unwind the world, is your nightmare gone? by Scribblurri for yanime

Summary
He learns of lots of things that these people say his older self has experienced in the apocalypse: kindness, companionship, strength, family, love, sacrifice; all things they say the older him has provided to them.
(He's not sure he believes it.)
They seem to know him too well to the point that it scares him a bit, listing things they couldn't possibly know if they didn't; his hate for tomatoes, his tendency to lie with a straight face, his love for stories; even predicting correctly that his favorite food will be murim dumplings, once he tries them. They try very hard not to overwhelm him, but both the praise and insult they give him remain unchanging, time and time again.
The person they describe— it doesn't sound like him. Like anything he could possibly be.
(And yet, it's a fact that they're here, waiting for that person to come back to them. It's comforting, and frightening at the same time; both an assurance and an expectation.)
(or: Kim Dokja, and the mortifying ordeal of being loved)

Summary
Their clothes rustle as they move. Kim Dokja’s shoes tap gently on the floor, his breathing light and uneven and just a little too loud on the exhale. Jonghyuk hears his upcoming words in the brush of his coat, the sucked in breath, the pause.
“Yoo Jonghyuk. You don’t have to do this.”
When the opportunity comes, Yoo Jonghyuk tries to show Kim Dokja that he is capable of being loved.- Language:

Summary
“I want to kill them.”
Yoo Joonghyuk looks tired. His sword is drawn but unable to draw a line in the soil. In this world, he is the most powerless being. “I hate them.”
Kim Dokja is sprawled on the ground, head in his hands. There are footprints and blood all over his shirt and the ground; he wishes he could meld with the grass and never wake up. “I hate them too.”
Trapped in a scenario, Kim Dokja is forced to relive his past with an uninvited guest.

Summary
Jiang Cheng stares at him. “Didn’t you say you broke up five months ago?”
“Yeah.”
“So why do you have a picture of you two kissing taped to your fridge?”
“Because we’re too broke for magnets,” Wei Wuxian explains, then considers that statement. “Well, I’m too broke for magnets. Lan Zhan probably refuses to buy them because he’s trying to have lofty ideas about the moral failings of materialism.”
Wei Wuxian navigates the trials of living with his ex-boyfriend in apartment 1301.

Summary
There was no blood. No char. There was nothing to see except the strange softening of the Yiling Patriarch's mouth, as if just for a moment he was another person entirely.
"There is the mark of our bargain, and here is the challenge," said the Yiling Patriarch. "You may strike at me, exactly once, with your sword. I will not fight back; I will not resist you at all, Hanguang-jun." That silvery suggestiveness crept into his voice again. "And a year and a day from now, you will come to me and I will deliver exactly the same to you."
Lan Wangji heard his brother's voice raised in sharp and incomprehensible protest. His own heart was beating too loudly for him to hear anything else.

trust issues by Valkirin
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Teen Titans (Animated Series)

Summary
Robin is in trouble. Jason has only had the costume for two weeks and he isn't sure how he's going to get out of an auction half-filled with Rogues when Batman doesn't know where he is.
Batman can't drop into the middle of a bunch of Rogues without making it so much more dangerous for Robin. Matches Malone can get to the auction's door but he can't get in without playing along with a Rogue that's never operated in Gotham before.
Red X can get into the Rogues' auction on strength of his reputation. Dick never wanted to put the costume on again but he'd do a lot worse to save his little brother.
Jason doesn't know that Matches is Bruce, Bruce doesn't know Red X is Dick, and Dick is pretty sure this is going to end with Batman taking him down to save Robin before he realizes both of them want Jason to be safe.

Summary
— You were going to kill me.
Kim Dokja counted the stars, and thought of the many times he’d tried to kill himself over the long years of his lonely life. He hadn’t thought once more would matter. He had weighed the options, and the price seemed right to end the dream. But again, Yoo Jonghyuk stepped in.
How many times had the man saved him?
— Yes.
Or: two dreamers speak. Neither are monsters.

Summary
Exhausted from a busy cultivation conference, the last thing Lan Zhan needs is a man appearing out of thin air as he and his brother walk back to their hotel.
Wei Wuxian isn't the first time traveler to appear in modern cultivation history, but that doesn't mean anyone knows how to send him back. As he helps them fill in gaps in the historical record - whether left by destruction or revisionism - Lan Zhan finds himself hoping that he'll stay. Even if there are things Wei Wuxian isn't telling him.

Summary
Wei Wuxian dies at twenty-two and doesn’t come back. Lan Wangji dies in an “unfortunate accident” in a temple in Yunping at thirty-seven. The world moves on.
Thousands of years later, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan have a senior thesis in cultivation to co-write on the Yiling Patriarch. It doesn’t go exactly how they were expecting.
-
“I still do not understand why you were able to read the journal in the first place,” Lan Zhan says.Wei Ying grins. “You’ll laugh,” he says. He won’t, of course. Lan Zhan doesn’t laugh. But maybe he can swing a smile. “It’s because of the name thing. He wrote his name into the scrambling talisman. So it says that no one can undo the lock but Wei Ying.” He hooks a thumb at himself.
Everyone’s always said his name is unlucky. This is the first time it’s worked out in his favor. It’s not a coincidence either; apparently his mother thought it would be funny. Mrs. Yu had told him that with a curl in her lip, as if it didn’t make him wish he knew his parents even more.

Summary
"And then there's a customized copy of PONY PALS, a gift to you on your 14th birthday from the slippery Mr. Strider. Each page contains lovingly hand-written commentary on the deeds of this intrepid young horse. Later, about halfway through the book, rather than see the gag through to the bitter end, Strider began pasting over entire pages of original text with his own completely rewritten version of the story, while keeping all the chapter titles. His revision is a tough, emotionally draining read. But it's cathartic, in all the worst ways possible.
He tends to get carried away with his projects."Note: this work is an altered book, and it plays on the physical relationship between the original pages and the edited text. As such, it's presented as a series of images. Reading the images is the only way to get the full experience, but I'm aware that some people can't/don't want to read it that way. So if that's the case, you can skip to chapter 13, which is a text-only version of the story, including rough descriptions of the most important illustrations.
