{{tropelist}}
Tropes appearing in ''DeadWar'':
 
* [[Actual Pacifist]]: Regan Stacey (a Wiccan Slayer) is trying to be this. In practice, she wavers between this and a [[Reluctant Warrior]].
* [[Ascended Fanboy|Ascended Fangirl]]: November Hall, Slayer, is a Trekkie with a thing for Klingons. She attempts to use [[Improbable Weapon User|a wooden bat'leth.]] It doesn't work too well.
Line 55 ⟶ 54:
* [[The Fundamentalist]]: Dena Greer, Slayer. See also [[Knight Templar]].
* [[Groin Attack]]: Harmony gives Xander a vampire-powered one {{spoiler|when she discovers he's under Buffy's thrall and he attacks her}}. Dena Greer delivers one to a jock who calls her a [[Curse Cut Short|"dy-"]].
* [[HilaritySued Suesfor Superheroics]]: A group of vampires and demons threaten to have some of the Slayers arrested {{spoiler|after they [[Reality Ensues|bomb Caritas]]}}.
* [[Hybrid Monster]]: Buffy still has all her Slayer powers. Some of them are stronger than before.
* [[I Knew It!]]: Vamp!Buffy's attitude toward vampirism in this fic is ''extremely'' similar to vamp!Gunn's perspective in ''Angel: After the Fall'', which began over a year later. Very unlikely that it's a [[Sure Why Not]], though nothing's impossible.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian|I'm A Vampire-tarian]]: {{spoiler|Drusilla}}'s fate, and not just in the blood-drinking way.
* [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad]]: {{spoiler|Drusilla}} certainly came to regret turning Buffy. Angel's not too pleased about his partial responsibility either.
Line 77 ⟶ 76:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Many, naturally, but makes a rare foray out of Buffyverse territory when Regan arrives on the scene with two other witches. Theme music from ''[[Charmed]]'' begins to play...then stops when they tell her she needs to fight this fight herself.
* [[Standard Female Grab Area]]: Utterly subverted. Grabbing a Slayer or female vampire this way will get you punched in the face or slammed against the wall, if you're lucky. Angel in particular makes this mistake with Brittany.
* [[Stringy -Haired Ghost Girl]]: A rare non-Japanese example, namely {{spoiler|Justine}}.
* [[Suicide Attack]]: [[Shout-Out|"We belong dead."]]
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Harmony's taking combat lessons from Faith. It's working.
* [[Transhuman Treachery]]: Averted by Buffy...which makes the situation ''worse'' than it would be otherwise.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Inadvertantly created between Giles and Sadha Kaur (who, after all, does look like [[Aishwarya Rai]]). The author was soon asked for [[Lemon]] fic involving the pairing. Soon thereafter, though, Sadha left Giles' cast herd.
