* BitchInSheepsClothing: Dante isn't called "Doctor Bitch" among her patients for nothing.

to:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Dante isn't called "Doctor Bitch" among her patients for nothing. The asylum's Director, also known as [[spoiler:Pride]] also qualifies.
* BittersweetEnding: Many people have died, but our remaining heroes have managed to free themselves, overcome their trauma and expose the evils of the asylum after destroying it.

* EyeScream: Greed's eyes have become purple due to them filling with blood from the alchemy extraction process. [[spoiler:Envy]] also has one of his eyes melt out of its socket after Kimblee kills him.

* NoImmortalInertia: [[spoiler:Dante]] falls victim to this when Hohenheim removes her Philosopher's stone.

* BigEater: Gluttony, to the surprise of no one. He doesn't get much screentime, but he's noted to moan and complain quietly to himself that he has to keep serving all the "precious food" to the patients and gets visibly upset when he discovers that they didn't leave any on the plates after meals. He also apparently attacked Ed rather viciously when the latter tried to inspect the food to see if there was anything fishy about it.

!!Tropes
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Wrath and Greed are both human here, while Martel is apparently not a chimera.
* AgeLift: Roy Mustang and his team were all roughly in their 20s-30s in canon, but here they're teenagers. Greed is also a ''lot'' younger here, but then, that's mainly because he's not an ancient unkillable homunculus in this fic.
* AxCrazy: Kimblee likes making people explode. Envy and Wrath are also stated to be this.
* BattleaxeNurse: Unsurprisingly, Lust is this.
-->'''Lust:''' I wouldn't be so foolish as to pin me with the stereotypes of my profession, if I were you... I don't feel compassion, and especially not for the condemned.
* BigBad: Dante is the main antagonist, siphoning power from alchemically gifted patients and switching bodies with female ones to prolong her own life.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Dante isn't called "Doctor Bitch" among her patients for nothing.
* CanonWelding: Dante and the Homunculi's origins are lifted from the 2003 anime, but some characterization aspects are taken from the manga and ''Brotherhood'' anime. Additionally, one chapter reveals that TheGateOfTruth functions like its manga counterpart rather than its anime counterpart.
* CompositeCharacter: Despite the story taking place in a world based on the 2003 anime continuity, Lust is more similar to her manga counterpart, being a cold-hearted BloodKnight.
* DemotedToExtra: Envy, who is only alluded to in the main part of the fic and gets killed off after his one appearance at the end. Scar and Wrath are both killed off pretty early as well, though Wrath gets a tiny bit of focus in a flashback, and Pride, whose [[spoiler:reveal as a Homunculus and subsequent death]] happens offscreen.
* EvilOldFolks: Dante is an old woman and pure evil.
* ForWantOfANail: On top of multiple other things, Ed didn't have to seal Al's soul inside of a suit of armor in this universe, as Truth apparently decided that the payment of his arm and leg were enough for both his brother and [[BodyHorror what was left of his mother]].
* GrandTheftMe: Dante pulls this on young, pretty female patients to prolong her life. Ed later learns that she has her eyes on Winry.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Multiple characters end up coming down with this, due to the way Dante tries to extract their alchemy. Izumi Curtis and [[spoiler:Roy Mustang]] are the main examples.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Among the asylum's staff, Alex Louis Armstrong and Dr. Maes Hughes are this, helping out the patients in their attempt to escape.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Izumi and her son, Wrath, die in each other's arms]].
