Line 8:
And so Nepeta starts her epic shipping quest! [[Hilarity Ensues]]! Complications arise! Trolls become pale or flushed for each other! Black rom and ashen even enter the picture! This promising WIP fic is shaping up to be a Nepeta Quest 2012, and updates fairly regularly (usually a new chapter is added between one and two weeks). It's currently on Chapter 15, and is over 170,000 words long.

=== >Story: Have tropes ===
Line 44:
*** [[The Perry Mason Method]]: How Nepeta is forced to admit she's Eridan's kismesis.
*** [[Smoking Gun]]: Done twice against Nepeta. First, video footage of her hive shows her leaving on the night in question when she tries to claim she spent the entire night at her hive. She then changes her story, by claiming she went out to go on some game quests. Terezi then produces the video footage of her attacking Eridan.
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: The "Sidelines" chapters are notably Nepeta-less.
* [[Death Is Dramatic]]: Discussed and deconstructed by Vriska, of all people, who argues that killing off characters doesn't necessarily make a story more interesting.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Psyche, keeping this doomed timeline from being destroyed.
Line 59:
** [[He's Back|She's Back]]: After a little [[Slap Slap Kiss|hate snogging]] and mock trial from her new kismesis and his matesprite respectively.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: The moirails. So far we have Nepeta/Equius, Vriska/Tavros, and Gamzee/Eridan, with hints of Terezi/Aradia, Sollux/Feferi, and Karkat/Kanaya for the remaining couples.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Eridan really does care for Gamzee and Karkat, and he manages to win over Terezi by [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|being nice to her.]]
* [[Loving a Shadow]]: Eridan for Feferi.
* [[The Matchmaker]]: Nepeta's task.
Line 69:
* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: When Nepeta drops the cat puns (and in the pesterlogs/memoes, her :33< emoticons), it means she's REALLY upset.
* [[Porn Without Plot]]: Not this fic, but Nepeta once wrote one of Feferi/Vriska.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Nepeta, of course. Terezi becomes a black shipper of Nepeta/Eridan after reading Nepeta's [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].
* [[Show Within a Show]]: "The Death of Spinnaret Mindfang" FLARPing session.
** The Trial of Nepeta Leijohn for the attempted murder of Eridan Ampora is a partial version of this. Everyone's roleplaying, but except for Feferi as the judge and Equius as the bailif, everyone's playing themselves based on an incident (Nepeta's attack of Eridan) that has actually happened.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: As Eridan is waiting for Nepeta to get back to him while she chats with Feferi, he complains they could be writing a fanfiction in the time that it's taking them. The first thing Nepeta says when she gets back is, "There was no fiction involved!"
* [[The End - Oror Is It?]]: Vriska insists that despite appearances, Spinnaret and Dolorosa were not killed when they walked the plank.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Nepeta gives an EPIC one to Eridan on why he and Feferi were such lousey moirails and why they'd be even worse matesprits. This not only inspires Eridan to become Nepeta's kismesis, but even to start [[Evil Counterpart|black shipping everyone else.]]
** Karkat delivers one to Vriska at the start.
