Line 43:
* [[Depending On the Writer]]: Averted most of the time, but Marcus' attitude towards Kestral varies wildly across the different stories.
* [[Distress Ball]]: Alandra picks it up in ''Hopeless Sincerity'', and again in ''The Mathematics of Deceit''. [[Action Girl|She drops it later.]]
* [[Don't Call Me "Sir"!]]: Played with. In ''Loyalty and Legend'', Kestral insists that Hakim stop addressing her by her title. He ignores her. Interestingly, she's fine with the title when it comes from direct subordinates under her command, just not those she perceives as equals.
* [[Doomed New Clothes]]: Kestral's dress in ''Velvet Battlefield''.
* [[Dramatic Shattering]]: Hakim drops a teapot in ''So Much We Share''. [[Better Than It Sounds|It's more dramatic than it sounds.]]
Line 88:
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: {{spoiler|Marcus finally proposes to Alandra in ''Friendly Fire''.}} [[Captain Obvious|She says yes.]]
* [[Road Block]]: In ''The Mathematics of Deceit''. They jump over it.
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Hakim and Kestral.
* [[Secret Identity]]: Crimson Sabatt and {{spoiler|Lord Hakim}} are both using aliases.
* [[Secret Keeper]]: Kestral for {{spoiler|Hakim}}.
Line 95:
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: In ''The Mathematics of Deceit''. [[Everyone Can See It|Suuuure she isn't, Marcus.]]
* [[Shipper On Deck]]: Kestral makes up for her [[Moment Killer|cruelty]] in ''The Mathematics of Deceit'' by plotting to matchmake Marcus and Alandra in ''Friendly Fire''. {{spoiler|It works.}}
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** In ''Friendly Fire'': [[Pirates of the Caribbean|"You look somewhat familiar. Have I burned down your camp before?"]] Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for Marcus since he's concussed and tied up at the time.
** [[Doctor Who (TV)|Fan]]''[[Doctor Who (TV)|tas]]''[[Doctor Who (TV)|tic]].
* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: Marcus and Alandra after the [[Relationship Upgrade]].
* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: Subverted in “The Meltdown”. Elias and Thordal treat it like a tabletop roleplay. [[Rule of Fun|And it's much more fun that way.]]
Line 103:
* [[The Stoic]]: Hakim. [[Not So Stoic|Most of the time.]]
* [[Sword Fight]]: ''Of Folly and Flight'' is basically just one big duel. Most of the fanfics include sword combat of some sort.
* [[Teeth -Clenched Teamwork]]: {{spoiler|Crimson Sabatt}}, Alandra and Marcus are forced to work together in ''New Alliances''; see also [[Fire-Forged Friends]].
* [[Ten Minutes in The Closet]]: Kestral and the other knights ''plan'' this for Marcus and Alandra, but for once the [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]] doesn't work. {{spoiler|They get together immediately after the botched plan anyway.}}
* [[Third-Act Misunderstanding]]: ''Loyalty and Legend'', except it's not the discovery of {{spoiler|Hakim's identity}} that causes Kestral to become utterly furious at him, but the fact that he's {{spoiler|been manipulating her and her [[Nakama]] for the past year.}}
Line 113:
** Marcus and Kestral also have their moments.
** Marcus and Jakob in ''Overture''.
* [[Welcome Back, Traitor]]: Elias is accepted back into the ranks after his betrayal, as in canon. [[The Scrappy|He's still ignored.]]
* [[Wide Eyed Idealist]]: Alandra.
* [[Will Not Tell a Lie]]: The Janubian race as a whole; though they will use [[Exact Words]].
