Again, like how Syngenesophobia is with "Brawl in the Family", the story appears to be a direct assault towards "No Such Luck" due to the frequent amounts of Too Bleak, Stopped Caring it created with regards to how Lincoln was treated by his family.
A general Take That! has been given to the Loud girls' All Take and No Give relationship they typically have with Lincoln. In this fic, such a relationship wound up with the one on the receiving end (Lincoln) growing hateful of those who hurt them (the sisters).
Loudcest is skewered hard in Chapter 16; the other girls stare at Leni like she's sprouted a second head for suggesting what they think is a romantic outing with Lincoln and Leni has a minor Freak Out in disgust when she realizes what they think she's implied. Also earlier in Chapter 6, in Lynn's nightmare Luan suggestively asked if Lincoln, who was not born in her dream, is her "friend", to which Lynn in engrossed.
Chapter 18 could be seen as this for the fans that either give Lincoln the Draco in Leather Pants treatment or the Ron the Death Eater treatment. Lincoln admits that he was wrong for lying and letting the whole bad luck gone too long, but he didn't deserve the bad things that his family did to him as a result of it.
Chapter 22 serves as this trope to the basic plotline of "photos of someone doing something show up; despite the fact that several of them are clearly faked, everyone buys it immediately" since several characters call it out as stupid. Granted, it still works but it's clear that the people who are involved find the rest of the school's easy belief to be a massive Idiot Ball.
Take It In Stride
Possibly towards one about Lincoln being too lenient on his family in chapter 1, as mentioned in Wise Beyond Their Years, Lincoln states that he's not spiteful enough to do so.
Chapter 8 mentions the events of "Schooled" when Lincoln tried to switch middle school classes and Principal Ramirez decided to transfer him to Canada as a foreign exchange student instead. Unlike the episode, Lincoln doesn't end up going to Canada because Lynn Sr. and Rita were naturally so furious over their son being forced into a foreign exchange program that they threatened to talk to the superintendent of the school district to get Principal Ramirez fired if she didn't take Lincoln out of the program and honor Lincoln's request to switch classes. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne also point out how ridiculous the whole situation was and how ridiculous it would have been if Lynn Sr. and Rita did agree to it. The author explains in his notes for that chapter that he thought that the Canada bit in "Schooled" was completely unnecessary padding that was riddled with stereotypes to make the episode last longer past when it should have ended.
