Line 28:
* [[The City Narrows]]: The Street, which takes up virtually all the space at ground level.
* [[Coincidence Magnet]]: Callie Linder -- the result of her unconscious, probability-altering powers bleeding over to affect the people around her.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]:
** In ''Make Believe'' Artax (temporarily) transfigures giant pink bunny ears, to match the newly pink uniform, onto an MCPD officer who tried to force Artax away from a police operation.
** Artax has also threatened to turn people into [[Our Orcs Are Different|Lutins]] a time or two, but it's never been seen to happen in a story.
* [[Curse]]: It was intended as a [[Baleful Polymorph]] by the [[Evil Sorcerer|Evil Wizard]], in three different forms. Metamor's defenders were able to modify it but could not remove it once it took hold of a person. It has become a [[Mutants|Genetic Curse]] that affects people over a long range, and is centered on the Citadel of Metamor City.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: In ''Make Believe'' it is implied that Artax has one of these.
Line 36:
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Most of the protagonists in the series. Daniel has to take this to almost ludicrous extremes in ''Making the Cut''.
* [[Evil Plan]]: 'Making the Cut' is the most famous, conducted by The vampire prince Malcolm ard'Valos. {{spoiler|Malcolm has his underling turn an Elder of the Psi Collective into a mole for his crime syndicate. He uses her for months to feed disinformation to the Collective.}} At this point it becomes a [[Xanatos Gambit]]. {{spoiler|Malcolm sends her to capture the telepaths who were responsible for leading a successful attack on his organization earlier in the story. No matter what happens, Malcolm wins: either Miriam succeeds and he gets two more powerful telepaths under his control, or she fails and the Collective loses one of its most powerful Elders.}}
* [[The Fair Folk]]:
** The Leanan Sidhe in ''Whispers in the Wood''.
** There have been references to "Sidhe partisans" conducting terrorist attacks in various parts of the Empire.
** Janus Starson has ... ''issues'' with the Sidhe Lord who embodies the concept of [[Santa Claus]] (who has also been referred to as the Holly King and St. Nicholas).
Line 61:
* [[Occult Detective]]: Abbey <s> Normal</s> Preston.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]:
** ''Patrol:'' The dragon known as Guerra takes a perverse delight in hunting the aeromancers who patrol the border between Metamor Valley and the Dragon Mountains. Fortunately, he seems to be satisfied with disabling their aerofighters and then lowering them to earth, rather than killing them outright.
** ''The Case of the Golden Egg:'' A dragon is living in Metamor City in human form, posing as a member of the nobility. She is vain (of course), arrogant (of course), uses mortals as her pawns (of course), and is driven into a homicidal rage when someone dares to steal what belongs to her.
* [[Our Elves Are Better]]
