* PapaWolf: Robert Hawkins is this, both towards his own children and towards Richie. It's stated that he yells at Shawn [[spoiler: while Maggie's getting her things and preparing to leave him]] about how he's treated his child.

** Robert Hawkins calls Child Protective Services on Shawn ''immediately'' when he finds out what's going on with Richie. This starts the process of getting Richie away from his father, but he's not arrested until after the story ends (though before the epilogue). The actual process of CPS' intervention is also handled relatively realistically.

!! The fic features the following tropes:
* AbusiveParents: Richie's dad, Sean (who is referred to as "Shawn" in this fic). He's apparently been physically and mentally abusing his wife and son for ''years''.
* AllThereInTheManual: The story is accompanied by an extensive set of author's notes at the end, which explain their writing process, characters, and some easter eggs.
* BabiesEverAfter: By the epilogue, Sharon and Adam have a daughter, Jena.
* TheCameo: While it's never explained in-story, the fun facts at the end reveal that Abigail the counselor is Gail/Nightingale from the series, having been cured of her mutation.
** Also Shenice, who appears in a brief segment of one chapter to discuss the fact that she's been covering for Static and Gear for a while.
* DarkFic: Very. The fic deals with [[SarcasmMode fun]] topics as self-harm, suicidal thoughts, abusive parents, homophobia, and so on.
* DeadGuyJunior: A variant. WordOfGod states that Jena is named for her grandmother, Jean Hawkins.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Richie and Virgil both go through a ''lot''. The former has a lot of abuse and mental health issues to get over, while the latter is stuck feeling stuck and powerless through a lot of the story. By the end, they're both much better [[spoiler: and get together in the last paragraph]].
* EpiphanyTherapy: Averted. While going to therapy seems to help a ''little'', Richie also resents it and struggles with it.
* RealityEnsues: This fic takes a fairly realistic approach to mental health and self-harm. For example:

** After Richie [[spoiler: nearly bleeds out when he cuts himself deeper than he'd expected]], he's placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold and needs to go to a facility for 72 hours.
** Static tells Daisy not to tell anyone what's happening with Richie. She tells one other person who's also concerned about him. The news quickly spreads.
** Richie relapses several times, including after beginning treatment. It takes a ''very'' long time for him to get over his self-harming tendencies, [[spoiler: though he hasn't self-harmed in a year by the time of the epilogue]].
** As with everything else timing-related, it takes Virgil a while to reach a conclusion about the status of his relationship with Richie.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. There are full-time therapists ''and'' temporary counselors at Redwood Springs.
