* RedStringOfFate: {{Deconstructed}} to various degrees with both the vampire mate bond and the wolf imprint systems.
* ReduceAggro: [[spoiler:Allirea's power is used for this in the final confrontation with the Volturi, deflecting notice from herself and Nathan while they first hold off the wolves long enough for Elspeth to deprogram them all, and then enter the compound and take apart most of the vampires inside.]]

* RelationshipCompression: Simultaneously inverted and played straight. On the one hand, Bella tempers her attraction to Edward and doesn't come to feel she's in love with him until she's gotten to know him over months. However, she also decides pretty quickly that she wants to be a vampire for its own sake, even knowing this will include forming a reciprocal [[OneTrueLove mate bond]] to Edward. [[spoiler:They're married less than a week after her turning, about five months after they first met and over a year earlier than they did in canon.]]

alphabetize by displayed name + make it read less like "but it's a good use of tropes (normally tropes is bad) i promise"


* EleventhHourSuperpower: Throughout the first book, Bella ponders the nature of her power and experiments with increasing its flexibility. It comes to a head in the climax, as she succeeds in getting her shield to [[spoiler:protect her from physical damage]] just in time to save her when she's [[spoiler: set on fire]].



* EleventhHourSuperpower: Bella succeeds in getting her shield to [[spoiler:protect her from physical damage]] just in time to save her when she's [[spoiler: set on fire]]. Justified in that previous chapters foreshadowed this by showing Bella pondering the nature and limitations of her powers and experimenting with how flexible they could be.

Added DiffLines:

* AscendedFridgeHorror:
** One oft-cited bit of fridge horror in [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga canon]] is the fact that, as a vampire, Bella will eventually have to disappear and let her parents think she's died. [[spoiler:At the end of ''Luminosity'', she has to do just that after falling afoul of the Volturi. She does get to reunite with them in ''Radiance'', by then almost six years have passed.]]
** In canon, vampires can only be destroyed by fire, so their bodies can theoretically be [[ImmortalityHurts broken into arbitrarily many pieces]] with no lasting effects once they're put back together. This is taken to its logical conclusion with [[spoiler:the "witch dungeon", where the Volturi keep prisoners broken into gravel for ''years'' so Addy can [[PowerCopying copy]] and use their powers]].

Tropes present in a work are assumed to be present and unchanged in any fanworks and therefore shouldn't be listed on fanfic pages unless the fanfic changes something.


* FantasticSlur: "Leech" is one for vampires, as in the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' books.



* ForWantOfANail: The main divergence from Twilight canon is that Bella has a different personality. There are also characters introduced who don't appear in Twilight, and Chelsea is more powerful than her canon self is implied to be, but most of the other departures from canon happen as a direct result of Bella's decisions.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: In ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' tradition.



* TakeThat:
** Bella’s comments on how a name [[{{Portmanteau}} combining Renée and Esme]] would sound like a Franchise/{{Pokemon}}.
** The ''premise'' of this fic looks like one, but the author actually likes Twilight.

* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Bella is willing to kill Aro as a probably-necessary step to remove him from power, but it's Chelsea that she wants personal vengeance on for [[spoiler:using her power on Elspeth and Edward]] in ''Radiance''.

* TwinTelepathy: {{Discussed|Trope}} when Rachel first activates as a werewolf -- as a child, when Becky fell down the stairs and broke her arm, Rachel didn't feel anything, so she knows there's no such thing as a magical twin link, but she always pretended it was real anyway, and the way she feels as a werewolf without a pack is the way she imagined she'd feel if Becky were to die.

* CallingMeALogarithm: Bella explains in Chapter 1 one reason why she doesn't use her notebook in front of her peers.
-->I'd been cured of that particular hypergraphic urge when a classmate of mine in the eighth grade had looked over my shoulder, been confused by my description of her as "wee", and thrown the notebook into a lavatory puddle.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Chelsea constantly thinks "Everyone must love me."
