6	!!This fanfic provides examples of:
7
8	* AbusiveParents: Weiss' father Jacques is an intimidating, abusive father predominantly towards her and Winter.
9	* AdaptationalSexuality: Weiss is lesbian and her brief interest in Neptune was [[TheBeard a cover]].
10	* AllTakeAndNoGive: How Weiss feels about Blake and Yang's relationship, with Blake as the "Taker" and Yang the "Giver". She understands that Yang loves Blake and the feeling may indeed be mutual, but her problem lies with how despite Yang giving Blake so much affection and care, in the end, Blake still threw it away to run off after Beacon's fall. The fact she has her own feelings for Yang that she tried to bury for their sakes does play a bit into it, but Yang herself comes to realize it after a bit of soul-searching and also decides that while she still loves Blake, she would rather be with Weiss, the person who's been trying to help her all this time.
11	* AlternateUniverseFic: ''Recovery'' is a take on ''RWBY'''s Volume 4 without insight on the actual volume.
12	* TheBeard: Weiss has only dated boys but isn't interested in them. It's for appearances only. Winter figured this out a long time ago simply by noticing how Weiss would talk about boys while noticing how she would look at attractive girls.
13	* EatingTheEyeCandy: Yang takes the time to appreciate Weiss's legs from her position working under a jeep (not that she realized it was Weiss at the time). Weiss meanwhile has to struggle not to get spell-bound looking at Yang's mix of muscles and womanly curves.
14	* HoldingHands: When Weiss first grabs onto Yang's hand in the fifth chapter, she goes beet red and lets go a moment later due to being unused to such affectionate gestures.
15	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: This is why Weiss buried her feelings for Yang, both because she saw how happy Yang was with Blake and because she was afraid her father would never let her be with Yang.
16	* MentalHealthRecoveryArc: As the title implies, the story is one for both Yang and Weiss. Yang recovers from her PTSD while Weiss recovers from her loneliness.
17	* SecondLove: Weiss is this for Yang when the blonde brawler comes to terms with both her lingering feelings for Blake and her newly discovered ones for the heiress.
18	* UnresolvedSexualTension: Yang and Weiss spend a lot of the story gawking at each other. After getting over their denial, they both keep mum because they think their feelings are unrequited.
