1	!!Tropes in the entire thing:
2
3	* TearJerker: Quite a few. Collin's conversation with his mother shortly after she finds proof that he's Fox's boyfriend; Collin's painkiller-induced confession that he doesn't like Fox paying attention to girls (and Fox's reaction); Bootsie/Anne's farewell to Collin and, conversely, her humiliating departure from her apartment in Chicago.
4	* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: Fandom had this reaction to a couple of Fox's escapades, such as the trip to Vegas and the Pirates storyline - not so much because of his WeirdnessMagnet tendencies, but because of his failure to let Collin know what was going on. Quite a few learned you should BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor by the finale.

6	!!Tropes in the comic from November 2008:
7
8	* BrokenBase: Given the fandom's amiable nature, it's not a true, cat-fighting broken base...but the FH/OPB transition split the group into distinct [[spoiler: Fox/Collin and Leon/Collin]] factions.
9	* FanonDiscontinuity: A rare example of the ''author'' advocating this. In the commentary to the final comic, she lists three possible outcomes for Fox and Collin. After stating that she already knows which one ''she'' is going to stick with, she reassured the audience that if they didn't like that, that's not the ending ''they'' had to go with. [[spoiler: Which was correctly interpreted as proof that Fox and Collin's relationship went down the drains inbetween FH and OPB.]].
10	* HarsherInHindsight: When Derringer is first introduced, Fox wants nothing to do with him, and is quick to stress that Collin is his "best friend." Fast forward to the comic's end, and Fox comments that ''Derringer'' is now his best friend.
11	** This can even make the happiest and most romantic scenes sad if you read the sequel comic: At the end of the Pirates storyline, Collin and Fox are overjoyed to be reunited and are kissing [[spoiler:- the last time the reader will see them do so -]] and making doe eyes at each other while Rudd, Kitty and Derringer carry on a conversation behind them. Rudd remarks that Collin reminds him of a Bond villain - all he needs is the cat. By O.P.B, Collin has acquired both the status and the cat, [[spoiler: at Fox's expense]].
12	* InformedWrongness: Fox is freaked out about Collin's Creed job and is even suspicious of his new company car. Fans, the plot and characters alike treated him as if he was being ridiculous. Webcomic/OtherPeoplesBusiness shows that he wasn't completely off target.
13	* TheWoobie: Fans were split on whether Fox or Collin were the Woobie for this time period - often it depends on who you blame for the relationship problems.
