== Axis Powers Hetalia ==

* The ending of the [[Axis Powers Hetalia]] fic: [http://ladyemme.livejournal.com/17633.html Man Eater], where after a virus had turned most of the countries into mindless zombies and leaving only {{spoiler|Germany and England}} still alive, they are rebuilding their homes and gaining new nations, such as {{spoiler|Franitalia and Americanada}}. The fact that they got together and are raising the new nations who were once their significant other, despite all the mental torture they both went through, was just as heartwarming.

* The Hetalia fanfic arc 'What The Heart Forgets' is full of these. Lots of heartbreak too, granted, but so much pure love to counteract it that it made this Troper cry.

* An [[Axis Powers Hetalia]] one showing how Kumajirou and Canada met. Kumajirou having been abandoned/seperated from his family was alone and cold, wrapped in a tattered blanket. Until he met Canada, who gave him a new blanket and took him into his home. Their first conversation of "Who are you?" and "I'm Canada" was never more heartwarming than this.

* One ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' [[Doujinshi]] (''Zettai No Idea'') shared on the [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Giripan]] LJ community is so effective at invoking this trope that you ''feel'' it even if you can't read a word of the Japanese text, as it's clear that the plot is about how Japan and Greece, in spite of them clearly being in love and even having sex with each other, are still not truly together because of Japan's [[Cannot Spit It Out|inability to be honest about his feelings]]. Then after Japan returns back to his country, apparently believing that his [[Anguished Declaration of Love]] went unheard (due to it being drowned out by an airplane passing overhead) and having resigned himself to this, he finds out that Greece perfectly understood what he had meant to say and has in fact followed him back home. Cue a smiling Greece saying what can't be anything less than an "I love you" in Greek, and Japan tearing up and throwing himself into Greece's arms like he's dreamed of doing for a long time. The subtle yet profound differences between the doujin's two color spreads just clinch it.

* In an [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Canada x Russia]] fanfic "Giving In", one chapter had Russia [[Heroic BSOD|overwhelmed by his past.]] He was alone in his room when Canada (who didn't know of his present condition) entered, returning Russia's scarf that had dropped earlier. But in his unstable state, Russia snapped and tried to strangle Canada. Then Canada whispered "Доверься мне." Which means {{spoiler|"Trust me."}} And Russia did.

* In this wordless [[Axis Powers Hetalia]] doujin, little Canada wanted to go to a bakery, but when he tried to tell them, America, England and France didn't notice him. Sadly, he stared longingly at the store, tears running down his face. Then, his family realized he was crying and tried to comfort him. America led the way by bringing Canada into the store. When Canada looked behind him, both France and England had stopped bickering and was ushering him inside with smiles on their faces. The last panel was Canada with tears in his eyes. This time, in happiness.

'''Prussia''': You want to know why I came back? Because I can't think of a reason why I wouldn't help my little brother! }}

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6633307/1/Let_Your_Heart_be_Light Let Your Heart be Light] has America and England celebrating their first Christmas together as a couple. The interaction between these two are so cute and heartwarming this troper couldn't help but tear up a little.

* [http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/21125.html?thread=86580357#t86580357 Regarding your Request for my Return], a non-kinky [[Kink Meme]] fic; the request was for a fic showing England's difficulty raising a child with [[Super Strength]], and the response was this little piece of adorableness.

* [http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/20749.html?thread=80676621 Shadows on the Walls] is about Germany being misinformed that Russia has raped Prussia and trying to help in a terribly awkward way when Prussia comes back. The ending where the truth comes out is a CMOH in itself, but that's not the bit that made this troper gooey. No, it was the bit where the Berlin Wall comes down:

 

== Batman ==

* There was this [[Batman]] fic where {{spoiler|after Batman had came back from the dead}}, he received many hugs from the Batfamily and many hugs from other people too. However, there was only one time that Batman was the one to initiate the hug. It was with {{spoiler|his [[Parental Substitute]] Alfred.}}

 

 

== Harry Potter ==

* From the [[Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness|DAYDverse]]: Any scene with [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Terry Boot and Michael Corner]]. Actually, come to think of it, when Thanfiction's not [[Tear Jerker|ripping your heart out and stomping it into a bloody pulp]], he's most likely giving you one of these.

* The Harry Potter fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1957391/1/Make_a_Joyful_Noise Make A Joyful Noise]'' by ''Bored Beyond Belief'' is one that makes the reader feel all warm and fuzzy. Especially what Harry had to go through in the first story ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/750576/1/Never_Alone_Never_Again Never Alone Never Again]''. Pretty much what happened in "Never Alone, Never Again", Harry {{spoiler|was abused by the Dursleys and tormented both day and night by visions of Voldemort and his Death Eaters torturing and killing his many, many victims. Whatever his victims felt, Harry felt it too, every pain, every injury, every curse inflicted on the victims. And to make things worse, the Ministry of Magic was hushing up all the deaths and wanted to pin the blame on Harry. So they tossed him into Azkaban to keep him silent.}} Fortunately, Harry gets better, though it isn't a complete victory, with Harry still suffering from nightmares and the repercussions of {{spoiler|the wandless magic he used in the form of the Killing spell on Voldemort}}. However, in ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1957391/1/Make_a_Joyful_Noise Make A Joyful Noise]'', we see that though not everything is back to normal, {{spoiler|Harry is recovering steadily and opening up to Sirius and Remus.}} What truly seals the moment is when {{spoiler|Harry shows Sirius and Lupin his Animagus form, which is that of a phoenix. As he takes flight and they watch in utter joy as the phoenix sings and soars, finally free.}}

* A rather twisted version in a '''NSFW''' ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fan fic: Bellatrix has been keeping Hermione prisoner, and they are involved in a [[Squick|BDSM]] relationship. After another night of sexual torture, Hermion blurts out [[Victim Falls For Rapist|"I love you, Mistress!"]] Bellatrix thinks to herself that Hermione deserves to be beaten for speaking out of turn like that. Instead, she just smiles and says {{spoiler|"I love you too, my pet."}} Awww...

* The following Harry Potter fanfics of the slash variety:

** [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3247611/1/ New Beginnings and Old Tree Houses] by The Treacle Tart, in which Ron adopts three werewolf children with the help of Remus.

* There was this fanfic about Harry and Draco meeting again after their sons had become friends. Of course, Draco being Draco mocks and sneers while Harry is just as casual and just as insulting, though they were both more friendly than hostile. At the end, when Harry takes his son back home, he holds out his hand and Draco takes it.

* [http://whydoyouneedtoknow.fanficauthors.net/Living_with_Danger/index/ Living With Danger] and the other Dangerverse fics by Anne Walsh has many examples of what a CMOH is:

** When Sirius, Remus, Danger and Aletha are acquitted and declared innocent, Sirius jumps in joy and embraces the [[It Makes Sense in Context|cubs]], but the big moment is when he finally embraces a crying Harry, and this exchange happens:

'''Sirius''': Not a chance, Greeneyes. Not this time. }}

 

== Metal Gear Solid ==

* In the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' [[Time Travel]] epic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2711502/1/Stray Stray], the Shadow Moses arc has a few of these, since it's when we get to see the results of Ocelot's efforts to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]. {{spoiler|Snake and Liquid's relationship in particular. There's something both heartwarming and bittersweet about the fact that, at least in one [[Alternate Universe]], MGS's Cain and Abel actually like each other}}.

* The [[Metal Gear Solid]] fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5704545/1/Howling_At_The_Moon Howling At The Moon] manages a few in the more recent chapters, the bigger ones starting out at the end of [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5704545/7/Howling_At_The_Moon chapter seven] with Sniper Wolf trying to lift Liquid Snake's spirits after he got pistol-whipped by Ocelot (which ends up starting their inevitable romance in the long run).

{{quote|'''Wolf:''' For future reference, Liquid, don't make horrible puns when a teammate is in danger of dying of blood loss, infection, or both at once

 

== Neon Genesis Evangelion ==

** Also, he manages to bond with his formerly distant aunt and uncle.

{{quote|''You're not my son...but I think I can love you just the same.''}}

{{quote|'''Asuka:''' So I'll make you a deal, Third Child. If you, at some point in the future, let me down utterly, completely and ''catastrophically'' like you ''think'' you might, I forgive you in advance for it... providing that you ''don't'' mope around like an idiot for the rest of your life but find a way, any way, to make it right, ''and you don't stop trying until you do.'' Fair enough?

'''Shinji:''' Asuka's mad at me. All's right with the world. }}

** There is also ND-Gendo {{spoiler|stopping his thoughts of suicide because even if he is unable to recover ND-Shinji/Yui/Rei, Canon-Shinji will still need someone to care for him}}. There is also {{spoiler|Kyoko continuing her way out of the scrappy heap by giving Canon-Asuka the one thing she wanted more than anything else}} while {{spoiler|Terrifying! Rei corrupts Canon-Rei into being more assertive while possibly activating all the clones as well}}. As if that weren't enough, {{spoiler|she also rescues End of Evangelion Shinji/Asuka from their dead world.}}

* The [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]] / [[Dragonball Z]] crossover fic [[Eva Possibilities and Fusion Pandemonium]] has a few excellent ones:

* When you're done laughing at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLGF4V-CKPA&feature=related this] [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]] [[Abridged Series]], wait for a small one at the end

{{quote|'''Shinji:''' It doesn't matter if there are copies! You're unique, like a-

'''Rei:''' 0.0... [[When She Smiles|^_^]] }}

 

{{quote|'''Luffy''': "Zoro?"

'''Zoro''': "Always." }}

{{quote|Luffy:"I wish I could see you, Nami," he whispered, his eyes closed with his face buried into her hair, "but… I'm glad that I could see you like this. Thank you, Nami, for showing it to me. And… thank you… for loving me anyway."}}

 

"You mean I'm mad, bad, and dangerous to know."

"And all that's best of dark, and bright, meet in her aspect, and her eyes," {{spoiler|Spock finishes the verse as if she hadn't spoken, and then he leans in to kiss her again}}. }}

{{quote|'''Spock:''' When I think of you, I feel something I cannot name. A desire for more. To be nearer. To be a part of more of you, to be everything that you need—but nothing similar to the physical imperatives of the Pon Farr. It is possible that that capacity is within me—along with the other baser passions we have come to master—suppressed long before puberty, before it could be acknowledged. If that is the case, I have no interest in freeing it; the violent abandon of the Pon Farr is not something I wish to explore. Of course you are free to copulate with other persons.

'''Kirk:''' I don’t want other persons.

The knee-jerk response flew out of his mouth unplanned, but it was the vehemence behind it that shocked him utterly. He heard an anger in his own voice that he had no right to feel. Anger, or was it only the protective harshness that so often covers one’s fears? }}

* Albert Green's ''[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=67732 A Thin Veneer]'' is full of so much win and awesome, from the concept to the battles, that the whole thing should be considered a CMOA, but what sticks in this troper's mind the most is the scenes between 'Deathwalker' Jha'dur and Sarek of Vulcan. {{spoiler|Jha'dur has just offerred Sarek the means to save Amanda's life and information against the Minbari at the cost of betraying everything he ever stood for. Sarek plays Jha'dur in a complicated gambit to get her to expose her information without committing. When Jha'dur realizes she's been screwed over and that Sarek admitted he never intended to go through with the deal, she says: "You lied to me!"� "Vulcans do not lie."� "We had a deal!" "I accepted no such deal. You merely fooled yourself into believing I had."� "What about Amanda?"� Jha'dur spat. "I am the only one who can save her!" Sarek shook his head. "Your drug would damn her and me for accepting it. To live at the cost of others is too high a price. It may save her life, but it would kill her soul." Jha'dur bared her teeth in a cold smile. "Remember that when she dies in your powerless arms."� "I will be thinking of nothing else."�}}

 

 

** The name of the chapter was {{spoiler|[[Aladdin (Disney film)|One Jump Ahead]], which adds a comparison to Aladdin.}}

* The ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' doujin ''Childcare is War'' involves little kid versions of Rin and Sakura summoning Archer... somehow. Rather then play the idea for comedy (which could be done) it instead plays the heartwarming part to [[Beyond the Impossible]] levels. a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] in ''every other page''

{{quote|{{spoiler|1=It is never going to happen. You are not going to turn on the kids, or me, or IRIS. You have the best heart of anyone I've ever known. I have seen you fight against being put under DomZ control...and win. You expelled their high priest from your mind and vanquished him single-handed. Jade, you are not predestined for evil. You are not a DomZ monster in human form. You are my friend, my partner, my compatriot, and I will never raise a hand against you. You will never make me have to.}} }}

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGLgpIuWqeo&sdig=1 This] ''[[I'm a Marvel And I'm a DC|I'm A Marvel...And I'm A DC]]'' video, where it turns out Harley reciprocates Gobby's feelings.

** And let's not forget Batman's encouraging words to Spider-Man.

* The entire ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' fic [http://nosilencehere.livejournal.com/7359.html Finding His Footing]. Who knew Xigbar could be so patient, especially with a Demyx who doesn't know how to stand?

* The ''[[Firefly]]'' fanfic ''[[Forward]]'' is pretty much packed with these, especially in the first story arc. One of the more potent ones is when {{spoiler|Jayne and River are being tortured by Niska, and he manages to grab her hand and hold it to keep her from breaking.}} Or pretty much any scene between them while {{spoiler|they are escaping Niska's ship, with Jayne forced to carry her on his back.}} And later on in the third arc, where Mal tries to comfort River {{spoiler|after she has a mental breakdown after killing Ott's pirates.}}

** The epilogue for "Silver" has an ''adorable'' scene between Kaylee and Simon, and also has a powerful scene where River confesses to Book what she feels was a very bad thing she did, with flashbacks to her {{spoiler|confronting one of the men who hurt her at the Academy who himself deeply regrets what he did. Ultimately, he asks for her to forgive him, and River does.}}

** The ending to "Fourth Interlude." River has basically been put through ''[[The Woobie|so much crap]]'' over the last few chapters, what with {{spoiler|the [[Mind Rape]], losing control of herself and flying into berserk frenzies, then crashing on a border planet and forced to walk across a desert on serious injuries, all the while suffering hallucinations and then getting horribly injured fighting a group of pirates}}. At the end of it all, after she passes out, River has a flashback to when Simon rescued her from the Academy, and then comes to. The reader's probably expecting something even worse for River when she wakes because, well, [[Trauma Conga Line|that's how the story's been going.]] Instead, she finds herself in a hospital, being tended to by an old doctor who she can tell is honestly concerned for her safety, and she finally lets herself relax and feel safe. After everything else she's been through recently, encountering a decent human being on the Border who isn't scared of her and just wants to help her recover is a powerful scene in its own right.

** The big hitter? Niv ends up on Tali's dad's ship, the Alerei. Which, if you've played [[Mass Effect]] 2...

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4501730/1/Directive_You Directive: You], a WALL-E fanfic. WALL-E's revival at the film's close seems to be imperfect, as he can remember some aspects of his term on the Axiom but not others. EVE - when she isn't helping the humans recolonize the Earth - takes it upon herself to restore his memory using her own databanks and revisiting various places on Earth, such as a delapidated building (which is a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] in itself). {{spoiler|She eventually discovers that his directive - which is normally the same as his designation, "Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth Class - has changed to ''her'' designation out of sheer love, and gladly reciprocates with a hug.}} * sniff* ...[[Tear Jerker|HAPPY BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH...]]

* The ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfic "Chained to the Whirlpool" averages 2 per chapter. Which is odd for a bondage fic.

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3909697/1/ This] [[National Treasure]] fic. Just all of it.

* Chacron's [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3269284/1/Heavens_Rejects Heaven's Rejects]'' becomes one long string of these in its middle segment, with military [[New Meat]] Rex Christensen being comforted by his friends and family after a ''massive'' [[Heroic BSOD]], kindly Dr. Draftwood (a [[The McCoy|McCoy]] to end all [[Mc Coys]] and a character who is a spark of true [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]] in a [[World Half Empty]]) being reunited with his long-lost wife and son, Sonic and Sally having their first child, and a beautiful [[Meaningful Funeral]] scene. However, the mood in the final third of the story becomes such a depressing [[Tear Jerker]] that it makes [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]] look upbeat.

* In the [[Daria]] fan fiction series 'Legion of Lawndale Heroes', the scene in Chapter 12:2 when for the first time, Daria doesn't just ''read'' Jane's mine, but opens her own mind up to Jane so that they share memories. Particularly heartwarming is the part where Daria tells Jane that she's closer to her than she is to her own sister, and Jane reciprocates by telling Daria that not only does she consider her family, but a part of herself. The fact that the scene's totally devoid of [[Ho Yay|Les Yay]] makes it even more touching.

* Yakko teaching Dot to walk in the The Middle Warner Sibling's Animaniacs fic, called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3703685/1/Family Family]. Then there's "Yakko" being Dot's first word. Also, when the Warners finally access their Hammerspace. There are lot of other [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|moments]], but be prepared for a lot of [[Tear Jerker]] moments to go with them, particularly in the early chapters.

* Not fan''fiction'' per se, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpy8OynMg-M this] [[Fan Vid]] to "[[Crowning Music of Awesome|How Far We've Come]]" will make any [[Ouran High School Host Club]] fan smile. (Unless, perhaps, I didn't warn them about the major end-of-series spoilers.)

* ''Appositus Obscurum'', a [[Super Mario]] fanfic by [[Ms Devin 92]], holds many CMOA, CMOF, [[Nightmare Fuel]], [[Tear Jerker]]. It also holds tons of CMOH. But this troper's favorite one is {{spoiler|O'Chunks and Nastasia's first kiss}}. Especially if you take in account the fics ''Who are thou?'' and ''Centum'' by the same author. Put together, they make a very credible and beautiful {{spoiler|evolution of her opinions and feelings towards him. She thought at first he was nothing but a stupid, incompetent klutz. ''Who are thou?'' shows her [[Warrior Poet|he's not stupid]]. Not very intelligent, but surely not a dumbass. ''Centum'', that shows some scenes of the three minions' life after the game, show she begins to have some friendship and affection to him. Finally, the events of ''Appositus Obscurum'' make her realize he's ''not'' incompetent (he just had the bad luck to fight Mario and co, who were far stronger than him), which is summed up by this thought:}}

{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Nastasia''': Being the Count's right-hand woman, I was, well, always at his right side... I guess I never had the chance to look and see O'Chunks for the strong-hearted warrior he really is...}}}}

Heather:"You're the first true friend I've ever had! It feels great!" }}

** There is also The ending of [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4992787/19/Lost_and_Found Lost and Found] It's an awesome [[Earn Your Happy Ending]] for Gwen, and Trent as well.

{{quote|"Tell me..." she started, then broke off. "Tell me... that everythin' is going t'be fine, and tha' we'll all be happy again. If you can believe it, I'll believe it too..." Tears gathered in her eyes, and slowly rolled down her cheeks. "Jus' tell me ye believe."

He took her in his arms and shushed her. "It's okay, Rahne, it's okay. Everything'll be fine, I promise."

** The scene when {{spoiler|Hakoda and Ursa are reunited after Boiling Rock. The fact that he finds out ''everything'' and accepts her unconditionally made me cry happy tears. However, Ursa's reaction to hearing about Zuko made me ''bawl''}}.

* The [[Knights of the Old Republic]] Game Mod ''Brotherhood of Shadow'' pulls some beautiful ones with a side order of [[Tear Jerker]]. Perhaps the most beautiful one was Koybayshi's [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]] against {{spoiler|Channa Mae's self-loathing}}. [[Anguished Declaration of Love]] mixed with [[Not So Different]] as he reveals that {{spoiler|he was a failed Padawan who lost his Force connection with his master's death - just like Channa Mae was}}. The sheer amount of [[The Power of Love]] is enough to {{spoiler|snap her out of the Brotherhoood's spell, and complete the last of her renunciation of the Dark Side}}.

{{quote|"Which was why it was so dangerous. Aziraphale could just as easily kicked over mailboxes and burnt down neighborhoods. He was, after all, The Enemy. But instead, every movement the angel made tasted like creme brulee or felt like a back rub or sounded like a violin concerto or spoke of other lovely things that are beyond human understanding."}}

* The ''[[Half Life]]'' [[Half-Life (series)/Fanfic Recs|fanfic]] ''Typical Moments in the Horrible Life of Gordon Freeman'', has one when {{spoiler|Alyx and Gordon’s lives are being weaved together – [http://a-mere-child.livejournal.com/9508.html from Alyx’s point of view]}}.

{{quote|{{spoiler|And now there's another presence, one so achingly familiar that she's drawing toward it before it even begins to 'speak.’ ''I love you, Alyx. More than I've ever loved anyone in my life. I can't go on without you. I don't want to go on without you. I'll do anything for you. Just come back to me. Please.'' The tendrils around her release their hold just long enough for her to draw close to him. Then they return, wrapping around and them both, taking the fibers of his being and threading them between hers. He's in her, and around her, and through her, the two of them woven into a fabric stronger than either of them could be alone. She thought she knew him before, through his speech and actions. What she called 'knowledge' before is nothing compared to this. His every thought, every memory, every secret desire and fleeting emotion--everything he is has been laid bare before her, and she before him, as they are twined together as one. She won't retain all of this when she returns to her body. She couldn't. It's too much for one vessel to hold. But they're going home, together, and that's what matters.}}}}

{{quote|{{spoiler|With three such powerful monsters, it would be easy to forget the importance of [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|heart]] in a team--if only to keep them from ripping your head off. A Zan would seem an [[Obviously Evil|odd choice]] to provide that heart. Which is why iScream was a critical element in this fusion. As a Kagura, [[Heart Is an Awesome Power|he will truly be the hero he always could be]].}}}}

** This also doubles as a [[Brick Joke]] (of a [[Meaningful Echo|less jokey variety]]), since earlier, the main character wonders if it is possible to {{spoiler|raise a strong Zan with kindness instead of cruelty.}}

{{quote|"You've certainly grown quite a bit." Lord Death spoke in a somewhat joking yet loving tone as he tucked Kid into bed before turning out the lights and letting him rest.}}

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6435562/1/I_Hear_Him_Scream I Hear Him Scream], a ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' fanfiction, has one of these when Toothless finally trusts Hiccup enough to call a truce with him. Amplified when you take in mind that ''Toothless'' was the one who turned Hiccup into a dragon and that Hiccup managed to forgive him and try several times beforehand to make amends despite being treated terribly the entire time. [[Tear Jerker|Even more amplified]] when you realize that they are touching in almost the same exact way as they did in the 'Forbidden Friendship' scene when they call the truce.

{{quote|{{spoiler|"imnotamoron."}}}}

** Wheatley confessing to Chell that {{spoiler|he loves her}} is downright touching.

** At one point in the fic, Wheatley goes to see ''2001ASpaceOdyssey'' with Chell and the roomates. However, seeing the scene with HAL causes Wheatley to {{spoiler|leave the theater where Chell finds him sobbing in a bathroom and tells her that he saw himself when he watched HAL and how it reminded him of how evil he was back when he took over Aperture}}. Chell's reaction? {{spoiler|She hugs him and lets him cry on her shoulder.}}

* The [[Iron Man]] movieverse fanfic, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6639148/1/20_Questions 20 Questions]. As the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|title]] suggests, Tony convinces Pepper to play 20 questions with him (although he only asks fifteen). His questions are mostly silly and humorous, until he gets to the final one. What does he ask? {{spoiler|Will you marry me?}}

* Chapter 25 of [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6953451/25 Soul Chess] has Byakuya going for a walk with Hisana and watches the sunset with her. Afterwards, he asks her to marry him.

** Also the beginning chapter, how [[Code Geass|Lelouch]] sees parallels in young!Matsumoto's behavior with Nunally, and his [[Big Brother Instinct]] naturally kicks in, such as letting her sleep with him after having a nightmare.

* ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' story, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6225884/1/Know_You_Better Know You Better] has Shiki telling her best friend, Eri, of the Reaper's Game. Luckily for her, she ''believes'' her.
