%%* DetectiveDrama: The 'closed mystery' variety. From the very beginning, the audience is just as in the dark as Blake is, both about August Howard's infidelity and the greater workings of the cosmic horror plot.



* GratuitousGreek: All the famuli under the Order's control are assigned a letter of the Greek alphabet as a name.



* KilledOffForReal: Most characters that have died on the show fall into this trope. This gets zig-zagged for characters under the Rites of Char Garrum, or that have made deals with any of the [[spoiler:Infinite Names.]]

* MagicallyBindingContract: This seems to be how most of the serious and involved Rites of the Infinite Names are invoked.
** The Rites of Char Garrum have been described as a contract, whose terms involve infinite life at the cost of those from other rays of the Mirror Forest.
** The Rites of Relor Manat that Gordon undergoes to [[spoiler:bring back his sibling, Mickey O'Shae]] is another magically binding contract, which trades that outcome for his [[spoiler:knowledge of his father]], under the condition that August Howard is brought to the Rat-King alive.



* ReunionVow: In Episode 26, Daphne vows that she will see [[spoiler:Auggie]] again, once they escape the Order's mansion.
-->'''Daphne Howard''': We’re not going to shoot you and we’re not abandoning you. We’re going to get you out of here and find a spell to bring you back for good.
-->'''Elenore Kostanski''': But I don’t-
-->'''Daphne Howard''': We’re going to do it!



* SynchronousEpisodes: Episode 5 of both Blake Skye: Private Eye and Diviner in the Deep occur at the same time and depict the same event from Blake and Daphne’s points of view, respectively.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: The Harmonious Fist Tong, headed by Wu Zhun Hei, is introduced as one of the many gangs of the City in Episode 19.

Added DiffLines:

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Dottie dreams of endless hallways with many doors, and when she opens them she sees visions of the future, or possible futures. She writes to Lucy about what she sees, and this does end up [[spoiler:saving Lucy's life.]]


Added DiffLines:

* AsYouKnow: Daphne sometimes explains things August already knows, for the benefit of any researchers who would eventually listen to the recordings (and for the audience, of course).
* FeverDreamEpisode: Downplayed, in Episode 3 of Diviner in the Deep. It serves to convey a bit of [[PastExperienceNightmare traumatic backstory]] for Daphne.
* ForegoneConclusion: The Diviner in the Deep side-story series follows Daphne, starting as a prequel, but then takes her through the phone call with Blake in Episode 5 in the main series, eventually leading to the reveal of her capture and events post Season 2 finale. The listeners know how the story ends, but the start and the points in between are new information.

* TheWatson: As mediator and questioner during their sessions, August serves as a form of AudienceSurrogate, from Episode 5 of Diviner in the Deep onward.
