History Series / LostGirl

* LoopholeAbuse: "nothing in the rules about bringing the stag BackFromTheDead".

* DistractedByTheSexy: Effectively Bo's superpower.

** Bo as well, as she laughs off Kenzi's initial belief that she is a vampire, explaining that she feeds on life force, not blood. Somehow, in the ''ten years'' she's been on the run, she never considered to simply search the words "Sex-vampire" on the internet, which would have told her that she was a succubus a long time ago.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: The fae world is divided between the Light fae, who make some token efforts to avoid being completely SelfishEvil, and the Dark fae, who... really, really don't. The more heroic characters try to hold themselves to a higher standard, but even they are all a bit morally ambiguous.

** To be fair, it really ''is'' so Lauren can help Bo learn control and a bar is good place for it. They do almost kiss (which technically still falls under teaching Bo control), but Bo pulls away worried she'll hurt her.

* NotADate: In ''Food For Thought'', Bo insists that and Lauren are meeting so that Lauren can help her learn control, and that it's not a date. Despite their clear mutual attraction, Bo fretting about what to wear for it, and that they are meeting in a bar. Kenzi doesn't buy it.

* AlterKocker: Mayer, YiddishAsASecondLanguage and all.

* CulturalPosturing: All the Fae (except Bo, Trick and Dyson) seem to look down on humans. Underfae don't get much respect either.

* SexSlave: Played with. No one ever uses the word "slave" to refer to Lauren, but she does refer to herself as the "property" of the Ash, and for all the influence and prestige she enjoys among the light fae, she is clearly a slave. This trope comes into play when the Ash orders her to seduce and sleep with Bo. Granted, she very much liked and wanted Bo, but it's still the case that she didn't have a choice in the matter.

* VoiceOfTheLegion: [[spoiler: Bo after being shot by a lich.]]

* {{Curse}}: Used a few times such as when Kenzi invokes the Baba Yaga to inflict one on Dyson. [[spoiler: Lauren's girlfriend Natalia turns out to be under one, hence her coma.]]

* KneelBeforeZod: In ''Scream a Little Dream'' Lachlan mentions that he is a stickler for protocol forcing Lauren to knell before him, much to Bo's disgust.

** Lauren is the property of the Ash, leader of the light fae, but is generally content with her lot in life. She finds her scientific research into fae physiology to be intellectually rewarding, and her medical expertise, and the fact that she is owned by the leader of the light fae, gives her a fair amount of prestige and influence among the light fae. She is unmistakably a slave, however. [[spoiler:The happiness part of the trope may be in decline under the new Ash]].

** Most fae think that Kanzi also falls into this category since they consider her to be Bo's property. It does not cross their minds that Bo considers Kenzi to be an equal.

* MuggleBestFriend: Kenzi, the only non-fae in the main cast.

* ScaryBlackMan: The Blackthorn and the original Ashe.

* ForScience: Lauren's reason for working with the Fae.

*** Possibly being deconstructed in the later seasons when we find out that [[spoiler: she actually joined the Ash to keep her girlfriend alive and to have a chance at curing the girlfriend's mysterious ailment, which is looking like something the Ash might have done himself in order to acquire Lauren in the first place.]]

* HumiliationConga: Inverted. In "Into The Dark", a series of antagonistic characters from previous episodes show up and each endure some kind of humiliation. [[hottip:*: Vex is captured by thugs and beaten with soccer balls. The Nain Rouge is chewed out by Bo and forced to drop her CreepyChild routine and admit her fear. The Norn is forced to surrender to a mere human, because said human was brandishing [[ChainsawGood a chainsaw]] and cutting down her sacred tree. The Morrigan's humiliation could be considered HumiliationConga played straight, as she is forced to dance in her underwear to MC Hammer, made to feel old, tricked by Bo into letting herself be handcuffed to a bed, then finally revealed to have need for magical Fae Viagra.]]

* LittlePeopleAreSurreal: Averted. Trick's being much smaller than the rest of the cast is unremarked upon, and when another little person figures into the plot, it turns out he's related to Trick. It seems to be just another Fae marker for that particular species.
