10	* CallForward: Marty mentions an interest in time travel.
11	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Doc accidentally crippled a girl when his flying machine went awry. This accounts for some of his bad reputation.
12	* ForbiddenFriendship: Lorraine is initially nervous about Marty and Doc's relationship because of the rumors and because of the [[MistakenForPedophile age gap]], but when Doc helps Marty learn to read and does not hurt him during the times Marty is alone with him, she loosens up.
13	* HandGagging: Hank does this as he kidnaps Marty from Doc's garage.
14	* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: Doc tries to break off with Marty to protect him from community disapproval and worse.
15	* ItWillNeverCatchOn: Marty tells Doc about a time he suggested to a friend that they play that Superman went back in time, only for the friend to dismiss it as stupid. Four years after the fanfic's setting, ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'' came out, and guess what happened?
16	* MaliciousSlander: Hank harasses Doc by spreading nasty stories about his sanity and activities.
17	* MoralMyopia: Hank. {{Lampshaded}} by Doc, who wonders how Hank can care so much about Doc accidentally crippling Holly while being completely unconcerned about threatening Marty.
18	* MyGreatestFailure: Doc still regrets the day one of his inventions malfunctioned and crippled Holly Webb.

27	* WouldHurtAChild: Hank kidnaps the six-year-old Marty, threatens to shoot him if he doesn't stop screaming for help, and eventually throws him into an icy lake.
