6	!!Thrown Into Love provides examples of the following tropes:
7
8	* AuthorTract: Edgar is a lot like the Author himself.
9	* BerserkButton: Try calling Edgar ‘Ed’ and see what happens.
10	* CharacterDevelopment: Everyone gets some, but it's the most noticable with [[spoiler:Chris]].
11	* ClingyJealousGirl / StalkerWithACrush: [[spoiler: Daisy]].
12	* TheDandy: Nick.
13	* DoorStopper: Yeah. Be prepared to read thirty chapters, excluding the prologue and the epilogue. It's more ambitious than most of my work.
14	* [[spoiler:IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: Edgar reacts exactly like this to his newfound feelings for Evelyn.]]
15	* IfICantHaveYou: Played straight and inverted. Played straight: [[spoiler:As soon as Edgar breaks up with Daisy, she tries to get him back by getting the other girls out of his life and acting like a stalker, especially towards Evelyn.]] Inverted: [[spoiler:When Edgar realizes his feelings for Evelyn, he tries desperately to get her together with Nick. Why? Because he thinks that his crush will end as soon as Evelyn's taken. He tries to stop his feelings this way.]]
16	* LikeBrotherAndSister: Edgar and Evelyn. Frequently lampshaded by both of them.
17	* LoveFreak: Evelyn is an adolescent version of this.
18	* MeetCute: Edgar met Daisy this way.
19	* MomentKiller
20	* PlatonicLifePartners: Again, Edgar and Evelyn. As the story continues, Edgar and Cathy begin acting like this too.
21	* [[spoiler:PsychoExGirlfriend: Daisy becomes this as soon as Edgar breaks up with her. However, Daisy had been acting psycho all along already, so it could be said that Daisy was like this trope from the start.]]
22	* {{Sequel}}: This story eventually had a one-shot as a kind of sequel, concerning a few characters from this story. You can read it [[http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2997109/1/No_Longer here]].
23	* ShipperOnDeck: Cathy actively ships Edgar/Evelyn. [[spoiler:A bit of a subversion later on, though, as she eventually confesses not actually ''expecting'' them to get together and it was more an excuse to tease. When Edgar confesses about his feelings for Evelyn, Cathy reacts genuinely surprised.]]
24	* ShownTheirWork: The author himself is a proud carrier of the brown belt.
25	* ShutUpKiss: [[spoiler: Daisy]] does this to [[spoiler: Edgar]] before they get together. At the end of the story, [[spoiler: Edgar himself]] does it to [[spoiler: Evelyn]] as well.
26	* TrueCompanions: As the story progresses, the connections between Edgars friends get stronger and stronger, eventually moving into this territory.
27	* [[spoiler: VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Edgar and Evelyn. To a lesser extent, Chris and Cathy as well.]]
28	* WhenSheSmiles: At the end of the prologue, it’s Daisy’s smile Edgar falls for.
