Line 49:
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Averted in epic style. The author has done an amazing amount of research on virtually all aspects of this fic.
** An amusing (and intriguing) example of the aversion in the notes of Harmony Dreams:
{{quote| Nathan may or may not be talking out of his ass when he says the Porsche Carrera GT accelerates faster than the Space Shuttle. It’s hyperbole; please don’t bombard me with the stats for how fast the Space Shuttle accelerates. (For the record, the Carrera GT out-accelerates the Shuttle for the first nine seconds, past which the Shuttle wins by just enough to have beaten the Carrera GT over the Quarter Mile.)}}
** One exception: {{spoiler|Mr. Almacy says that a contract must be notarized by a notary public.}} That isn't true, not that it ends up mattering.
* [[Doorstopper]]: The released chapters run 456 pages, including 2 blank pages in the first chapter and 5 pages of art. The ''unrealeased'' (and unedited) chapters run another '''616''' pages and counting.
Line 101:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Too many to count.
** One of the many:
{{quote| '''Ash:''' [[Starcraft|You called down the thunder, now it's time to reap the whirlwind!]]}}
** Ash [[Half-Life (series)|takes up a crowbar]] when it looks like a fight is going down.
*** Not to mention [[Deus Ex]], and [[Dwarf Fortress]]. Both are subtle, and only to players, but still hilarious.
* [[Shower Scene]]: Oh, so many. Many are also [[Shower of Love|Showers Of Love]].
{{quote| '''Emily:''' I guess we should take a shower.<br />
'''Ash:''' You can go first.<br />
'''Emily:''' Who said anything about taking turns? }}
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Emily wonders if she's attracted to girls in general, or just Ash. {{spoiler|Turns out to be girls in general}}.
