TakeOurWordForIt: Amelia refuses to talk about a sequence of events in chapter thirteen (see the Big Lipped Alligator Moment in the YMMV subpage), either because of how utterly disgusting or completely bizarre it was. Probably both. Amelia even holds true to her word, omitting the scene in the telling of her share of the narrative.

* FalseFriend: Amelia and her initial relationship with Wire and the CMC. The moment they become a burden rather than a boon, Amelia writes them off.

* SiblingRivalry: There's a fair bit of animosity between Amelia and Daphne, mostly from Amelia toward Daphne, but Daphne has her own share of teenage angst toward her baby sister. The fact that the climax of the story [[spoiler: has the two of them both racing toward the Well of Pirene for very different reasons]] doesn't help the issue.

* [[BigBadAssWolf Big Badass Cat]]: The Morgwyn.

* Shapeshifting: Both types, voluntary (see the goblins) and involuntary (see the protagonists).
