The uniqueness comes from its ability to blend the charm of My Little Pony with the exploration of gay relationships. It takes the already - loved characters and places them in situations that are not only about friendship but also about love in a different context. This type of fanfiction can be a form of self - expression for the writers, who might be part of the LGBTQ+ community themselves or simply supporters. It also challenges the traditional norms of the My Little Pony universe in a creative way, making it stand out among other types of fanfiction.
