6!!''The Art of Subconscious Illusion: Rewritten'' provides examples of:
7
8%% * AbusiveParent: The Invigilator, of all people.
9%% * AGodAmI: Light, for obvious reasons.
10%% * AllMenArePerverts: House, usually on Cuddy (although he did briefly entertain dating a teenager).
11%% * AppealToObscurity
12%% * BloodFromTheMouth
13%% * BunnyEarsLawyer
14%% * TheChosenOne
15%% * CrapSackWorld: Light's beliefs fall heavily into this category.
16* {{Crossover}}: Between ''Manga/DeathNote'' and ''Series/{{House}}'' of all things...
17%% * CuckooNest: [[spoiler: Light isn't Kira, he merely ''thinks'' he is.]]
18%% * DarkerAndEdgier
19%% * DarkMessiah
20%% * DeadpanSnarker
21%% * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: House in his first confrontation with Light, [[spoiler: the Kira-wannabe.]]
22* DisproportionateRetribution: Sure, House has done many things that any other doctor would be struck off the register for, and so has Foreman to a lesser extent, but it doesn't actually warrant [[spoiler: death by gravity-defied strangulation]].
23%% * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything
24%% * DrJerk
25%% * EvilLaugh
26%% * FlatWhat
27%% * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Light and Sayu. In that order.
28%% * GlowingEyesOfDoom
29%% * HospitalHottie: Cuddy.
30%% * JackTheRipOff
31%%* LastNameBasis
32* LeanAndMean: Noted in narrative when first seen by House as ''A skinny young man with no outward indication of physical strength pinning a distinguished doctor twice his age, twice his width from the middle and several inches taller against the wall by the Pharmacy and more than three inches off the ground.'' Indeed.
33%%* TheMentallyDisturbed
34* MythologyGag: One of House's patients is sick from eating too many potato chips, but not much else (to ''Manga/DeathNote''). Also, it's never Lupus.
35%% * NoSenseOfHumour
36%% * PsychologicalHorror: The entire story is built on this.
37%% * PsychoticSmirk: Absolutely made by Light.
38%% * RealMenWearPink: A man in the lift wearing a pink Nike cap.
39%% * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Cuddy
40%% * RedEyesTakeWarning
41* {{Rewrite}}: This fic has been rewritten a couple of times.
42%% * SarcasmMode: House
43%% * ScaryBlackMan: The Invigilator, whose very name was chosen due to RuleOfCool concerning wrestlers.
44* ShoutOut: Most of the chapter titles (and the fic title) come from songs by Avenged Sevenfold. The only exceptions of the chapter titles revealed are chapters 10 and 17, which are after songs by Black Veil Brides.
45%% * ShownTheirWork: Evident from as early as chapter 2 and the TB episode.
46%% * SlasherSmile
47%% * SocialDarwinist: On the bad ''doctors'', it seems.
48%% * SophisticatedAsHell: Light completely. Note that none of his dialogue [[spoiler: as 'Kira']] has any contractions.
49%% * SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: This is how Light's "Kira" persona manifests.]]
50%% * TakeThat
51%% * TallDarkAndSnarky
52%% * ThisIsUnforgivable
53* TimeSkip: The first chapter takes place in 'Mid-April 2006'. By the second chapter, it's already early September of the same year.
54* VillainHasAPoint: We know Light [[spoiler: kills/attempts to kill]], and it's directed onto those with crimes on their permanent records. We'd call this evil, but when [[spoiler: one would-be victim had actually beaten his infant son to death]], you kind of have to hand it to him.
