** For the story "The Murder Mystery":
*** In canon, Rhino is heard complaining about the meat-lovers pizza he just ate, saying it's "not loving me back at all." The surreal plot to this fic is presented as being an AcidRefluxNightmare Penny experiences after eating a meat-lover's pizza with added anchovies and jalapeno peppers before bedtime.
*** In the same story, Penny's ex-agent is heard protesting that he isn't having an affair with Mindy Parker, saying "We're just... just... good friends. For heaven's sake, I have a wife, a daughter, a baseball glove... " In canon, he tries to convince Penny to accept a substitute for her runaway dog by telling a ridiculous story equating the baseball glove he got for his birthday as a child as a [[AppealToAudacity cherished possession that he rode to school as an alternative to the bicycle he had asked for instead.]]

** During the latter part of "The Mall," Penny is shown having done some online research trying to find out what happened to Bolt when he disappeared in canon. All but one of the photos she subsequently discovers illustrate scenarios from the film or its accompanying book ''Literature/TheArtOfBolt''. These include pictures of Bolt with his head caught in a fence, dangling Mittens above an overpass, and begging for food in a trailer park, as well as traveling with Mittens and Rhino on an Iowa farm road, in a snowy Colorado field, and in a kayak attached to a car while riding through Utah. She's able to fill in a lot (though not all) of the missing information accurately this way.

** In "The Spaceship," Rhino has dementia and among other things frequently references someone named Goldie. Neither Bolt nor Mittens know who this is, speculating that he may be referring to Creator/GoldieHawn who starred in a film they recently saw, ''Film/CactusFlower''. The story ends with the hamster muttering "Goldie… Goldie… My work is done here, and I’ll be seeing you very soon now. I'm ready. Goldie… Goldie… I can't wait to see you again. Goldie… Goldie… Goldie… Goldie… " as he dies. In the last story of the series, "The Gift," it is revealed that Goldie is the name of Rhino's Nirvana afterlife soulmate, who he left behind in order to return to earth and guide Bolt and Mittens into realizing they are each other's soulmates.

** In canon, Mittens teaches Bolt how to beg and do cute things to coax food from trailer park visitors, one of these being a charming roll-over maneuver while on his back. In "The Wind," [[ChekhovsSkill Bolt uses the same spin move to get out of the way of his dog fight antagonist Ike]], who charges towards him with head lowered. Ike doesn't realize Bolt has evaded him and [[SelfDisposingVillain crashes full force into a brick wall, breaking his neck]] with a [[SickeningCrunch loud crack]], ending the fight.

*** Bolt is seen in canon to have super jumping ability on his show, and also says he knows how to land safely after a fall by doing what he calls a "tuck and roll" move. In "The Baseball Game," he is said to be able to approximate those jumping skills, if not to the degree presented on the program. He possesses enough prowess here to leap over the crouched catcher blocking the baseline, landing safe on home plate while executing a "tuck and roll" maneuver.

* ''Fanfic/FantasyOfUtterRidiculousness'' has a fair number of these to its [[WesternAnimation/MegasXLR source]] [[Franchise/TouhouProject materials]]:
** The return of Megas's "La Cucaracha" horn, Super Destructor Mode, and the Double Deuce.
** Marisa and Reimu's respective hair colors during their PC-98 days. Yuuka herself is still sporting the hairstyle and clothes from her initial appearances.
** Marisa ''tries'' to make one to the time [[spoiler: Alice was roped into working as a maid back in her PC-98 days]], only to be sharply interrupted.
** Yukari asks Yuyuko why she was woken up using almost the exact same words Jamie spoke to Coop back in ''Megas XLR's'' first episode.



* ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'' has a number of these to their respective sources.
** In the time between Elpizo's uprising and Omega's arrival, Leviathan learned of Zero adapting his enemies' techniques for his own use. This gets referenced when she does the same thing against the Midnight Castle gang.
** A disgruntled Leviathan notes that her battles against Zero would probably have been more even if he didn't have access to the Flame Chip, and wonders who put the Guard Orotic—the boss that drops said Chip—in charge of the factory that the Resistance ended up capturing.
** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife The bugbear's escape from Tartarus]] and resulting dissolution of S.M.I.L.E. takes place shortly before the story begins. This gets commented on by Celestia when Gray tries to get herself reinstated into the organization.

** In the seventh chapter of the fourth story, ''The Diplomat's Life'', Trixie mentions that she's creeped out by the thought of meeting the Pony of Shadows. She previously expressed a fear of meeting it in story 3, chapter 6.
* ''Fanfic/EscapeFromTheMoon'':
** To canon - in chapter 9 of the sequel ''The Mare From the Moon'', references are made to events from the episodes ''Dragonshy'' (Twilight mentions a dragon’s snoring and producing smoke that caused troubles), ''The Cutie Mark Chronicles'' (Twilight hatching Spike), ''The Return of Harmony'' two-parter (what Discord did the first time they met him), ''Secret of My Excess'' (Spike’s Greed Growth-fueled rampage), ''Dragon Quest'' (their first meeting with Garble) and ''Gauntlet of Fire'' (how they first met Dragon Lord Ember).
** At the end of the first story, Spliced learned that she was her world’s "banished pony", who would be trapped on the moon for a thousand years, and at the end of that time “the stars would aid her escape”. At the end of the second story, this proves true - Spliced’s sentence ends exactly one thousand years after she was first sent to the moon, and she returns to Hesturland via the shuttle ''Aiding Stars'', piloted by a pony named Escape Velocity.

During Rex's meeting with [[spoiler:Rarity]], he asks for the name on Wind Breaker's behalf, but doesn't get it. [[spoiler:The human Applejack finally gives him the name after he meets the human [=Big McIntosh=] in the flesh.]]
** Chapter 39 is loaded with these, both to in-story events and to canon, including:
*** Vix-Lei mentions the time she talked about how she was looking forward to [[spoiler:meeting any of Pinkie's relatives, since they'd probably be a real hoot]]. She then says, [[spoiler:after meeting Maud Pie]], that she was right.
*** Night Blade mentions Vix-Lei's crazy driving, and considers [[spoiler:pony Rainbow Dash's flying]] to be even worse.
*** Page learns that [[spoiler:Angel Bunny]] was real, and that he wasn't a demon, just a normal, bad-tempered [[spoiler:rabbit]]... very similarly to Anon e Mouse Jr.'s first non-canon omake chapter, except for the fact that it's [[spoiler:the Equestrian Fluttershy]] who explains it to her this time.
*** References are made to their time in [[spoiler:Fluttershy's old cottage]].
*** Night Blade and [[spoiler:the human Rainbow Dash]]'s previous visit to Elysium, when she slapped him repeatedly, is referenced.
*** The entire group's conversation references multiple past events, wherein the group learns the true identities of [[spoiler:several of the Virtues' old "enemies"]], explaining the misunderstandings that came about in part because of [[spoiler:Blueblood]] not understanding things quite right (as [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash]] mentioned in chapter 31). The reveal on [[spoiler:Trixie]] also references her human counterpart's scene at the vending machine.
*** [[spoiler:Pony!Rarity]] makes a passing reference to her personal history with [[spoiler:Blueblood]], and later to the Diamond Dog incident in ''A Dog and Pony Show'' and the events of ''Sonic Rainboom''.
*** The incident at the library from chapter 36 is mentioned, revealing that the three boys involved were [[spoiler:the human counterparts of the Diamond Dog trio Fido, Spot and Rover]].
*** The [[spoiler:five older Bearers]] present reminisce on how they got their Cutie Marks, as they did in [[spoiler:''The Cutie Mark Chronicles'']].
*** Night Blade and Page both remember how they got their Talent Emblem/Cutie Mark, as mentioned in chapter 3 (for Page) and 28 (for Night Blade).
*** Page mentions the Magi of Stars being referred to as the patron saint of knowledge, something established in chapter 1 of the story.
*** Vix-Lei mentions her previous suspicions that Bulk Biceps was a minotaur in Equestria, along with what [[spoiler:Pinkie]] told her about his ''actual'' Equestrian self.
** In chapter 42, Page references the warning Balance gave her in her first meeting with the spirit.
** Page's illusion sequence in chapter 45 is rather reminiscent of her introduction back in chapter 3.
** Chapter 46 has Vix-Lei's rubber lizard make a second appearance, when she throws it at [[spoiler:the Nightmare]] for a distraction.
** In chapter 27, Rex seems happy at the idea of setting Vix-Lei on fire. In chapter 46, he actually ''does'' get to set her on fire, or at least her weapons.
* The sequel, ''Picking Up the Pieces'', continues the trend:
** Wind Breaker has a run-in with Page's coworker Polished Apple, and gives her the message from Applejack about their ancestors not being happy about the way their family is doing things nowadays.
** He also tells Page about his meeting with Diamond Back in the lead-up to the final battle, and Page recalls how Wind had saved her from the other griffon's carelessness.
** Page's garden, where she and her fellow librarians grow their produce, is brought up for the first time since her first POV chapter in ''The Pieces Lie Where They Fell''.
** References are made to the events of the final battle with the Nightmare.
** Chapter 5 contains brief references to Xvital's family background, which she previously told Wind Breaker about in the first story's chapter 13. Later, in chapter 9, Xvital herself tells Night Blade about some of it.
** Chapter 9 contains further references to Xvital's past, as she explains to Night Blade about her poor experiences with nobility and how she'd inadvertently taken it out on him, something she'd realized (with Page's help) in story 1's chapter 30 and is finally apologizing for.
** In the first omake chapter, Reel informs the Captains of the Bearers having met humans before, and some of the information they found out about Violet's ancestor during the ''Equestria Girls'' arc.
** In chapter 15, Blazen Sun makes mention of the note Memorizing gave to Violet in chapter 2, leading to the reveal of its contents.
* ''Fanfic/{{Quizzical}}'': ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/358383/the-quality-of-mercy The Quality of Mercy]]'', when Quiz and the Cake Twins meet a Wendigo, Quiz references ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/108294/adventures-in-cake-sitting Adventures In Cake Sitting]]'' where Wendigos were responsible for a enormous blizzard that dangerously snowed in Ponyville.

Even [[Anime/NarutoTheMovieNinjaClashInTheLandOfSnow the first movie]] is given a nod when Arekusu mentions Director Makino from that movie in Chapter 78.
** ''Naru-Hina Chronicles Mini-sodes'': During their day at the lake, Hinata does a move that reminds Naruto of a dream he had on a mission of a naked girl dancing in a waterfall (it was from the Search for the Bikōchū filler arc, and it was very much real). Hinata immediately becomes flustered as she can't believe that Naruto remembers that.

* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'':
** After getting his Element, Wind Breaker regrets not getting the name of [[spoiler:Applejack's brother]], whom she'd been mistaken for. During Rex's meeting with [[spoiler:Rarity]], he asks for the name on Wind Breaker's behalf, but doesn't get it. [[spoiler:The human Applejack finally gives him the name after he meets the human [=Big McIntosh=] in the flesh.]]
** Chapter 39 is loaded with these, both to in-story events and to canon, including:
*** [[spoiler: Vix-Lei mentions the time she talked about how she was looking forward to meeting any of Pinkie's relatives, since they'd probably be a real hoot. She then says, after meeting Maud Pie, that she was right.]]
*** [[spoiler: Night Blade mentions Vix-Lei's crazy driving, and considers pony Rainbow Dash's flying to be even worse.]]
*** [[spoiler: Page learns that Angel Bunny was real, and that he wasn't a demon, just a normal, bad-tempered rabbit... very similarly to Anon e Mouse Jr.'s first non-canon omake chapter, except for the fact that it's the Equestrian Fluttershy who explains it to her this time.]]
*** [[spoiler: References are made to their time in Fluttershy's old cottage.]]
*** [[spoiler: Night Blade and the human Rainbow Dash's previous visit to Elysium, when she slapped him repeatedly, is referenced.]]
*** [[spoiler: The entire group's conversation references multiple past events, wherein the group learns the true identities of several of the Virtues' old "enemies", explaining the misunderstandings that came about in part because of Blueblood not understanding things quite right (as Rainbow Dash mentioned in chapter 31). The reveal on Trixie also references her human counterpart's scene at the vending machine.]]
*** [[spoiler: Pony!Rarity makes a passing reference to her personal history with Blueblood, and later to the Diamond Dog incident in ''A Dog and Pony Show'' and the events of ''Sonic Rainboom''.]]
*** [[spoiler: The incident at the library from chapter 36 is mentioned, revealing that the three boys involved were the human counterparts of the Diamond Dog trio Fido, Spot and Rover.]]
*** [[spoiler: The five older Bearers present reminisce on how they got their Cutie Marks, as they did in ''The Cutie Mark Chronicles''.]]
*** [[spoiler: Night Blade and Page both remember how they got their Talent Emblem/Cutie Mark, as mentioned in chapter 3 (for Page) and 28 (for Night Blade).]]
*** [[spoiler: Page mentions the Magi of Stars being referred to as the patron saint of knowledge, something established in chapter 1 of the story.]]
*** [[spoiler: Vix-Lei mentions her previous suspicions that Bulk Biceps was a minotaur in Equestria, along with what Pinkie told her about his ''actual'' Equestrian self.]]
** In chapter 42, Page references the warning Balance gave her in her first meeting with the spirit.
** [[spoiler: Page's illusion sequence in chapter 45 is rather reminiscent of her introduction back in chapter 3.]]
** [[spoiler: Chapter 46 has Vix-Lei's rubber lizard make a second appearance, when she throws it at the Nightmare for a distraction.]]
** [[spoiler: In chapter 27, Rex seems happy at the idea of setting Vix-Lei on fire. In chapter 46, he actually ''does'' get to set her on fire, or at least her weapons.]]
* The sequel, ''Picking Up the Pieces'', continues the trend:
** Wind Breaker has a run-in with Page's coworker Polished Apple, and gives her the message from Applejack about their ancestors not being happy about the way their family is doing things nowadays.
** He also tells Page about his meeting with Diamond Back in the lead-up to the final battle, and Page recalls how Wind had saved her from the other griffon's carelessness.
** Page's garden, where she and her fellow librarians grow their produce, is brought up for the first time since her first POV chapter in ''The Pieces Lie Where They Fell''.
** References are made to the events of the final battle with the Nightmare.
** Chapter 5 contains brief references to Xvital's family background, which she previously told Wind Breaker about in the first story's chapter 13. Later, in chapter 9, Xvital herself tells Night Blade about some of it.
** Chapter 9 contains further references to Xvital's past, as she explains to Night Blade about her poor experiences with nobility and how she'd inadvertently taken it out on him, something she'd realized (with Page's help) in story 1's chapter 30 and is finally apologizing for.
** In the first omake chapter, Reel informs the Captains of the Bearers having met humans before, and some of the information they found out about Violet's ancestor during the ''Equestria Girls'' arc.
** In chapter 15, Blazen Sun makes mention of the note Memorizing gave to Violet in chapter 2, leading to the reveal of its contents.
* ''Fanfic/EscapeFromTheMoon'':
** To canon - in chapter 9 of the sequel ''The Mare From the Moon'', references are made to events from the episodes ''Dragonshy'' (Twilight mentions a dragon’s snoring and producing smoke that caused troubles), ''The Cutie Mark Chronicles'' (Twilight hatching Spike), ''The Return of Harmony'' two-parter (what Discord did the first time they met him), ''Secret of My Excess'' (Spike’s Greed Growth-fueled rampage), ''Dragon Quest'' (their first meeting with Garble) and ''Gauntlet of Fire'' (how they first met Dragon Lord Ember).
** At the end of the first story, Spliced learned that she was her world’s "banished pony", who would be trapped on the moon for a thousand years, and at the end of that time “the stars would aid her escape”. At the end of the second story, this proves true - Spliced’s sentence ends exactly one thousand years after she was first sent to the moon, and she returns to Hesturland via the shuttle ''Aiding Stars'', piloted by a pony named Escape Velocity.
* In ''Fanfic/DoubleAgentVader'', the Rebellion's most highly placed mole in the Imperial hierarchy is a person code-named Ekkreth, with Leia Organa being one of the very few people who knows that Ekkreth is Darth Vader. At one of their meetings, Leia gets upset at the way Palpatine treats him, as if he were an inanimate possession instead of a person, and he agrees, "I'm a person, and my name is Ekkreth", echoing one of the first things he said in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''.
* ''Fanfic/FantasyOfUtterRidiculousness'' has a fair number of these to its [[WesternAnimation/MegasXLR source]] [[Franchise/TouhouProject materials:]]
** The return of Megas's "La Cucaracha" horn, Super Destructor Mode, and the Double Deuce.
** Marisa and Reimu's respective hair colors during their PC-98 days. Yuuka herself is still sporting the hairstyle and clothes from her initial appearances.
** Marisa ''tries'' to make one to the time [[spoiler: Alice was roped into working as a maid back in her PC-98 days]], only to be sharply interrupted.
** Yukari asks Yuyuko why she was woken up using almost the exact same words Jamie spoke to Coop back in ''Megas XLR's'' first episode.
* ''Fanfic/{{Quizzical}}'': ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/358383/the-quality-of-mercy The Quality of Mercy]]'', when Quiz and the Cake Twins meet a Wendigo, Quiz references ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/108294/adventures-in-cake-sitting Adventures In Cake Sitting]]'' where Wendigos were responsible for a enormous blizzard that dangerously snowed in Ponyville.
--> “I would have thought you had enough of windigos after the last time.”\\
The twins shuddered. Then Pumpkin shook her head and smiled. “Wispy not like that. He’s not scary, he’s cute!”
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/BoysAndGirls'' acts as a sequel to the episode "Study Muffin", tackling the issue of Lori's fawning over Hugh when she already has a boyfriend.
* ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'':
** Chapter 27 has a mention of the incident with Spoiled Rich from chapter 9.
** The epilogue references multiple events from earlier in the story, including the mention of Garble and Swift-Pad's promise to bring it up with his counterparts, and the wolves asking to send a delegation of spectators to the Equestria Games, including one who sees Shining Armor as his hero.
** In the seventh chapter of the fourth story, ''The Diplomat's Life'', Trixie mentions that she's creeped out by the thought of meeting the Pony of Shadows. She previously expressed a fear of meeting it in story 3, chapter 6.
* In ''Fanfic/FlowersDrenchedInVodka'', [[Franchise/LoveLive Umi]] is rather disturbed to hear that Eli has become TheAlcoholic and [[DomesticAbuse may be abusing her girlfriend Hanayo]]. The narration notes that, "[[BewareTheNiceOnes If Umi was willing to slap her best friend turned girlfriend over quitting being a school idol that many years ago, God knows what she would be willing to do to Eli]]."
* ''Fanfic/PeaceOfMindPieceOfHeart'': To numerous events in ''She-Ra and the Princesses of Power'' and ''Steven Universe'', naturally. For example, when explaining reasons why Steven shouldn't want to get close to her, she specifically mentions opening "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS3E04MomentOfTruth portals that nearly destroy reality]]" and ruining "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS1E08PrincessProm stupid, stuffy proms]]".
* ''Fanfic/AngerManagement'':
** Lori is working at Gus's Games 'n' Grub, which she did during "The Waiting Game", and rigs the raffle so that Lincoln wins. This is what starts the plot by allowing him to go to the convention.
** Lincoln's "victory undies" he wins in "Undie Pressure" are a plot point-- he keeps his tickets in them and then later Lynn steals them.
** The fight protocol seen in "Brawl in the Family" features again when Lynn's sisters try to keep her and Lincoln from fighting by separating them.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ThePandaChronicles'', Tae Young's nightmares were said to have started after the events of the movie.
* ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles'':
** Besides most chapters making references to events that happened in either previous chapters or [[Manga/{{Naruto}} the canon manga]], some chapters also mention events from the anime {{Filler}} episodes, such as the [[Recap/NarutoMizukiStrikesBackArc Mizuki Strikes Back]] arc or the [[Recap/NarutoSearchForTheBikochuArc Search for the Bikōchū]] arc. Even [[Anime/NarutoTheMovieNinjaClashInTheLandOfSnow the first movie]] is given a nod when Arekusu mentions Director Makino from that movie in Chapter 78.
** ''Naru-Hina Chronicles Mini-sodes'': During their day at the lake, Hinata does a move that reminds Naruto of a dream he had on a mission of a naked girl dancing in a waterfall (it was from the Search for the Bikōchū filler arc, and it was very much real). Hinata immediately becomes flustered as she can't believe that Naruto remembers that.
* ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'' has a number of these to their respective sources.
** In the time between Elpizo's uprising and Omega's arrival, Leviathan learned of Zero adapting his enemies' techniques for his own use. This gets referenced when she does the same thing against the Midnight Castle gang.
** A disgruntled Leviathan notes that her battles against Zero would probably have been more even if he didn't have access to the Flame Chip, and wonders who put the Guard Orotic—the boss that drops said Chip—in charge of the factory that the Resistance ended up capturing.
** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife The bugbear's escape from Tartarus]] and resulting dissolution of S.M.I.L.E. takes place shortly before the story begins. This gets commented on by Celestia when Gray tries to get herself reinstated into the organization.

''I'm coming,'' Peter thinks, determined and elated and sure, and extends the palm of his hand.

[[spoiler:However, the fight ends with [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Deep Specter]], [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Chaser Mach]], Ryugen Melon Energy Arms, and Samus herself doing a four-way Rider Kick.]]



* ''Fanfic/SuperSentaiVsPowerRangers''' sequel contains several call-backs to the original arc because the works covered are all by the same author.
** Chapter 8 has Rika mention that Impersonator saying "baka!" makes more sense than [[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman M!Takeru]] saying "Onore!".
** In Chapter 9, after Mika was called "Trini" while one of the heroes in ''Power Rangers Sword Dynasty'' watched ''Bioman'', Rika makes references to how [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Trini]] received [[Series/ChoudenshiBioman Mika]]'s backstory only because of the former's actress' tragic death and the latter's on-screen death.

She jokes that nobodies can't talk to the Planet. She starts to call him "Mr.Nobody" as an AffectionateNickname. Later, Aeris uses it to remind Cloud that nobodies can't talk to the Planet. [[spoiler:Which means the voice that Cloud is hearing is not the Planet, but [[OhCrap Jenova]].]]

* ''Fanfic/ThisBites'':
** Cross threatens Zoro with Chopper's medicine in Alabasta, causing Zoro to remark "So many colors, and I couldn't cut any of them." Later in Skypiea, Zoro threatens Cross with the same, prompting Cross to mutter, "So many colors, and none of them would listen." Lampshaded by Soundbite of course.
** When Sanji is informed that Princess Shirahoshi is underage and thus out of his range unless he wants to be a creep, he screams "CURSE YOU, FATHER TIME! CUUUURSE YOOOOUUUU!" Later, when Nami learns that a defeated Enel had flown off to the moon along with all her gold, she screams "CURSE YOU, ENERU! CUUUURSE YOOOOUUUU!" Bonus points for Soundbite responding with a deadpan "Seriously?"
** Cross tells Nami that her facing down Crocodile directly would lead to her being eviscerated in 10 seconds (8 to monologue, 1 to laugh, and 1 for the eviscerating). Nami repeats this for what the sea will do to them if they try finding a Knock-Up Stream without the help of a South Bird.
** When one of the Alabastan guards calls Cross and Soundbite scary for torturing the Unluckies with [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxyTrilogy Vogon poetry]], Cross responds with "Pi~ra~te." Later in the story, Robin responds with the exact same phrase when Cross calls her out for playing dirty.

The scene where the Wraith takes hold of him is a reference to the famous scene in ''Uncanny X-Men'' #101, when Jean first became the Phoenix.

** Notably featured are three uses of the Solar Flare attack to blind an enemy. In the first instance, Vegeta shouted it was like "walking in on Frieza in the shower"; the second victim several episodes later saw a brief image of a showering Frieza when hit with the attack. The third victim is Frieza himself, who sees a brief image of the second victim posing.

In episode 7, this gets a magnificent callback when [[spoiler:Seras goes full vampire after drinking Pip's blood, resulting in not only taking several levels in badass, but also regaining the use of the eyes that Zorin Blitz slashed out with her scythe. Zorin is flabbergasted, demanding to know how she is even able to look at her like this. Seras's response: "Fuck you, that's how."]]

* ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'' has a number of these to their respective sources.
** In the time between Elpizo's uprising and Omega's arrival, Leviathan learned of Zero adapting his enemies' techniques for his own use. This gets referenced when she does the same thing against the Midnight Castle gang.
** A disgruntled Leviathan notes that her battles against Zero would probably have been more even if he didn't have access to the Flame Chip, and wonders who put the Guard Orotic—the boss that drops said Chip—in charge of the factory that the Resistance ended up capturing.
** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife The bugbear's escape from Tartarus]] and resulting dissolution of S.M.I.L.E. takes place shortly before the story begins. This gets commented on by Celestia when Gray tries to get herself reinstated into the organization.
