19!!This fic provides examples of:
20%%* AbusiveAlienParents: Jessica's mom
21* AllGenesAreCodominant: Mostly averted by Ferb, who looks indistinguishable from a human sans the hair. Sorta averted by Jessica, who also appears human except for the hair and ears.
22* AlienAmongUs: Jessica, partially. Also, Ferb's apparently been one his whole life, he just never knew.
23%%* AlienHair: [[http://pffanon.wikia.com/wiki/File:Jessica.JPG Just look at it]].
24%%* AliensAreBastards: Well, at least their queen is.
25%%* {{Backstory}}: Jessica provides one in Chapter 5.
26%%* BrainWashed: For the most disturbing purpose possible.
27%%* CallBack: Several.
28* CharmPerson: The alien mother, as well as every other member of her race.
29* CatapultNightmare: Averted; Ferb wakes up from his bad dream quite realistically.
30%%* ContinuityNod: Quite a few, mostly in the first chapter.
31* CryIntoChest: Jessica breaks down against her brother's shoulder after they are reunited.
32%%* DarkAndTroubledPast: Jessica's life sucked pretty bad.
33%%* DeathEqualsRedemption: Jessica's mother.

36* DramaticEllipsis: Done twice in Jessica's story.
37* EmbarrassingFirstName: Ferb's full name is revealed to be "Ferdinand".
38* FaceFullOfAlienWingWong: Not seen, but mentioned in Jessica's [[BackStory backstory]]. Rare inversion where the alien needs a ''human'' to impregnate ''her''. The entire concept remains, however.
39* {{Foreshadowing}}: "Maybe I'm not a person."
40* FinalFirstHug: Not a hug, per se, but it's completely safe to assume that Jessica's mother didn't show any sort of affection to her daughter until her last moments of life.
41%%* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: The alien momma.
42%%* GPSEvidence: A literal example.
43%%* HalfHumanHybrid: Both the twins.
44* HeldGaze: Non-romantic example, the twins stare at each other for a great length of time when they first meet.
45* HenpeckedHusband: The alien mom literally ''brainwashed'' Dad in order to have the twins.
46* {{Homage}}: Ferb is half-alien half-human and apparently has green blood. [[Franchise/StarTrek Sound a little familiar]]?
47* HumansAreMorons: The alien race the twins were born from seem to think this.
48* InsistentTerminology: Ferb ''must'' be referred to by his nickname.
49* InterspeciesRomance: How the twins came along, though it was forced.
50%%* LongLostSibling: The whole plot, really.
51%%* MacGuffin: The GPS.
52%%* ManlyTears: See TearsOfJoy below.
53* MenDontCry: When retelling the story, Ferb always denies the fact that he cried when he was reunited with Jessica.
54* MessyHair: Jessica. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the fact that she's been living on the streets for months ''and'' is from another planet.
55* NotSoStoic: Ferb keeps his cool most of the story, just as he would in canon. [[ManlyTears Then he reunites with his sister]]...
56%%* NotQuiteHuman
57* OriginalCharacter: Jessica G. Fletcher
58* ParentalNeglect: Jessica was left with her nanny most of the time.
59* PuppeteerParasite: What the alien mom did to get dad to have kids with her.
60* PreemptiveShutUp: "Don't even need to say it, Bro."
61* PointyEars: Jessica sports a pair of these.
62* RubberForeheadAliens: Ferb and Jessica. They both are green-haired and Jessica has [[PointyEars pointed ears]].
63* SceneryPorn: The city of Danville at night is described like this.
64%%* SeparatedAtBirth

67* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: "...W-would your last name happen to be 'Fletcher'?"
68* StreetUrchin: Jessica lived as one of these for a small portion of her life. Though it is never specifically stated how long, it can be inferred to be at least several months.
69* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: Clearly, the aliens the twins were born from are ''far'' more advanced than we are
70* TearsOfJoy: Both the twins weep upon reunion.
71* TheCuckooLanderWasRight: Not in the actual story, but there ''was'' an episode where Candace theorized that Ferb was an alien.
72* TomboyishName: At the end of the story, Jessica is given the nickname "Jessie".
73* TryNotToDie: Phineas' request to Ferb before he leaves.
74* {{Tuckerization}}: Jessica's middle name is Grace, which is also the middle name of the author's sister.
75** Also, Jessica's brief bout of alien language is "Rebekah Faith Lee" spelled backwards. The identity of this person is currently unknown, though the author has confirmed that it is the name of somebody important in her life.
76* {{Understatement}}: Invoked; when Jessica mentions that her mother "...Wasn't the ''best'' mom in the universe.", Ferb suspects she's making an understatement.
77* UnnamedParent: The twins' mother is never given a name.
78* UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn: Ferb and Jessica, of course.
79%%* WildHair: See AlienHair above.
