* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: It has been stated by [[Word of God]] that the official song for Black and Gold is ofcourse "Symmetry" by Falling Up (of course). "Reckless Youth" by Pillar and "Sweet Sacrifice" by Evanescence are also given mention. |

* [[Die for Our Ship]]: Purposely averted. OAS states that she really wanted Kid to have a love interest, and the best way to give him a worthy and equal pairing was to create a counterpart. Canon characters aren't used much because the author fears writing them OOC. |

* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: ''Everywhere.'' The whole reason OAS' reveals come off as so damn shocking is that she lays these subtle hints ''all over'' her work, and then never draws attention to them again, so that they all add up to a big [[Wham Episode]].

** For example, go back and pay very close attention to {{spoiler|how L.J. met Kira.}} No, just how that situation occurred is not an [[Aborted Arc]], [[Red Herring Twist]] or [[Noodle Incident]]. It's pretty damn important. |

* [[Growing the Beard]]: The story matures from slapstick and playful humor to a rather dark, psychological study of maturity and fractured families. |
