Line 18:
* ''[[Tiberium Wars]]'' likes to begin each chapter with a quote from one of the characters involved, and often ends with a hefty excerpt from military intelligence reports or research papers, [[Shown Their Work|making it clear that the author's done his work]] and knows his way around [[Command & Conquer: Tiberium|the Tiberium 'verse]].
* By the same author, ''[[Renegade (fanfic)|Renegade]]'' features Codex entries in line with those from ''[[Mass Effect]]'', to better explain how [[Fusion Fic|the addition]] of [[Command & Conquer: Tiberium|Tiberium]] to the setting has made things very different.
* Every chapter of the ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' fanfic ''[[A Thing of Vikings]]'' starts with a passage, sometimes extensive, excerpted from a book or other document written centuries after the events of the story, offering both [[Foreshadowing]] and tantalizing hints at the [[Alternate History]] that resulted from the events of the first movie. These works, dated anywhere from the fourteenth to nineteenth century, offer brief windows on a world where, among other things, the Norse religion had a powerful resurgence that drove Christianity back out of at least part of Europe, the [[Industrial Revolution]] kicked off more than half a millennium earlier than in our timeline, and a massive Empire descended from Berk has governed a fair portion of Europe under democratic principles for nearly a thousand years. They include a [[Wikipedia]] counterpart called "Wikikenna" (from the 1800s), the ''Encyclopedia Norlandia'' (1642), ''The Second Flowering Of Yggdrasil'' (a history book or paper from 1710), ''The Wing and The Ax'' (a [[Big Book of War]] written by Astrid Hofferson Haddock), and most interestingly ''The Dragon Millennium'' which is undated but in at least one passage makes it clear that it comes from a period where nanotech and space travel are common (and which is published by "Manna-hata University Press, Ltd." -- "Manna-hata" being the original Lenape word which became [[New York City|"Manhattan"]]).
