History Fanfic / ManchesterLost

* MoodWhiplash: One scene has some characters battle Lucifer, and one of them becomes exhausted and fall down. The gripping suspense is ''somewhat'' broken as the author inserts the following note:

* LampshadeHanging - Lots; it's a lot of [[HammerheadSnark Snark]] and SelfParody

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic - [[CrucifiedHeroShot Crowley is tied cruciform to a tree.]] It's very painful for a demon [[HilarityEnsues and causes hallucinations.]]

-->''[[Music/{{Journey}} Don't Stop Believing...]]''

-->'''Raphael:''' ''[[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents You gave me quite a fright, you did. Usually one person doesn't get hurt quite so badly, but you've always had to go above and beyond, haven't you? ...And you never visit anymore, and I can't believe you never mentioned your demon boyfriend.]]''
