I haven't read this specific fanfic in detail. But generally, in fanfics about Nightmare Moon's return in My Little Pony, they often explore themes like redemption, the struggle between good and evil, and the impact on Equestria.

The fanfic could be unique in how it weaves the plot. Maybe it combines different story arcs from the My Little Pony universe in a new way. For instance, incorporating elements from different seasons or specials to create a fresh narrative around Nightmare Moon's return. Also, the use of unique writing styles, like a more poetic or dark tone, can set it apart from other fanfics.
The themes of forgiveness and acceptance are quite common. Twilight may have to forgive Nightmare Moon for her past actions and accept her as she is or as she can be. Inversely, Nightmare Moon has to accept Twilight's offer of friendship. There's also the theme of self - discovery.

And sometimes, there's a theme of facing a common enemy where they have to put aside their differences and work together using their unique magical abilities.
One possible plot could be that Prim uses her knowledge of herbs and medicine to create traps that either incapacitate or mislead other tributes.

Well, 'Twilight and Nightmare Moon: A New Beginning' is a fanfic that's quite interesting.

As she tries to figure out what to do with it, she gets drawn into a journey where she has to interact with Nightmare Moon. This leads to a series of events where they both learn from each other. And then there's 'Nightmare Moon's Return and Twilight's Dilemma' which shows how Twilight has to deal with Nightmare Moon coming back in a different form.
