Trivia about The Return (fanfic) includes:
- All There in the Manual: The Appendices Section has the background details.
- Rouge Angles of Satin: Absolutely littered with all manner of errors that a simple proofread pass could have eliminated, such as rampant word choice errors like the author's persistent misuse of "discrete" (separate) for "discreet" (circumspect), frequent sentence fragments, and missing words in key places. At least there are no outright spelling errors.
- Shout-Out: Loads of them, including (but not limited to): Stargate, Babylon 5, The Prisoner, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Star Trek, The X-Files, The Poky Little Puppy, Team Fortress 2 and many, many others. A few examples:
- The WIC machinist who manufactures many of the succubae's guns is named Gladys Coulton. The guns she makes have lines from "Still Alive" engraved on them.
- The Russian cyborgs are based on (or perhaps "inspired by" is more accurate) the Numbers from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS; their creator was a man named "Scaglietti".
- Misako recites much of the dialogue from the "Meet The Heavy" promotional trailer for Team Fortress 2, calling herself "Heavy Weapons Girl", naming her new gun "Sasha", and finishing up with "Cry some more!"
- Back to The Return (fanfic)
