History Literature / TheIronKing

** One [[TriangRelations Type 4]] in the main cast. Ash and Meghan are in a relationship, but Puck has an unrequited crush on Meghan.
** Two [[TriangRelations Type 7's]] concerning Meghan's parents. Oberon and Meghan's mother cheated on their respective spouses to produce Meghan, but it only lasted for a one night stand.

''The Iron King'' ([[NamesTheSame Not to be confused with]] the [[Series/IronKing tokusatsu show]]) is where our story starts. Meghan finds out that her father was not the insurance salesman she thought he was, but was instead Oberon, king of the Summer Court of the Fey. She also finds out that her best friend, Robbie Goodfell, is actually Robin Goodfellow, better known as Puck. She ventures to faery lands to rescue her brother, but finds herself caught up in the politics of the world, and is forced to fight against the iron court, a brand new court formed as human dreams begin to shift toward technology. Along the way, she meets Ash, the son of the Winter queen, whom she agrees to accompany in exchange for his help dealing with the iron court.

* WickedStepmother: Titania is this IN SPADES for Meghan. The girl was lucky not to be [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a deer]] or something equally edible.

* BalefulPolymorph: Being in the wrong place at the wrong time can get a human turned into whichever animal strikes an angry faery's fancy. Titania even threatens to turn Meghan into a deer, and then unleash her hunting hound on her.

* MulticoloredHair: Very common amongst Faeries of any kind.

* OurSoulsAreDifferent: Fey don't have them.
* ThePardon: Offered as a bribe, to escape exile.
* PlayingWithFire: An ability of some Summer Fey.

* RedheadInGreen: Yeah, Puck basically cleared out all of the [[HairColors Red-head tropes]]. It's impressive, actually.

* ReleasingFromThePromise: Is an insult to the fey.

* SacredHospitality: The Leanansidhe invokes this
* SculleryMaid: Titania makes Meghan this.

* SuccessionCrisis: To the throne of the Iron King

* CinderellaCircumstances: Titania puts Meghan to work in the Seelie Court's kitchens to get back at her husband for cheating on her. It only lasts until Elysium, when Meghan's expected to look like a princess.

* YourCheatingHeart: Oberon cheated on Titania, which is why she has it in for Meghan. Meghan's mother also cheated on her husband with Oberon, but the poor man had no idea that had happened.

* BadDreams: Meghan starts having them as soon as she lands in the LandOfFaerie.

* GrayEyes: Ash is this, classification 2. [[DefrostingIceQueen Though he has been getting better of late]].

* IcyBlueEyes: Ash's brother Rowan has these, as does Titania. [[CaptainObvious They aren't nice people]].

* GreenEyes: Puck suits this trope to a tee. So does Oberon, when he's not [[BlackEyesOfEvil very displeased]].

* [[DreamLand Dream River]]: Ash and Puck, on their quest

* EvilRedheads: Well, Puck isn't ''exactly''...oh, wait. [[TheFairFolk He's Fey]]. Of course he's evil. [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Just not as evil as generally everyone else in the Nevernever]].

* RedheadedHero: [[GuileHero Puck]], ''[[OverlyLongGag again]]''.

* RedheadedBully: Puck has his moments. [[BerserkButton Pick on Meghan]], and you might end up with a humiliating disfigurement of some sort. ''If'' he's in a good mood.
