Line 24:
* [[Darkskinned Blonde]]: Bryant/Jaden's Beast Brood form invokes this, especially since he inherited a lot of were form traits from his accidental blood donor.
* [[Determinator]]: Jaden [[Character Development|has become]] one by the end of the story. {{spoiler|Salla's legs are broken, he's had the hell beat out of him, and they've both just barely survived the climactic battle, and he ''still'' is ready to fight when he thinks Team 18 is going to get in the way of their escape.}}
* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: This was intended as a side story to my main books, which I'm still in the process of writing. As such, my main characters get involved. I also throw in a [[The Cameo|cameo]] for an OC of a friend's who might or might not show up in the main continuity.
* [[The Everyman]]: Bryant started out like this. [[Character Development|Then the story happens.]]
* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]: Bryant/Jaden and Salla. {{spoiler|The ending hints that they might be [[Relationship Upgrade|becoming more than that.]]}}
Line 34:
* [[Moment Killer]]: {{spoiler|Thanatos kills a moment between Jaden/Bryant and Salla. [[Almost Kiss|Just when they're about to kiss.]]}}
* [[Muggles]]: Bryant starts out as one. Then the story happens. His parents go in for extreme examples, being pretty oblivious to his plight.
* [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: At the climax, for {{spoiler|poor Jaden.}} Ouch.
* [[Not -So -Great Escape]]: {{spoiler|The escape attempt mounted by the protagonists at the end. It starts out nice, but [[It Got Worse|it gets worse]] when Salla's leg gets snapped by a particularly large homunculus.}}
* [[Now Let Me Carry You]]: Jaden all but says this at the end.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: While there is some mild profanity sprinkled throughout, Salla gets a good one when she discovers her blood has turned Bryant into a Beast Brood.
Line 42:
* [[Roof Hopping]]: The escape scene in Book Two, sprinkled with a bit of [[Prince of Persia]] - styled [[Le Parkour]].
* [[Secret Identity]]: Bryant is forced to drop his name temporarily as a precaution. Can't let the psychotic [[Big Bad]] track his family down, can he?
* [[Shout -Out]]: I'm a huge freaking geek, so I loaded on the shout-outs. Of note is that I practically included a character from another series - Jim Qwilleran, from [[The Cat Who Series]], now runs a local bookstore. There's also a series of [[Shout -Out|shout outs]] to [[Greek Mythology]] (''[[The Odyssey (Literature)|The Odyssey]]'' in particular), given that it's what we were studying when it was assigned.
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Salla's initial attitude towards Bryant. {{spoiler|After her legs are broken in their escape, he tells her to shut up and stop complaining.}}
* [[Strapped to An Operating Table]]: {{spoiler|One of the many things Thanatos did to Salla.}}
* [[Take That]]: To ''[[The Odyssey (Literature)|The Odyssey]]''. Quoth the newly-christened Jaden: "It's better than calling myself Antinous."
