* [[The Dragon]]: Ungolad

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Some of the books' endings are made of [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]], but only after the protagonists are made to suffer pretty much the worst lives ever.

* [[~~Everybodys~~ Dead Dave]]: What Dashti finds upon returning to {{spoiler|Titor's Garden}}.

* [[Everybody's Dead, Dave]]: What Dashti finds upon returning to {{spoiler|Titor's Garden}}.

* [[Fairy Tale]]: ''The Goose Girl'' is based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name, and ''Book of a Thousand Days'' is based on "Maid Maleen."

* [[Family Unfriendly Death]]: {{spoiler|Falada}} (''Goose'') and {{spoiler|Khasar}} (''Thousand'') have their grisly ends depicted in the books, but perhaps the worst is the mere suggestion of what happens to {{spoiler|Selia}} in ''The Goose Girl''.

* [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: {{spoiler|Falada}} (''Goose'') and {{spoiler|Khasar}} (''Thousand'') have their grisly ends depicted in the books, but perhaps the worst is the mere suggestion of what happens to {{spoiler|Selia}} in ''The Goose Girl''.

Line 43:

* [[Magic Music]]: In ''Book of a Thousand Days''.

* [[Making a Splash]]: {{spoiler|Dasha}}

* [[Maybe Magic Maybe Mundane]]

* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Khasar, from a Mongolian root meaning {{spoiler|terrible dog}}. Also used in-universe, as in ''Thousand'' there's a whole nameing language. Saren, means 'moon light' and she's a much softer character than the rest.

* [[Nice to The Waiter]]: Miri befriends Knut, the academy cook.
