She Is All Grown Up: Vic at the end. Deconstructed Trope because he has lost all the attaching traits of the dorky Unlucky Childhood Friend he used to be when Ms. Epistola's Mind Rape turned him into a decent Love Interest. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Viridian Saga / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Ms. Scarlett Epistola. Epistola means "letter" (as in "the thing you send home from camp", or an epistolary novel). Riley Bay is secretly a sea creature-thing; also, Riley is a pun about R'lieh, the city where Cthulhu is "dead yet dreaming". Andromeda Slate: the character is supposed to be empty and thus is a blank slate. Also, in Classical Mythology, Andromeda was a princess who was sacrificed to a sea monster. | |

The Cassandra | |
| Viridian Saga / int_859bbabc | comment |
The Cassandra: Very cleverly Subverted Trope. Andi is Genre Savvy enough to know that no one will believe her if she spills the beans about Riley's crime. So she jumps all the boring asking for help and seeing Adults Are Useless and immediately interrogates the potential criminal on her own where no one can see them. | |

Abduction Is Love | |
| Viridian Saga / int_94c57c5c | comment |
Abduction Is Love: What makes this story so different from other paranormal romances and weirdly interesting is that there are real stakes. It is always difficult to know what Riley is up to and you can genuinely wonder whether it's going to be the cute kind of kidnapping or not when Riley ties up Andi and brings her to his house while she is passed out. | |

For the Evulz | |
| Viridian Saga / int_adfd3165 | comment |
For the Evulz: One of the most refreshing examples of innovation in this book is how Riley isn't humanized via Hidden Depths or Character Development or Freudian Excuse, nor idealized with Draco in Leather Pants by the writer. Though Andi isn't especially harsh, it's clear that Riley is just a Starfish Alien bastard whose sheer selfishness has to be reckoned with, but since this selfishness makes him want to spend some time with Andi too, we love him for that. | |

Love Triangle: Will Andi end up with Cthulhu or her childhood friend? Made all the more poignant because she knows her friend since not-so-long, so they didn't even get to build part of what concretely a relationship. | |

Screw Destiny: Riley's entire purpose is to send out his Call when the stars are right and end the world. For Andi's sake, he declares that he's going to do no such thing, and to hell with the universal order. The villain is a doomsday cultist who's trying to prod him into getting with the program again. | |
