** Helheim, the Lady of Death in this dimension, is named for the region where the dishonorable dead (meaning those who didn't die in battle) go in Norse mythology. Related to this, one of her other Reapers is named Nidhogg, after the creature that gnaws on the world tree Yggdrasil.
** In chapter 2, Fall Harvest reveals his knowledge of Earth pony magic applied to farming; his information, including the consequences of letting things grow too fast, are based in part on Applejack's own knowledge in ''FanFic/ProjectSunflower''.

** Chapter 11 mentions one of Spliced’s old classmates who, during a history exam, made a mistake involving a war from long before their time - he thought it was named after one of the generals involved instead of the piece of territory where most of the fighting took place. This references a scene from the ''[[Literature/TheCurseOfTheBlueFigurine Johnny Dixon]]'' book ''The Drum, The Doll and the Zombie'', in which the title character's father is noted as having made the same mistake on his own history exam (he thought UsefulNotes/ThePeloponnesianWar involved a general named Peloponnesian, instead of primarily taking place in the Peloponnese region). However, unlike the character Spliced mentions, Major Dixon acknowledged and accepted his error when it was pointed out.
** During the aforementioned scene in chapter 11, Spliced refers to one of her classmates as “a gasbag of ego”. The same phrase was used by an annoyed character to describe one of her squadron mates in ''[[ComicBook/XWingSeries Star Wars: X-Wing - Solo Command]]''.

** The last three chapters of the "Canterlot Wedding" arc are listed under the name "[[Series/DoctorWho When A Good Dragon Goes To War]]". For bonus points, the Doctor himself cameos.

** Nurse Crystal is an OC of SpaceBattles/[=FIMFiction=] user Tangent, who provided the name of the story.
** Batty, another OC for Tangent, appears briefly in chapter 4.
** The ''FanFic/OldManHenderson'' story is referenced in chapter 7 as "Old Mare Henderson".
** Twilight gives a near exact quote from ''[[ComicBook/XWingSeries Star Wars: X-Wing #4 - The Bacta War]]'', only replacing a character name with “We”.
** Discord similarly borrows the majority of one of Commander Khashoggi's lines (changing the last word into a longer phrase) from ''Theatre/WeWillRockYou''. He later paraphrases the MajorGeneralSong.
** In chapter 8, Discord references ''[[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There]]'' with the line "I do six impossible things before breakfast", a variation on a line originally spoken by the White Queen.
** In chapter 9, Twilight describes dragons as both “extreme omnivores” and “obligate silicavores”, in reference to a scene from Saphroneth’s ''FanFic/TheUnicornAtHogwarts'' where she used the same phrasings.
** Also in chapter 9, Spliced mentions (when explaining why she doesn’t want to anger beings like Discord) that “[[FateWorseThanDeath You’d be surprised what you can live through]], even ''without'' my kind of immortality.” The first half of that sentence references the ArcWords from ''Disney/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar''.

* In ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''/''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'', "[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/father-knows-best-evangelion-xenogears.574706/ Father Knows Best]]", Kensuke compares Rei with a famous [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} skirt-wearing female superhero]]:
-->“What did you see?” Her eyes narrow. She has not yet developed laser eyes, but that is on her to-do list.\\
“I saw you fly,” he responds. Honesty, he figures, is the best policy.\\
Rei clenches her eyes shut and lets out an almost silent swear.\\
“I also did not take any pictures despite it being a prime opportunity for an upskirt picture because I have a good idea of what Asuka would do to me.”\\
“Good instincts." Then she narrows her eyes. Her feet rise from the roof, and she folds her arms, floating over to him and over him. Leaning down, she meets his gaze. “Wait. You're more afraid of Asuka than me?”\\
He shrugs. “You can fly, so my mental image of you beating me up has you in spandex and a cape.”
* In ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' fanfic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12664335/1/Heroes-and-Villains Heroes and Villains]]" two female heroes invoke famous comic-book team-ups:

And if you wanted to get away from the Shadow Stalker persona, we can borrow from those old pre-powers comic books. You know, Franchise/{{Superman}} and Franchise/{{Batman}}. Stuff like that.\\
'''Shadow Stalker:''' In case you missed the memo, we're girls, not guys.\\
'''Glory Girl:''' Fine. ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}. They were a thing too, you know.\\
'''Shadow Stalker:''' I am ''not'' putting ears on my mask. And if you put an 'S' on your chest, I'm gonna tell everyone it stands for 'Stupid'.\\
'''Glory Girl:''' Well, okay, we'll stick with Glory and the Shadow.\\
'''Shadow Stalker:''' That is ''not'' going to be our team name.\\
