3
4More formally known as "The Dalton Boys Are Geeks," Spah Verse is the name of a Series/{{Glee}} fanfiction written by Infrared Phaeton on Website/LiveJournal. She started the series immediately after the airing of the episode Never Been Kissed, setting it in the newly introduced [[OneGenderSchool Dalton Academy]] [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys for Boys]]. The Spah Verse is popular on [=LiveJournal=], both because it was one of the first major attempts to construct a three-dimensional Dalton after the short glimpse on the show and because it has a widely varied cast of interesting and intricately-crafted OC's. A masterlist can be found [[http://infraredphaeton.livejournal.com/43131.html here]].

6!!This fanfiction provides examples of:
7
8* AirVentPassageway: Eric's favorite method of travel, both at Dalton and [=McKinley=].
9* AllGaysArePromiscuous: Not all of them, but Jim is very, very gay and very, very slutty.
10* AllThereInTheManual: Infrared Phaeton has pages of character notes and [[BackStory backstories]] for even the most minor OC's and occasionally publishes excerpts.
11* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Wes' little sister drives him crazy, despite being very much like him.
12* BerserkButton: Do not hurt Jim, unless you want something broken, lit on fire, or both by Lee.
13* {{Bifauxnen}}: [[Series/{{Glee}} Rachel Berry]], evidently. At least according to [[StupidSexyFlanders Eric]].
14* BoardingSchool: Dalton is the setting of the stories, the majority of the time.
15* CampGay: Surprisingly for a Series/{{Glee}} fanfiction, Jim fills this role better than Kurt.
16* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Lee is about the only guy Jim won't sleep with.
17* CastFullOfGay: It has been said that Melvin is the only straight boy at Dalton.
18* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Eric, the creepy little ginger hobbit.
19* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Liam has to make sure that Eric doesn't get into too much trouble.
20* ClusterFBomb: Lee, to such an extent that there is a warning posted every time he appears in a chapter.
21* CrazyPrepared: Eric comes equipped with maps and climbing harnesses, even while visiting another school.
22* CuddleBug: Jim, when drunk.
23* CuteMute: Pratik may not be a true mute, but he'd rather play out his feelings in music than talk.
24* EthicalSlut: Jim
25* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: Jim Bond is French. And sexy.
26* ForeignCultureFetish: Harry the anglophile. He is obsessed with [[UsefulNotes/TheBritishInvasion British music]] at the expense of American.
27* ForgetsToEat: Eric doesn't think about eating, and doesn't like to because "it makes him sleepy."
28* FriendVersusLover: Lee does not like Jim's choice in men.
29* GameMaster: Gary, though his type is as of yet unknown.
30* {{Gayborhood}}: Dalton Academy. See CastFullOfGay.
31* GayMoment: David thinks Kurt has a nice ass. [[AvertedTrope Averted]], since David is secure enough in his sexuality to not care when [[LampshadeHanging Wes points out what he just said]], to the disappointment of [[HeterosexualLifePartners Wes and David]] [[{{Shipping}} shippers]] everywhere.
32* [[GirlfriendInCanada Girlfriend In Alaska]]: Averted. David's girlfriend has been in Alaska for a really long time, but she is probably not made up.
33* GoingCommando: Jim, apparently most of the time.
34* HeterosexualLifePartners: This trope is so prevalent that it is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in Gary, who has eight friends that he is all equally as close to. Many readers will choose [[HoYay to ignore the heterosexual part of this trope]] [[{{Shipping}} for certain pairs]].
35* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Jim really needs to be more careful when choosing boyfriends.
36* IAmWhatIAm: Jim doesn't let anyone tell him he's wrong.
37* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: Jim's excuse for not dating Lee.
38* ItsAllAboutMe: It's all about [[{{Jerkass}} Eric]].
39* JerkJock: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Liam, despite Blaine's fears when they first meet.
40* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Lee swears worse than a sailor, hates just about everyone, and is a pyromaniac. On the other hand, he is fiercely loyal to those few people he doesn't hate, especially Jim.
41* LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Part of the reason for Jim's promiscuity.
42* LoveHurts: Poor, poor Lee.
43* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Lee, who is already angry at the world, will seriously hurt anyone who crosses Jim, because he's in love with him.
44* LustObject: Jim is this for almost everyone.
45* MakeOutPoint:
46** The art supply closet.
47** The "Makeout Couch" which is constantly lampshaded in the series.
48-> "'It's not our fault they chose that couch!' David said hotly, still whispering.
49-> 'Please. That's the make out couch. Everyone knows that,' Liam rolled his eyes."
50* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Jim, to the point that it's downright cruel to Lee.
51* MistakenForGay: Eric, when he is an exchange student at [=McKinley=]. It doesn't help that he [[HoYay refers to Liam as his boyfriend]].
52* TheNicknamer: Jim, in a big way. Sweet Thing, Kitten, Muppet, Sugarlips, Muffin, is there anyone he can't come up with one for?
53* NoSocialSkills: Eric.
54* OddCouple: Liam is quite possibly the most objectively normal of the OC's, while Eric is the least. [[OppositesAttract Naturally]], they are [[HeterosexualLifePartners best friends]].
55* OutOfCharacter: Wes and David are nothing like their canon counterparts, but the story started being written before they really had characters.
56* ReallyGetsAround: Jim
57* SexyDiscretionShot / FadeToBlack: Infraredphaeton has perfected what her fans call "implied porn" to the point that she could probably teach a master class on it.
58* ShoutOut: Many, from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' to ''Film/JamesBond''. The most commonly accepted title for the series is a ShoutOut to ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''.
59* SickeninglySweethearts: Harry and Pratik in the drabbles.
60* TheSilentBob: Pratik, who mostly speaks through song lyrics, gestures, and facial expressions.
61* SleepsWithEveryoneButYou: Lee is almost the only boy that Jim hasn't at least made out with, and probably the only one that he refuses to.
62* StalkerWithACrush: Eric, to [[LaserGuidedKarma Rachel]].
63* {{Stripperific}}: Jim's clothes are kind of... revealing.
64* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Eric again, as he evidently does not need air to live, instead living off of showtunes and [[{{Jerkass}} rage]].
65* [[TwinThreesomeFantasy Triplet Foursome Fantasy]]: Jim/Morrigan triplets.
66* TheTwink: Jim
67* UnresolvedSexualTension: Kurt and Blaine. [[spoiler:This continues even after Blaine asks Kurt to be his boyfriend. Despite having been on over ten dates, the two still haven't kissed.]] Most of the [[HeterosexualLifePartner Heterosexual Life Partnerships]] will have at least one [[{{Shipping}} fan]] who sees this in them.
68* WalkingShirtlessScene: Jim just doesn't like shirts.
69* WordOfDante: The original story has never portrayed Harry and Pratik as anything other than [[HeterosexualLifePartners friends]]. This has not stopped readers from asking everything from whether they're in love to whether they're already dating after a different author wrote a story about the two OC's as a case of SingleTargetSexuality.
