Line 11:
The fifth book, ''Darkest Mercy'' was recently released, and a short story anthology is planned for 2012.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Above Good and Evil]]: How Irial perceives the Dark Court. See also this page's entry for Blue and Orange Morality.
* [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]]: Partially subverted in Fragile Eternity.
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
* [[Important Haircut]]: Niall had much longer hair in the backstory, but cut it very short when he left the dark court, both as a symbolic gesture of 'not looking back' and for more practical trauma-relatated reasons, according to [[Word of God]].
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Oh, ''Irial''. Niall too. Remember the scene with Seth lusting on him in Fragile Eternity?
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Gabriel is always referred to as such. Marr has stated that he had another name before, and that it's not secret but it's not relevant either.
* [[Evil Is Deathly Cold]]: Beira.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Niall. Probably inevitable, but more interesting angsty.
Line 76 ⟶ 75:
** "Sometimes, it's not about being happy, but courting happiness."
* [[Green Thumb]]: Again, the Summer Court.
* [[Half
* [[Half Truth]]: What else did you expect from [[The Fair Folk]]?
* [[Human Mom Nonhuman Dad]]: Gabriel's kids; Ani, Rabbit and Tish.
Line 95 ⟶ 94:
* [[Mama Bear]]: {{spoiler|Sorcha towards Seth.}}
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Irial
* [[May
* [[Mayfly
* [[Non
* [[Nobody Thinks It Will Work]]: The general reaction of the Summer Court to Aislinn's relationship with Seth.
* [[Not Himself]]: {{spoiler|In Darkest Mercy, the shade of dead Irial persists in Niall's mind, and sometimes takes full possession of the body, causing the already-falling-apart-at-the-seams Niall to black out now and then, only to come to and realize that he's stabbed someone else without being aware of it, or something like that. Keenan figures out what's going on after realizing that Niall is not himself.}}
Line 123 ⟶ 122:
* [[Sealed Inside a Person Shaped Can]]: The Summer Queen, sealed away by Beira and Irial.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Marr generally gets the folklore right, though, of course, faery lore is already old enough and varied enough that Marr can have quite a bit of wiggle room to make any new innovations she sees fit.
* [[Sibling Yin
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Oh, Irial...
* [[Single
* [[The Symbiote]]: How ink exchanges are supposed to work.
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Subverted somewhat with Leslie, who is revealed to be having therapy in Stopping Time. Justified with anyone else as no sane therapist would believe them.
Line 139 ⟶ 138:
* [[Understanding Boyfriend]]: The degree to which Seth embodies this trope comes dangerously close to ridiculousness.
* [[Unwanted Spouse]]: Their shared leadership of the Summer Court puts Aislinn and Keenan in this kind of relationship.
* [[What Is Evil?]]: Irial tends to do this a bit. See "above good and evil", above. Some people thought [http://wickedlovely.com/forum1/index.php?topic=1321.0 a bt too much] about it, as well.
* [[Willing Channeler]]: {{spoiler|What the ink exchange makes Leslie into.}}
* [[Winter Royal Lady]]: Beira and Donia.
* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?|Where the hell is Huntsdale?]]: It was actually assumed to be in Pennsylvania, until Melissa said she deliberately left it ambiguous.
* [[The Wild Hunt]]: The Gabriel hounds, and possibly the shadow court.
* [[Woman Scorned]]: Implied to be the reason for Beira turing all psycho (because of Miach). Donia also has her moments (because of Keenan). It must be a Winter Court thing.
Line 149 ⟶ 148:
* [[Word of God]]: Plenty of it- Melissa pops up on the fan forums every now and then.
* [[Yaoi Guys]]: Irial and Niall again.
* [[Year Inside, Hour Outside]]: Every month spent in Faerie is six months in the human world, which somewhat explains why the High Court's mannerisms seem so old fashioned.
* [[You Sexy Beast]]
