** {{spoiler|The evening after Kim and Shego declare their love for each other, Kim starts undressing in front of Shego, thinking that's what she wants and expects. Shego stops her, because she knows that [[Let's Wait a While|neither of them is ready]] for that yet.}} |
||
** {{spoiler|After they get home, Kim tries to push away her memories of being Shego's lover and fears of being publicly known as a lesbian by seducing Ron. He stops her, because he knows that she's not herself and thinks of her more like a sister.}} |

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Subverted. Shego's father {{spoiler|molested her once}}, then wanted nothing to do with her. Kim hypothesizes that {{spoiler|he might have wanted to forget it ever happened.}} Shego still considers what he did to be wrong, but now she regrets never trying to talk it over with him. |

* [[Instant Expert]]: Averted hard. It takes Kim months of study before she even ''recognizes'' most of the symbols in Drakken's notes, and years before she starts to make any real progress toward getting back home. |

* [[Jerk |
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Will Du, especially obvious after he and Shego spend some time together. May also count as a [[Defrosting Ice Queen|defrosting ice king]] of the non-romantic type. |
||
* [[Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better]]: After being chased by a pack of wild dogs and finding that she couldn't throw plasma balls fast enough to keep them at bay, Shego decided that they needed to start carrying guns (despite Kim's misgivings). |

* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Kim and Ron. Kim, unable to deal with the realization that she and Shego were lovers in the Other World, {{spoiler|tries to prove to herself that she's straight by seducing Ron. He stops her, partly because of this trope and partly because he can tell that something is wrong.}} Afterwards, she talks to Ron about her memories and feelings, which helps a great deal. |

* [[No Matter How Much I Beg]]: After the [[My God, What Have I Done?]] incident mentioned above, Shego goes to Global Justice headquarters and turns herself in, with the intent of dropping out of Kim's life while she finishes growing up. |

* [[No You Hang Up First]]: When Shego calls Kim to arrange a meeting to compare notes about their experiences, they end up doing this. Ultimately, the phone conversation continues until it's time to leave for the face-to-face meeting. |

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Kim and Shego lived for two decades in the Other World, and return home at the same physical age they were when they left. |

* [[Paparazzi]]: Kim and Shego are caught in a passionate kiss by a horde of camera-wielding newspeople in the last chapter, [[Coming Out Story|revealing Kim's secret]] and triggering her fear of how people will react. The situation seems only one more obnoxious shouted question away from Kim melting down in public, or the assembled media melting down under a barrage of green plasma. {{spoiler|Ron, however, manages to defuse the crisis nicely with a bit of [[Shaming the Mob]].}} |

* [[Throw the Dog |
* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: One of the few [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Kigo]] stories out there that actually leaves Drakken in a better place than he had been in at the beginning. {{spoiler|He manages to prove his genius and Kim even becomes his intern at the end.}} |
||
* [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save |
* [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World]]: This is the one area (other than the [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Kigo]] relationship) where this fic noticeably diverges from [[Canon]]. It treats Team Possible as informal Global Justice auxiliaries rather than as freelancers; as a result, they get sidelined when Dr. Director notices that Kim is behaving oddly. This could be considered an example of [[Pragmatic Adaptation]], since the absence of missions allows for greater focus on Kim's personal issues. |

** After Kim has gleaned all she can from Drakken's notes and the local libraries, she and Shego take a long trip around the country, visiting science labs and following up leads in Drakken's correspondence. |
