* ''Fanfic/BurningSecret'': Several things foreshadow that [[spoiler:someone set up the fire to happen]]:
** When Lincoln sees the beaker on the floor of the lab, he can't see how it could have fallen.
** Lincoln notes that it's odd that one of the two paper towel dispensers isn't on the wall. Then, when he takes the paper towels out, there is a "light scraping sound".
** The police are certain that it was arson and reveal that the liquid Lincoln cleared up was a fire starter. He notes that this doesn't make sense.

* ''Fanfic/HoursVerse'':
** When Mitsuru is watching TV in ''Catch Perfect'', one of the programs mentions the latest deaths in the Inaba serial murder case, an instance of FiveSecondForeshadowing to [[spoiler: the deaths of [[AlternateTimeline Hamuko's]] Investigation Team]]. After that reveal, Hamuko notes that's been foggy lately, foreshadowing [[spoiler: Izanami spreading her fog unimpeded and subsequently bringing about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.]]
** In Chapter 28 of ''Butterfly Cascade'', Akechi tells Akira that "all the world's a stage". Later, [[spoiler: Akechi's [[MentalWorld Palace]] turns out to be a theatre, with Robin Hood quoting this exchange back at Akira.]]
** Despite what Minato assumes of him, the narration in ''As The Bells Toll'' never once calls [[spoiler: the Other Side's Tatsuya]] by name; a big hint towards the fact that he's actually [[spoiler: Nyarlathotep trying to manipulate him.]]

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14009357/1/Nightfall Nightfall]]'', Chilli acts unusually tired, and she also coughs the morning after the hot sauce was bit.

* ''Fanfic/ItsAboutTheBones'':
** Pretty much everything to do with The Body.
--->''Why are you here now?'' I want to ask her. But you're ignoring me again.\\
Maybe that's for the best. Otherwise, you might notice me capitalizing the Body.\\
When you do notice, I'm gonna need you to get really cool about a lot of stuff ''really'' quickly.\\
Like. Hoo boy.
** Harrow can produce saltwater on command. That's not actually a necromantic ability.
--->(Note to self - should probably look into the whole saltwater body fluids on demand thing. I'm not sure why it keeps happening. Definitely not part of the whole perfect Lyctor thing I anticipated.)
** Mercymorn calls Harrow a "cuckoo." Cuckoo birds steal into the nests of other birds and pretend to be something they're not. Yeah, she wasn't calling her crazy.
** Ianthe is repeatedly getting worn down by her incomplete Lyctor transformation. [[spoiler:It turns out that, with Harrow being a success this time around, the Saint of Duty has been trying to kill ''her''. Both Gideon and Harrow are horrified that they never realized it]].

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12537267/1/Driving-Dr-Spengler Driving Dr. Spengler]]'', Winston is [[DangerousDrowsiness tired]] and has a stomach ache. This foreshadows him having [[RupturedAppendix appendicitis]].
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12573127/1/Under-the-weather Under the Weather]]'' foreshadows [[HereWeGoAgain Janine catching Egon's cold]] by her sniffling, mentioning having an itchy throat, and getting chills. Venkman even wonders if she's getting sick, but this just irks her. Also, Peter teases Egon about liking Janine, which foreshadows them becoming a couple in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12825040/1/Love-Sick Love Sick]]''.

*''Fanfic/AsylumOfDoom'': [[spoiler: All Gaz sees of the thing that startles her and makes her fall down the stairs are a pair of red eyes in a white face. Upon meeting the albino Maddie in the past, she gets a feeling of familiarity, and at the end of the story, it's shown that what startled her was an albino bat that is then [[AmbiguousSituation implied]] to be Maddie's ghost in another form.]]

*''Fanfic/TheNewAdventuresOfInvaderZim'':
**Season 1:
***The plot of Episode 5 (Dib desperately trying to get ahold of a book on vampire hunting) is set up by a throwaway line of dialogue in Episode 4.
***Early in Episode 18, Gaz proves her gaming skills with the motto "play smarter, not harder". [[spoiler: She ultimately beats Iggins in their tournament by focusing on winning on points, rather than trying to rush through each game, the way he does.]]
**Season 2: In Episode 12, GIR is watching the Scary Monkey Show at the beginning of the chapter, before the TrappedInTVLand plot kicks off. [[spoiler: The climax sees the group meeting the actual Scary Monkey.]]
*''Fanfic/TheSmeetSeries'':
**When Red interrogates the surviving kryvtor assassin in ''The Smeet'', the prisoner mocks him, telling him that he wouldn't be able to protect Ilk forever and one day he'd make a mistake, lamenting that he wouldn't be there to see it. [[spoiler: This later proves to be true in ''Lost'' when Red has a monstrous argument with Ilk and slaps her, pushing Ilk to run off and nearly get killed when a stick goes right through her.]]
**Throughout ''Lost'', Blue mentions that his father and grandfather left for a suicide mission and never returned. Additionally, Red finds an uncanny resemblance between Blue and the kryvtor assassins that nearly killed him.

* ''Fanfic/InvaderZimABadThingNeverEnds'': Near the end of Chapter 2, Dib and Gaz discuss how the CEO of Coathanger Electronics is moving to the City to set up his new corporate HQ.

This is confirmed in Chapter 7, when said CEO is revealed to be part of the BigBadEnsemble.
