* RedOniBlueOni: Luce is the brash, aggressive Red Oni held in check by the Main Character's and Yuri's calmer Blue Onis. Natsuki is also the feisty, bossy Red Oni to Amity's timid, self-conscious Blue Oni.

It turns out Creuset is actually the game's Player Character, who exhibited a much different personality than his best friend.]] Could be justified by the trauma they experienced and missing their friend combined with having been essentially re-raised by [[spoiler:Mackenzie]].
* ScarpiaUltimatum: Monika is held hostage and [[ColdBloodedTorture tortured cruelly]] in front of the Main Character unless he agrees to be with [[spoiler:Creuset]] instead. If he does, Monika's memories will be wiped of the torture -- and him, which Monika is even more afraid of than the torture she is almost broken by. The Main Character never has to choose, as his ArmorPiercingQuestion makes the BigBad leave before he's forced to give an answer.
* ShipTease: Apart from the Main Character and Monika being a confirmed item, the other two handlers get this with their Dokis.
* SirSwearsALot: [[HypocriticalHumor Tone it the fuck down, Luce.]] It leads into FunnyMoments when Luce tries to censor herself around Amity, who she thinks is a kid, and does a bad job of it.
* ToughLove: Natsuki's determination to help Amity gain confidence veers into this on occasion.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Creuset]] suffers one when [[spoiler:reunited with the kind and forgiving Sayori, her childhood friend]], and breaks down into tears of self loathing in guilt over what she's done in a less-composed version of Monika's HeelRealization in the source material.
* VillainousCrush: [[spoiler:Creuset]] realizes she has feelings for the Main Character despite initially planning to discard him from her plans when he defies her expectations. Because of this, she decides to keep him around and tortures and threatens Monika to convince him to agree to be with her.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Luce with everyone not named Yuri or Holly, who both get her gentler side.
* WhamLine: In Chapter 47: "Remember what you used to say? That [[spoiler:you always knew what's best for me?]]", which references dialogue from ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' and reveals Creuset's true identity.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: [[spoiler: Amity,]] who is referred to as a girl by other characters' narratives long after the InternalReveal of his real gender. Chapter 30, Deal:
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Creuset hates Monika for what she did but ultimately pulls similar acts to what she did, being a {{Yandere}} who tries to MurderTheHypotenuse and trap someone into being with her, without the excuse that Monika had that she at least believed her victims were not also sentient - Creuset
* WholesomeCrossdresser: [[spoiler: Amity.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Yuri becomes this for Luce after Holly's death.
* MediumAwareness: Creuset speaks to the audience about her thoughts on the other characters in the fanfic.
* NoNameGiven: The main character, who gets referred to by the InSeriesNickname "Sherlock" by Luce. Lampshaded by Creuset in "Found File, Open File?" and PlayedForLaughs in Chapter 35, when introductions are supposed to be being swapped:
---> '''Mackenzie:''' My name is Mackenzie Cadenza.
---> '''Main Character:''' I'm-
---> '''Mackenzie:''' (to Amity) You there. Why don't you introduce yourself?
** Creuset's criticizing the author's laziness in still not giving the Main Character a name so late into the story becomes HarsherInHindsight as of TheReveal, since [[spoiler:s/he was also not given a real name by Team Salvato or Holly (being a HelloInsertNameHere character in the original game), and only got a real name from Mackenzie]].
* OfficialCouple: The main character and Monika, who begin a romantic relationship when they're finally able to fully communicate with each other (kicking off the plot) and care enough for each other to eventually start planning to get married -- despite the minor issue of the nature of Monika's existence.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Amity is mistaken as a kid by the Main Character and Luce, despite being old enough to live alone and have a job. Seems to be a malnutrition issue like Natsuki, as she references eating very little and being staggered by the comparably enormous portions served at restaurants.
* RedOniBlueOni: Luce is the brash, aggressive Red Oni held in check by the Main Character's and Yuri's calmer Blue Onis. Natsuki is also the feisty, bossy Red Oni to Amity's timid, self-conscious Blue Oni. When Luce and Amity meet, they inevitably clash like their Dokis Yuri and Natsuki did in the game, though interestingly Luce's personality is more similar to Natsuki's personality than Amity's and Amity's personality is more similar to Yuri's personality than Luce's (even if their issues align more with their respective Dokis), meaning the other acts more like the Doki they so admire than they themselves do. Sure enough, they start getting along.
* TheReveal: Many readers guessed early on that [[spoiler:Creuset was Sayori. Chapter 47 reveals that it was actually the Player Character trying to avenge his, now her, friends by harming Monika.]]

* YouAreWorthHell: Monika begs the Main Character to let her keep her memories of him, despite the memories of torture she would have to keep as well and the permanent state of AFateWorseThanDeath it'd entail. Considering the desperate lengths she's gone through before in attempt for love and her complete acceptance of her own deletion in the game, it's not only in-character but a major TearJerker that she'd give up life in the real world and accept such a fate just to be able to remember him.

* ILetGwenStacyDie: Luce feels this way with her best friend Holly. Before the story proper, Luce wrote a manuscript where Holly was the editor. Luce had no intentions of publishing her work but then decided to do so to surprise her by having it published then telling Holly. Holly managed to learn of this and even saw Luce's manuscript got approved way before Luce could tell her. Unfortunately, Holly had a weak heart and the excitement of the news caused her to have a heart attack then die of cardiac arrest. The worst part? Luce was the one who found Holly dead.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12729971/1/The-Awakening-of-Monika/ The Awakening of Monika]], written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7913960/ZoomFlare ZoomFlare]] and published on FanFiction on November 19, 2017, is about a unnamed protagonist who leaves a laptop running the game Doki Doki Literature Club on Act Three. After three months, Monika began to talk to the protagonist. This leads to the protagonist getting along with Monika and finding ways to make her comfortable as [[ArtificialIntelligence a being on a computer]].
The Awakening of Monika is a first person narrative following the perspectives of the protagonist and other characters the protagonist later meets in the story. Between chapters are Secret Poems, similar to Doki Doki Literature Club's special poems, written by the club members from Doki Doki Literature Club except for one poem. Each poem illustrates the thoughts of a character in the story, though it is not said who wrote them however it is easy to discern who wrote them.
