History Fanfic / SixesAndSevens

* PsychicChildren: Roger's chapter of ''The Haunting of Villa Layla'' reveals that a psychic girl [[spoiler: who is the daughter of Ego the Living Planet]] and implies that Roger may have some psychic abilities himself.
* PsychicNosebleed: Both Ilona and Mindscan start bleeding from their nose and eyes during their psychic duel.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They hit pretty much all the standard vampire tropes - they burn in sunlight, crave blood, and fear crucifixes. The manner of turning a person requires three bites, with each instance having the victim fall more and more under the thrall of the vampire who bit them.

* ItsQuietTooQuiet: While scoping out a potentially HYDRA affiliated location in Santa Clarita, Michael and Emily find the area eerily quiet. Later when they leave, they stop some distance from the location and hear the wind and cicadas as normal.

* {{Irony}}: When explaining the time she spent in Germany during her youth to Michael, Emily mentions how her host father hoped that having two daughters meant the girls would never have to fight should war come again. She relays this, of course, as a woman in British intelligence who's just been sent to join a highly confidential wartime project.
** A more humorous example comes at the end of Michael's chapter in ''The Haunting of Villa Layla'' where Khonshu hopes that a suitable person will come along to be his avatar soon. Series/{{Moon Knight|2022}} takes place eighty-eight years later.

* CompositeCharacter:
** Michael Carter is given the new identity of Brian Falsworth, the man who eventually became the second Union Jack. Furthermore, he also takes on the cover identity of reporter Kevin Marlow, who would go on to become the first Destroyer (an alias that Brian Falsworth also used).
** The Dreadknight title, originally used by Bram Velsing, is given to Abraham Van Helsing from ''Dracula''.
** Original character Gisele Brandt is given the code name Dryad, which was used by the comic book version of Peggy Carter.

* TheFairFolk: Emily hypothesizes that [[Characters/Marvel1602 Faustian Queen]] and the Faerie Queen of British legends are one and the same. The Queen's court includes a Mari Lwyd and little men who look like they stepped out of a Creator/HieronymusBosch painting. She also mentions her relationship to other Christmas figures like Krampus and Perchta, pre-Christian Germanic and Alpine folklore creatures associated with mid-winter. Krampus is known for punishing naughty children with birch rods, and sometimes kidnapping them. Perchta has a long association with Frau Holle, {{TheWildHunt}}, the Roman Diana, and a Celtic bear goddess called Artio.

** The title of ''Headfirst Slide into Latveria on a Bad Bet'' is a reference to "Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet" by Music/FallOutBoy, and it's chapter titles come from the song's lyrics.

* MakeOutKids: Maddie and Robbie have an exceptionally healthy love life...to the point where characters notice them briefly stealing away and returning dishevelled in the middle of missions.
* MistakenForServant: Emily is briefly assumed to be Michael's secretary by Pat Mason and Mark Todd, until she clarifies that her "specialized skills" include assitance, chauffeuring, close-quarters combat, and marksmanship.

** The title of ''Headfirst Slide into Latveria on a Bad Bet'' and all of its chapters are references to "Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet" by Music/FallOutBoy.

* EldritchAbomination: Nothing is right about the Faustian Queen. Her first appearance has a puppet-like quality to it. The next she looks like a literal pen and ink drawing. And the third time she looks like she's made from wax. Emily, Mark, and Anthea speculate that the Faustian Queen and Those Who Sleep Beneath are of the same category of entities far older to Earth than, say, the Olympians and Æsir.

** The voice of Ammit is coloured purple while Khonshu's voice is in bold font.
