* The story's version of Doctor Strange has a strong affinity towards music, mixing it in with his use of magic on multiple occasions and emphasising how the two are connected in several of his lessons. Come ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' the MCU Doctor Strange engages in a WizardDuel with the combatants using ''music sheets'' as the focus and generating the corresponding notes.

* In Book I, Fury shoots down Clint's mischievous suggestion that he make Hal Jordan the next Green Lantern, on the grounds that Hal's a bit of a BunnyEarsLawyer. Come Book III, Hal is a Lantern on Sakaar with the equivalent of fifteen years experience, capable of controlling at least four fully charged rings.

* At one point, Hermione quotes Shylock's famous speech to reassure Harry that he's still essentially the same person, and still her friend. Then it turns out that she's the daughter of Wanda Maximoff and granddaughter of Magneto, which by some customs makes her Jewish. "I am a Jew," indeed!

* During the first book's FinalBattle, Thor casually shows that he can still throw around lightning even without his hammer. Then along comes ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', and he has to go through a whole movie and an epiphany before he can figure out how to do that.
* The first book's final battle also features Hulk smashing Chthon the same way he [[Film/TheAvengers2012 did to Loki]], with the latter commenting on how gratifying it is to see it happen to someone else. Then ''Ragnarok'' comes along, and Hulk does that to ''Thor'', with Loki being ecstatic about it.
* Yet another from the same film is Thor's statement to Strange that "So Earth has... wizards now, huh?" Given that he used to ''be'' a wizard on Earth, that's definitely worth a chuckle from any viewer who's also a fan of this 'verse (as is Strange's penchant for [[ThePrankster screwing around with]] Thor and Loki, which one can easily imagine [=CoS=]! Strange doing as well).
* Seeing how Steve hooks up with Sharon Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be a bit awkward when you realize that she's his great-granddaughter in this fanfic.
* When Harry and Carol first meet, they insist that they are JustFriends, and are set up to become PlatonicLifePartners with no ShipTease whatsoever. One book and a case of PlatonicWritingRomanticReading later (the author having apparently just shrugged and decided to go with it), they're still insisting that they're JustFriends, but literally no one, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt in-universe]] or [[FanPreferredCouple out]], is buying it. [[spoiler: Lo and behold, they eventually get together in chapter 46 of ''Ghosts''.]]
* Occasionally in ''FanFic/TheWizardInTheShadows'', the author would break a chapter into two in order to avoid it becoming too "monstrously long." Come this fic, especially ''Ghosts,'' practically every chapter [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness is at least half again as long]] as any in ''The Wizard In The Shadows.'' Whether or not this is a good thing is up for debate.
* At one point during Jane's Bifrost experiments, Darcy was accidentally warped to another dimension and ended up bonding with [[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 Death of the Endless]]. Darcy's [[Creator/KatDennings actress]] would later play Death in the series' audiobook adaptation.
* The two ''Literature/DresdenFiles'' books released in 2020 both have moments where Harry Dresden decides that he ought to imitate ComicBook/DoctorStrange. That gets pretty funny given that his character in this story is, following Wanda, Strange's eventual heir as Sorcerer Supreme!
* In 2021, it was revealed in the 'Enter the Phoenix' arc of Jason Aaron's ''Avengers'' that Thor was the son of Odin and a SignificantGreenEyedRedhead Phoenix Host - a human mutant, no less. Much like Harry, Thor's son in this fic. Even the later reveal that she was technically more like his godmother, having 'rebirthed' him in Phoenix fire after he was born from Gaea and murdered by Laufey, only further drove the point home. Not for nothing has Nimbus occasionally griped that he should be on commission.
* On the other hand, in this fic, Yelena Belova regards herself as better than Natasha, constantly insulting her and seeking to prove herself the "true" Black Widow. When the MCU introduced Yelena not long after, she turned out to greatly ''admire'' Natasha, to the point of BigSisterWorship! [[WordOfGod Nimbus]] has since observed that one of his bigger regrets is introducing this version of Yelena before the MCU version appeared, noting that it would have been very interesting to have her as a contrast.
