* DrugsAreBad: Since trolls mainly subsist on non-organic materials (plastics, metals, glass, etc), Jim usually digs through the recycling bin for his lunch. What he did not know on his second day was that his father James had a brick (1 kilogram of cocaine) in a black plastic box hidden in the recycling bun. Jim ends up eating all of it, going on a rampage. By the time his friends find him and take him to the hospital, he is unconscious, having vomited most of the drugs out of his system and suffering serious burns from sun exposure.

!!This fanfic provides examples of:
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Claire is mistakenly thought of being [=NotEnrique's=] teen mom by Bill Miller as he is threatening her.
* AllPartOfTheShow: When the conventioneer dressed as [[Manga/DeathNote Ryuk]] assaults Jim, trying to rip his horns off, Jim loses his temper and throws him into the crowd, complete with an animalistic roar, only for the crowd to cheer harder in response.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler:It turns out that Merlin was the reason Morgana turned evil in the first place, having cut off her hand while she slept unprovoked to forge the Amulet, forced her brother Arthur into the role of king and hero similar to Jim. It is even implied that [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil he raped her one night]], [[MaritalRapeLicense leading to her divorcing him]]. Since their marriage was based around Troll-based traditions involving [[SoulPower soul magic]], the ritual used to divorce them left both of them [[TheSociopath unable to feel love, compassion, joy,]] etc. When Claire tells Merlin that she was told not to trust him by Morgana, he does nothing to deny being any more trustworthy than Morgana.]]
* BizarreAlienBiology: During his time at [[spoiler:the precinct after being arrested]], Jim's half-troll biology is given more elaboration. He has no discernible fingerprints, and his urine sample was so bizarre that the medical professional thinks that he was either prnanking them or was in need of immediate medical attention
--> '''Nurse:''' He needs to go to the hospital, ASAP. His sample shows an extreme level of RBC and WBC count, all sorts of weird bacteria and crystals...the crystal count is amazing. Your kidneys must just be stones at this point. …but his pH is… his urine is basically battery acid. It ate through the cup!\\
'''Jim:''' I'm not exactly…normal, anatomically speaking. I'm probably fine.
'''Nurse:''' This pH balance is not normal, Mr. Lake! If it was a little lower, I might feel a little better, but it still would mean your kidneys weren't working… I have no idea what this means!
* BribingYourWayToVictory: One conventioneer could tell that Jim and Claire are not staying in a hotel and try to bribe them with paying for a night at a hotel and dinner if Jim drops out of the costume contest.
* ConMan: [[spoiler:Bill Miller offered to buy the Heartstone with the hope of adding it to his collection. When Claire refuses, he threatens to make the authorities think they stole it from him, only for the ''actual'' owners of the calcite he claims were stolen to show up and out ''him'' as the thief.]]
* ContrivedCoincidence: While Claire and Merlin have breakfast, a police officer goes up to Jim in the car and tell him [[spoiler:that a large calcite stone was stolen from a nearby Mineral Museum, becoming suspicious of Jim when he sees the Heartstone, leading to his arrest.]]
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: As Claire and Jim find him new clothes to wear (Jim having finally removed his armor), he and Claire are confused for conventioneers at a Horror Convention in the town nearby.

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: [[spoiler:It turns out that Morgana Le Fay only did everything she did because Merlin forced her brother Arthur into the role of hero much like with Jim and then cut of her hand against her will to make the Amulet after Arthur died, Gunmar her way of getting revenge. After being able to calm down in the Shadow Realm, she offers Claire an opportunity to learn magic and warns her to be wary of Merlin.]]
* ShoutOut: Claire tells Jim that wearing his armor would increase his chances of winning the costume contest, saying that it is "super [[TronLines Tron]]". Jim then remarks that she is right, not wanting a "[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Spongebob]] moment up on stage."
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: One random conventioneer dressed as [[Manga/DeathNote Ryuk]] nitpicks how "troll knights" are not a thing in pop culture when he sees Jim's "costume."
