Tropes used in The Harmon Verse include:
- Adorkable: Almost all of the OCs in the Harmon Verse have their moments.
- Examples:
- Jack and his love of Barry Manilow and all around closet geekiness
- Mitchell in general
- Michelle and her love of Ezio Auditore da Firenze
- Dylan and his love of Mickie James
- Examples:
- Breaking the Fourth Wall
- Depending on the Writer: In the hands of Soulless Warlock and Gone Rampant, the Harmon Verse takes on a more surreal and absurd turn while Cola-Flavoured-Sherbert and Zero Ben's interpretation of it are more realistic...Well, as realistic as a universe centered around Glee can be. The character portrayals are pretty consistent, however.
- Dysfunctional Family: Despite their rather heartwarming moments, the Harmon family is this in spades. Michelle seems to be a part of one as well.
- Love Dodecahedron
- Meet Cute: Although they didn't meet that way, Mitchell and Michelle have tendency to collide, trip and fall in each other's prescene.
- Odd Friendship: Jack and just about anyone he is friends with the exception of Rachel. He is selfish, rude, and mildly demented, but he always comes through in the end.
- Refuge in Audacity
- True Companions: The entire Glee club, whether they be canon or fanon, exemplify this trope

The eponymous character in the universe and the protagonist of the See It My Way series, which covers the first three seasons of the show.

He is talented, but arrogant as hell and is not afraid to tell the members of New Directions what he is thinking at all times.
