YMMV / Brewdening Love Expanded Universe

General Tropes

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Often centered around Joan, and it's rarely pretty.
• Hatenon: Basically all of it. Things such as The Unit or the idea that Brian and Hugo were high school sweethearts often appear in multiple stories.
• Fan Nickname: Joan's father is named Hugo, (almost) always.
  • A lot of the TS writers are naming Joan's mother (if she exists) Louisa.
• Ho Yay: Brian and Hugo, or Brugo for short.

Verbo et Opere

• Jerkass Woobie: Joan, of all people.

Stalker Evidence Diary

• Alternative Character Interpretation: The whole premise: the Cullens aren't vampires and Joan is a stalker.
• Paranoia Fuel: Something rustles in the bushes while you're on vacation in Disneyland? It's a stalker!
• The Woobie: Jenny and Edward.

Brooding Lust

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Most characters have bits of it, but the character of James revolves around it.
• Moment of Awesome: The last chapter. You've got Lynne killing Edward, Jenny killing Esme, and Hugo killing Carlisle. How does one choose?

Brooding Imposter

• The Woobie: Mark, in chapter 5.

An Unnamed Fic

• Crazy Is Cool: Brian. He tries to ram a bus into Joan. Of course, the point was not to kill her (which it didn't), but to force her protector (i.e. Edward) to show himself.

The Impossible Dream

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Mary, especially after becoming a Cloudcuckoolander.

Monster

• The Woobie: Brian and Jenny didn't see what was coming for them.

Nightmare Moon

• Alternative Character Interpretation: The Cullens as victims of their own publicity.
• Ho Yay: Jasper gets his leg torn off and Emmett has to put it back in place. Guess how.
  Jasper: This stays between us. I do not want Regina to catch wind of this.
  Emmett: I wouldn't worry so much about Regina as the rest of the fangirls out there. You know they'll never let us hear the end of it. There are enough slash fics about us as it is. We certainly don't want to give them any more ammunition.
