* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Downplayed with Lute. While she's still an angel like in the canon series, it's not clear if she's a natural-born angel or a really, ''really'', '''''really''''' old human soul who managed to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence (i.e. a "[[AngelicTransformation Winner]]"). In the fic, Lute is of the former interpretation and [[spoiler:heavily implied (if not implicitly) to be a horui as well]].

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Adam, which is a fundamental premise of the story. Make no mistake, he's still a misogynistic asshole who greatly enjoys slaughtering Sinners, just like in canon. However, his interactions with Charlie (and his first one with Emily) bring out his softer side, and even outside of that, he demonstrates positive aspects and characteristics that are absent from his canon incarnation.

* AgeLift: Inverted and justified. Since the fic starts off in 1920, Charlie is only 10 (by Hellborn years) compared to her older canon counterpart.

* AssholeVictim: While there are plenty of Sinners who didn't deserve to be killed by Adam and the Exorcists in the Extermination, Hell is still...Hell. there ''are'' Sinners who are [[BeyondRedemption fully unrepentant of their malicious actions]] that definitely earn their cruel demise.

* AssholeVictim: While there are plenty of Sinners who didn't deserve to be killed by Adam and the Exorcists in the Extermination, the canon series and its sister series show that Hell is still...Hell. there still '''{{Hell}}'''. There ''are'' Sinners who are were [[BeyondRedemption fully unrepentant of their malicious actions]] that definitely earn in life (whether for if they are an [[AtLeastIAdmitIt admitted]] CardCarryingVillain or a KnightTemplar with narcissistic delusions of their cruel demise."righteousness") and continue to do so after they've died and become demons. Ultimately, you'll be cheering for Adam, the Exorcists, or any other "nice" character (i.e. Lucifer and Alastor) giving those Sinners their eventual "just desserts".



** Lute is [[spoiler:a Heavenborn angel, making her views and beliefs ''very'' different from that of a Winner and a Sinner. Also, she's implicitly a houri for Adam, meaning her morality and beliefs center around what Adam wants her to be.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ComingOfAgeStory: While Adam gets most of the focus in the fic, Charlie and Emily's personal growth as they reconcile their WideEyedIdealist views with the [[GreyAndGrayMorality nuances of the world]] and think more heavily about what it means to be TheRedeemer is also important.


Added DiffLines:

* LoveBeforeFirstSight: More like ''Friendship Before First Sight''. When Charlie first hears about Emily from Adam in chapter 4, she immediately thinks of Emily as a very nice person and implicitly thinks of her as a good friend. Considering how their first meeting went in the canon series episode, "Welcome to Heaven", it's a major CallForward.
