* ''Fanfic/AddressUnknown'' has Derpy give this monologue after Twilight agrees to search for a spell that will fix her eyes, despite admitting there may not be one. "You know, occasionally when I’m delivering mail I get a letter addressed to a place that doesn’t exist; maybe somepony moved, or maybe somepony miswrote the address. When we get those letters, we just send them back to where they came from and move on to the next destination. There is nothing we can do in the Post Office to make that address appear. Maybe that same thing will happen with fixing my eyes. Maybe there is no answer; maybe there is no fix. It doesn’t mean we can’t look, but if it’s not there, then it’s just an 'address unknown'. We accept it, we move on. And then I can move on, too."

* In the LyricalNanoha fic, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7460359/1/Judgment-Day-s-Not-Coming Judgment Day's Not Coming]], the title is a reference to Signum coming back time and time again, most recently after her defeat at Cypha's hands, and is the last words in the fic.
-->'''Cypha''': "I killed you. You're dead. I rarely get the chance to kill someone twice."
-->'''Signum''': "If you bothered to have any conception of my history, you would know what it means to be a Wolkenritter. My judgment day's not coming."
* Toward the end of the MaiHime fic, ''Fanfic/PerfectionIsOverrated''.
-->'''Shizuru''': Being perfect or having something that is perfect are things people often strive for, but they are things that are impossible to reach. Not only is it difficult to define, but frankly, perfection is overrated. You never have to improve yourself, struggle against your weaknesses, or learn how to understand yourself or the ones you love.

Perhaps, if the snow leopard can be taught...A Different Lesson"), but it is properly referenced at least three times in the fic itself--the first time during the training on Wu Dan where it emphasizes what Tai Lung has to do differently and how he should view the world and his place in it if he wants to be a hero, the last time at the very end when he is reflecting back on everything he's gone through. The second time, in a sinister variation, is spoken by the BigBad, implying [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow what he will offer]] if Tai Lung [[WeCanRuleTogether joins him]].
