* UndeadTaxExemption: One of the [=SERRAted Edge=] novels mentions that an elven protagonist carries a magically-created driver's license (copied with alterations from a human friend's license). The novel in question predates the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REAL_ID_Act [=REAL ID=] Act]], so the forged license not being in any official databases is a moot point. Besides, all three protagonists are deliberately living "off the record" to hide from enemies.

* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: Played with in ''Born To Run'', one of the ''[=SERRAted Edge=]'' novels. During the final fight scene, an evil elf orders her elementals to deactivate the ammo in his pistol. She then ignores that hero, because his only weapon is the gun, and, well, see the trope name. Too bad she'd never learned about speedloaders. And if that hadn't worked, the hero would have simply clubbed her with his weapon.

* OurBansheesAreLouder: The ''[=SERRAted Edge=]'' novels have a male Banshee as an enemy of the elves, with a painful false etymology (mixing Gaelic with Old English) that banshees are the ''bane'' of the Sidhe.

Added DiffLines:

* CosmicDeadline: Mercedes Lackey's strengths are in worldbuilding and character's internal states. In most of her books, she writes characters finding their place in the world in loving detail with only a few suggestions about a BigBad or an overall plot; many of these books are primarily SliceOfLife by volume. The last quarter of a book tends to compress things far more and the climax is often very much faster.
