Line 31:

* [[Evil All Along]]:In the last book we find out that {{spoiler|Tomas}} created Vlad so that he could take his powers and become the Pravus, and {{spoiler|Vikas}} had been helping him the entire time.

* [[Evil Plan]] / [[Xanatos Roulette]]: {{spoiler|Vlad's entire existence was Tomas Tod's plan all along...}}

* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: It's a series chronicling the life of a boy named Vladimir Tod.

* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: It's a series chronicling the life of a boy named Vladimir Tod.

* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Vikas and Tomas.}}

** But does it still count if they were technically {{spoiler|[[Evil All Along]]}}?

Line 41:

** Don't forget {{spoiler|Joss}} and Vlad! I mean, he made a whole [[Heel Face Turn]], betrayed his previous views on vampires that he'd held dear for a significant part of his life, and turned his back on the Slayer Society (who, mind you, could easily dispose [[Unfortunate Implications|of him]] at any time) just because he "missed" being Vlad's "friend"? There's ''got'' to be more to that.

** Not to mention how half of "Eleventh Grade Burns" is Vlad crying about how they need to be friends again! He talked about losing {{spoiler|Joss}} more than Meridith!

* [[For Halloween I Am Going As Myself]]: For Halloween in ''Eight Grade Bites'', Vlad wears plastic fangs and a black cape.

* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Vlad, half human, half vampire.

* [[Handsome Lech]]: Henry.

Line 59:

* [[Off the Wagon]]: Vlad

* [[Opposites Attract]]: In a friendship way, Henry and Vlad. Henry is the cool, popular, lady's man while Vlad is the dorky "goth" that can't seem to get the girl. In the romantic way, Vlad and Meridith, the sunshiny, popular girl clad in pink.

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Mostly averted, surprisingly. It's nice to know in a world of [[Twilight (~~Literature~~)|sparkling vampires]], some of the old myths of garlic and levitation and stakes through the heart still live. Though, with enough sunblock, it seems, the vamps in ''Vladimir Tod'' can go out in the sunlight.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Vlad's parents died in a fire that destroyed their home.

Line 68:

* [[Shout-Out]]: Hm, {{spoiler|[[Vampire Hunter|vampire slayer]] from California named [[Joss Whedon|Joss]]?}} Anyone else smelling [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]]?

* [[Stalker Without a Crush]]: Eddie Poe is one, following Vlad around for the perfect moment to snap a picture and expose him as a vampire, or rather an half-vampire.

* [[Take That]]: "Mulling this over, Vlad wiped her lip gloss from his lips with the back of his hand. Vampires, after all, [[Twilight (~~Literature~~)|don't sparkle.]]

* [[Tear Jerker]]: {{spoiler|''"On it, in Joss's handwriting, was a single, short phrase, written in stark, black ink: {{smallcaps|friendship over."''}}}}

* [[Unfazed Everyman]]: Henry. His best friend is a vampire who {{spoiler|bit him and turned him into his human slave when they were eight}}, and his cousin is {{spoiler|a vampire hunter who is trying to kill said best friend}}.
