* [[Nuke'Em]]: The MCB's backup plan for taking care of Lord Machado. {{spoiler|It misses him and instead annoys an Old One}}.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: {{spoiler|Harbinger is actually over one hundred but looks middle aged.}}
* [[Our Elves Are Better]]: Subverted. The elves live in the Enchanted Forest, a trailer park in rural Mississippi, and Queen Ilrondelia fits every [[White Trash]] stereotype in the book [https://web.archive.org/web/20131008064803/http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2010/04/05/tanya-princess-of-the-elves/ to a sickening degree].
* [[Our Orcs Are Different]]: They work for MHI as healers and as the pilot for their Mi-24 Hind; each has a special skill that makes them the best at what they do (Gretchen = Ultimate Healer; Skippy = Ultimate Hind Pilot). In Vendetta, Owen's brother speculates that this is the true origin of [[Badass Driver|The]][[Top Gear|Stig]].
* [[Prophecy Twist]]: {{spoiler|Owen fulfills the prophecy's requirements as well as the Cursed One did.}}
