* OminousOwl: Played straight at first. The owls seem to be evil, and the ArcWords ''The Owl King is coming'' is extremely ominous. Ultimately, though, it's subverted -- it becomes clear that the owls are not evil so much as [[spoiler: a harbinger of the necessary endings of things.]]

** By extension of it, art and media must change and evolve with the times. The worst thing you can do to an art form, especially one you love, is to hold it as fixed and unchangeable and deny emerging new ideas and concepts. [[spoiler:There is a symbolism in Zachary and Kat, two avid gamers, being implied to take significant part in creating a new Harbor, with the implication there being that games, movies, etc. are as valid as forms of storytelling and art as books, despite being newer.]]

* AbusiveParents: Downplayed, but Zachary's mother seems very blasé about the fact her only son has been missing for more than a year when Kat goes to visit her. Kat is the one who spends time being scared he could be dead and investigating his disappearance. Then again, it's heavily implied that she knows what actually happened to him.

* ChekhovsGunman: Almost every character that appears in the stories woven around Zachary's narrative is revealed to either be a character Zachary has already met (most importantly, [[spoiler: Fate and Time are Mirabel and the Keeper]]), or shows up to help Zachary or Dorian.
