[http://www.forthewicked.net/ No Rest For the Wicked] is a [[Web Comic]] by Andrea L. Peterson set in a world where many [[Fairy Tale|Fairy Tales]] are true, in all their grim glory.

Line 41:
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Red at the witch's
* [[Big Fancy House]]: The Beast's

* [[Blatant Lies]]: November denies stories about a witch in the woods.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Red and Clare both went through hell in their backstories; Red, especially, is a [[Broken Bird]].

* [[So Proud of You]]: Colette says this of November's mother.
* [[
* [[Standard Hero Reward]]: The Boy got November, the youngest of three sisters, and half a kingdom.
* [[Stay on the Path]]: Perrault prefers it to following Red.
Line 199:
* [[Tasty Gold]]: Slightly non-standard use: while rummaging through a room full of gold, Perrault bites a ring to confirm that it's [http://www.forthewicked.net/archive/02-28.html enchanted].
* [[Temporal Theme Naming]]: November, her sisters August and September, and their father, King January.

* [[Thicker Than Water]]: The Beast resents this.
Line 207:
* [[The Tragic Rose]]: Red is drawn to them.
* [[The Undead]]: The forest witch. She can [[Our Zombies Are Different|still control bits that get hacked off her main body, and re-attach them to the whole.]]
