* ''The Barsoom Project'' opens with a battle scene from the first Fimbulwinter Game, in which a club-wielding Adventurer is killed out by the Terichik. At the end of the book, the second Fimbulwinter Game kicks off its own climactic battle with an identical scene using the same lines of narration, except that this time {{spoiler|it's Max who dies}}.
* The [[His Dark Materials]] cycle begins and ends with the name of the protagonist: ''Lyra and her daemon moved through the darkening hall. [...] "The Republic of Heaven," said Lyra.''
* [[Don Quixote]]: At chapter I of the first part, Don Quixote spends [[Serious Business|four days thinking how to MeaningfulRenameMeaningfully Rename his horse, and another eight days how to rename himself]], showing us that he is a [[Mad Dreamer]]. At the penultimate chapter of the second part, Don Quixote immediately thinks of the names he and his partners will adopt as shepherds, and Sanson Carrasco even saysays some names in a carelesslycareless manner. ''Don Quixote laughed at the adaptation of the name'', showing us that he now is [[Bored with Insanity]].
* ''[[Low Fantasy|Shy Leopardess]]'' by Leslie Barringer opens and closes with the main character pointing out to a guest that from her castle's tower it's easy to see that the nearby lake is shaped like a sword. She uses the exact same sentence on both occasions.
