8	----
9
10	%%* ''Fanfic/AceCombatEquestriaChronicles'': All ponies are "children of this land".
11	%%* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': "Together, forever and always" and "[[NotSoDifferentRemark You're just like me]]".
12	%%* From the ''Manga/DeathNote'' CyberPunk [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]] ''Fanfic/AlternativeGods'': "Because there cannot be two of the same thing."
13	%%* ''Fanfic/AsTwilightFalls'': "Sometimes a lie is easier to take."
14	* ''Fanfic/AIsA'': Anytime the characters notice a similarity between universes, good or bad, they will note by mentioning, "A is A."
15	* ''Fanfic/AlwaysVisible'': "Magistratus oportet servire populo" (The Police must serve The People), a Latin proverb that Galbraith sees before he learns of Delia's death. The inspector repeats it when he is already in London in search of the girl’s killer.
16	* ''Fanfic/{{Austraeoh}}'': [[TitleDrop "Austraeoh"]] ("East Horse") [[spoiler:refering to Rainbow Dash]], "Eljunbyro" ("Endurance Reborn") [[spoiler:refering to her companions]] and Urohringr ("Discordant Ring") [[spoiler:refering to the shattered world]].
17	* ''Fanfic/AWEArcadiaBayRogueDemon'': "Nam que tempus!"[[labelnote:translation]]For that time[[/labelnote]] The phrase is engraved on the LightningGun Jesse finds in Chernobyl, and Ahti says it to Max, which {{trigger\|phrase}}s a [[DreamingOfThingsToCome montage of past and future events]].
18	* ''Fanfic/BackwardWithPurpose'' has "Always and Always." It's about always cherishing and protecting those you love. As Harry notes, it always seems to end up meaning more than he thought it did.
19	* ''Fanfic/{{Between Dreams and Memories\|Universe}}'' has "Partners in crime, till the end of time" throughout the first installment, symbolizing the [[WeUsedToBeFriends initial]] friendship between Schlatt and Wilbur. This hits especially hard due to the fact that as per canon, [[spoiler:the two end up dying on the same day]].
20	* ''Fanfic/BetweenMyBrotherAndMeMorsOmnibus'' has three of them:
21	** "(Re)Purpose" or anything relating to that word. This is a term used by those in Carroll City when people are resurrected and must figure out what they want to do now that they are undead.
22	** "A new purpose awaits you!" usually used as {{Foreshadowing}} that someone is gonna die.
23	** "Through darkness and mirrors" is probably the Carroll City version of "Through the looking glass". This represents how people of the city can enter dimensions with ease.
24	* ''Fanfic/BloodAndHonor'': "There is no death, there is the Force." Sanguis hears this phrase from rebel Sith Kel'eth Ur early in the story, then finds them repeated to her by various Jedi she encounters. She struggles to understand what it means, since, as she's lost both her mother and her mentor, death seems very real and permanent. Not until the end of the story does she realize how the Force connects all life, which helps her see the underlying meaning of the words.
25	%%* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/436139?view_adult=true caede mea in nomine tuo]]'' [[note]]The lower caps are intentional[[/note]] has "I'm not crazy." Every time [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity Rinoa]] thinks that, it becomes [[StartOfDarkness less true.]]
26	* ''Fanfic/CatarinaClaesMustDie'': "Vile woman".
27	** Henrietta repeatedly calls Catarina a vile woman despite it being false.
28	** Francine calls Henrietta a vile woman after she attacks her following Henrietta's declaration that she was trying to murder Catarina.
29	** After hearing Henrietta declare for a second time that either he or Keith will kill Catarina when they find out "the truth" about her, Geordo calls Henrietta a vile woman.
30	** Finally, Henrietta calls herself a vile woman after talking with Catarina, underscoring how wrong her actions were.
31	* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has variations on "a storm is coming" throughout Book I, alluding to the constant, steady build-up of trouble and evil, before the storm is finally unleashed in the epic 4 part finale (chapters 75-78, not counting the two chapter epilogue. An argument can be made for chapter 74 being a part of it too), when everything comes to a head. It relates to the title, with Harry being the titular 'Child of the Storm.' As the son of Thor, this is literally true, but with the way trouble tends to follow him around, and how he's at the very centre of events (by the design of [[spoiler:Doctor Strange]]), it also refers to the more figurative storm.
32	** Doctor Strange's catcphrase, "Check," pops up a couple of times before the finale, alluding to his nature as TheChessmaster who's been manoeuvring ''everyone'', with his final, understated BadassBoast being "Check. Check and Mate."
33	** And then there are the repeated references to how Harry can either be a bright and shining MessianicArchetype or a terrifying DarkMessiah based on his choices.
34	* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'': "The Stars Are Right", stated by characters like Gendo, Fuyutsuki, Rei... when they think or feel that a prophecy is about to come to pass.
35	%%* ''Fanfic/CodePonyEvolution'' has the ArcWords "'''Game Over'''"
36	%%* In ''Fanfic/ACompleteTurnabout'', it's "Are you lying, Mr. Wright?"
37	%%* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'' has "And now you'll have an army at your back, and gods on your side" and "There Is No Such Thing As Fear."
38	* Fanfic/TheDearSweetieBelleContinuity has "AStormIsComing", amid hints of a coming war and {{Gotterdammerung}} [[spoiler:(though it literally refers to an actual storm which will lead into those events)]].
39	* ''Fanfic/DevilsDiary'' has "Resist the Temptation to Bend", constantly repeated by ComicBook/{{Magneto}} to remind himself he must be strong and ruthless enough to do whatever it takes to protect his people.
40	%%* ''Fanfic/DividedRainbow'': "It's always been this way."
41	%%* ''Fanfic/HardResetEakin'': "Well, that didn't work."
42	%%* ''Fanfic/EdAbuse'': "Heartless, cold-blooded jerk", at least in the first story.
43	%%* ''Fanfic/TheEndOfEnds'': "Things change, Beast Boy. The girl you want me to be is just a memory."
44	%%* ''Fanfic/AnEndToAllThings'': "Old habits die hard."
45	%%* ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'': "Corrupted kindness."
46	%%* ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons'': "Ante up" and "Hoofington rises."
47	* ''Fanfic/FamilyOfTheShield'' has "Game knowledge is to be acquired and used by those who learned it, not handed out to noobs" as a common saying between the Four Heroes in-regards to the RPGMechanicsVerse for the world they were summoned into being completely alien to their original worlds.
48	* ''WebAnimation/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged'':
49	It has "Don't fk up!", a phrase that started out as part of a simple RunningGag of Barret telling [[ButtMonkey Cloud]] that, only for Cloud to do just that. Until we get [[MyGreatestFailure Barret's backstory]]...
50	--->'''Barret:''' ''[after taking a couple punches from his former friends and not even trying to stop them]'' I f**ked up.
51	** These words turn out to have even greater meaning in Episode 17, where it's revealed that these [[spoiler: were the last words Dyne told Barret while begging him to take care of his daughter, before his [[NotQuiteDead apparent demise]]]].
52	--->'''Past Dyne:''' ''[speaking about Marlene]'' You take care of her! Treat her as your own. And live by these words... Don't. Fuck. Up.
53	%%* Each book of ''Fanfic/ForumOfThrones'' has its own arc words. For Book 1, they are the words of House Raylan "We Write History". Book 2 features the words "All For Our Pride", the words of House Reyne of Castamere. Book 3 is planned to feature the words of House Manwoody, which are "No King Above Me".
54	* ''Fanfic/FuneralForAFlash'' has Wally West repeat "Don't call me kid" every so often to stress he isn't a child anymore, and now his mentor Barry Allen is dead, he isn't Kid Flash either.
55	* ''Fanfic/FlowingStar'' has the occasional "Royal Woods is not for amateurs", this phrase means the city is more dangerous in this version.
56	%%* ''Fanfic/GirlInAllBlack'': Elsa always wears black. It's kinda blatant.
57	%%* ''Fanfic/AGrowingAffection'' has "Rank does not equate to skill" as the ArcWords for the first two books.
58	* ''Fanfic/HalloweenUnspectacular'':
59	** The fourth and fifth editions have "It always rains", an allusion to the cyclical nature of things, which include the fact that the {{Final Battle}}s of each story in the first MythArc include [[BattleInTheRain battles in the rain]].
60	** The second myth arc, which runs from the sixth to eighth editions, uses a sort of inversion. In the final entry of both [=HU6=] and [=HU7=], someone comments on the fact that it's ''not'' raining, reflecting how this arc is more of a single ongoing story across multiple editions. When it finally ''does'' rain at the climax of [=HU8=], it's a sign that this really is the end.
61	%%* ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheRestOfTheSentence'' keeps repeating that "[X] will be paying... with much pain."
62	* ''Fanfic/HardResetEakin'' has Spike say ''"Well, That Didn't Work"'' every time that [[GroundhogDayLoop the Time-Loop begins]] for Twilight. [[spoiler:By the time Twilight managed to finally resolve the major issues of the Time-Loop, she hears ''"Twilight, It Worked!"'']]
63	* ''WebVideo/HellsingAbridged'' opens with a {{Take That}} to ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'', capped off with Alucard saying the line "a ''real'' fucking vampire". Later in Episode 7, Alucard uses this same line to cap off his [[spoiler: YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech to Seras, when she's about to give up, helping her [[TookALevelInBadass become a real fucking vampire.]]]]
64	%%* ''Fanfic/TheHomestarRunnerShow'' has the arc words "width times height". Strong Sad eventually investigates this.
65	* ''Fanfic/HorseshoesAndHandGrenades'': "Death is never the answer." This quote is based on how Ryusei's decision to kill Gentaro caused [[PointOfDivergence the events in the story to rise]], and how things could've been settled differently other than by killing others. Most notably, this only works for ''Horseshoes'' only, as ''Wheel of Fortune'' has Mei wanting [[spoiler:her parents and the jerkwad people who were "posing" as her friends dead.]]
66	* ''Fanfic/HoursVerse'':
67	** "One choice can destroy, and one choice can save", or some variation. The two adaptations of ''Persona 5'', ''Butterfly Cascade'' and ''Monarch's Cascade'' use these words in their summaries, referring to the occasions where Akira can make this kind of decision -- taking or rejecting [[spoiler: Yaldabaoth]]'s deal in ''Butterfly Cascade'', and the same of [[spoiler: Maruki's deal for a utopian reality]] in ''Monarch's Cascade''.
68	** On the Other Side, "Sumaru City will never fall, so long as it has its Sun". Tatsuya and his Persona Apollo, whose Arcana is The Sun, are someone who the post-apocalyptic Sumaru City of the Other Side believe in immensely and this power of cognition is what allows the Persona-users to fight off the end of the world every full moon. It foreshadows the disarray Sumaru City falls into when Tatsuya [[spoiler: and Jun get pulled back to This Side by the events of ''My Kingdom for My Heart'']]; Ren and Goro at one point try to lessen the strength of this cognition to make it easier for Ren [[spoiler: and his Shadow]] to cope with his father's fame.
69	** The opening of ''Time's End Labyrinth'' plays with this. There's a variation on the main timeline's {{bookend\|s}} -- "It was the last day of the year, the world was ending, and all [Minato] wanted to do was sleep" -- and the summary borrows some wording from other installments' summaries:
70	*** "One [choice] that could destroy or one that could save" from ''Butterfly Cascade'' and ''Monarch's Cascade''
71	*** "The cards have other plans" from ''Catch Perfect''
72	*** "Two gods stand before them now and invite them to play a game" from ''Intermezzo''
73	*** "A heart damaged, broken, and torn" from ''Patchwork Hearts''
74	*** "They find it’s much easier to face the apocalypse together than apart" from ''Hours at the End of the World''
75	*** "May the strongest side win" from ''Heir Apparent''
76	* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'':
77	** "My life is work in progress", in the anime, Yeardley answered this when he was asked what he wanted to do in life (and as the author notes, made it feel like a DoubleStandard since Chloe Cerise got saddled with everyone else deciding her life choices). This is stated notable times as the only way in order to advance on the Infinity Train is to make progress (by dropping your number to 0).
78	** "[X] disappeared completely, never to be found": Chloe running away to escape her life and that she has caused her family and friends to think about how their (in)actions have caused them to make Chloe's home life even worse.
79	** "Monster": Chloe is mad that everyone wants her to like Pokémon (Pocket monsters) while she's into things like demons and other supernatural creatures (to the point of being called "Monster Lover"). Chloe's classmates and the likes of the Apex are described as [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters monsters]] for how they attack others who are different in order to give themselves satisfaction.
80	** [I'm gonna kill you] all kinds of dead: first spoken by Chloe after her bulliess' prank goes too far which represents her anger about to take over. Parker, who was also there when that happened, also states it in order to enact vengeance on those who hurt his sister.
81	** "Normal": Chloe is bullied because she's not "normal" -- as in, she's not into Pokémon -- and feels like she's so odd because of her love of monsters and demons. One of the themes of the story is that one shouldn't be forced to be what others expect them to be and that they don't ''need'' to be into Pokémon to have a happy life.
82	** "Try": Atticus's first piece of advice to Chloe is that she can't rush into things and must take the first step forward. Talia tells Mr. Pepper that Chloe was never told to try again. All Chloe wanted was someone to tell her to take a step forward and try something new. This word is about taking a step forward to doing something instead of being closed off from others.
83	* ''Fanfic/InTheEyeOfTheBeholder'' has "Beholder", used to describe Lydia in particular, and present each time she manifests a new Social Link.
84	%%* ''Fanfic/JewelOfDarkness'': "The greater good" for the [[TheConspiracy White Glove]] plotline.
85	%%* ''Fanfic/KeepOnRunning'' has "Save the Doctor" in the three chapters from Clara's perspective.
86	* "Speak the problem and it will be solved," in ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World''. In fact, the entire world seems to be swimming in Arc Words (labeled Gods Chat by George after he hears that the Pyar gods might be providing them) in graffiti, on message boards, etc, but this particular phrase comes up most frequently, and the four lampshade it on occasion. They do finally discover what the phrase is for [[spoiler:(it's how to remove the curse on the Last Wizard)]] and also that every other piece of Gods Chat is [[spoiler:actually a game clue, since they've been in a giant telepathic {{MMORPG}} all along]].
87	%%* ''Fanfic/KingOfKingsRulingOverRulers'': "The Tower knows, the Tower sees."
88	* ''Fanfic/KirbysDreamCafe'' has We Stay. They represent Kirby's coffee shop desire to stay. They appear at least once every chapter except the prologue (which set up from what they were staying) and the 4th chapter, [[spoiler:where they left at the end to get Kirby to a hospital.]]
89	%%* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton''
90	%%** "[I'm/He's] Superman. [I/He] can do anything."
91	%%** In a ShoutOut to the [[Film/SupermanTheMovie 1978 movie]], "I believe a man can fly."
92	%%* In ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfTotalDramaIsland'', the chapter-opening boilerplate periodically mentions in passing that Brett's mother has "neither spouse nor partner". For most of the story, this appears to be merely a narrative flourish. ''Appears'' to be.
93	* Two examples in ''Fanfic/TheLionKingAdventures'':
94	** The Swahili phrase "''Kufa inadwadia''" is this in Series Three. [[spoiler:It translates to "Death is coming", [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadowing]] the arrival of Death -- the BigBad of that series -- in the finale.]]
95	** "Kill or be killed" is this for Series Five. [[spoiler:Survival is a common theme in the final series, leading to many character deaths.]]
96	%%* ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' fanfic ''Fanfic/LostInTimeSeries'':
97	%%** For ''Lost in Time: Origins'': "A herd will survive."
98	%%** The big one for the whole series is "The Remnant will rise again."
99	* ''Fanfic/AManOfIron'': Book 2, ''A Crack of Thunder,'' has the riddle of the king, the rich man, the priest and the sellsword. Every character has a different answer to who dies, which tells a lot about their personalities. [[spoiler: Tony says that they're all just symbols, but those symbols have power. The Night's Queen quips that they ''all'' die, because no one thought the disregarded whore in the room with them was dangerous. Natasha states none of them truly live, because they've allowed themselves to be trapped in the game of thrones. Doom believes that you can only survive if you take on all three roles. And Magneto, naturally, says the one who lives is the one who doesn't need sellswords to kill for them... right before he slaughters the Bloody Mummers.]]
100	* [[NeverSplitTheParty "Always stick together"]] is a major example during the earlier chapters of ''Fanfic/MiraiSMP'' -- it's a message that Techno, Cooper and Travis recieve on their phones, and [[spoiler:Cooper doesn't listen to, leading to his demise]]. These three words nag at Techno for a long while after this.
101	%%* Every chapter of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12986165/1/A-Monster-s-Marriage A Monster's Marriage]]'' (except for the first two detailing Jaune's point of view) starts with the words "Cinder Fall was a monster."
102	* In the ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP:FIM]]'' fanfic ''Fanfic/MotherOfInvention'': "NEC DI NEC DOMINI" (translation: "neither gods nor masters"). This mysterious inscription has turned up on every structure Applejack finds.
103	* The title of ''Fanfic/NecessaryToWin'' is used repeatedly, and in various contexts, including what decisions are necessary to win, whether certain people have what is necessary to win, and whether it is necessary to win, or whether victory can be sacrificed if necessary.
104	%%* ''Fanfic/NightsFavoredChild'' has the rebels' code phrase "The dawn will come".
105	* In the ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'' fanfic, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9117847/1/Off-The-Path Off The Path]]'', the title is repeated in a few different contexts, usually in the context of the tank falling in the river that Miho [[spoiler:saved at the cost of losing the championship]], but later in the fic, it's mentioned again when Maho ponders that the incident "should not have been enough to force Miho off the path she had walked until now". The final sentence inverts the phrase, and the latter two uses signify that the fic is not just about the incident, but how it affected Miho's changing approach to tankery.
106	-->'''Miho:''' Whatever happens, from here on out, I will continue forward in tankery, on the path I have chosen for myself, along with those who have chosen to walk it with me.
107	%%* ''Fanfic/TheOneILoveIs'': ''"Some truths can hurt if a person is not ready to hear them."''
108	%%* ''Fanfic/OnePunchGamer'': "If a hero runs and hide, who will stay and fight?"
109	%%* "I Am, I" in ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling''
110	%%* ''Oyuban'': "[Naruto.] In the business we're in, you can't afford to wear your emotions on your sleeve"
111	%%* ''Fanfic/OyasumiMidoriya'': "Are you scared of me?"
112	%%** "I wish for..." [[note]]A variation of this is shown at the end of every animatic.[[/note]]
113	* The ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'' fanfic, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14163805/1/Pilgrimage-of-Life Pilgrimage of Life]]'' has Louise repeat slight variations of the phrase "For a friend? I will do anything".
114	* ''Fanfic/{{Pipeline}}'' has this one: "Sometimes being strong isn't enough. Being brave, and good, and determined isn't enough. Sometimes things just happen." Kevin says it to Blossom and Bubbles after Buttercup dies, and Blossom repeats it back to him at the end of the fic when it looks like Ben might not pull through. Even though Kevin says it himself, he doesn't really get it until later.
115	%%* "Four places at once" and "Come crashing down" are this by WordOfGod in ''Fanfic/PokemonMysteryDungeonSilverResistance''.
116	* ''Fanfic/PokemonXNimjaPlayTheGame'':
117	** ''"WMYD?"'' [[note]] "What must you do?" [[/note]], of course, not to mention the ''other'' two Hypnotic Questions: "Who do you obey?" and "How much (do you obey me)?" All three come straight from the original Nimja files on which this fanfic was based.
118	** The answers to the three questions, "obey," "you," and "completely," also count, and when translated into Dutch form what are arguably the ''true'' ArcWords of the series: ''"Ik gehoorzaam u volledig"'', which is Dutch for "I obey you completely."
119	* The ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' has a few examples:
120	** Almost all the stories end with the pony in question accepting her new position, declaring "I'm free." In the Discorded Series, this is normally a ''[[BreakTheCutie bad]]'' thing, but in the Reharmonized Series, it's a [[HesBack good]] one.
121	** "Pearls" for anything involving Fluttershy and Fluttercruel.
122	*** There's an arc SONG in the form of the three "So Many Wonders" reprises: [[spoiler:The first is about Fluttercruel's happiness over being free from Fluttershy and able to see the world, second is a VillainSong by [[BigBad Princess Gaia]] used to hypnotise ponies into her vision of the world, and the final is a TriumphantReprise at the finale of the arc, Fluttershy and Fluttercruel singing together about how their worldview has changed for the better.]]
123	** "Dying is easy, living is hard" for the entire series, but especially the [[BadFuture Dark World]]. While in the main series it deals with overcoming what Discord did to them, in the Dark World it's about [[TheAtoner living with what you've done]] and the world you live in.
124	** "Forgiveness is not earned, it's given" for the Dark World. In addition to the above theme, {{Forgiveness}} is an overarching theme, both being able to give it and being able to accept it.
125	%%* ''Fanfic/PowerRangersGPX Supercharged'': "It is God's will", which includes other wordings and variations.
126	* ''Fanfic/ThePrayerWarriors'': "The attack" in Battle With The Witches, which is one case of one that's never explained, since the Prayer Warriors never find out what's being planned.
127	%%** "Traitor" in The Evil Gods Part I and II.
128	%%* The [[TitleDrop title of the story]] itself is this [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/73406/rainbow-in-the-dark in the]] fic, ''Fanfic/RainbowInTheDark''.
129	%%* "Fanfic/TheReasonHeLies": "[X] appeared to be telling the truth."
130	%%* ''Fanfic/RobbReturns'': ''[[OhCrap The Others come.]] [[GondorCallsForAid The Stark calls for aid.]] [[DareToBeBadass You are needed.]]''
131	%%* The vocaloid fanfic ''Fanfic/RottingCamellias'' has "Even if the sun was to vanish, and every star was to fall from the sky."
132	* ''Fanfic/TheRoyalCouple'': "Princess." It's what Milady calls Haru, as well as Tsukasa's nickname for his marks. Some of the Shujin students consider Haru a "princess" to Kunikazu Okumura's king, being a spoiled princess who lives of her father's ill-gotten wealth.
133	* Fanfic/RunningOnAir: Several massively prevalent examples getting at the main themes of the work.
134	** "Going away is easy. Coming home is hard."
135	** "We could go anywhere."
136	** "What's the point, sitting in a box going only where other people take you?"
137	** "In incepto finis est." ("In the beginning is the end" in Latin)
138	** "But this isn't you, is it, Potter?"
139	* In the MLP AbridgedSeries ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged'', both Celestia and Trixie worn that "Unpleasant things stir in the south", independently of each other, which at first was thought to refer to the upcoming war with King Sombra. But it is later revealed that he is attacking from the ''north'' and it is actually foreshadowing that [[spoiler: ''Chrysalis'' is attacking from the south, meaning Equestria will have to fight a war on two fronts.]]
140	%%* ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'':
141	%%** "Do not ask questions you don't really want to hear the answer to."
142	%%** "Smile when you're happy, cry when you're sad."
143	* ''Fanfic/ShatteredSkiesTheMorningLights'' has "It's all gone wrong..." The phrase is said repeatedly by the story's GuardianOfTheMultiverse, as a sign that all reality is in danger. Played with in Chapter 35, where after a catastrophic TimeCrash, she can only whisper "It's all ''[[RetGone gone...]]''"
144	%%* ''Fanfic/StarsAbove'' has "All will come to ruin, and the [[TitleDrop stars above]] will fall."
145	* ''Fanfic/StealTheTruthReachOutForYourHeart'': Contradictions. Specifically, the contradictions of the human psyche, how two apparent polar opposites can exist in harmony in someone's heart.
146	* ''Fanfic/{{Synthesis}}'' : "Caged". This refers to the fact the [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Vocaloids]] must serve the business owning their programs as their singing androids, like singing birds living in cages.
147	* ''Fanfic/ThisBites'': What Cross first said to Smoker as part of his TheReasonYouSuck speech way back in Loguetown is recycled and refined in Alabasta, and afterwards used by Cross and Smoker himself multiple times to convince other Marines that the World Government is Corrupt and need to be rebuilt from scratch.
148	--> "A good Marine follows his orders to the letter and sacrifices everything for the sake of Justice, while a decent Marine sacrifices everything for the sake of all… ''even'' Justice, if it comes down to it."
149	* ''Fanfic/TimeToDisinfect'': The phrases "It was too much." and "It was all wrong." crop up repeatedly throughout the story, seeming to represent when Mari's anxieties are at their worst.
150	* ''Fanfic/TruthAndConsequences'': "I/we can still fix this" is practically Marinette's SurvivalMantra by the climax; she repeats it to herself more and more as the story goes on, trying to convince herself that she's still in control of a situation that the readers can clearly is see has gotten way, '''way''' out of her hands. It also demonstrates the similarities between her and Gabriel, who also uses the phrase in regards to this attempts to revive Emilie. The truth is, ''neither'' of them can, and neither of them can accept it.
151	* In the ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' fic ''Fanfic/TheGreatRedPandaRescue'', the phrase "No red panda left behind." is said repeatedly by Mei's friends to emphasize their resolve in rescuing Mei.
152	%%* ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TwoStep'': "Say hey, Daisy Mae. How many children have died today?"
153	%%* ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/24477/static-world Static World]]'' has, well, "static." Discord, naturally, [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade on it.]]
154	%%* ''Undertale: Rebirth'', a crossover between ''The Binding of Isaac'' and ''Undertale'', has "Show him [[http://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.com/The_Polaroid the photo]]".
155	%%* ''Fanfic/WolfChildrenFanfic'': "Promises are important. Family is important. Gotta remember important stuff, or else."
156	* Variations on "it wouldn't be so bad, being your heart" in ''Fanfic/YouCanOnlyUseYourOwn''. Always said by Chara to Asriel, it expresses both their self-loathing and their love for him.
157	* ''Fanfic/YuyaVision'': "Paradise", which is from Yuya's wish to have the dimensions be in peace.
