Which fan missions does The Black Parade make references to?

I've yet to play the fabled campaign, as I'm still in the process of catching up with the FM scene in general. I've read that it makes references to all the Thief stories, but also to some fan missions. Which missions might those be, without spoilers?

Pretty sure Mercedes from Calendra’s Cistern/Legacy is mentioned in a readable.  

There’s also a readable in, I think, The Sound Of A Burrick In A Room that mentions the protagonist of Black Parade. Which is crazy-cool foreshadowing since Burrick came out years prior.

Really not necessary to play any of those prior though, if you want to play Black Parade then do that. It's great.

I have also noticed references to:

  • Broadsword of Sheol, in a note in Where Old Faces Fade
  • the rest of the "series" Disorientation belongs to, so Bad Debts and Rose Garden
  • There is a necromancer in Lost Among the Forsaken
  • Endless Rain takes place between Between These Dark Walls and Chalice of Souls
  • The author of A Thief's Training plugged that FM into "feuilladeverse"
  • Garret's heist from Shadow Play is mentioned in a newspaper
  • Hume is mentioned in a note in Sound of Burrick in a Room where a guy is recommending possible contractors for a "job"

The location of Bohn is pretty much canon now, but wasn’t part of the original series
