Honourable mentions

• Tarantino films ("film Tarantino", Malfeasance 11.10) - may refer to The Matrix being a Tarantino film in-universe, or to Tarantino's work in general. IMO, the latter is more likely. It could also refer to a specific Tarantino film, but I doubt it.<ref name=":4" />
• Princess Lilyhugs (Poke: Fourth) - a "Princess Lilyhugs lamp" is a thing that exists in-universe, but who or what Princess Lilyhugs is, is not stated. I'd guess that it's some sort of fictional goblin Disney Princess type character?
• The S.K. (Pact: Duress 12.1) - some kind of spy operative entity, possibly fictional in-universe
• Many traditional games: chess, tarot, poker, Go Fish, Nine Men's Morris, etc
• Many traditional myths and tales, best known from ancient works such as the Testament of Solomon, Ovid's Metamorphoses, etc. The line between a traditional story and a literary work is vague, so I've listed them under Creative Works only if they are explicitly named or quoted in the text.
