* AssholeVictim: In "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6585233/1/Escape-from-Avalon Escape from Avalon]]", Quentin Marsden is visited by a man who informs him that his grandson has been officially declared dead, and when Marsden shows more interest in getting back to a TV show he was watching, the messenger has no problem obeying his instructions to play a 'joke' that leaves Marsden convinced he's been poisoned. Prior to this, Xanatos's research into Quentin's life confirmed that the man was the worst kind of preacher who considered it his God-given right to enforce his authority on others, even when he drove his niece to suicide, to say nothing of how he discreetly abused Phil.

* IncompatibleOrientation: Features in the New Orleans storyline regarding Robert, a gay male gargoyle who lost his human mate a year ago. Considering the relatively small size of the gargoyle breeding pool, some of his clan are prejudiced against Robert, who is so gay that it's impossible for him to be aroused by women. He and his best friend in the clan, Rebecca, once attempted to mate as they were genuinely fond of each other, but the experience just ended up embarrassing for both parties. [[spoiler:After they and Lexington become a mated trio, Robert and Rebecca are only able to mate after Lexington helped get Robert suitably aroused]].

* ProphecyTwist: WordOfGod confirms that this would apply to Oliver Grimm's fate; [[spoiler:his vendetta against gargoyles is based on a prophecy he was told centuries ago that a half-blood "child of stone" would see him die, which he interpreted as meaning that he would be killed by a human/gargoyle hybrid. However, as planned, the half-blood child of stone is actually Bethany Marsden, who is part-fey by heritage and would have just been officially adopted by her new stepfather Matt ''Bluestone'', and she only sees Grimm die in the sense that she's present at his death, as Grimm would actually be killed by Matt after he tries to take Bethany hostage]].

* DropTheHammer: The Quarrymen are an obvious threat to the clan, with their hammers capable of shattering a gargoyle in stone sleep and the weapons' electrical capabilities making them a further threat in battle at night.

** [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/503293/1/The-Times-They-Are-a-Changin The Times, They Are a-Changin’]]” gives one to Demona of all people, as her first meeting with the People for Interspecies Tolerance when they approach 'Dominique Destine' for corporate funding forces Demona to acknowledge that there are humans who want to befriend gargoyles just because it's the right thing to do, particularly when she overhears one of the P.I.T. members (who didn't know about her history) say that ‘Destine’ has clearly spent so long hating that she can't stop because it would force her to face that her life has been pointless. She experiences a more personal version of this when she [[spoiler:joins the Ishimura Clan and learns the real fate of the Japanese clan she once joined; she assumed that the humans had betrayed that clan to the Hunters, but later overhears a story that reveals that the clan's human allies were simply overwhelmed by their enemies, and a human even helped to save a rookery keeper and a few of the eggs]].
