* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: The one time it comes that Silas is transgender, it’s not much of an issue, which is noticeable given the 1930s were not the most accepting time. Possibly justified in that the one character who is apparently aware of/okay with it is family.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Hastings is so upset after Silas is attacked that he chokes out a witness, attacks someone he thinks is the killer [[spoiler: though just happens to have a similar last name]], and is generally much more short-tempered than usual.

Added DiffLines:
''Whitehaven Mansions'' is a series of fanfics based on [[Literature/HerculePoirot The Hercule Poirot Series]], mostly the TV adaptation of the novels. It was written by Jadrea on Archive of our Own, and focuses on the actions of Poirot, Hastings, Miss Lemon, and [[OriginalCharacter Hastings' twenty-year-old nephew]] Silas [=McKinney=]. It can be found [[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2365810 here]].
So far, the series includes the following installments:
* ''Death on the Bellevue'': A case of a banker murdered on the Bellevue Express.
* "SleepingBeauty": A [[OneshotFic oneshot]] focused on Silas and Hastings.
* ''The Case of the Strawberry Pie'': While collecting strawberries at a market, Miss Lemon becomes involved in a mystery of her own.
* "Bloody Inconvenient": A oneshot, once again focused on Silas and Hastings.
* ''Blood in the Tea Leaves'': A case involving an assassin attempting to kill Poirot, which finds another target instead...
!! The series includes the following tropes:
* AffectionateNickname: By ‘’Blood in the Tea Leaves’’, Poirot tends to call Silas “mon petit”.
* ContinuityNod: There’s a mention of Miss Lemon working for a detective before Poirot. Presumably this is a reference to Parker Pyne, whom she worked for in the novels.
* CryIntoChest: Silas does this to Hastings immediately after a nightmare.
* CuddleBug: Silas is revealed as this in one of the short entries. He spends a lot of time being hugged and comforted in ''Blood in the Tea Leaves''.
* CurseCutShort: In ''Blood in the Tea Leaves'':
--> '''Shopkeeper''': Thought you coppers were meant to solve crimes, not sit around with your thumbs up your-
--> '''Poirot''': Good morning, Monsieur.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Miss Lemon gets involved in a case during ''The Case of the Strawberry Pie''. [[spoiler: She doesn't even need Poirot to solve it]].
* TheGhost: Celeste McKinney, Silas’ mother and Hastings’ sister, is referred to often enough, but never quite makes it onscreen.
* OriginalFlavor: The longer fics, especially ''Death on the Bellevue'', feel like they could be episodes of ''Poirot''.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: A verbal one. Silas has a few similar verbal ticks to his uncle, Hastings.
** Apparently Hastings and his sister (Silas’ mother) also share a strong physical resemblance.
