Now has a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/AStudyInRegret character sheet] under construction.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Mary Watson, [[Hidden Depths|of all people!]]
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Moran to [[Big Bad]], Lestrade to [[Deuteragonist]], and Mary to supporting female. [[Team Mom|Literally.]]
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* [[Birth Death Juxtaposition]]
* [[Choke Holds]]: As part of Moran's [[Villainous Breakdown]] (see below), he starts to throttle Holmes.
* [[Cold
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Watson and Holmes never stood a chance against Moran and his [[Mook]].
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: [[Sarcasm Mode|In case you didn't get that,]] already.
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
* [[Manly Tears]]: It's not just Holmes, either - in fact, he once weeps because he sees ''[[Not So Stoic|Lestrade]]'' weeping.
* [[Bilingual Bonus|Multilingual Bonus]]: There's a ''lot'' of untranslated French and German in the flashbacks, plus ''translated'' French and German later on.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Invoked by Holmes.
* [[Narrative Profanity Filter]]: Used on occasion, and once with ''Mary''!
{{quote| [[Moment of Awesome|Mary swiftly produces a revolver from somewhere,]] muttering something [[Foreign Cuss Word|decidedly ungenteel in French]] – where did she learn words like that?}}
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
* [[Team Mom]]: The attitudes of the men around Mary make it pretty clear who's in charge, here!
* [[Torture Always Works]]: Holmes is pretty far gone {{spoiler|when Lestrade & Co. rescue him}}.
* [[To the Pain]]: Moran "introduces" [[Snakes Are Evil|his viper Naja]] to [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|a terrified Holmes]].
* [[True Companions]]: Lestrade, Mary, and Marcel.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Poor, poor Marcel.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Moran ''almost'' does this {{spoiler|when Holmes kills his viper.}}
* [[Victorian Britain]]: Averted, making it one of the few period-Sherlockian fics to do so. And the author averts it ''brilliantly''.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Mary delivers a downright cringe-worthy one to Holmes... ironically, berating him for even ''considering'' the ''exact'' same vanishing act he performed in the original stories.
* [[With a Friend And A Stranger]]: Lestrade with Mary... and Marcel.
