This is kind of a one-off mainstream sighting, but it's so right here in front of me that I had to report it 
The new book by Robert Jordan called New Spring is a prequel to the Wheel of Time series. Among other things, it tells the story of Moiraine and Siuan Sanche's early years as Aes Sedai. And the subject of Moiraine's ticklishness gets more than just a casual mention...
Early in the book, Siuan is helping Moiraine prepare for a test in which she will have to channel the One Power while being distracted, and this happens:
"Invisible fingers seemed to run up her sides to her armpits. She was ticklish, as Suian knew well."
The tickling gets mentioned casually once or twice through the rest of the chapter, then much later in the book Moiraine is considering giving Siuane a hard time about something and thinks better of it:
"Moiraine did not answer the question. They were going to be sharing a bed, and Siuan knew exactly which ticklish spots could reduce her to helpless laughter and pleading."
