Line 10:
* [[Action Girl]]: Chris counts, Sam not so much.
* [[Adrenaline Makeover]]: Chris goes from a naive college student to a [[Badass]] [[Demi Human]] with superhuman strength.
* [[All Myths Are True]] - not only myths and legends, but ''multiple fictional stories''. See [[Shout
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Byron is [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type IV]], reluctant to get involved with other people's troubles unless [[It's Personal]], to prevent [[The End of the World As We Know It]], helping a friend or the problem is his fault.
** He also seems protective of his adopted home of Portland, Oregon.
Line 33:
* [[Fantastic Drug]]: The new street drug Rush, a potent psychedelic, is growing popular amongst the locals of Portland... [[Involuntary Shapeshifting|and turning its long-term users into vampire-like monsters]]. Byron can't find the secret ingredient until Chris comes along - she was bitten by a user and became a vampirelike human. Turns out it's {{spoiler|vampire blood}} that's causing all the trouble.
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Faven, a half-demon, is trapped within Byron's tower after breaking in. {{spoiler|Chris's}} imprisonment in Dracula's machine also counts.
* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: At the beginning of Season Two, Byron is trapped with Jo on a [[Alternate Universe|mirror world]] by [[Louis Cypher|Logan]] so that Logan can free [[Lilith]] from Byron's realm. {{spoiler|Later it is revealed that Byron could have returned at any time to his own realm without Jo but chose to stay to try and get Jo home, thus invoking this trope. However [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog|Jo dies and Lilith is freed anyway]].}}
* [[Fur Against Fang]]: Season One two-parter "Code of Conduct" has almost-vampire Chris meet a female werewolf named Amy. They don't get along.
** {{spoiler|Subverted at the end of Season 2 when the eastern council of vampires and the werewolves join forces against Dracula and begin to broker a more permanent peace.}}
Line 84:
** Byron himself from time to time, courtesy of both {{spoiler|Dracula}} and the Vatican.
** Byron keeps some himself, including {{spoiler|Lilith}} and {{spoiler|a race of super zombies he created}}.
* [[Shout
** Byron once quipped that "[[Harry Potter|Harry's]] quite a nice fellow. Pity about that Voldemort business."
** Prime Minister [[Doctor Who
** Chris met a coven of [[Twilight (Literature)|animal-feeding vampires]] who live in Washington.
** The government organization mentioned that they were concerned about a vampire in New Orleans named "[[The Vampire Chronicles|Lestag]]" who was publishing his memoirs.
* [[Town With a Dark Secret]]: Blackthorn, Vermont, where everyone went crazy.
* [[Weakened By the Light]]: Christina's reaction when she's affected by Rush.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: The last episode of season 2, ending in {{spoiler|Chris's death}}.
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Seems to happen with alarming frequency. Byron even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it.
