Line 39:
* [[Bring Help Back]]: The initial plan when Michael is captured by Lady Ceciel.
* [[Call Back]]: In ''Player's Ruse'' Burke mentions Aquilas, the drug that Michael and Fisk use in ''The Last Knight''.
* [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin']]: Michael hates lying, but the one time Fisk convinces him to just tell a half-truth he ends up beaten by four men.
* [[Capital Letters Are Magic]]: The Gifts.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Aquilas
Line 61:
* [[Ditzy Genius]]: Michael is the one with a formal education. He uses it so rarely that it's almost an [[Informed Attribute]]
* [[Does Not Like Magic]]: Michael is alright with Gifts and magica plants or animals, but genuine human magic freaks him out.
* [[Doing It for The Art]]: Nate Jobber, who was so dedicated that he even considered his forgeries to be works of art, and [[What an Idiot!|hid his signature in them]].
* [[Don't Call Me Sir]]: Michael.
* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: How Fisk supposedly reacted to being dumped by his first love.
* [[Dude, Where's My Reward?]]: Both ''Rogue's Home'' and ''Player's Ruse'' end with the two getting nothing for their help. Technically, they do get a reward for stopping the wreckers, but Michael gives it away before Fisk finds out.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]
* [[Easy Amnesia]]: Inconveniently happens to the witness Jimmy in ''Rogue's Home''.
Line 86:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Fisk is this, for the most part.
* [[Gold Silver Copper Standard]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: The scar on Michael's face is used to identify him (as a suspect) multiple times in ''Rogue's Home''. The flog scars on his back are used to convince anyone who sees him that he's a horrible criminal.
* [[Hanging Judge]]: 'Loves the rope' Thrope.
* [[Hero With Bad Publicity]]: Michael and, by association, Fisk.
Line 110:
* [[Knife Throwing Act]]: Falon's act in the player's troupe.
* [[Knight Errant]]: Michael broadcasts this as his occupation, although the profession has been out of style for two hundred years.
* [[Last
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Supposedly the only thing Fisk can do right is evenly toast his bread.
* [[Leave No Witnesses]]: The wreckers kill anyone who sees them at work.
* [[Legally Dead]]: {{spoiler|Rosamund}}
* [[Lifes Work Ruined]]: Fisk and Michael trash Ceciel's lab, burning all the notes she's taken over the years on magic and destroying all her experimental potions to be extra thorough.
* [[Lord Error
* [[Love Triangle]]: Though Michael worries one will arise between him, Fisk, and Rosamund, it instead occurs with the actor Rudy his rival in love.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: {{spoiler|Lady Ceciel}} turns out to be one in ''The Last Knight''.
Line 126:
* [[Never Heard That One Before]]: The reception Fisk's jokes start to get by the third book.
* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]: Trying to save a 'kidnapped' woman gets Michael arrested, taking the fall for another man gets him flogged, letting Fisk escape Ceceil's guards gets him experimented on, refusing to arrest an innocent woman gets him {{spoiler|marked unredeemed}}, stopping a man from beating a young boy gets him arrested-again, helping to put out a fire gets him chased by a mob, helping arrest a murderer gets him kicked out of town, and trying to save a man who's falling gets him accused of murder. As Fisk says, heroism is ''vastly'' overrated.
* [[No
* [[Noble Fugitive]]: Michael.
* [[The Nondescript]]: Aside from Michael's scar, the two are perfectly average looking. One man who's tracking them gives up on asking if anyone's seen them and starts asking about their horses instead.
Line 143:
* [[Power Incontinence]]: {{spoiler|Michael's powers activate on their own on occasion in the third book.}} Fisk points out that pracitce would be the easiest solution here, but Michael refuses.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: If the sheriff hasn't already been bought by the local baron, they're likely one of these.
* [[Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense]]: Growing up in a wealthy family has left Michael with such a crippling inability to handle money wisely that even after at least two years of [[Perpetual Poverty]] he's still an easy target for anyone trying to get more than their service is worth.
* [[The Runaway]]: After he got fed up with arguing with his father over what to do with his life, Michael just slipped away one night with a small sum of money, took one of the horses that was least likely to be missed, and went off to play knight errant.
* [[Running Gag]]: What's the difference between X and a bandit?
Line 167:
* [[Waking Up Elsewhere]]: Michael and Fisk in the first book, when they get knocked out in the streets and come to on a boat.
* [[Walking the Earth]]
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Michael used to be one of these but he finally decided there was nothing he could do to gain his father's respect so he just decided to do what he wanted. His father is still a bit of a sore spot for him though especially since {{spoiler|he was one of the main reasons Michael ends up [[Tattooed Crook|marked unredeemed]].}}
* [[What Have I Become?]]: Michael. {{spoiler|He became the only intelligent magic user.}}
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway]]: {{spoiler|Considering he could already feel magic, being able to see it is only a slight step up. Even when Michael starts to seriously work magic, [[This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman|the number of situations where it could come in handy are slim]]. It isn't until the third book that his magic really starts to look impressive.}}
* [[Who Would Be Stupid Enough]]: Michael. Michael would be.
