Line 12:
* [[Batman Gambit]]: It is never truly said whether {{spoiler|The Gatekeeper Rashid, Faery Queens Lily and Maeve or Mab, or God,}} started the events in motion to help save {{spoiler|Molly, Harry, and the members of the Senior Council}} but the plan works out perfectly in the end. See [[Gambit Pileup]] for more.
* [[Can Not Tell a Lie]]: The Faery Queens Maeve and Lily. {{spoiler|This doesn't stop them from manuvering things to not only help save Molly's life but many other in-training wizards and members of the Senior Council. And Lily telling the Merlin facts which are true [[From a Certain Point of View]].}}
* [[Cold -Blooded Torture]]: Committed by Harry on a pair of ghouls after they kill two sixteen year old wizards in New Mexico. {{spoiler|[[Nightmare Fuel|He lights all the fat on one's body on ''fire'', and then throws the other into a sandy crater, turns the sand into glass, and then pours orange juice all over him for the ants to eat him alive.]] After pleading from Carlos he gives in and shoots the second one in the head.}}
* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: Basically a superpower of the Knights of the Cross. Harry [[Invoked Trope|invokes]] it [[Genre Savvy|intentionally]] to try and save {{spoiler|Molly}}'s life. {{spoiler|It works}}.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]:
Line 22:
** {{spoiler|Harry still uses it.}}
** {{spoiler|Hellfire was also used in a major assault against Arctis Tor}}.
* [[Lawyer -Friendly Cameo]]: Some phobophages take the shape of horror movie monsters to inspire fear. Harry ends up fighting an unnamed [[Alien (Film)|creature which drools heavily and has acid for blood]]. Harry obviously recognizes it as a Xenomorph, as he spends the rest of the fight using quotes from the [[Alien (Film)|movies]] as one-liners, while very carefully not mentioning its name.
{{quote| '''Harry:''' Get away from her, you ''bitch!''}}
** While storming the base of the villains, Harry faces "[[Childs Play (Film)|Bucky the Murder Doll]]" and [[Take That|states that he could never understand how anybody found it scary]].
* [[Like Parent, Like Spouse]]: Harry attributes Molly's infatuation with him to this.
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: Inverted. Charity has the deep dark secret. No one else knows but Harry after figuring it out on his own.
* [[Mama Bear]]: Charity Carpenter more than fits this trope. {{spoiler|She ''storms the gates of Faerie itself'' to get her daughter back.}}
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: There is the famous instance where Harry fights a [[Alien (Film)|xenomorph]], including quoting from the movie with "Get away from her, you ''bitch!''" as he proceeds to roast and smash the beast repeatedly until it is turned into chunky salsa. Moments later, however, he learns the "her" he was rescuing has bled out and died, and he is left to wonder if he wasted the chance to save her because he was indulging in blasting the monster repeatedly instead, and in turn whether that enjoyment had something to do with Lasciel's coin's influence on him.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Harry learns {{spoiler|that every fae in Winter is coming to kill him. ''Personally''.}}
{{quote| '''Harry''': [[Understatement|Crap.]]}}
Line 34:
** A third time for Harry would occur when Michael admits, {{spoiler|while he has known about Luciel being inside Harry since the night of the infection, if Michael believes Harry is going to embrace the Fallen, he will end Harry.}} After a moment of thinking on it, Harry is happpy and would want that as well.
* [[Shout Out]]: A few.
** At one point, though it's [[Lawyer -Friendly Cameo|not stated outright]], Harry fights a [[Alien (Film)|Xenomorph]].
{{quote| '''Harry:''' Get away from her, you ''[[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitch]]''!}}
** Deliberately invoked by Harry wielding {{spoiler|Summer-}}Fire against a Scarecrow-like Fetch:
{{quote| '''Harry:''' [[The Wizard of Oz (Film)|How about a little fire, Scarecrow]]? }}
Line 42:
* [[So Proud of You]]: {{spoiler|Ebenezer to Harry}}.
* [[Take That]]:
{{quote| "That was [[Lawyer -Friendly Cameo|Bucky the Murder Doll]]."<br />
"Kind of a wimp."<br />
"Must have been the runt of the litter."<br />
