* AmbiguousDisorder:
** There's something really wrong with Kenny. He has severe outbursts, is delusional, cant control his temper or emotions,his memory is very selective, and he is utterly obsessed with Owen.
** Owen himself, its heavily implied he has an eating disorder and its mentioned he deliberately tries to keep himself awake at night because he doesnt want to wake up the next day. He has very vivid fantasies about killing Kenny.

* AxCrazy: Kenny

* EyeScream: In the conclusion of the long story [[spoiler: Owen defends himself by striking Kenny across the face with a broken metal toy. The resulting blow ends up ripping off his left eyelids]]
** Also Owen due to his beating is described as having injured eyes, with one swollen completely shut and the other raw and bloodshot.
* EnterStageWindow: As Owens hospitalized and spends a large amount of the stories time in a fifth story room, Abby visits him quite a few times using this method. It alerts Owen that theres something deeply unnatural about Abby.

* RRatedOpening: The first fic opens with Kenny attacking Owen after strength building classes and subjecting him to a very severe, drawn out torture scene.
* Really700YearsOld: Abby, she's over 300 years old.
* TheRenfield: Thomas to Abby. Its noted that it's starting to cause problems for Abby, as shes been reliant on him to hunt and bring her food for so long and shes barely paid any attention to advances in technology in the last several decades her own skills in hunting have atrophied.
* TheResenter: Thomas to a degree. He resents Owen for the fact that he clearly has Abbys affection, not to mention shes romantically interested in him while she only saw him as a friend when they were children. Hes also jealous over Owens good looks while he was a self described plain, gangly child and has now aged into an old man.
* TeensAreMonsters: To an extent, Kennys brother Jimmy. Hes described as a thug and acts like one. However, as bad as he is, Kenny who is only 12/13 is much worse. His contributions to the plot are fairly minimum [[spoiler: Abby bumps into him while they're both looking for Kenny, when she realizes he doesn't have any relevant information she kills him effortlessly.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Owen in the second short story, after hes been turned into a vampire by Abby. Its noted hes now one of the strongest beings on the planet and he can through a large man several meters into the air without any effort on his part.

* RasputinianDeath: Both [[spoiler: Kenny and Owen]] suffer this.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Played with. Owen is aware throughout the entirety of the story that theres something wrong with Abby. However, since shes his only source of companionship he doesnt really care and just guesses what Abby could be as a way to pass the time. He guesses that she might be a mutant, to Abbys bemusement and confusion.[[spoiler:Its only when hes forced to take things more seriously ie seeing how sick Abby gets when she goes without blood, and the bodies that start piling up around Los Alamos that he starts to realise shes a vampire]]
* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Like in the movie Abby has a very limited range of knowledge of pop culture. This results in her being utterly confused when Owen begins speculating about her and her powers ie comparing her telepathy to Professor Xavier from the x men.
* SuperStrength: Abby's strength is such that she can shatter human bone like glass.
* SleepsInTheNude: Due to how much pain hes in and how sensitive his skin is Owen decides to forego clothes while sleeping a few times in the hospital. He mentions he likes how it feels and might decide to sleep naked from then on. Embarrassingly for Owen, Abby decides to visit him on one of those nights.

* {{Main/Telepathy}}: One of Abbys powers.

* Telepathy: One of Abbys powers.

* RasputinDeath: Both [[spoiler: Kenny and Owen]] suffer this.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Kenny subjects Owen to this at the beginning of the story. Its so bad he urinated blood and his face is so injured hes described as barely looking human.

* DeliberateValuesDissonace: Since its the 80s there a few examples. Owen is horrified when someone suggests he might need some therapy thinking they're implying hes insane, his father drops some racial slurs when he mentions he wants to take up Judo to learn how to defend himself, its mentioned the school turned a blind eye to the bullying Owen endured.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Kenny subjects Owen to this at the beginning of the story.

* TheQuietOne: Owen, like in the film, due to his shyness. He tends to only speak in very short simple sentence with most people, and even with people hes comfortable with hes rather quiet. To the degree that after his beating some people initally assume he suffered brain damage.
