* DeadFic: After taking it down in 2021 along with the rest of her works, ''Amaranthine Shadows'' has become permanently stuck at the beginning of Musa's betrayal arc, when she goes to a secret meeting with Darcy for the first time. Galatea's mental state after her mid-training breakdown is also left uncertain; not to mention Bloom's chances at living post-Water Stars attack.
* DeathAmnesia: {{Inverted}} in ''Amaranthine Shadows''. When Bloom dies, she becomes an amnesiac soul who doesn't remember anything from when she was alive. The interludes show that she goes onto a hectic afterlife in which she has to traverse some sort of underworld. As the events are narrated in reverse, we see her progressively recover her memories. In the prologue, which comes chronologically last, the only events that she can't recall are the ones that lead to her death, so she's confused when her beloved friends and girlfriend ignore her--they can't interact with her because she's a ghost.

* HeroLookingForGroup: In ''Amaranthine Shadows'', it's more like AntiVillain looking for group. Darcy actively seeks new converts to her Ikisat Cult, comprised of fairies and witches alike who worship the Goddess of Death in exchange for a toxic boost of magic. The power-up is how she lures them into allying with her, as the various characters she converts seek power to do justice or for personal reasons. Darcy's actual goal is to overthrow Valtor.

* {{Mesodiplosis}}: In the seventh chapter, this is LostInTranslation from Spanish to English. Galatea suffers from a PTSD flashback episode about Icy tearing her wings. The narration establishes a metaphor between that traumatic event and a spider eating a butterfly trapped in its spiderweb, so the pain caused by the spider's venom is equaled to the pain provoked by the flashback. So we have: "The '''spider''''s venom gnawing at her insides. Of the '''spidery''' memory of her broken wings." In the original Spanish text, the word "arácnido" is located in the middle of both phrases and used as both a noun (arachnid) and an adjective (spidery) to reinforce the parallel.

* OCStandIn: ''Amaranthine Shadows'' has a rather particular and more fleshed-out version of Galatea, a very, very minor character in the series. In canon, she's a plot device whose only purpose is to be rescued by Musa so the latter can gain her Enchantix and use her Fairy Dust to heal the former's ripped-off wings. One might think that any fairy would suffer severe trauma after losing her wings thanks to a witch, even if said fairy later regained them. ''Winx Club's'' creators shoved aside all of this after that episode so this fanwork occupies itself on correcting the loose ends. Galatea indeed gets PTSD afterward and a real personality. She's a perfectionist, she's haughty, and since her wings don't immediately grow again after being healed by Musa, she thrives for power in order to regain control.

Her writing style is easily recognized by seamlessly merging prose with literary tools typically found in poems, such as rhymes, musicality, and multi-layered symbolism but without the text being structured in stanzas. Gaela calls it 'poetic prose' and it's more prevalent in her original pieces due to their shorter length.

It also makes an allusion to one of Homura Akemi's [[spoiler:witch transformation stages]] in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'' --specifically, when spiderweb-bleeding red moons replace Homura's eyes.
