15	!!Tropes included in ''To Light a Candle'':
16
17	* AllThereInTheManual: On the Fear Mythos forums the author mentioned that in the blogs canon the Skin-Taker was once Albert Fish.
18	* AtTheCrossroads: One of the reasons Jcarlson is able to [[spoiler:find and free Janice]] is due to the Crossroad of Trials. However, the Crossroad has a sort of [[BlueAndOrangeMorality blue and orange]] way of seeing things: it [[KillItWithFire immolates]] a man just for taking a cigarette.
19	* BadassTeacher: Jcarlson goes through hell in an attempt to rescue a kidnapped student.
20	* BigBad: [[spoiler:The Wooden Girl]]
21	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Jcarlson makes sure that Janice gets away and is safe, but he's stuck being the new Pirate Percy and now he has to find a ''new'' Janice to satisfy the Wooden Girl.]]
22	* CuckooNest: Happens when Jcarlson finds himself at Shady Lawn, a mental institution run by [[MadDoctor Dr. Beakman]].
23	* DrowningMySorrows: Jcarlson tries this during his HeroicBSOD.
24	* HeroicBSOD: Occurs after Jcarlson has to [[spoiler:slaughter a roomful of Puppets, all of them pleading for their lives even as the Wooden Girl forces them to attack]].
25	* MadDoctor: Dr. Beakman of Shady Lawn. Just what you would expect from an "Oathbreaker."
26	* MadnessMantra: "If I don't trust the doctor I won't get better. If I don't trust the doctor I won't get better. . ."
27	* PeoplePuppets: Par for the course with the Wooden Girl; however, the Candle Cove puppets are ''literally'' puppets that [[PuppetPermutation used to be people]].
28	* ShoutOut: Numerous. Many of his students were named after characters in Slenderman Vlogs the writer enjoys. Also contains shout outs to the Sarah Jane Adventures and Avatar the Last Airbender.
