Line 105:
* Played with in [[The Hourglass Door]] trilogy (As it's full of time travel). In the second book, Leo tells V to go back in time and tell his past self that, "the lady of light" sent him, and that it is time, "to honor his vow," so that Past Leo won't kill Future V. In the third book, main character Abby goes back in time and saves Leo, who calls her his lady of light, and she asks him to promise to do something for the one who asks him to honor the vow. It gets more confusing from there.
* In ''[[Discworld/The Science of Discworld|The Science of Discworld]] II'' after traveling back in time most of the wizards make a point of saying something to their past selves to prove that they are time travelers rather than doubles created by the elves. The exception is Rincewind, who is so jaded by everything that's happened to him in his very eventful life that he just walks up to his past self and says hi.
* In [[H. Beam Piper]]'s ''Four-Day Planet'', there's a moment when the narrator remarks that if, when his father dies, a medium claims to produce a spirit message from him, he won't accept it as genuine without Dad's [[Catch Phrase]], "Now wait a minute; it's here somewhere." This isn't any kind of [[Foreshadowing]], just a bit of humor about his father's way of misplacing things and rummaging around looking for them.
