* AlternateHistory: Set in a VictorianLondon where people with superpowers emerged in 1896.
* AmbiguousDisorder:
** Augie's particular brand of severe social awkwardness and desperate inability to read the mood / nonverbal parts of conversations, his self-awareness that he's "odd," plus his obsessive interest in birds (established long before he was Touched), all are very recognizable to people who are on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. But given the time period, of course it's not labeled as such in-story.
** Dr. Hague's assistant manages to establish himself as considerably further along on the spectrum in the few lines he has. He outright says that he has difficulty reading emotions face-to-face and is totally hopeless when he's expected to do it over the phone. (Of course, it doesn't help the poor dude that he's working for sociopaths.)

Removal of What An Idiot potholes


* CannotTellALie: Désirée's turn - anyone who comes in contact with her while sufficiently agitated (during sex or otherwise) is compelled to tell her the truth about anything and everything. Backfires spectacularly on one john who is planning to have her killed for what she knows, and [[WhatAnIdiot sleeps with her beforehand anyways]], resulting in his accidentally warning her and prompting her to go to the Orphanage. [[invoked]]
