* BiTheWay: In Faerie, same-sex relationships aren't considered unusual or against the norm. Breeding is the all-important factor and so long as a couple of opposite genders can reproduce, no one has a problem with them keeping a lover on the side. Infidelity is measured in keeping secrets from one's spouse or breaking pre-arranged agreements, not necessarily just by having sex with someone other than your spouse. Cole finds such hang-ups in the mortal realm to be bizarre even after living there for so long.

!!'''This series contains examples of:''''
* BiTheWay: In Faerie, same-sex relationships aren't considered unusual or against the norm. Breeding is the all-important factor and so long as a couple of opposite genders can reproduce, no one has a problem with them keeping a lover on the side. Infidelity is measured in keeping secrets from one's spouse or breaking pre-arranged agreements, not necessarily just by having sex with someone other than your spouse. Cole finds such hang-ups in the mortal realm to be bizarre even after living there for so long.
* BodyHorror: These are not the cutesy fey that grant wishes and leave behind shoes.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Cole is hinted at having one. The reasons behind his exile from Faerie aren't made clear, but even after arriving in New York City in the RoaringTwenties, things didn't pick up for him.
* DepravedBisexual: Cole is this, at least in Detective Corhagen's eyes. The general consensus seems to be that Corhagen is in serious denial, particularly after [[spoiler: the incident in the park.]]
* RoaringTwenties: Cole started out as a mob enforcer in the early nineteen-twenties after his exile began. He still speaks of the time with a small amount of fondness.
* TransparentCloset: Detective James Corhagen, most definitely.
----
!!!TheThirteenthChild
* TheBabyTrap: Detective Corhagen is married to a shrill, controlling woman that Cole believes lied about being pregnant. It turns out the woman really was pregnant, just not with Corhagen's child.
* BadassNormal: Detective Corhagen shows shades of this initially. There are hints early on that he may have some small preternatural ability involving foretelling dreams but this has yet to be elaborated on. Inspector Vallimun has this in spades, however, particularly after [[spoiler: he gets the bazooka.]]
* BagOfHolding: Robyn the mercenary has one. [[spoiler: It was made by her grandmother.]]
* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: Averted initially. The sex scenes don't kick in until roughly midway through. When they DO, however....
* TheFairFolk: Cole is a pure-blood sidhe who has lived in New York City for the past ninety years or so. Nevertheless, he still thinks very much like a sidhe and not a human. In this particular brand of New York City, fey are all over the place. Most people ignore them out of the belief that they aren't real.
* FairyGodmother: Naryssa could be called a subversion of this. [[spoiler: She's a serial murderer/child kidnapper who thinks that half-breed fey children cannot co-exist with humans.]]
* FantasticRacism: There are hints of this, particularly with the character Naryssa and her adopted children, though it hasn't been elaborated on yet.
* IKEAErotica: So far, not so much.
* InvisibleToNormals: No one in New York City notices that there are trolls, pixies, sidhe, and all other manner of creatures living alongside them right under their very noses. Even for New York, this seems a bit hard to take. WordOfGod says that its due to people no longer believing in them. Their minds either ignore it or make up some excuse
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Inspector Vallimun. And again, Cole.
* LittleMissBadass: Robyn, hands down. She looks no older than twelve yet is armed to the teeth thanks to a BagOfHolding [[spoiler: made by her grandmother. She also wears a red hood over camo fatigues and can perform incredible acrobatics without batting an eye.]]
* MeaningfulName: Sort of an inversion. Cole has albino skin and silvery-white hair, yet his shortened name is Cole (Coal).
* MoneyDearBoy: Things haven't been going well for our immortal protagonist. His motivation for taking the case Corhagen offers him is money so he can keep paying the rent. And to play video games.
* ScaryScarecrows: ScaryScarecrows in a [[spoiler: locked-down hospital]], no less!
* ShapeShifter: Cole can change into a wolf at will thanks to [[spoiler: having served Queen Titania at one point.]]
* ThreeWaySex: This happens in a dreamscape between [[spoiler: the three main male characters.]] Corhagen flip-flops back and forth afterwards between wanting to deny it happened and trying to blame it all squarely on Cole.
!!!TheThirteenthPillar
* ArmoredClosetGay: Corhagen, full-stop. Though he doesn't pull this off as well as he thinks.
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Subverted. Vallimun is described several times as being spectacularly well-endowed in one area of the body, yet a chapter roughly midway through focuses on he and Cole discussing how such a thing is more of a curse than a blessing.
** It is implied that one reason Vallimun enjoys being with Cole is due to his sidhe anatomy being able to take more punishment, and therefore can accommodate for Vallimun's size.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Daniel Whittaker]] this time. The abuse he suffers both at home and at school leaves him a broken mess, but then some ominous shadows tortured him further into becoming the monster he was.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Corhagen sees himself as this.
* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: Played straight in this book. The levels of steam are cranked up to eleven this time around.
* IamWhatIAm: In the end, [[spoiler: Whittaker]] embraces what he is. [[spoiler: And gets a girlfriend, an age bonus, and cool superpowers out of it.]]
* ImAHumanitarian: The story begins with two of the main characters searching for a serial killer who burns children alive before eating them.
* LivingShadow: Several of them near the end.
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The [[spoiler: Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]]. They haven't been around long enough to qualify as an AncientConspiracy, but if this trope is played straight for the remainder of the series, you know this won't be the last we've seen of them!
* SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome: [[spoiler: Whittaker goes through this]] as a result of bonding with a creature of angst.
* SuicideByCop: [[spoiler: Whittaker's]] master plan turns out to be this.
* WildChild: [[spoiler: Jynx]] has shades of this at first. She doesn't speak, leaving a Wood Goblin to fill in the blanks for people.
