16!!! Tropes associated with FanFic/TheHarmonVerse
17
18* BreakingTheFourthWall: Where do we start...
19* CodeName: Jack has a tenedancy to give most of his friends and associates nicknames, but has given most of the [[OriginalCharacter OCs]] code names derived from the nursurey rhyme Tinker, Tailor and as an allusion to ''Literature/TinkerTailorSoldierSpy''.
20* DeadpanSnarker: Quite a few characters (Sue, Jack, Puck, pretty much everyone who's a snarker in Glee itself), but this is Daniel's defining character trait.
21** Meta-Fictional: [[WorldOfSnark All of the writers in this universe are this to some degree]].
22* DependingOnTheWriter: In the hands of Soulless Warlock and Gone Rampant, the HarmonVerse takes on a more surreal and absurd turn while Cola-Flavoured-Sherbert and ZeroBen's interpretation of it are more realistic...Well, as realistic as a universe centered around ''Series/{{Glee}}'' can be. The character portrayals are pretty consistent, however.
23* DestinationDefenestration: Jack and Daniel have both been thrown out of and through windows - and this was before they even got to Sectionals.
24* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: The end result of pissing Jack off. He also tends to do this a lot himself...as does Daniel.
25* DysfunctionalFamily: The Harmon family is this in spades. [[spoiler:Michelle]] seems to be a part of one as well. The Mayhew family also pretty much embodies this trope.
26* FamilyBusiness: HarmCo is a great example of this trope.
27* GenderBender: One for most of the Glee characters in an AlternateUniverse chapter of Pack. Turns out to only be a semi-version, as Soulless Warlock said in a private message that characters like Burt and Carole are still the same.
28* HappilyMarried: The older couples tend to have this.
29** Kristopher Harmon and Lisa Puckerman. Despite both of them going through bitter divorces years earlier and a 17-year age gap, the two are pretty happy together.
30** Dylan's parents, Matthew and Dawn Armstrong. Until [[spoiler: they died]].
31** There's no idication that Daniel's parents were unhappily married before [[spoiler: their deaths]].
32*** [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/GoneRampant Gone Rampant]] [[WordOfGod confirmed]] they were happily married.
33** Mitchell's parents seem to be reasonably happy.
34** Ridley's foster parents, Craig and Erica Bennett, are very happy together. It is also implied that Ridley's mother and stepfather, Elise and Byron, were happily married [[spoiler: though their marriage imploded after Elise was arrested for art forgery.]]
35* HeroOfAnotherStory: Jack, Mitchell, Dylan and Daniel to each other - while they all show up in See It My Way, A Different Point Of View, He's Alive/Through Our Eyes and Recap, they're all lesser characters in those works outside of their own.
36* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Happens quite a bit, [[LoveMartyr Michelle with Mitchell]], [[StalkerWithACrush Daniel with Rachel]], [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Jack with Rachel]], and [[HopelessSuitor Dylan and Brittany]] [[spoiler:until Season Three]].
37* ImagineSpot: Happens quite a bit, mostly in the form of flashbacks, but there have been several traditional uses of this trope (As with Glee itself, "Brittany/Britney" contains a good amount of it).
38* IfItsYouItsOkay: Played straight (no pun intended) with [[spoiler: Jack and Ethan]] at some point in season three. Though it's more than likely [[spoiler:Jack]] is [[ExperimentedInCollege experimenting]]
39* KickTheDog: Happens quite a few times in both FanFic/TheHarmonVerse canon and non-canon.
40* LoveDodecahedron
41* MeetCute: Although they didn't meet that way, Mitchell and Michelle have tendency to collide, trip and fall in each other's prescene.
42* MoralityPet
43** Kristopher, Rachel, Kurt and later [[spoiler:Puck and Beth]] for Jack
44** Mitchell for Quinn
45** Rachel and his [[ParentalSubstitute Uncle Joshua]] for Daniel
46** Jack for Ridley
47* MrFanservice: Jack and Dylan are normally the two characters who end up shirtless the most out of all the original characters, though the former ends up naked more often than not. They are both considered attractive by most women and [[EvenTheGuysWantHim even some of the men]].
48* OddFriendship: Jack and just about anyone he is friends with that isn't Rachel. He is [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], [[JerkAss rude]], and [[ComedicSociopath mildly demented]], but he [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold always comes through in the end]].
49* RememberTheNewGuy: Averted and possibly subverted. Considering that the whole deal with the glee club is taking in talent, it allows for the new characters to jump into the story at any given interval.
50* SelfDeprecation: Most of the OC's have moments where they take shots at themselves, and the authors also do this in the notes.
51* ShoutOut: Jack's behaviour, clothing style and personality sometimes mirror Sheldon from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', Sterling Archer from ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'', Pierce from ''Series/{{Community}}'' and Barney from ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''.
52** Daniel takes visual cues from [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Angel]] and has a deadpan behaviour similar to Sherlock in the BBC 2010 remake.
53* SpinOff: Red Vs Glee, which focuses on stories in the ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' universe.
54* StalkerWithACrush: Daniel and, on occassion, Jack and Mitchell. Though this is mostly PlayedForLaughs.
55* TheStationsOfTheCanon: There are some divergences from canon with the relationships, but the main arcs are mostly faithful to the show.
56* TallDarkAndSnarky: Jack and Daniel. Sue and Puck are this as well.
57* TrueCompanions: The entire Glee club, whether they be canon or fanon, exemplify this trope.
58* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Jack and Daniel's primary function.
59* WorldOfSnark: It's Glee. Everyone's had a shot at it one time or another.
