At the start of December 2011, a [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7602686/1/POD_No_More_Side_Story_Its_a_Wonderful_Undeath Christmas Special] was added. Due to issues with time, it was done as a separate story.
 
{{tropelist}}
Line 18:
* [[Arc Number]]: Demo [[Discussed Trope|discusses]] this, and wonders if the number eleven may be one, but it doesn't seem to be just yet.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Mima is now the queen of all ghosts! And, technically, so's Marisa.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Ivan}}.
* [[Badass Creed]]: The Belmonts seem to have adopted "[[Castlevania 2 Simons Quest|The morning sun will vanquish the horrible night!]]"
* [[Badass Finger-Snap]]: Mima does one to send Shaft back to the afterlife. {{spoiler|It doesn't stick.}}
Line 48:
* [[Damage Sponge Boss]]: Koranot and Frankenstein's Monster, or so Ivan believes at first.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Remilia, particularly in the first part. Rumia does most of the snarking afterwards, as a result of spending the most time with [[Talkative Loon|Demo]].
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Cirno [[Quarter -Life: Halfway toTo Destruction|succeeds at winning]] in Chapter 24.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Rumia crosses this when {{spoiler|Satan brings Demo to his side}}. Even after things are back to normal, she hasn't properly recovered.
* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]]: Flandre doesn't hestitate to explain [[Loony Fan|why]] Remilia came to Dracula's castle to Kokoro and Gesshi.
Line 55:
* [[Dream Sequence]]: In the prologue.
* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: The solution to defeating Koranot and Frankenstein's monster.
* [[Explaining Your Power to the Enemy]]: Flandre to Dracula, though at the time there's no reason to think that he can [[NoWon't SellWork On Me]] an ability like hers.
* [[Expressive Mask|Expressive Hat]]: Suwako raises an eyebrow, her hat raises an eyebrow.
* [[Extreme Doormat]]: Ruukoto has considerably less backbone than Reimu.
Line 76:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: The general premise of the first part of the story.
* [[Heel Realization]]: Ivan experiences one when an innocent woman is sacrificed in order to resurrect his father.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Ivan during his [[And Then What?]] moments, and Flandre when Dracula pulls a [[NoWon't SellWork On Me]] on her.
** Ivan is something of a BSOD magnet. His biggest so far has to be {{spoiler|when Carmilla comes [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]}}, but in the side story Dorothy leaves him with a close contender.
** After the third chapter of the side story, the author decided that he wouldn't be adding any more examples.
* [[Hero-Killer]]: {{spoiler|Satan.}}
* [[Holding Back the Phlebotinum]]: Demo considers her [[Time Master]] abilities to be cheating, and as such only uses them in emergencies.
** After an attempt to use her power results in a [[NoWon't SellWork On Me]], Flandre resolves to use it less often.
* [[Hypocrisy Nod]]: Rumia acknowledges and apologizes for the example below.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Demo barges into the Scarlet Devil Mansion completely uninvited whilst scolding Carmilla for the same thing.
Line 107:
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Sadly, Marisa no longer holds the title of "ordinary magician", as she is now both a maid and a ghost.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|No Internet Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Demo is basically [[Raocow|her creator]].
* [[NoWon't SellWork On Me]]: Dracula manages to do this with Flandre's powers.
** Koranot and Frankenstein's monster pull the same with Marisa's Master Spark.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: How Cirno came to be under Suwako's protection.
Line 113:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Sakuya was apparently born in the late '70s.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Dracula starts with a ''halfway'' one-winged angel before going all the way. {{spoiler|Ivan}} later manages one himself.
** Carmilla pulls off the same transformation she did in [[Castlevania: Rondo of Blood|Rondo of Blood]], but Ivan is hardly impressed by it.
** {{spoiler|Flandre}} later steals Carmilla's [[Amplifier Artifact]] and accomplishes the same transformation she did.
** Galamoth does this in the side story, though it's more of a [[Make My Monster Grow]].
Line 148:
* [[Stealth Insult]]: Flandre doesn't believe her sister is capable of standing up against [[Frankenstein]]. Remilia scolds her for [[Completely Missing the Point|confusing the monster and the creator]], and Flandre clarifies that she's explicitly referring to the creator.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Flandre is implied to have been this prior to meeting Ivan.
* [[Suicidal Overconfidence]]: Galamoth in the side story. Ivan seems to exhibit this after {{spoiler|coming [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]}}, but it's subverted when he lives up to his claims.
* [[Talkative Loon]]: Demo.
* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: Frequently lampshaded.
Line 157:
* [[Thanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Shaft's death is apparently the final step towards summoning [[Satan]]}}.
* [[Time Master]]: Demo is apparently one, though she never uses it because she considers it to be cheating.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: {{spoiler|Mina Hakuba after becoming an angel.}}
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Mentioned by name in the seventh chapter.
* [[Tsundere]]: Rumia always seems to be the most annoyed by Demo, but she's also the most distressed when {{spoiler|Demo undergoes a [[Face Heel Turn]]}}. She eventually confesses her true feelings after the battle's over.
