The Golden Age

  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Helion taking out a pocket watch and advising Daphne and Phaethon to hurry up and commence making out before the war council convenes.
    • "Helion had determined that no gentleman would wear anything other than formal morning dress on the sun."
  • Iron Woobie: Atkins, and most of the Peers in the end.


War of the Dreaming

  • Alas, Poor Villain:
    • Manannan, the selkie King, who was trying his damndest to keep his people from being utterly destroyed.
    • Arguably Azrael, who wished to make men independent of both Acheron and Heaven.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome:

Pendrake: "Maybe these supernatural beings are pretty tough. Let's see how the magic of modern science stands up to them. I have the presidential emergency launch device in my car and can code in new targets. The bad guys foolishly disabled their own ability to override the launch signal. I can hit any spot on the planet. Let's nuke Acheron.


Chronicles of Chaos

  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Everything near the end of Titans of Chaos. Also, see anything involving the Red Soldier. Even his introduction.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Fugitives of Chaos. Strip tease. See Girl-On-Girl Is Hot for more explanation.
    • Or instead, Colin's conversion experience.
    • At one point, Victor and Quentin carry Colin bodily out of a restaurant after he's made one comment too many. The maitre d' requests an explaination.
