* ShoutOut: Aside from the obvious references to ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' and ''CthulhuMythos'' there are a few.
** A reference to Creator/JKRowling is made in the original fic. Apparently, she has very few fans among Shadowkind due to "misconceptions" she has about magic and supernatural beings. To give one example, when ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets'' was released, the Shadowchasers got dozens of letters from pixies who lived in Cornwall claiming that they had been slandered. One thing that Rowling did get right: the tears of a phoenix can heal wounds. Shichiro explains to Ember that Rowling was a Mundane who had '''no idea''' the supernatural was real and only had her imagination and research to work with, so she was bound to get so many details wrong.
** There was also a brief reference to Creator/JRRTolkien, where it is said that his interpretation of the enimity between elves and orcs was pretty accurate. (Except for his assumption that orcs used to be elves; in truth, ''both'' races would be disgusted at the thought that they were even ''slightly'' related.)
** After Draco's interferance sends Shichiro and Jalal to a pocket dimension, Shichiro remarks that they may have "taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque". (Jalal either doesn't "get" the joke or simply disregards it.)
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: In the original fic, Gears at one point duels a brainwashed Mistle who calls him [[EmbarrassingFirstName Maurice]] during the duel, this only confirms to Gears that Mistle really ''is'' brainwashed because she would not call him that even in their worst arguments.

* BreakTheHaughty: Happens to Edmund in a big way after Ember defeats him in a duel (standard case of the [[SmugSnake overconfident villain being bested by someone he didn't think was worthy; they never learn).
* CoolBigSis: Jinx becomes this to Ember, sort of.
* GoGoEnslavement: An unintentional example happens to Ember after she is taken prisoner by Draco. [[spoiler: When Jalal and the rest of the Neo Domino Shadowchasers confront Draco and try to rescue Ember, they find out that Draco bound her to a lamp that forces her to obey him. To top it all off, the lamp forces her to wear a revealing harem girl's outfit. (Draco insisted that he did it because he didn't want to resort to tying her up, and did NOT know the lamp would change her clothes.) Jinx even makes a snide remark that she'd rather be tied up than wear something like that.]]
