Line 39:
* [[Dark Fic]]: Did you have to ask?
* [[Did We Just Have Tea With Cthulhu?]]: Our neighborhood demon magnet, Xander Harris, is now dating Illyria.
* [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?]]: This has become the standard modus operandi for dealing with Illyria's alien perspective, though it only works off and on. Most recently, {{spoiler|Xander manages to scam Illyria into saving Amy's soul from Korsheth...but she fails to outwit him, being behind the times on demon law.}}
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Played with and partially inverted by Dena, who loves to drive--and must be good at it, or she'd be in a lot more wrecks than she is. She terrifies passengers anyway.
** [[Dynamic Entry]]: When confronted with a pair of seeming angels, Dena decides to let them do as they please. Then the normally nonviolent Regan arrives on the scene in a borrowed pickup truck....
Line 57:
* [[Hilarity Sues]]: 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 71:
* [[Nay Theist]]: Brittany Morgan, Slayer. Not surprising, given who her Aunt Lilah worked for; the only "gods" she's familiar with are [[Jerkass Gods|jerkasses or worse]].
* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: Played with, beginning with a vampiric bartender whose main evil trait is greed rather than sadism or a love of fighting.
* [[PreachersPreacher's Kid]]: Dena manages to play both variants at once--incredibly straight-laced fundamentalist who indulges in massively violent beatdowns on any demon within reach.
* [[Put Down Your Gun and Step Away]]: A Jasminite demon tries to use this on {{spoiler|human Angel}}. He's [[Genre Savvy]] enough to keep the hostage's head mostly in front of his own, but Michelle uses vampiric dexterity to plug the demon anyway. (The hostage gets grazed in the ear.)
* [[Script Fic]]: The two sideline plots, ''Schism'' and ''Haven'', are currently written in this format, as it was popular on BuffyWorld forums at the time the fic began. This may change.
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: Buffy, oh so very much. The number of Slayers who also fit the trope is rising suspiciously fast. Hint: {{spoiler|Slayers dream of the lives of past (and present) Slayers. Wonder where those memories come from?}}
* [[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 (TV)|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 In 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.
