In an Equestria that has grown colder and more dismal, the Cutie Map suddenly awakens after years of inactivity, flashing the cutie marks of the Mane Six's children... who don't exactly all get along with each other. They, alongside Discord's daughter Cackle, travel together to investigate the secrets the map holds, and perhaps bring joy back into their world.

----
!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: [[spoiler:Snails and Big Macintosh, now Orchard Blossom]], are now transgender women instead of presumably cisgender stallions.
* AwfulWeddedLife: Trenderhoof and Applejack are described as a "sitcom family" relationship, in that Trenderhoof is an "idiot husband" and Applejack is a WetBlanketWife. They do allegedly love each other, but spend a lot of time fighting.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe:
** Tootsie Flute got with her childhood crush, Truffle Shuffle, because he comforted her when she was dealing with her mothers' divorce.
** Big Macintosh's relationship with Twilight started because he returned her childhood doll to her when she was suffering massive grief, and she started seeing him more often whenever she needed company.
* BigBadWannabe Aquablaze wants to be a real villain like their parents, but they're just an ineffective manipulative {{jerkass}}. They even ran away from home to try and engineer their own FreudianExcuse.
* BlindingBangs: Misty Mizzle's mane covers her eyes, making her look more reclusive. This is good for Rainbow Dash, given Misty has her father's eyes.
* ButchLesbian: Spitfire and Braeburn's daughter [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Afterburner-756917955 Aferburner]] is a butchy lesbian cloud seeder who dabbles in machinery, considered very attractive to every sapphic creature in Cloudsdale.
* CampGay: Applejack's son Zestar! is a dramatic, flamboyant gay stallion who enjoys makeup and drag.
* ChildByRape:
** Dr. Stables had sex with his patient Screwloose, who was too insane to consent, which resulted in Dusty Dunes. Screwloose is traumatized by the experience and highly protective of Dusty, who fears his father and anybody who looks like him.
** Downplayed with Maigold Apple, who was conceived while Cheerilee and Big Macintosh were under a LovePotion, which is treated as akin to a "date rape drug" here. This has given Maigold some complicated feelings about romance, and she sometimes feels obligated to council others on theirs.
* ClassClown: Sweet Treat, the daughter of Truffle Shuffle and Tootsie Flute, likes to cheer others up in her class with silly pranks.
* CloneAngst: [[spoiler:Peggy is actually one of the last surviving Pinkie clones from "Too Many Pinkie Pies." Twilight killing her "sisters" has left her traumatized, and she desperately tries to avoid looking or acting too much like Pinkie so she can have her own identity.]]
* ComingOutStory: One subplot involves two ponies coming out as trans women: [[spoiler:Big Mac, who changes her name to Orchard Blossom, and Snails, who does not change her name]]. [[spoiler:Snails']] journey goes fairly smoothly, but [[spoiler:Orchard]] has a more difficult time as she's worried about further upsetting her neurotic wife.
* CoolOldLady: Lily Lighty, a bug-loving, young-at-heart old lady who treats Maigold like her own granddaughter and mentors her in potion-making. This is invoked as she's actually [[spoiler:Ocellus in a disguise]].
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Part of why Saffron Masala was attracted to Zephyr Breeze was because her dad thought he was bad news and she wasn't fully out of her rebellious phase. Of course, her father turned out to be right as Zephyr quit working with Saffron after their whirlwind romance and left her before realizing she was pregnant.
* DeadSparks: Rainbow Dash is both unsatisfied with Soarin's lack of drive and his "unfulfilling" sex life, which is what drives her to her one-night stand with Zephyr, justifying it to herself as "getting back" at Soarin' for not "fulfilling her needs."
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: As explained in [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Pipsqueak-842532166 Pipsqueak's bio]], Luna doesn't consider the age gap between her and Pipsqueak to be as big a deal as some might due to her missing out on so much of modern times, as the age of consent wasn't as strong an issue a thousand years ago.
* DelicateAndSickly: Miracle is chronically ill, possibly due to her dragon-pony hybrid status, and frequently seen with a runny nose. Her parents tend to shelter and dote on her because of this, despite her longing for adventure.
* DevelopmentGag:
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Starlight-Glimmer-685183564 Starlight's design]] is taken from [[https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/9/92/Art_of_Equestria_page_108_-_Starlight_Glimmer_concept_art.png/revision/latest?cb=20151014045148 one of her concept art designs.]]
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Luna-702405755 The mane on Luna's older design]] is inspired by her beta design, Selena.
* DomesticAbuse: Limestone broke Zephyr's wings to prevent him from running out on her, and continues to threaten him under the guise of BDSM.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Maigold has called Galaxy Gazer "Pinkadink" since childhood, which the moody colt does not appreciate.
* EnfanteTerrible: Harrow Crisp is an "evil little shit" despite her adorable appearance. Only Sonata seems aware of this.
* EveryoneHasStandards: While Bellicoso Bash is a bully, she thinks Lionheart is too mean, and disapproves of him stealing money and toys from other kids.
* EmoTeen: Galaxy Gazer, formerly known as [[EmbarrassingName Pink Sparkle Apple]], is a moody teenage nihilist who refuses to make friends like his mother insists.
* {{Expy}}: While some characters have color palettes or other traits taken from other media, other characters are simply pony versions of other characters.
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/The-Troublehugger-Siblings-753594355 Treehugger and Troubleshoes' children]], minus Sweet Salvia, are all based off the Lane family in ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}.''
** Diamond Tiara's children are based off the main characters of ''Theatre/{{Heathers}}''. Croquet Mallet is Veronica, right down to the nostalgia for when her classmates were nicer; Charming Chandelier is Heather Chandler, the dramatic AlphaBitch of the group; Daisy Dukes is Heather Duke, the cruel BetaBitch; and Mellow Mascara is Heather [=MacNamara=], who goes along with her sisters just to fit in. Stormy Skies also takes inspiration from Martha Dunnstock, while Lionheart is Jason Dean and Croquet's love interest.
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Princess-Imago-941305702 Imago is based off the titular deformed child in Creator/HideshiHino's comic ''Hell Baby'', but given a happier ending.
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Marie-Berlioz-and-Toulouse-943705771 Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse]] are Abyssinian versions of the kittens from ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats''.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Cackle is a prankster who enjoys annoying Accordance, who is far more organized and responsible than her older sister and serves as Twilight's correspondent.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Big-Macintosh-684354713 Big Macintosh's design]] has long, feminine hair, and the description mentions that Big Mac relates to Galaxy Gazer exploring his identity and "he wishes his wife would let him figure out who he wants to be without pushing him to be something he might not want to be." This all hints that [[spoiler:Big Mac is actually a closeted trans woman who can't explore her identity publicly due to concerns she'd upset Twilight.]]
* FormerChildStar:
** Tessitura Tune became a famous singer as a filly thanks to her famous mother and stage dad, and grew up playing up a personable image for the spotlight. When she turned eighteen, she partied harder due to the pressure and became more infamous for alcohol and drug abuse.
** Averted with Baby Blues, who also became famous at a young age, to highlight the difference between her and Tessi. Since Coco allows her more personal time and didn't let her pop star identity get confused with her real self, Baby is much better able to control her image without letting it harm her mental health, and she's in fact quite good at manipulation.
* FourthWallObserver: Deconstructed with [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Discord-697269734 Discord]]. Discord is aware he is part of a television show, so when the point of divergence happens to start the AU, he becomes aware he's not being "watched" anymore, meaning he had no obligation to perform his silly gags for a target audience or be bound to any rules of canon whatsoever. He is now able to acknowledge death, sex, and queer identities, and is aware these topics are censored in his usual canon. However, since nobody but him could understand what this meant, [[TragicClown he just had to pretend nothing was wrong, distracting himself by messing with Celestia]].
* GentleGiant: Maltster Apple-Pie, Marble's son, is the biggest and fattest child in the Pie family, but also quite delicate and fond of cleaning and cheering up children. He even has a teddy bear cutie mark.
* GentleTouchVsFirmHand: While Rainbow Dash likes to push her children to succeed, her husband Soarin' is more laid-back and dotes on their daughters. This dissonance extends to their marriage, as Rainbow thinks Soarin' lacks ambition and Soarin' thinks Rainbow pushes him too hard.
* HandsOffParenting: Troubleshoes and Treehugger let their children raise themselves due to Treehugger's hippie beliefs and Troubleshoes' concern that his bad luck could affect his children.
* HearingVoices: Claystone Pie suffers intense psychosis and intrusive thoughts that convince her that everybody else is judging her and admonish her for anything that could be considered a "sin." She once "heard" her mother say something so terrible that she threw a vase at her, scarring Pinkie's throat.
* HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs: Bluebelle's stoner ramblings actually allow her to consider the meta nature of the story she's in, pondering, "What if, like, the world can be changed... like... if I wasn't born, or you, what if we were like, super important and like, not having us around bucks up the universe?" This also serves as {{foreshadowing}} given the main catalyst for the Miracleverse is [[spoiler:Flurry Heart's stillbirth]].
* HypotheticalCasting: Starry has assigned the main characters of the work [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Main-Cast-VA-Meme-808557858 hypothetical voice actors]].
* IsntItIronic: Deliberately done with some of the song-themed artwork depicting the Mane Six's dysfunctional relationships. Music/KellyClarkson's "Miss Independent" is the title of [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miss-Independent-763964920 a piece of art]] about an independent woman settling for a man instead of a {{tsundere}} accepting love into her life.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: One of Bluebelle's stoner ramblings raises the question of what the world would be like if she and others didn't exist, alluding to her being part of an AlternateUniverseFic.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Zestar! is a "gayer, more flamboyant version" of his father Trenderhoof, as he's quite vain and judgmental of others, especially (though not exclusively in Zestar!'s case) when it comes to fashion.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon:
** Pastel Parabola is an ObsessivelyOrganized introverted accountant, which makes it difficult for her to get along with her athletic Wonderbolt parents.
** Bellicoso Bash isn't a gamer like her father or a performer like her mother; she's a rough-and-tumble bully who's meaner than them both.
** While his mother is the Princess of Friendship, Galaxy Gazer thinks friendship is meaningless.
* LonelyTogether: Moondancer and Prince Blueblood got together largely out of loneliness, with Blueblood being a narcissist who wanted someone to validate that he's generous and Moondancer not having many friends.
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: Soarin' tries not to question the fact his daughter Misty Mizzle doesn't look much like him, just as much as Rainbow Dash likes to ignore the fact Misty was conceived after an affair with Zephyr Breeze.
* MamaBear: As per her aggressive personality, Limestone seeks out anybody who hurts her daughter Evenkite with borderline murderous intentions.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The hardworking farmer Apple Bloom is married to the sensitive dancer Tender Taps.
* MentorInQueerness: Sonata Apple looks up to their CampGay cousin Zestar!, who encouraged Sona to embrace their nonbinary identity and that fashion had no gender.
* MisaimedFandom: InUniverse, Galaxy Gazer misunderstands Neightzche's work to ''just'' be about how existence is meaningless, and not the more complex subjects inside, because he thinks it makes him "cool and edgy."
* MoralityPet: Belli is TheBully to almost everyone... except her cousin Miracle, who she treats very gently and will defend with her life.
* MyBelovedSmother: Luna dotes on her son Halfpint Moon, keeping him from going too far, too long, or too fast. This has made him a bit cowardly, though he enjoys when his father allows him to "rebel" in small ways by just flying around a bit by himself.
* MythologyGag: [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Old-Lady-Lightly-738046752 Lily Lightly's design]] is loosely based on both a pony of the same name from WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3 and Applejack's design in the same generation.
* NeatFreak: Maltster spends a lot of time stressing and cleaning up after his messy cousins, since he can't do any of the more strenuous physical labor.
* OneNightStandPregnancy:
** Misty Mizzle is the result of Raindow Dash cheating on her husband with Zephyr Breeze in an act of sexual frustration and desperation. However, she pretends the baby is Soarin's.
** Dr. Stables and Screwloose conceived their child during a brief period of time when Screwloose's condition seemed to be returning. However, she never became sane enough to consent, so her pregnancy caused a ''huge'' stir.
** Zecora met Temple Chant while searching for new ingredients, and after an awkward hookup, they parted ways. She didn't see the need to get back in touch with him when she found out she was pregnant with Pundamilia.
** Mellow Mascara came from a one-night stand between Diamond Tiara and Pipsqueak "that went nowhere" before the latter was about to join the royal guard.
** Gilda and Gustave conceived their son Giovanni during a one-night stand while Gilda worked at Gustave's bakery.
** Braeburn and Marble conceived Maltster during a one-night stand after meeting at the market while Braeburn was on a break from his wife Spitfire. He didn't intend to have a relationship with her, and unfortunately couldn't stay when Marble got pregnant because of his marriage.
* OperationJealousy: It's implied the only reason Lyra and Bon Bon got with their respective husbands was to show off to each other after they noticed the other one was talking up a stallion as well. They even rushed their weddings to compete with each other.
* {{Paparazzi}}: Zipporwhill and Featherweight's daughter Shutterbug is a freelance paparazza who stalks Tessitura Tune and Baby Blues for hot gossip. Baby Blues curries favor with her while Zestar! loathes her.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Tessi and Zestar! are very close childhood friends, with Zestar! only having her best interests in mind as her manager. Zestar! being gay and Tessi being aro-ace prevents them from being anything more.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Generic Hearts is a gentle therapist who shows compassion to his clients, while his twin brother Bland Hearts is more cynical and judgmental with a tendency towards unhelpful BrutalHonesty.
* PowerDynamicsKink:
** Starlight is a ChubbyChaser who uses magic to overfeed her partner Sunburst, but she also seems to specifically like being able to control him.
** One of the reasons Rarity was attracted to adult Spike was because she was allured by the "predator and prey" angle of [[InterspeciesRomance dating a dragon]], comparing it to romance novels about dating marewolves and bat-ponies.
* QuestionableConsent: Rarity and Spike's AgeGapRomance is highly controversial in-universe due to Rarity knowing Spike as a child and hooking up with him on his twenty-first birthday while drunk. Applejack accuses her of grooming him, which damages their friendship for quite some time, and Twilight is also quite unnerved when she finds out.
* TheQuietOne: Misty doesn't talk much, not even realizing foals were supposed to talk until she was about four.
* RaceFetish: Implied. One reason Zephyr was attracted to Saffron Masala was because she was "exotic," which the author acknowledges is gross on his part.
* SafeSaneAndConsensual: Averted with [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Zephyr-Breeze-710591951 Zephyr]] and Limestone. Limestone is into damaging Zephyr's wings in the bedroom, and took advantage of a defective magical wing restraint that made it impossible for Zephyr to remove, as only ''Limestone'' saying the safe word would make them come off. This is when their relationship fully escalates from BDSM to DomesticAbuse as Zephyr is now unable to fly.
* ShadowArchetype: Baby Blues embraces all the aspects of show business that make Tessitura Tune uncomfortable, and tries to rope Tessi into a romantic narrative that she doesn't like.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Prince Blueblood gives Moondancer a makeover to make her look like a beautiful princess. She does look more put-together, but isn't necessarily any happier.

** Angelica, Evenkite, and Pegmatite's names and color palettes are taken from the Schuyler sisters as depicted in ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''.
** Sonata Apple and Harrow Crisp have their color palettes, and aspects of their personality, taken from Frisk and Chara from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}},'' respectively.

* SiblingRivalry:
** Turquoise Tempo and Hazelnut Hushup are step-siblings (though their mothers are divorced and they were born under their respective new husbands) who constantly bicker with each other. Both try to curry favor with their shared half-sister Tootsie Flute in an effort to be the favorite little sibling.
** Trixie's daughters love to tease and compete with one another, especially as they're all different pony races and have different abilities to show off.
* SplitPersonality: Starry interprets Fluttershy's "assertive side" as a protective alter only known as New Fluttershy. In the Miracleverse, Fluttershy ends up with Iron Will, but he isn't aware the pony he ''really'' likes is New Fluttershy. Bluebelle is aware of this and calls New Fluttershy "Other Mom."
* StepfordSmiler:
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Twilight-651940819 Twilight]] tries very hard to act like she's happy with her family and swears her son will have a happy life going forward, but she's extremely stressed and traumatized as a result of the Crystal Empire incident, [[ObviouslyNotFine as much as she refuses to talk about it and insists she's fine]].
* TheStoner: The perpetually-high Bashful Bluebelle takes after Treehugger more than her parents, and even has a special talent in baking with weed.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial:
** Misty Mizzle's biography insists she is "absolutely, completely, totally Soarin's foal" and that ''nothing'' happened when she went to vent her frustrations at Fluttershy's place.
-->If someone had been there to comfort and give her what she was missing in her relationship, which never happened, he left after comforting her, which would have been just fine with Rainbow. It, if it happened, which it didn't, she would prefer to have it be a secret strictly between them.

* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Marble-Pie-770370279 Marble Pie's story]] is that she always yearned for a storybook romance, and went for a one-night stand with Braeburn because she could picture a whole idyllic life with him. Unfortunately, she ended up pregnant and learned Braeburn was already married, though she hopes Braeburn may come back for her and Maltster someday.
* TragicStillbirth: [[spoiler:Flurry Heart was born dead in this AU, which depressed the entire Crystal Empire so badly, it shattered the Crystal Heart and plunged the empire into eternal winter. Cadence and Shining Armor were lost in the storm, and despite surviving, Cadence was corrupted by her grief into a perpetually-mourning creature known as "Decadence."]]
* TransTribulations: Cackle suffers severe gender dysphoria, which gives her a negative and ugly self-image. This is made worse by her "male" dolphin traits, which give her intense sexual feelings that she worries will make her a predator.
* TraumaButton: Peggy becomes extremely anxious around paint and spiral magic. This is because [[spoiler:the other Pinkie clones were killed via Twilight's spiral-shaped spell while watching paint dry]].
* UnfortunateNames: Generic Hearts and Bland Hearts both dislike their first names, and Generic prefers to go by "Gene."
* WeightWoe: Stormy Skies is a chubby filly, and her mother wants her to lose weight as she suspects that's keeping her from flying. Unfortunately this just makes Stormy more stressed, so she eats more and gains more weight.
* WhaleEgg: Because Accordance is half-draconequus, her alicorn mother Celestia laid her as an egg rather than the mammalian birth typical of most ponies. Discord finds this delightfully unconventional.
* WhamEpisode: [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Stitchwork-Shine-657863386 Stitchwork Shine's biography]] serves as TheReveal for the diverging point of the Miracleverse, as it finally explains how [[spoiler:Cadence and Shining Armor's child being stillborn]] caused the Crystal Empire to freeze over and Cadence and Shining Armor togo missing, which explains why so many characters seem to be dealing with emotional trauma.
* WhatDoTheyFearEpisode: One series of drawings depicts the characters' fears, as [[NightmareFuelColoringBook illustrated by the characters themselves.]] Peggy suffers [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-1-Gyrephobia-740456953 a fear of spiral magic]], Dusty Dunes is afraid of [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-4-Syngenesophobia-740461759 his father]], Zestar! is afraid of [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-5-Pharmacophobia-740463541 Tessitura overdosing]], Tessitura is afraid of [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-6-Virginitiphobia-Agraphobia-740464867 Baby Blues sexually assaulting her]], Cackle has [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-3-Dysmorphophobia-740460335 terrifying gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia]], Bellicosa is afraid of [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-2-Panthophobia-740459252 Miracle dying]], and Miracle herself is [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-7-Coimetrophobia-740466762 afraid of dying and breaking her loved ones' hearts]].
* WorkingWithTheEx: [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Chiffon-Swirl-843143674 Chiffon Swirl]] (the former Mrs. Cake) is divorced from Carrot Cake, but still runs the bakery with him for convenience's sake.
[[/folder]]
In an Equestria that has grown colder and more dismal, the Cutie Map suddenly awakens after years of inactivity, flashing the cutie marks of the Mane Six's children... who don't exactly all get along with each other. They, alongside Discord's daughter Cackle, travel together to investigate the secrets the map holds, and perhaps bring joy back into their world.
Due to a series of hiatuses affecting the author's original chapter plans, the story is written in a blend of character descriptions, prose chapters with themed artwork attached, and summaries of what additional chapters would have entailed.
----
!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: [[spoiler:Snails and Big Macintosh, now Orchard Blossom]], are now transgender women instead of presumably cisgender stallions.
* AwfulWeddedLife: Trenderhoof and Applejack are described as a "sitcom family" relationship, in that Trenderhoof is an "idiot husband" and Applejack is a WetBlanketWife. They do allegedly love each other, but spend a lot of time fighting.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe:
** Tootsie Flute got with her childhood crush, Truffle Shuffle, because he comforted her when she was dealing with her mothers' divorce.
** Big Macintosh's relationship with Twilight started because he returned her childhood doll to her when she was suffering massive grief, and she started seeing him more often whenever she needed company.
* BigBadWannabe Aquablaze wants to be a real villain like their parents, but they're just an ineffective manipulative {{jerkass}}. They even ran away from home to try and engineer their own FreudianExcuse.
* BlindingBangs: Misty Mizzle's mane covers her eyes, making her look more reclusive. This is good for Rainbow Dash, given Misty has her father's eyes.
* ButchLesbian: Spitfire and Braeburn's daughter [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Afterburner-756917955 Aferburner]] is a butchy lesbian cloud seeder who dabbles in machinery, considered very attractive to every sapphic creature in Cloudsdale.
* CampGay: Applejack's son Zestar! is a dramatic, flamboyant gay stallion who enjoys makeup and drag.
* ChildByRape:
** Dr. Stables had sex with his patient Screwloose, who was too insane to consent, which resulted in Dusty Dunes. Screwloose is traumatized by the experience and highly protective of Dusty, who fears his father and anybody who looks like him.
** Downplayed with Maigold Apple, who was conceived while Cheerilee and Big Macintosh were under a LovePotion, which is treated as akin to a "date rape drug" here. This has given Maigold some complicated feelings about romance, and she sometimes feels obligated to council others on theirs.
* ClassClown: Sweet Treat, the daughter of Truffle Shuffle and Tootsie Flute, likes to cheer others up in her class with silly pranks.
* CloneAngst: [[spoiler:Peggy is actually one of the last surviving Pinkie clones from "Too Many Pinkie Pies." Twilight killing her "sisters" has left her traumatized, and she desperately tries to avoid looking or acting too much like Pinkie so she can have her own identity.]]
* ComingOutStory: One subplot involves two ponies coming out as trans women: [[spoiler:Big Mac, who changes her name to Orchard Blossom, and Snails, who does not change her name]]. [[spoiler:Snails']] journey goes fairly smoothly, but [[spoiler:Orchard]] has a more difficult time as she's worried about further upsetting her neurotic wife.
* CoolOldLady: Lily Lighty, a bug-loving, young-at-heart old lady who treats Maigold like her own granddaughter and mentors her in potion-making. This is invoked as she's actually [[spoiler:Ocellus in a disguise]].
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Part of why Saffron Masala was attracted to Zephyr Breeze was because her dad thought he was bad news and she wasn't fully out of her rebellious phase. Of course, her father turned out to be right as Zephyr quit working with Saffron after their whirlwind romance and left her before realizing she was pregnant.
* DeadSparks: Rainbow Dash is both unsatisfied with Soarin's lack of drive and his "unfulfilling" sex life, which is what drives her to her one-night stand with Zephyr, justifying it to herself as "getting back" at Soarin' for not "fulfilling her needs."
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: As explained in [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Pipsqueak-842532166 Pipsqueak's bio]], Luna doesn't consider the age gap between her and Pipsqueak to be as big a deal as some might due to her missing out on so much of modern times, as the age of consent wasn't as strong an issue a thousand years ago.
* DelicateAndSickly: Miracle is chronically ill, possibly due to her dragon-pony hybrid status, and frequently seen with a runny nose. Her parents tend to shelter and dote on her because of this, despite her longing for adventure.
* DevelopmentGag:
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Starlight-Glimmer-685183564 Starlight's design]] is taken from [[https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/9/92/Art_of_Equestria_page_108_-_Starlight_Glimmer_concept_art.png/revision/latest?cb=20151014045148 one of her concept art designs.]]
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Luna-702405755 The mane on Luna's older design]] is inspired by her beta design, Selena.
* DomesticAbuse: Limestone broke Zephyr's wings to prevent him from running out on her, and continues to threaten him under the guise of BDSM.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Maigold has called Galaxy Gazer "Pinkadink" since childhood, which the moody colt does not appreciate.
* EnfanteTerrible: Harrow Crisp is an "evil little shit" despite her adorable appearance. Only Sonata seems aware of this.
* EveryoneHasStandards: While Bellicoso Bash is a bully, she thinks Lionheart is too mean, and disapproves of him stealing money and toys from other kids.
* EmoTeen: Galaxy Gazer, formerly known as [[EmbarrassingName Pink Sparkle Apple]], is a moody teenage nihilist who refuses to make friends like his mother insists.
* {{Expy}}: While some characters have color palettes or other traits taken from other media, other characters are simply pony versions of other characters.
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/The-Troublehugger-Siblings-753594355 Treehugger and Troubleshoes' children]], minus Sweet Salvia, are all based off the Lane family in ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}.''
** Diamond Tiara's children are based off the main characters of ''Theatre/{{Heathers}}''. Croquet Mallet is Veronica, right down to the nostalgia for when her classmates were nicer; Charming Chandelier is Heather Chandler, the dramatic AlphaBitch of the group; Daisy Dukes is Heather Duke, the cruel BetaBitch; and Mellow Mascara is Heather [=MacNamara=], who goes along with her sisters just to fit in. Stormy Skies also takes inspiration from Martha Dunnstock, while Lionheart is Jason Dean and Croquet's love interest.
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Princess-Imago-941305702 Imago is based off the titular deformed child in Creator/HideshiHino's comic ''Hell Baby'', but given a happier ending.
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Marie-Berlioz-and-Toulouse-943705771 Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse]] are Abyssinian versions of the kittens from ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats''.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Cackle is a prankster who enjoys annoying Accordance, who is far more organized and responsible than her older sister and serves as Twilight's correspondent.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Big-Macintosh-684354713 Big Macintosh's design]] has long, feminine hair, and the description mentions that Big Mac relates to Galaxy Gazer exploring his identity and "he wishes his wife would let him figure out who he wants to be without pushing him to be something he might not want to be." This all hints that [[spoiler:Big Mac is actually a closeted trans woman who can't explore her identity publicly due to concerns she'd upset Twilight.]]
* FormerChildStar:
** Tessitura Tune became a famous singer as a filly thanks to her famous mother and stage dad, and grew up playing up a personable image for the spotlight. When she turned eighteen, she partied harder due to the pressure and became more infamous for alcohol and drug abuse.
** Averted with Baby Blues, who also became famous at a young age, to highlight the difference between her and Tessi. Since Coco allows her more personal time and didn't let her pop star identity get confused with her real self, Baby is much better able to control her image without letting it harm her mental health, and she's in fact quite good at manipulation.
* FourthWallObserver: Deconstructed with [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Discord-697269734 Discord]]. Discord is aware he is part of a television show, so when the point of divergence happens to start the AU, he becomes aware he's not being "watched" anymore, meaning he had no obligation to perform his silly gags for a target audience or be bound to any rules of canon whatsoever. He is now able to acknowledge death, sex, and queer identities, and is aware these topics are censored in his usual canon. However, since nobody but him could understand what this meant, [[TragicClown he just had to pretend nothing was wrong, distracting himself by messing with Celestia]].
* GentleGiant: Maltster Apple-Pie, Marble's son, is the biggest and fattest child in the Pie family, but also quite delicate and fond of cleaning and cheering up children. He even has a teddy bear cutie mark.
* GentleTouchVsFirmHand: While Rainbow Dash likes to push her children to succeed, her husband Soarin' is more laid-back and dotes on their daughters. This dissonance extends to their marriage, as Rainbow thinks Soarin' lacks ambition and Soarin' thinks Rainbow pushes him too hard.
* HandsOffParenting: Troubleshoes and Treehugger let their children raise themselves due to Treehugger's hippie beliefs and Troubleshoes' concern that his bad luck could affect his children.
* HearingVoices: Claystone Pie suffers intense psychosis and intrusive thoughts that convince her that everybody else is judging her and admonish her for anything that could be considered a "sin." She once "heard" her mother say something so terrible that she threw a vase at her, scarring Pinkie's throat.
* HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs: Bluebelle's stoner ramblings actually allow her to consider the meta nature of the story she's in, pondering, "What if, like, the world can be changed... like... if I wasn't born, or you, what if we were like, super important and like, not having us around bucks up the universe?" This also serves as {{foreshadowing}} given the main catalyst for the Miracleverse is [[spoiler:Flurry Heart's stillbirth]].
* HypotheticalCasting: Starry has assigned the main characters of the work [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Main-Cast-VA-Meme-808557858 hypothetical voice actors]].
* IsntItIronic: Deliberately done with some of the song-themed artwork depicting the Mane Six's dysfunctional relationships. Music/KellyClarkson's "Miss Independent" is the title of [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miss-Independent-763964920 a piece of art]] about an independent woman settling for a man instead of a {{tsundere}} accepting love into her life.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: One of Bluebelle's stoner ramblings raises the question of what the world would be like if she and others didn't exist, alluding to her being part of an AlternateUniverseFic.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Zestar! is a "gayer, more flamboyant version" of his father Trenderhoof, as he's quite vain and judgmental of others, especially (though not exclusively in Zestar!'s case) when it comes to fashion.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon:
** Pastel Parabola is an ObsessivelyOrganized introverted accountant, which makes it difficult for her to get along with her athletic Wonderbolt parents.
** Bellicoso Bash isn't a gamer like her father or a performer like her mother; she's a rough-and-tumble bully who's meaner than them both.
** While his mother is the Princess of Friendship, Galaxy Gazer thinks friendship is meaningless.
* LonelyTogether: Moondancer and Prince Blueblood got together largely out of loneliness, with Blueblood being a narcissist who wanted someone to validate that he's generous and Moondancer not having many friends.
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: Soarin' tries not to question the fact his daughter Misty Mizzle doesn't look much like him, just as much as Rainbow Dash likes to ignore the fact Misty was conceived after an affair with Zephyr Breeze.
* MamaBear: As per her aggressive personality, Limestone seeks out anybody who hurts her daughter Evenkite with borderline murderous intentions.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The hardworking farmer Apple Bloom is married to the sensitive dancer Tender Taps.
* MentorInQueerness: Sonata Apple looks up to their CampGay cousin Zestar!, who encouraged Sona to embrace their nonbinary identity and that fashion had no gender.
* MisaimedFandom: InUniverse, Galaxy Gazer misunderstands Neightzche's work to ''just'' be about how existence is meaningless, and not the more complex subjects inside, because he thinks it makes him "cool and edgy."
* MoralityPet: Belli is TheBully to almost everyone... except her cousin Miracle, who she treats very gently and will defend with her life.
* MyBelovedSmother: Luna dotes on her son Halfpint Moon, keeping him from going too far, too long, or too fast. This has made him a bit cowardly, though he enjoys when his father allows him to "rebel" in small ways by just flying around a bit by himself.
* MythologyGag: [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Old-Lady-Lightly-738046752 Lily Lightly's design]] is loosely based on both a pony of the same name from WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3 and Applejack's design in the same generation.
* NeatFreak: Maltster spends a lot of time stressing and cleaning up after his messy cousins, since he can't do any of the more strenuous physical labor.
* OneNightStandPregnancy:
** Misty Mizzle is the result of Raindow Dash cheating on her husband with Zephyr Breeze in an act of sexual frustration and desperation. However, she pretends the baby is Soarin's.
** Dr. Stables and Screwloose conceived their child during a brief period of time when Screwloose's condition seemed to be returning. However, she never became sane enough to consent, so her pregnancy caused a ''huge'' stir.
** Zecora met Temple Chant while searching for new ingredients, and after an awkward hookup, they parted ways. She didn't see the need to get back in touch with him when she found out she was pregnant with Pundamilia.
** Mellow Mascara came from a one-night stand between Diamond Tiara and Pipsqueak "that went nowhere" before the latter was about to join the royal guard.
** Gilda and Gustave conceived their son Giovanni during a one-night stand while Gilda worked at Gustave's bakery.
** Braeburn and Marble conceived Maltster during a one-night stand after meeting at the market while Braeburn was on a break from his wife Spitfire. He didn't intend to have a relationship with her, and unfortunately couldn't stay when Marble got pregnant because of his marriage.
* OperationJealousy: It's implied the only reason Lyra and Bon Bon got with their respective husbands was to show off to each other after they noticed the other one was talking up a stallion as well. They even rushed their weddings to compete with each other.
* {{Paparazzi}}: Zipporwhill and Featherweight's daughter Shutterbug is a freelance paparazza who stalks Tessitura Tune and Baby Blues for hot gossip. Baby Blues curries favor with her while Zestar! loathes her.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Tessi and Zestar! are very close childhood friends, with Zestar! only having her best interests in mind as her manager. Zestar! being gay and Tessi being aro-ace prevents them from being anything more.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Generic Hearts is a gentle therapist who shows compassion to his clients, while his twin brother Bland Hearts is more cynical and judgmental with a tendency towards unhelpful BrutalHonesty.
* PowerDynamicsKink:
** Starlight is a ChubbyChaser who uses magic to overfeed her partner Sunburst, but she also seems to specifically like being able to control him.
** One of the reasons Rarity was attracted to adult Spike was because she was allured by the "predator and prey" angle of [[InterspeciesRomance dating a dragon]], comparing it to romance novels about dating marewolves and bat-ponies.
* QuestionableConsent: Rarity and Spike's AgeGapRomance is highly controversial in-universe due to Rarity knowing Spike as a child and hooking up with him on his twenty-first birthday while drunk. Applejack accuses her of grooming him, which damages their friendship for quite some time, and Twilight is also quite unnerved when she finds out.

* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Marble-Pie-770370279 Marble Pie's story]] is that she always yearned for a storybook romance, and went for a one-night stand with Braeburn because she could picture a whole idyllic life with him. Unfortunately, she ended up pregnant and learned Braeburn was already married, though she hopes Braeburn may come back for her and Maltster someday.
* TragicStillbirth: [[spoiler:Flurry Heart was born dead in this AU, which depressed the entire Crystal Empire so badly, it shattered the Crystal Heart and plunged the empire into eternal winter. Cadence and Shining Armor were lost in the storm, and despite surviving, Cadence was corrupted by her grief into a perpetually-mourning creature known as "Decadence."]]
* TransTribulations: Cackle suffers severe gender dysphoria, which gives her a negative and ugly self-image. This is made worse by her "male" dolphin traits, which give her intense sexual feelings that she worries will make her a predator.
* TraumaButton: Peggy becomes extremely anxious around paint and spiral magic. This is because [[spoiler:the other Pinkie clones were killed via Twilight's spiral-shaped spell while watching paint dry]].
* UnfortunateNames: Generic Hearts and Bland Hearts both dislike their first names, and Generic prefers to go by "Gene."
* WeightWoe: Stormy Skies is a chubby filly, and her mother wants her to lose weight as she suspects that's keeping her from flying. Unfortunately this just makes Stormy more stressed, so she eats more and gains more weight.
* WhaleEgg: Because Accordance is half-draconequus, her alicorn mother Celestia laid her as an egg rather than the mammalian birth typical of most ponies. Discord finds this delightfully unconventional.
* WhamEpisode: [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Stitchwork-Shine-657863386 Stitchwork Shine's biography]] serves as TheReveal for the diverging point of the Miracleverse, as it finally explains how [[spoiler:Cadence and Shining Armor's child being stillborn]] caused the Crystal Empire to freeze over and Cadence and Shining Armor togo missing, which explains why so many characters seem to be dealing with emotional trauma.
* WhatDoTheyFearEpisode: One series of drawings depicts the characters' fears, as [[NightmareFuelColoringBook illustrated by the characters themselves.]] Peggy suffers [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-1-Gyrephobia-740456953 a fear of spiral magic]], Dusty Dunes is afraid of [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-4-Syngenesophobia-740461759 his father]], Zestar! is afraid of [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-5-Pharmacophobia-740463541 Tessitura overdosing]], Tessitura is afraid of [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-6-Virginitiphobia-Agraphobia-740464867 Baby Blues sexually assaulting her]], Cackle has [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-3-Dysmorphophobia-740460335 terrifying gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia]], Bellicosa is afraid of [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-2-Panthophobia-740459252 Miracle dying]], and Miracle herself is [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Fears-7-Coimetrophobia-740466762 afraid of dying and breaking her loved ones' hearts]].
* WorkingWithTheEx: [[https://www.deviantart.com/starryoak/art/Miracleverse-Chiffon-Swirl-843143674 Chiffon Swirl]] (the former Mrs. Cake) is divorced from Carrot Cake, but still runs the bakery with him for convenience's sake.
