The Caged Phoenix (Darth Wiki)/YMMV

"Odaxitar: If I can't take my own issues out on Alexander himself, closest target might just be you.
 * Continuity Reboot: This is a mini-reboot.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: Just a little misunderstood...
 * Exposition Fairy: Federico to Kratos (and Olapen).
 * Ho Yay: Both Kratos and Federico.
 * Nightmare Fuel: You don't want to know what Odaxitar even did to Elixor...
 * Let's Get Dangerous: Reawakened Odaxitar to the hired bandit. This doesn't end well- for the bandit that is.
 * A Threesome Is Hot: Uh, no it's not.
 * : Jacaranda's darkest secret...
 * Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book: That's implied.
 * Finishing Each Other's Sentences: Used to weird effect, made more-so with the ongoing Mills and Boon Prose.
 * : Why Olapen can never be with Rogue Alex as 'more than a friend'...
 * The Soulless: Odaxitar is implied to be 'cursed' in a certain way.
 * Odaxitar's demonic form somewhat resembles the Jersey Devil.
 * Fridge Brilliance: Why did Warlic have a second assistant called  by the Time Skip? Because Olapen had 'disappeared' around that time frame... This single scene with his new Book Dumb assistant quickly turns into a bit of a Tear Jerker for the old Arch-Mage, recalling some scenes from earlier years when.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight:
 * Greek Chorus: Though 'invisible' to the main characters, Federico and Kratos both serve this function, respective to the Theory of Vision
 * Greek Mythology: This is also my Dark Fantasy version of the legend of Orpheus.
 * Near-Death Clairvoyance: It is implied Olapen has this weird 'ability' in the story... which is near useless considering her own circumstances.
 * Why does Odaxitar sound like a 'smart-alec' compared to Olapen? Maybe she's doing this or just so...
 * Fridge Horror: Could it be that Odaxitar is Olapen's default personality?
 * It's a Wonderful Plot: The squid is punishing Olapen with this scenario and she must correct everything else.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: This fast exchange:

Exilnor: Never figured you're so capable of THAT much... Go ahead, use me as your personal chew-toy.

Odaxitar: (slyly grins) As you wish... (literally does so)"


 * Yet another exchange: Talking about Amándote.
 * Mind Screw: - leaving Odaxitar with their own body intact... Downer Ending indeed.
 * Write What You Know: Somewhat reflects the author's ongoing depression and slow rehabilition
