* WhiteVoidRoom: The inactive holosimulator.

* EasilyDetachableRobotParts: [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=419 Sometimes]].
* EnvironmentalSymbolism

* FracturedFairyTale: Basil's backstory.
* AFriendInNeed
* FunctionalMagic: All kinds.

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: The Guardbots, Doorbot.
* HamToHamCombat: Parley and Mort improvised it once.

* TheForce: The Ether, which, like the TropeNamer, infuses all living things, can be directly harnessed only by a few humans, and bestows upon its users the abilities of telekinesis, clairvoyance, teleportation, flight, and superhuman speed and jumping abilities, and can even be used to create {{Magitek}} like 'etheric computers', which can project DeflectorShields or bind people/things if their users will it.

* [[BreakingTheFourthWall/{{Webcomics}} Breaking The Fourth Wall]]: Doesn't happen often, but if anyone is going to do it, [[ThoseWilyCoyotes Coyote]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1067 will]].

* RewatchBonus: In Chapter 91, once you get to page 32 and Annie and Reynard actually ''point out'' [[spoiler: that there's a girl who looks like Zimmy, who doesn't draw attention to herself but is really the one leading them onward]], you can go back and see [[spoiler: that she's always been visible near the front of the group and it's ''always'' her who's the first to notice things]].

* NeverTrustATitle: ''Chapter 34: Faraway Morning (And Three Short Tales)'', where some characters tell [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin three short tales]]. Sounds like a short chapter, right? It's the longest chapter to date thanks to all of the CharacterDevelopment and plot revelations going on between each of the tales.

* NonIndicativeName: "Chapter 90: Coyote Knew This Would Happen". It turns out Coyote did ''not'' know the incident in question ([[spoiler:Loup/Jerrek falling in love with someone who is not Annie]]) would happen.

* TeensAreShort: Many commenters for [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1523 Chpt. 52, pg. 16]] noted that Kat and Annie are in their mid-teens but appear to be (perspective and stairs aside) barely shoulder-height to Kat's dad [[spoiler: and Annie's]]. The rest of Annie's friends don't look much taller aside from [[HugeGirlTinyGuy Parley]], [[OneHeadTaller Jack]], and the elves from "Annie in the Forest" who seem to be analogous to college students.

Chapter 30 - Kat: [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=763 "I could construct a robotic throwing device which will provide the stone with transit to the river's edge!"]]
*** Annie: [[TakeThatMe "What an... odd thing to say."]]
*** Kat tries to ask Saslamel's interpreter if they can do anything about Annie being shifted, but [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2162 they say]], "Sorry, this really is not our department. You need temporal affairs." Several chapters later, Annie and Kat meet the Norns; Annie asks them if they can do anything about her situation, only to [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2350 get the response]]: "Sorry, we only deal with temporal affairs."

* HugAndComment: Chapter 32 ends with Annie and Kat hugging, and then Kat saying "Annie ... I love you and everything, so ... it is with love that I must inform you that you really gotta take a shower."

* {{Doppelmerger}}: [[RealityWarper Loup]] screwing around with time results in two copies of Antimony Carver: one who returned to the Court immediately after a visit to Gillitie Wood, and one who tried to return immediately [[YearOutsideHourInside but instead arrived months later]]. After enough chapters for two Annies to become the new status quo, Zimmy uses her even-less-understood powers to abruptly fuse both Annies back together.

* TheyDo: In Chapter 30, Parley finally admits that she's in love with Andrew. WordOfGod already said [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=385 they were totally going to get married]].

** The chasm dividing the Court from the forest is guarded, on the Court's side, by a [[EtherealWhiteDress ghostly woman in a white gown]], who Annie learns early on is BarredFromTheAfterlife for initially unknown reasons. In chapter 25, it's revealed that she [[spoiler:was a founding member of the Court, who the other founders sacrificed in some sort of ritual after she [[TriangRelations spurned one of them]] for an [[StarCrossedLovers elf from the forest]]]]. It gets worse in chapter 30, when a flashback explains the details of her death: [[spoiler:she was sent down into the chasm, forced to watch her lover get shot, then was left to die of starvation and exposure. The DespairEventHorizon she crossed is the source of her power, and the reason why she can't leave.]]
