* ExperimentedInCollege: Discussed, attempted to be invoked, and averted in "Whither Thou Goest" - Mabel is terrified that Pacifica will be 'Lesbian Until Graduation', Preston attempts to force Pacifica to give up Mabel and find a husband, and Pacifica tells her father she's staying with Mabel.
* FantasticVoyagePlot: "Founding the Foundation" involves a miniature submarine and attempts to cure Vivian's cancer with it.
* FramingTheGuiltyParty: In "Let the Punishment Fit the Crime", Calvin and Susie plant alcohol in Billy's room to let his parents know what he's really getting up to at college.
* FauxbaFett: Delft Phaltar, as described in "The Collar 4: Halloween", is the evil bounty hunter from Space Adventure 5 and 6, with blue and grey armor.
* GenderBender: Phineas - aka Phoebe - in "Phineas the Fireside Girl".
* GoGoEnslavement:
** Isabella's costume in "The Collar 4: Halloween" is modeled on Leia's slave bikini from ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.
**
Many of the slaves at the Slave Owners' Dinner and Dance in ''Nothing Civil About War''.
* HerBoyfriendsJacket: Isabella borrows Phineas's jacket at the end of "Miles Apart"; notably, they aren't actually dating yet, but it's one of the things that tells them that maybe they should be.
*
IHaveNoSon: Tommy's family disowns him in "The Last Place You Look".
* IndenturedServitude: Used as 'slavery under a different name' in "Under Contract".
* IntimateHealing: Phineas and Isabella need to huddle together for warmth, after removing wet clothes, in "Ice Station Ferb".
* JustFriends: Common between Phineas and Isabella, with the RelationshipUpgrade coming along later. "Like Kissing Her Brother" is perhaps the best example, with "Back In Time For Dinner" a close second.



* MexicoCalledTheyWantTexasBack: Downplayed in ''Second American Civil War''; Mexico has retaken Los Angeles but gone no further than that.
* {{NSFW}}: Some of his work, particularly "The Collar" series.
* OfCourseImNotAVirgin: Darcy in "Sacrifice", which causes problems for the cultists planning a VirginSacrifice.



* {{NSFW}}: Some of his work

to:

* {{NSFW}}: Some of OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Calvin asking if the stuffed tiger is his, in "Just a Stuffed Tiger". That question terrifies his workparents, because it's a sign that something is terribly wrong.
* {{Pastiche}}: ''Space Adventure'', as it appears in the ASV Hornet episodes, is largely ''Franchise/StarTrek'' pastiche. In "The Collar", it's more ''Franchise/StarWars'' pastiche. (In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', it's described with elements of both.)
* PrematureBirthTrauma: Vanessa in "The Doofenshmirtzes".
* RomanticFakeRealTurn: Steve and Darcy in "Tactical Considerations". Sick of blind dates, they decide to pretend to date to convince their friends to leave them alone for a while, only to find themselves caring when they promised they wouldn't.


Added DiffLines:

* SexSlave:
** Ginger, in the backstory of ''Second American Civil War'', and the fate of many other slaves in that series.
** Vanessa, in "Under Contract".

* ShipperOnDeck:
** Perry often does this, for Ferb and Vanessa ("Mistletoe/Brother-Verse") and Phineas and Isabella ("And You Don't Know Why But You're Dying To Try").
** Jane, Bucky, and Natasha in "Tactical Considerations", trying to get Steve and Darcy together.
* ShirtlessCaptives: Male slaves being auctioned in ''Nothing Civil About War'' wear just a pair of shorts.
* ShowWithinAShow: The "ASV Hornet" series involves ''Space Adventure'' fanfic written by Isabella.
* SideBet: The family betting pool about when Phineas and Isabella get together in "Don't Think of a Purple Elephant".
* SlaveCollar:
** In the slave fics "Under Contract" and ''Second American Civil War'', combined with ShockCollar and TrackingDevice as instruments of legal slavery.
** Much more voluntarily by Isabella in "The Collar" and its sequels, where it's just her and Phineas being kinky.
* SleepCute: Everybody at the end of "Two Halves Make A Whole"; Phineas and Isabella are curled up together, and Ferb is sleeping with his head on Vanessa's lap.
* SlippingAMickey: Billy does something to Susie's drink in "Let The Punishment Fit The Crime".
* SnowedIn: "Stuck In The Middle With You" and "Storm Warning" snow in Phineas and Isabella, and Ferb and Vanessa, respectively, in the same snow storm. This leads to RelationshipUpgrade|s for both.


Added DiffLines:

* SuddenlySignificantCity: Chicago becomes the US Capital in ''Second American Civil War'', after DC was nuked.


Added DiffLines:

* SympatheticSlaveOwner:
** Ferb, in "Under Contract", who bought his girlfriend's indenture to protect her.
** Phineas, in ''Nothing Civil About War''. He didn't intend to buy a slave, and once he did, he wanted to keep her safe.
* TenMinutesInTheCloset:
** Between Baljeet and Adyson in "Fresh Ginger". They don't do anything, but the experience makes Baljeet realize it's time to get serious about a relationship with Ginger.
** Phineas and Isabella get stuck together in the past for 48 hours, because Ferb is trying to force a RelationshipUpgrade between them.
* ThoughtAversionFailure: Ferb invokes this in "Don't Think of a Purple Elephant" to try to time a RelationshipUpgrade between Phineas and Isabella.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: Calvin in "Just a Stuffed Tiger", after a sledding accident means he doesn't even recognize Hobbes.


Added DiffLines:

* UnderTheMistletoe: In "Mistletoe Is Serious Business", with ShipperOnDeck Perry making sure Ferb and Vanessa end up underneath it. "Are You Sure, Ferb?" indicates that they ended up doing this for years before their RelationshipUpgrade.
* VirginSacrifice: The idea of the cultists in "Sacrifice", because surely Captain America wouldn't have premarital sex.
* XanatosGambit: Ferb, in "Don't Think of a Purple Elephant". If Phineas starts a relationship with Isabella too early, Ferb wins the bet with him. If he doesn't, Ferb wins the betting pool.
