This is just for fun. Since I don't think I can make the changes requested by EQD without breaking the plot apart, I figured I'd just make Tropes page for the story myself. You guys can feel free to chime in if I missed anything. Of course, I don't swear so some adjustments have to be made. And as always spoilers.
