* FridgeHorror: Invoked in-universe at the end of ''The Curse'', where it's suggested that [[spoiler: Alex may have sexually assaulted Blaine at some point.]]

-->''Y U GUYS BE PSYCHIC, RIB?''

** Wes makes an offhand comment about Blaine falling so hard for someone that "it's a wonder you're not a vegetable from all the brain damage." Two chapters later in "Nikos," Blaine gets a concussion and David panics because ''[[RealityEnsues he doesn't want Blaine to get brain damage]]''.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: When Blaine visits Dalton again after transferring to [=McKinley=], Trent tells him "[[TrueCompanions Once a Warbler, always a Warbler.]]"

* HarsherInHindsight: The reveal of "I Am Unicorn" scared the author quite a bit. [[HilariousInHindsight And then made her laugh.]]

** But it goes right back to eerie when Blaine's age got retconned to sixteen and [[spoiler: [[TheirFirstTime he had sex with Kurt]]. It was pretty much what fic!Blaine ''wanted'' it to be like.]]

** But it goes right back to eerie when Blaine's age got retconned to sixteen and [[spoiler: [[TheirFirstTime he had sex with Kurt]].]] It was pretty much what fic!Blaine ''wanted'' it to be like.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: One of the Warblers mentions that "We all know Blaine's [[LetsWaitAwhile going to wait until]] [[TakeThat domestic-partnership]]" to sleep with Kurt. It's a hilarious TakeThat until we find out [[spoiler: Blaine lost his virginity at ''sixteen'' and deeply regrets it.]]

* RelationshipSue: [[{{Deconstruction}} Deconstructed]] with Blaine, who really ''is'' the perfect boyfriend... because [[TheWoobie he thinks anything less will make Kurt leave]].

** Blaine and Kurt's dreams.
** "The Midnight Carnival," where Kurt [[CryIntoChest cries into Blaine's chest.]]
** "The Magician" is where we find out just how bad Blaine feels about screwing up Kurt's life.
** The ending of "The Clock" is a big one, according to readers. Doubles as subverting ThePowerOfLove and being a MeaningfulEcho.
** TheReveal in "The Hunters," which is continued in "The Princess." It [[{{Deconstruction}} takes a sledgehammer]] to AManIsAlwaysEager and SexEqualsLove, puts a new perspective on Blaine's actions in "Sexy," and Blaine sings ''[[ReginaSpektor "Samson."]]''
-->'''Blaine:''' [[spoiler: I wish it was with you.]]
** [[spoiler: Terry]] tried to invoke a DanceOfRomance with Blaine. Unfortunately, Blaine is ObliviousToLove.
