Summary
“So, what is it that you’re looking for that you feel like friends can't give you?” is what Herm gets after he's done with a 15-minute monologue on how he can't be friends with Robert. He sits there and gapes. An answer comes to mind, perfectly formed as a well-rehearsed graduation speech or a baby about to be born. If he were to say it, he’d self-combust on the spot, but that isn't his area of expertise; that would be something more akin to what happens when a lump of cotton candy is thrown into a tub.
Herm goes to work, goes to therapy, and goes to (not so) great lengths to get over his workplace crush.

Summary
Batman watched as Edward brought the glass he had poured for himself to his lips, indulging in the bready drink with a soft sigh. Mismatched eyes met Bats’ own, and for once, the dark knight felt as though he was the one being studied. “Well,” Edward started again after he set his drink down carefully, “You must have found the answer, Batman. Tell me, what am I?”
He sighed. "The answer is loneliness. You’re lonely, Edward.”
Or, a romantic lens on Edward's date he set up in "Strange Love Adventures."

Summary
“Worse than last time?” Jayce posits a guess.
“It’s, eh-” Viktor shrugs. Tilts his chin this way and that. A tsk. “Bearable. I’ve endured worse hangovers in college.” he was going for a laugh, but the punchline never truly lands. Instead, Jayce’s thumb rubs softly into the back of his palm, pressing like he wants to idle the muscle mass into something new. It’s such a small thing, whatever this is, and yet it steadies the flow of his blood; the relief of loosening a valve, flicking off a pressure switch. It’s the necessary cracking-open of his breast. Jayce squeezes. Viktor allows himself the luxury of a sigh. “You shouldn’t be here.” he mutters.
Jayce reflexively shakes his head. “I took the day off.”
“We both know that’s-”
“—I could take the week.” he insists, almost a threat, a flicker of that eternal stubbornness coursing through him.

Viktor longs for a soft place in which to bury his teeth.

A non-linear tale of a reconciliation several years in the making.
Meant to be read in the order they were published, but most work as a stand-alone so suit yourself. In case it makes it clearer, chronological order is:
Hobbesian Trap -> Non-zero Sum Game -> Prisoner's Dilemma -> Nash Equilibrium -> Bayesian Game

Summary
But perhaps, you think, stirring your suddenly stilled feet into action, this is an opportunity. You have spoken many times to your group about the problematic nature of your Alternian counterpart’s methods. Surely, therefore, it behooves you to take the time, not just to attempt to analyze and deconstruct his words in absentia, but to actually call out the source of the toxic rhetoric in person. In fact, you have often mused about what you would say to him, how you would demonstrate to him his misconceptions and contradictorily kyriarchy-reinforcing methodology. You had not anticipated the reality of the situation coming upon you so suddenly, but, you suppose, no time like the present. Especially since he’s spotted you. So you remind yourself that while your own unexamined societally-instilled reactions may raise their metaphorical heads at unfortunate times, it’s important not to let your acknowledgement of them prevent you from educating others on the important issues, and walk towards him.
In Which Kankri Vantas, Social Justice Activist Extraordinaire, engages in dialogue with his other-universe counterpart.
It's surprisingly productive.
