Line 14:
** And, as of MV2, Wrex has taught ALL OF TUCHANKA about the game. ALL OF IT. Art loudly makes Wrex lose the game and the entire room of Krogans goes "Oh, dammit!"
* In the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' fics ''[[Inglorious Boshtets (Fanfic)|Inglorious Boshtets]]'' and ''[[Project Gethinator (Fanfic)|Project Gethinator]]'', neither Tali nor Shepard can seem to go through a single mission without [[Stuff Blowing Up|something going kaboom]].
* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'', Kyon reminds himself he has a very special hell waiting just for him after {{spoiler|kissing Haruhi, the older Mikuru and Yuki.}}
** Also, the very first line readable from a letter from the future is an commentary in context of the conversation.

** One is Balian a) insisting 'it feels worse than it is' or variants thereof b) Balian's numerous attempts to escape whichever infirmary he is in this time, being something of the [[Butt Monkey]] (he gets beaten up repeatedly, usually after doing something stupidly heroic and getting outnumbered).
** 'Nanny Balian' and 'Nurse Legolas' (or according to Jack Sparrow, Nurse Legless, somewhat ironic as he spends most of his time drunk). This last one also doubles as a [[Berserk Button]] for both of them.

* ''[[Progress (Fanfic)|Progress]]'' has poor Princess Luna getting bashed and battered by baseballs. That, and her attachment to her [[Companion Cube|abacus]], which has become a bit of a running gag in itself because it gets [[Shout
* There are two in ''[[With Strings Attached (Fanfic)|With Strings Attached]]'':
** When the four first meet the exiled skahs wizard Lyndess, she immediately asks them, “What are you selling, olyrr-sars [outworlders]?” When they are sent to Ta'akan, every single person they meet thereafter asks them the same question, until word finally spreads that they have nothing to sell. (At one point a very annoyed John comments that if they get asked that stupid question one more time, he's going to pull his trousers down and say “Yeah.”) Much later, when the Hunter is brought to Ta'akan, he gets swamped with people asking him that.
