* FantasyContraception:
** In ''The King's Peace'' series.
** ''Lifelode'' [[spoiler:is about the god of marriage trying to introduce exactly the same kind of fantasy contraception that ''The King's Peace'' has.]]
* {{Geas}}: The novels set in the Fantasy Counterpart Britain have, courtesy of Fantasy Counterpart Ireland, "curses" that are very similar to the geases of Irish mythology.
* JackassGenie: In ''The King's Peace'', the Jarns' god Gangrader, who finds it amusing to give his followers exactly what they asked for, in such a way that they don't get what they actually wanted.
* LiteraryAllusionTitle: ''Tooth and Claw'' is a quote from Tennyson.
* MadOracle: Several examples in ''The King's Peace'' series. Part of it is that oracles can't see ''the'' future, only the futures of nearby [[AlternateHistory alternate timelines]], any one of which may or may not be the same as the future that actually happens.

* TheNounAndTheNoun: ''Tooth and Claw''
* RealityIsUnrealistic: Refers to it as [[http://www.irosf.com/q/zine/article/10407 "The Tiffany Problem"]], where Tiffany is a perfectly legitimate medieval name (a variant of Theophania) but it looks and sounds too modern for readers.
* ReligiousRobot: Played with in [[http://papersky.livejournal.com/443771.html "When we were robots in Egypt"]].
* RemovedFromThePicture: In ''Among Others'', after Mori's mother finds out where she's gone, she starts sending Mori old family photos with Mori burned out of them. Since Mori's mother is a witch, there's more to this than just an expression of her feelings.

* ShoutOut[=/=]TakeThat: Many to various authors in ''Among Others''
