{{tropelist}}

* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: In ''For Love of Evil'', Satan tries to meet up with the other Incarnations and make friends. With the exception of Chronos, they treat him utterly like crap, to the point of watching while Gaea [[Black Comedy Rape|has him raped by an ape]].

** Also, some historical events are changed in-series, up to and including {{spoiler|Satan manipulating Chronos into preventing [[World War II]] and the Holocaust}}.

* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]: Pretty much the basis of the entire story.

* [[Best Her to Bed Her]]: Asian Clotho in With A Tangled Skein; she only falls in love with Samurai after he defeats her in combat and shows her her place.

** That being said, she was using the Sword of War in the fight, and was therefore literally incapable of losing. She forfeited the match so that Samurai wouldn't be humiliated in front of his students.

* [[Sympathetic POV]]: The sixth book.

* [[Tangled Family Tree]]: A mild one as things go, but the Kaftan family still has to deal with time travel, prophecies, and temporary agelessness, leading to Niobe's daughter and first granddaughter being born about the same time, and Niobe herself screwing her second granddaughter's affair from the future. Come to think of it, we should be very grateful that Incarnations can't reproduce.

* [[Time Stands Still]]: Chronos and Thanatos can both do this, though Thanatos only because Chronos lets him.

** Mars can do it as well and its implied that all Incarnations can do it. One of the Office of Time's duties is to allow to the other Incarnations to stop time when it is necessary for them to perform their duties.

* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Zane, while not exactly ugly, is average at best, while Luna is one of the most beautiful women of her generation. Zane was also destined to marry a comparably beautiful and rich woman before a shady salesman tricked him into giving up this destiny.

* [[Vapor Wear]]: Gaea (the one before Orb) and Lilah. Gaea because she [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|doesn't really see the point in clothing]], Lilah because she's [[Horny Devils|a succubus]].

* [[World's Most Beautiful Woman]]: Niobe for her generation, her daughter Orb for her generation, and her granddaughter (via her son) Luna for ''her'' generation.

* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: The office of Death is transferred this way. This is also one of the ways the office of Evil can be transferred.

* [[You Must Be Cold]]: Death gives Luna his cloak once.
