  • Evil Is Cool: The Dark Triumvirate, 564, Duchess Epidermis, Cindersoul, and several other major threats seem to have fairly large fanbases despite (or perhaps because of) their monstrousness.
  • Friendly Fandoms: The Geneverse fandom often overlaps with a few other adventures with a similar feel, most notably The Human Game. The authors themselves also occasionally make crossover stuff as well.
  • Heartwarming Moments: The way Jacqueline managed to defuse a potential fight brewing between Clara and Omar in a way that settled both the individuals inhibitions. She reassured Clara that she would still be the the same person even with her side affects and helped settle the mutual distrust between her and Omar by telling them exactly how much she trusted him and why.
    Jacqueline: Look, from the moment you burst into the room, guns blazing, you were shouting at me to stop something malicious you thought I was doing. You were perfectly willing of throwing yourself into the jaws of someone who could have been capable of anything. That takes bravery and selflessness. Go last. We trust you.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Back when Aidan Byrne was first introduced people insisted on his name because it meant "raven of fire". K25f F used the name but explained that there was a good reason why they couldn't give him fire powers. Come the next chapter and we got Omar, an actual pyrokinetic and the aforementioned reason.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Lets just start with the copious amounts of Body Horror and go from there
  • Paranoia Fuel: Brother can see out of any reflective surface in his radius. Let that sink in.
    • Not to mention Anonymous, who can possess you, and do just about whatever he damn well pleases.
    • A Cold Light can fall on anyone...anywhere. Most of the time, it's fairly harmless. For others, well...let's just say people don't go to Hungary anymore. Or Arizona. Or Australia.
    • 564 can kill anyone on Earth. 564 can kill EVERYONE on Earth.
    • Geist is imperceptible. Geist can kill you and more or less erase you. Your corpse is blocked from other's perception. She's more or less the Chiasm Syndicate's brand of Cleanup Crew.
  • The Woobie: A lot of Chiasmata characters could arguably qualify considering their general situation, but Bonnie in particular deserves a mention due to to her "tests" being sadistic even by the locations standards, and the mutated limbs she gets in return.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: 564 of all people may turn out to be one, since the author claimed we would feel bad for them when we learned their backstory. Also they apparently haven't had fun since their seventh birthday.
