Murderer's Row/YMMV


 * Archive Binge: There's over a hundred and fifteen chapters, plus eight ridiculously long flashback chapters and some one-shots. It'll suck you in.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: North. For a whining Butt Monkey OC Stand In with little impact on the plot, he's strangely popular with the readers.
 * Harsher in Hindsight: Grif once references the high rate of injuries and speculates that Simmons will be next because he hasn't been hurt yet.
 * Holy Shit Quotient: The later flashback chapters tend to veer upwards with the HSQ. As did part 109.
 * Iron Woobie: Donut. He goes through a lot of shit in the prison, including being a magnet for vicious attacks that leave him hospitalized for 35 chapters. But he never, ever gives up and just continues toughing it out. To put it in his own words, 'If I gave up whenever things got difficult, then I would have kicked the bucket when my roommate attacked me.'
 * Jerkass Woobie: Wash. There's no denying that the guy is a complete asshole, and half-psychotic to boot. But factor in the backstory and it's easy to see why. Whether he's more Jerkass or Woobie depends on the chapter.
 * Mind Game Ship: Doc and O'Malley, which is little more than O'Malley constantly playing around with him and threatening to hurt other people if Doc stays away.
 * Tear Jerker:
 * Much to do with Tucker being separated from Junior is somewhat tearjerking, but the worst is when Tucker gets blinded and realises that he'll never be able to see Junior's pictures again or see Junior grow up.
 * The Woobie: Several characters could qualify. Donut is the Iron variety, as mentioned above. Doc is another example, especially considering O'Malley's constant hounding of him. Caboose could qualify, but considering how violent and twisted Caboose is in this, his woobie status is more questionable.
