Dalton

""My problem is that my plans got as far as actually going to Dalton. Now that I'm actually here, I realize that I've made absolutely no plans as to what I intend to happen to me here. Fortunately, I have Blaine, David and Wes to, for better or worse, lead me to some direction.""

 * Bash Brothers: Evan and Ethan with their antics.
 * Bastard Boyfriend: Logan.
 * The Beard: Shane has had a few.
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: Julian and Logan, at times. Of course,.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: It's relatively tame, but Reed gets a pretty nice moment with his competition in episode 26.
 * Billy Needs an Organ:
 * Black Magic: Dwight's practiced this before, most notably when
 * Blonde Guys Are Evil: Logan's blond.
 * ...Yes, but the "evil" part is becoming a bit of a grey area, especially considering Character Development and light shed on his... many issues.
 * One of the signs that
 * Brilliant but Lazy: Han Westwood, who never leaves his technology infested room, but all the same keeps an eye on the campus with security cameras.
 * Butt Monkey: Dwight, even members of his own house love to tease him constantly about his rather obtuse belief in the supernatural.
 * Cast Full of Gay: There's Kurt, Blaine, Logan, Shane, and Reed.
 * ... and Julian, Adam, Jude, Micah, Erin, Rebecca, and
 * Cast Full of Pretty Boys: Comes with the territory of being set in a boys' One-Gender School.
 * Blaine looks like - of course - Darren Criss, Kurt looks like Chris Colfer, and ditto on the rest of the Glee cast.
 * It's been decided that Shane looks like Robert Sheehan.
 * Reed resembles a very young Benedict Cumberbatch, when he had his natural red hair.
 * Actually, Reed is much shorter and has longer, curlier hair; finding a fancast for him was extremely hard, and this was the best that the wiki administrator could come up with after hours of searching. This is also why Reed has been replaced with fanart.
 * Jude resembles Logan Lerman.
 * Erin looks like Emily Browning.
 * Basically, it's a Ridiculously Attractive Cast.
 * Catch Phrase: Talking flowers!
 * Also Dwight's occasional exclamations of Castiel.
 * Celeb Crush: Well, that's putting it lightly.

 * Cute Bookworm: Micah
 * Dead Little Brother:
 * Deadpan Snarker: Almost everyone.
 * Death Glare: Wes and David to Logan, repeatedly.
 * Kurt to everyone, repeatedly.
 * Down the Rabbit Hole: Lampshaded by the Alice in Wonderland nicknames given to all of the characters by the twins, although it does make you wonder what they called everyone before Kurt appeared.
 * Actually, the Twins have referred to themselves as the Tweedles since childhood. They met Logan in middle school and he titled himself as the Knave - the whole thing kind of snowballed from there.

 * Jerkass: To an extent, Logan.

 * Kick the Dog:  in episode 26, combined with Kick Them While They Are Down.


 * The Klutz: Reed. Tripping into fireplaces, cutting himself on soda cans, choking on Skittles...
 * Let Us Never Speak of This Again: Played with, as there is many a Noodle Incident at Dalton, such as Blaine's arrival; also, the fact that
 * Limited Social Circle: The main characters — Wes, David, Kurt, Blaine, Ethan and Evan, Reed and Dwight — seem to do everything together, even
 * Looney Fan: Adam
 * Love At First Sight:
 * Love Epiphany: Possibly what caused Reed's tears
 * Love Triangle: Type 4 of Triang Relations, between Logan, Blaine, and Kurt. Very few people, if any, actually believe Logan stands a chance.

 * One could also see Reed as this, as he is The Klutz of the story.
 * Mama Bear: Merril, for Hanover House.
 * Married to the Job: Word of God says this is Dwight.

 * Mysterious Past: Blaine and Logan, but is later averted.

 * Freudian Trio: Perhaps with Julian as The Id, Logan as The Superego and Derek as The Ego.
 * Precision F-Strike: There's not much swearing until . There are a few F-bombs, then it goes back to ... not much swearing.
 * Used epically by Logan of all people in one of the side stories,
 * Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: Tabitha, screaming like a banshee...
 * Psycho Smirk:  is known for this.
 * Real Life Counterpart: The actual Warblers actors on Glee have read this fic. One, Aaron Page, has "claimed" the part of Logan. It's in his Twitter bio.
 * Rule of Funny: The story often abandons logic and plausibility to get laughs. Kurt, ordinarily reserved and decorous, now runs through the hallways singing and flinging clothing everywhere.
 * Dwight honestly believes in Supernatural.
 * The Windsor boys find Kurt's cookies extremely desirable, to the point that they're fighting each other for them. Naturally, they're also willing to give each other the bowl to try one. Yet, as CP has declared, they really ARE just regular cookies.

 * Team Mom: Merril for Hanover House.
 * Took a Level In Badass: Kurt screaming at Tabitha and calling her a "last-season Prada princess."

 * Dwight's everything in Hell Night.
 * Also, credit has to be given to
 * Transsexualism: Merril Portman, the first and only girl at Dalton.
 * Twin Banter: Ethan and Evan again.
 * Uke: Julian isn't quite the typical uke, but he is very much a diva, along with the fact that he's both more emotional (at least internally) and shorter . Then there's the recent revelation that he , which is pretty important.
 * Reed fits this trope very well. He's clumsy, easily flustered, and both shorter and more "baby-ish" than, even though he's.
