1''Waerloga'' is a Slice of Live story about aliens called Ehiri or "Ethereals" [[TakeOverTheWorld who take over Earth]] in the course of four years told from the point of view of "Deedee Alisher", a teenager of Russian descent who has a [[CloudCuckooLander crazy]] [[DisappearedDad father]] and goes to live with her grandparents after her father [[DrivenToSuicide commits suicide]]. The story really starts when Deedee is chosen at a parade to be the [[EvilOverlord ruler's]] [[ArrangedMarriage bride]] and her real name, Dahlia revealed.

3----
4!! Provides examples of:
5
6* AmbiguousGender: The Ehiri/Ethereals, who are born this way and choose gender around puberty.
7%%* AndIMustScream: A punishment for [[YouHaveFailedMe errant Ethereals]].
8%%* {{Antihero}}: Deedee/Dahlia and Ellek both qualify.
9%%* ArrangedMarriage: Dahlia and Ellek; they get along quite well in spite of that.
10%%* AxCrazy: Thalia, who [[SlasherSmile grins through it all]]-until her punishment.
11%%* BigBad: Ellek and Dahlia.
12* ButNotTooForeign: Dahlia's children are part-Russian, part-"American" and half-Ethereal.
13* TheCasanova: Ellek, who in [[ShapeShifter different forms]] can-[[ReallyGetsAround and will]] seduce anyone.
14* CloudCuckooLander: Ben, who completely lost it after his wife died.
15%%* CrapsackWorld: Oooh yeah.
16%%* CreepyChild: Kell, who appears as sociopathic as Ellek.
17* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: The worst punishment involves [[SealedEvilInACan trapping an Ehiri]] into a [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan body they can't control]] and ''[[AndIMustScream remaining aware]]''.
18%%* DarkIsNotEvil: The civilian Ethereals, Mori especially.
19%%* DisappearedDad: Lannon; it still counts. Also Deedee/Dahlia.
20* DrivenToSuicide: Ben. He was already crazy, but the attack drove him over the edge.
21* EldritchAbomination: Quite possibly the Ehiri. Some certainly ''look'' the part.
22* EveryoneIsBi: Among the Ehiri, anyway, as apparent gender doesn't mean a thing.
23%%* EvilOverlord: Ellek
24%%* TheFairFolk: Possibly the Ehiri.
25* FantasticRacism: "Nothing ever changes about [[ShoutOut fear and loathing]]." Also, Thalia's motivation.
26* ForTheEvulz: Ellek decided to take over because it ''amuses him''.
27%%* [[UnwantedHarem Harem]]: Ellek has one.
28%%* HumansAreBastards: Played with mercilessly.
29* LightIsNotGood: Ellek, from his name (El=God) to his true, angelic appearance.
30* MeaningfulName: Ellek and Mori. (Mori is Japanese for "protect")
31* MindRape: Happens a ''lot''; any outside of Ellek's inner circle are ''supposed'' to get punished for it, but that doesn't always happen.
32%%* MisterSeahorse: To Dahlia's amusement.
33%%* MyNaymeIs: Deedee/Dahlia
34* NearRapeExperience: Dahlia at age 14. [[spoiler: Her dad was [[RapeAsDrama not so lucky]].]]
35* NighInvulnerability: The Ethereals, some more than others, Ellek particularly.
36* NobleDemon: Mori, who is scary-looking but is actually a shy, kind Ehiri woman.
37* NonIndicativeFirstEpisode: Second chapter, actually. The angst lightens up considerably after that.
38* PhantomZone: The Ehiri plane, which has Earth-like places called 'Causality Zones'.
39* RapeAsDrama: It's strongly implied (but short of being stated outright) that [[spoiler: Ben was raped repeatedly.]]
40%%* ReallyGetsAround: Ellek.
41* LaResistance: A few, actually; none are actually organized or large enough to really do anything.
42%%* SadlyMythtaken: Played for laughs.
43* ShapeShifter: A number of Ehiri. Ellek can change his physical age, something no other Ethereal can do. Later, Mori, who is only able to shift to a human shell.
44%%* TakeThat: Some rather political ones.
45%%* VillainProtagonist: Nominally Dahlia and definitely Ellek.
46%%* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: In conjunction with HumansAreBastards.
47* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Ellek in both forms, his preferred one especially.
