Line 17:
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: For the most part, every adult that Shu and Sara meet is this trope in the future, however, Sis is anything but.
* [[Afraid of Needles]]: Neither Matt or Sara starts off as this, but they are understandably unnerved after their torture at the hands of Schmerz.
* [[Age
* [[Angel Unaware]]: Matt, Sara, and Shu are the only people that know that {{spoiler|Lala-Ru is an angel sent to judge humanity's worth to keep on living and that thanks to their efforts, she decides that they deserve to live on.}}
* [[Anvilicious]]: Earlier drafts of this story had them in spades. Thankfully, after constructive criticism from his reviewers, NKSCF managed to tone his messages down to the point where they didn't come across as this. However, [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on this.
* [[Arc Words]]: [[Title Drop|Life is worth living.]]
* [[As the Good Book Says...]]: Matt is definitely religious, which is a major part of his [[Mangst]] about whether or not what he has believed in for years is true, as he believes the Apocalypse should have happened years before ''Hellywood's'' existence. It's a major part of his [[Character Development]] when he discovers that nothing he has gone through has directly contradicted anything in the Bible. The Disciples are also quite religious as well.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Hamdo personifies this trope amazingly, especially during his [[Villainous Breakdown]].
* {{spoiler|[[Babies Ever After]]}}: {{spoiler|Even though it isn't his biological child, Matt adopts [[Dead Guy, Junior|Kazam]] as his own with Sara and takes care of Sis's children as well.}}
* [[Backstory]]: If any character appears in the original show, then they will--mostly--have a back story. For example:
** Abelia: {{spoiler|Was once a member of a primitive tribe several thousands of years before the modern age who was abducted by scientists from Das Paradies to become Hamdo's wife due to the fractured genetics of the Hamdo family.}}
Line 43:
* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: Sara does not like the fact that she just happens to look exactly like Lala-Ru and that Matt just happens to give her an pendant that [[Overly Long Gag|just happens]] to be shaped exactly like the one that Lala-Ru wears.
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Matt delves into this, using such means as {{spoiler|getting an audio recording of two people having sex to make it sound like Sara and he are acting as Hamdo commanded them to and installing a virus that completely incapacitates ''Hellywood'', but only if he were to return to it, which was a ridiculous idea, since he had never planned to go back there.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Guy, Junior]]}}: {{spoiler|Sara's child, Kazam, is named after his father, who, even though Sara didn't love him, still respected the way that he saved them all when ''Hellywood'' died.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Matt is most definitely this, especially thanks to the fact that this entire story is being told from his point-of-view, such as this instance where Abelia asks for Matt's name:
{{quote| '''Abelia''': “I admire the ferocity behind your eyes, boy. What is your name?”<br />
'''Matt''': “Richard Bachman, but my friends call me Stephen King,” I said, smirking. }}
* [[Deal With the Devil]]: Matt makes one with Hamdo to help him design weapons that Hamdo will use to attack his enemies in exchange for Sara's safety. However, Hamdo being [[Complete Monster|himself]], this doesn't work well in Sara's favor.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Sara has her moments, but it's all a facade, which she eventually breaks out of.
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: What happened to Tabool, Boo, and Nabuca's homes, and eventually {{spoiler|Zari-Bars for Sis and her children.}}
* [[Dying Town]]: They're all over the place, but there is some hope that some of them may be revitalized later on.
Line 58:
* [[Friend to All Children]]: Both Sara and Matt love kids and it was one of the things they liked about each other when they were first dating, so much that when Matt offered Sara a check for a million dollars for saving his life, she asks him to send it out to buy off children being used as child soldiers. This really starts to hurt them when they find out that Hamdo has children fighting his wars later on, but when they make it to Sis's home, they once again find their niche with children. Eventually, {{spoiler|they decide to stay in the future and watch over Sis's kids when she dies.}}
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: Despite the fact that Matt had to shoot {{spoiler|Boo}} with his taser to prove its effectiveness to Hamdo, {{spoiler|Boo}} doesn't hate him for it at all, although Matt still feels bad about it. Matt's relationship with {{spoiler|Nabuca}} has this going as well, and being nice to {{spoiler|Abelia}} has its rewards too.
* [[Game
* [[Gratuitous German]]: Is used and lampshaded within the fan-fic with things like naming an interrogator named Schmerz (German for pain) or the kingdom that {{spoiler|Hamdo and Abelia}} are from is called Das Paradies.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Hamdo delivers many of these during his talks with Matt.
