* ChainedToARock: In the ''If They Were Monsters AU''. Fiona and the other debutantes are chained to the floor during the ball so they can't escape while the suitors are claiming their picks.

* CrossoverAlternateUniverse: The ''If They Were Monsters'' AU is a crossover with another webcomic, SPOOK.

* DefiantToTheEnd: In the ''If They Were Monsters AU''. Even while chained up, Fiona still finds a way to insult the very men who decide whether she lives or dies.
--> '''Dain:''' This one however, seems like she would present a challenge.
--> '''Fiona:''' ''[curtsies]'' My apologies for my outburst. I was told to be polite.
--> '''Dain:''' Were you now?
--> '''Fiona:''' Yes sir. So while I do appreciate your interest ... Kindly go fuck yourself.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The ''If They Were Monsters'' AU is in mostly black and white.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Implied in the ''If They Were Monsters'' AU. Fiona has plenty of suitors, who keep pursuing her even though they know she isn't remotely interested.

* MonochromeToColor: The ''If They Were Monsters'' AU is in black and white, until the very end; where it's revealed that Fiona [[spoiler: became Matriarch]], with a full-colour panel of Fiona with a ripped dress, broken shackles, and covered in blood.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: In the ''If They Were Monsters'' AU. The debutantes have the choice to marry their suitor or get ripped to shreds.

* SadisticChoice: In the ''If They Were Monsters'' AU. The debutantes must chose between being forced into a marriage that they don't want or being ripped apart and eaten by a werewolf. It's not like they can skip the event; families need to send daughters to keep the werewolf clan's favour.
** The sadistic choice is also implied with the families of the girls: should they keep their daughters and lose their standing or send them and have the possibility of them brutally murdered?
* SplashOfColor: The ''If They Were Monsters'' AU is mostly in monochrome, but has the werewolves' eyes and blood in colour.

* TakeAThirdOption: In ''If They Were Monsters'', Fiona gets the "choice" to either marry a man she has no interest in or be ripped to shreds. She instead chooses to [[spoiler: become matriarch]].

* WorkingClassWerewolves: Inverted in the ''If They Were Monsters'' AU. All of the werewolves we see are middle-to-upper class.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: In the ''If They Were Monsters'' AU, Fiona's father tells her that she is stronger than she thinks she is.
--> I'm sorry I don't have the strength to save you from this. But no man nor beast is stronger than my daughter.
