Chemistry
is a nonstandard My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic shipfic by fuzzyfurvert.
The story takes the fanon idea of Cadance being the Goddess of Love (and, to a degree, Lust) and takes it to its natural extreme. Cadance has trouble with her libido to the point where it's an addiction. Cadance is especially attracted to someone she shouldn't be: her sister-in-law Twilight Sparkle.
Despite the premise, the story isn't a sexual as it sounds. It's rated T on FIM Fiction Dot Net and only alludes to Cadance's condition. For the most part, it's a dark and psychological take on Twilight/Cadance ship.
This fic provides examples of:
- Dark Fic: Cadance's special talent results in her having a sex addiction. However, it's treated as an annoying and serious medical condition, rather than something to be fetishized. Chemistry also deals with the psychological and moral ramifications of Cadance's feelings towards her sister-in-law.
- Dead Fic: The story hasn't been updated since January 2017.
- Extreme Omnisexual: Played for Drama and deconstructed. Cadance being a Goddess of Love comes with a natural attraction to others. It's a medical condition she's had since she was a teenager.
- A Family Affair: Downplayed. Cadance is attracted to her husband's younger sister Twilight, but it's likely unrequited.
- Mature Animal Story: Chemistry is an adult-aimed fic about a married winged unicorn with a sex-related addiction.
- Oh, My Gods!: Twilight exclaims "By Faust!", referencing G4's creator Lauren Faust.
- Slash Fic: Despite being married to her brother, Cadance has feelings for her old friend Twilight Sparkle. Whether Twilight has any for her are up in the air.
- Titled After the Song: Each title is named after a song from The '80s.
- Virtual Soundtrack: Each chapter is titled after a song that acts as its soundtrack.
