While she maintains the verbal abuse and pressuring her daughter to act like an AlphaBitch, this version also makes numerous mean-spirited shots at [[YouAreFat Amity's weight]], not to mention [[spoiler:sexually abusing and grooming her throughout much of her childhood]].

to:

* RepressedMemories: Amity has these from Odalia's abuse. To wit:
** When Amity knowingly eats an unhealthy cereal, Odalia, obsessive over Amity's weight, brutally beats her. Amity blocks this from her memory, unable to deal with the fact that her mother has abused her. She instead remembers slipping in some spilled milk. It's stated that this is not the first time Odalia has hit her and she's repressed it.

!! Tropes appearing in ''There's No One Like You'':
* AbusiveParents: Odalia Blight, as usual, actually managing to be even ''worse'' than canon. While she maintains the verbal abuse and pressuring her daughter to act like an AlphaBitch, this version also makes numerous mean-spirited shots at [[YouAreFat Amity's weight]], not to mention [[spoiler:sexually abusing and grooming her throughout much of her childhood]].
* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: Luz is trans in this fic, with her deadname being Lucas. She was implicitly cisgender in canon.
* AdaptationalMundanity: While in canon Eda's "curse" is a literal curse that turns her into [[AnimalisticAbomination the Owl Beast]], here she simply suffers from chronic pain and jokingly calls it a "curse".
* AdaptationalNonsapience: The fic's version of Hooty is a particularly disturbing sculpture on Eda's shop. Luz replaced it with a sign saying "The Owl House Consignment" before the start of the fic.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Odalia Blight, Philip Wittebane, Terra Snapdragon, and Jacob Hopkins. While all of them were guilty of numerous atrocities throughout [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse the series]] (especially Philip), none of them were [[spoiler:outright pedophiles]].
* AdaptationNameChange: Terra Snapdragon is here renamed Tara.
* AdaptedOut: While most of the major characters from canon are transplanted into the story's more realistic setting, the fic contains no equivalent of King or Vee.
* AlphaBitch: Amity calls herself the "Queen Bee" of Hexside, looking down on the less popular students and threatening those who annoy her. She hates it, though, and only acts in such a way due to Odalia's pressure. [[spoiler:After her relationship with Luz is exposed, Amity quickly loses her status. She doesn't mind at all, finding it freeing]].
* BatterUp: [[spoiler:Amity uses a bat to finally take down Odalia when she threatens an unconscious Luz [[PsychoKnifeNut with a knife]]]].

* BulletproofVest: [[spoiler:Luz wears one during Odalia's trial, which turns out to have been ProperlyParanoid when Odalia shoots her in the courtroom]].
* DecompositeCharacter: The fic goes with the common fan idea of Luz and Amity's concept art existing as their older sisters "Lucia" and "Amelia"
* DepravedBisexual: Amity is initially worried that Odalia will forbid her from dating Luz out of homophobia, but as it turns out, Odalia herself is bisexual. However, ''this is not a good thing''. [[spoiler:Odalia has been grooming Amity as a SexSlave since childhood, has molested numerous other children, and is implied to have engaged in similar behavior to Amelia]].
* DirtyCop: The story is tagged "ACAB", standing for "All Cops Are Bastards". Luz runs afoul of several such officers while [[spoiler:rescuing Amity from the Siren Hotel, who arrest her and return Amity to Odalia. They later allow Odalia to kidnap her directly out of the station]].
* EroticAsphyxiation: Amity at one point asks Luz to choke her while having sex. Luz's narration mentions that some of her previous partners liked this too.
* HellHotel: [[spoiler:The Siren Hotel. It's the site of a child sex ring run by Odalia Blight and Philip Wittebane, catering to rich businesspeople from all over America. Amity, Hunter, and numerous other children are victims of it. It has a motif of various monsters such as manticores, and most of the "clients" wear monstrous masks that add to the horror. The children are forced to partake in the clients' most depraved fetishes, and are supplied with drugs that prevent them from remembering the hotel's horrors. Taking down Odalia and the Siren Hotel forms the climax of the story]].
* HighSchoolAU: DownplayedTrope. While it's tagged as such and a good portion of the school is set at Hexside High School, just as much if not more takes place at home, dealing with Luz and Amity's families.
* LikesOlderMen / LikesOlderWomen: Luz is mentioned to have entered numerous relationships with older men and women after leaving Camp Reality Check. One particular such partner named Kyle is repeatedly brought up, with it being mentioned that he was married and Luz didn't know.
* MayDecemberRomance: See above.
* MenacingMask: [[spoiler:The members of the Siren Hotel wear animal masks that both conceal their identities and intimidate the children who they prey on. Odalia wears a panther mask and Philip wears a deer mask, and Amity has nightmares about a cat and a deer]].
* ModernAUFic: Takes place on modern day (2020s) Earth.
* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: Luz writes ''The Good Witch Azura'' fanfiction. Early on, she mentions a hitwoman AU where Azura is an assassin. After seeing Amity, she decides to give Hecate green hair. This proves to be one of Luz and Amity's first positive interactions.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Camila's general reaction to learning what happened to Luz at Camp Reality Check, which she forced her daughter to go to.
* MythicalMotifs: Blight Manor and the Siren Hotel both have a motif of monsters, [[OurManticoresAreSpinier manticores]] specifically. It creeps Luz out, going with their theme of being figurative monsters who prey on the downtrodden.
* [[spoiler:ParentalIncest: Odalia has molested Amity on numerous occasions, although she [[RepressedMemories]] doesn't remember it]], and is implied to have engaged in similar behavior to Amelia]].
* ThePeepingTom: Someone takes pictures of Luz and Amity having sex and spreads them around Hexside, exposing their relationship. Eventually, the culprit is revealed to be [[spoiler:Boscha, who was jealous of Luz due to her own crush on Amity]].
* {{Polyamory}}: Eda is married to both Raine and Camila. Later on, [[spoiler:Camila and Raine fall in love too]].
* RapeAsBackstory: Luz was molested by Tara Snapdragon and Jacob Hopkins, two counselors at the summer camp she was sent to. Her trauma from this leads to numerous facets of her personality throughout the story.
* RepressedMemories: Odalia often takes Amity on "business trips", which Amity remembers involving immensely boring classes where she learns how to run a corporation. However, in truth, [[spoiler:Amity is being brought to a HellHotel called the Siren Hotel where she and various other kids and teenagers are raped by Odalia and her business partners]].
* SelfHarm: Luz has been scratching her arms to the point of leaving countless scars in order to cope with the horrors of Camp Reality Check. She has managed to form a defense mechanism by wrapping her forearms in bandages, but still occasionally relapses.
* [[spoiler:SexSlave: Amity, Hunter, and numerous other children are used as this by the clients of the Siren Hotel. Amity in particular has been groomed for it for years,
* SlippingAMickey:
** Jacob Hopkins and Tara Snapdragon pass out alcohol to the kids at Camp Reality Check to make them more compliant.
** [[spoiler:All of the kids at the Siren Hotel sex ring are given both alcohol and certain drugs which will make them forget their experience]].
* SummerCampy: Luz attended Camp Reality Check when she was fourteen. It was meant to get rid of her passion for fantasy and teach her to fit in. While initially appearing to be an ordinary, if rather boring summer camp, two of the counselors, Jacob and Tara, molest several of the children there, eventually raping Luz. Luz is only able to escape with the help of the other counselor Eda, who had no idea about her coworkers' activities. She still has trauma stemming from the camp years later.
* TitleDrop: At the end, Luz [[spoiler:proposes to Amity at Lucia and Amelia's wedding]]. Amity happily accepts, saying:
--> '''Amity:''' Luz, there's no one quite like you.
* YouAreFat: Odalia constantly belittles Amity's weight, claiming she's "getting big at the waist". The story makes no indication that Amity is overweight, and it is simply more of Odalia's cruelty.
