''Waerloga'' is a Slice of Live story about aliens called Ehiri or "Ethereals" [[TakeOverTheWorld who take over Earth]] in the course of four years told from the point of view of "Deedee Alisher", a teenager of Russian descent who has a [[CloudCuckooLander crazy]] [[DisappearedDad father]] and goes to live with her grandparents after her father [[DrivenToSuicide commits suicide]]. The story really starts when Deedee is chosen at a parade to be the [[EvilOverlord ruler's]] [[ArrangedMarriage bride]] and her real name, Dahlia revealed.

%%* {{Antihero}}: Deedee/Dahlia and Ellek both qualify.
%%* ArrangedMarriage: Dahlia and Ellek; they get along quite well in spite of that.
%%* AxCrazy: Thalia, who [[SlasherSmile grins through it all]]-until her punishment.
%%* BigBad: Ellek and Dahlia.
* ButNotTooForeign: Dahlia's children are part-Russian, part-"American" and half-Ethereal.

%%* CrapsackWorld: Oooh yeah.
%%* CreepyChild: Kell, who appears as sociopathic as Ellek.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: The worst punishment involves [[SealedEvilInACan trapping an Ehiri]] into a [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan body they can't control]] and ''[[AndIMustScream remaining aware]]''.
%%* DarkIsNotEvil: The civilian Ethereals, Mori especially.
%%* DisappearedDad: Lannon; it still counts. Also Deedee/Dahlia.
* DrivenToSuicide: Ben. He was already crazy, but the attack drove him over the edge.
* EldritchAbomination: Quite possibly the Ehiri. Some certainly ''look'' the part.
* EveryoneIsBi: Among the Ehiri, anyway, as apparent gender doesn't mean a thing.
%%* EvilOverlord: Ellek
%%* TheFairFolk: Possibly the Ehiri.
* FantasticRacism: "Nothing ever changes about [[ShoutOut fear and loathing]]." Also, Thalia's motivation.

%%* HumansAreBastards: Played with mercilessly.
* LightIsNotGood: Ellek, from his name (El=God) to his true, angelic appearance.

%%* MyNaymeIs: Deedee/Dahlia
