Mirrorfall

An urban fantasy Web Serial Novel currently^[when?] on its fourth book.

Books in the series:

Mirrorfall (MF) - Playful Hacker Stef is recruited by The Men in Black and shown the Masquerade.
Mirrorheart (MH) - After the mirrorfall, a life hangs in the balance, as do the punishments for attempting a ressurection.
Mirrorshades (MS) - Becoming an agent is by no means an easy process, especially when there are those that would see you fail.
The Grey Edge (GE) - Life isn't easy when you're half-magpie, and less so when your entire family is pyschotic, and so is the man you're in love with.
- First book with the focus on Magnolia and Taylor, rather than Ryan and Stef.

Tropes used in Mirrorfall include:

Back from the Dead - Stef, once as a child, and then again when she's stabbed by a piece of mirror at the end of Mirrorfall.
Waistcoat of Style - Part of the formal uniform for the Field department, is a Badass Longcoat.
Blood Knight - there's a reason people are scared of Taylor.
Playful Hacker - how Stef makes her living before joining the Agency. Also, arguably the entire tech department.
Deadpan Snarker - Curt is certainly one. Very good at impromptu snarky lines.
Half-Human Hybrid - Magnolia, who is half-magpie.
The Grim Reaper - Death's a recurring secondary character.
Invisible to Adults - Members of the Lost who operate as imaginary friends are selectively visible.
Imaginary Friend - Stef has Captain Hook as an imaginary friend as a child.
Mama Bear - Jonesy is this for Merlin.
Masquerade
The Men in Black - The agents.
Nightmare Sequence - Two separate types here:
- Stef's nightmares after coming back from the dead, appear without warning or explanation, genuinely terrify her even though she cannot remember the content.
- Glitches - both induced and natural - essentially hallucinations for agents that cannot be distinguished from reality.
Parental Substitute - Running theme in the series.
- Primarily with the Ryan/Stef dynamic (developed through MH, stated openly in MS, now he routinely refers to her as his daughter).
- Jones for Merlin.
- Agent Mike and his adopted son Bennefree.
- Agent "Billy" Williams and Milla.
Freak-Out - Stef, several times, most noticeably in MH where after being shot the first time after coming back she descends into a full meltdown, externalising the voices in her head, quoting River Tam and playing with small pieces of her own brain.
Abusive Parents - a few examples throughout the series.
- Stef's were emotionally distant and sometimes outright neglectful - prime example being they failed to notice the events of MF#01.
- Merlin's parents...as of book four, only hints have been dropped, but the consensus is "Oh boy..."
- Magnolia's mother
