History YouAreNotAlone / FanWorks

* In ''Fanfic/TheBridge'', [[AntiHero Xenilla]] gets some strong mental trauma after fighting King Sombra and being subjected to his greatest fear, [[spoiler: losing his little brother]]. It [[BreakTheHaughty breaks]] his typically stoic smugness and he locks himself in his chamber. After loyally waiting outside his door to get him to come out, Blade Dancer finally has enough and breaks in to find Xenilla disheveled and broken down. Despite his attempt to scare her off and pitiful following requests to be left alone, she refuses to leave and sticks by him the entire time. Her presence finally helps him get a grip and recover.

--->'''Asuka''': "Well... yeah. I did [hate you]. But it's a lot harder to blame you for acting that way now that I know you're drugged like this. That's why I reacted so strongly... my step-mother tried something like that with pills when I was younger. I know what it's like. It's not like I think you would kill yourself or something just because Commander Ikari ordered you to or such."\\

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': While Harry is reminded of this a couple of times, in chapter 60 of the sequel, after he has suffered a ''horrible'' PastExperienceNightmare of [[spoiler:being raped by Belova as the Red Son]], inspiring an OutDamnedSpot reaction, Jean and [[spoiler: Maddie]] reach out to almost everyone who knows him, no matter how passing their acquaintance, and ask for their help to prove this. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments They do, without hesitation]].

* In ''Fanfic/FateZeroSanity'', [[spoiler:[[Manga/{{SoulEater}} Berserker and Soul]]]] give this to [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask Saber]] after Rider's WhatTheHellHero at the Servant banquet, telling her that they will stand by her no matter what and that they would have no one else as their partner. This, along with YouAreNotAlone, convinces [[BrokenBird Saber]] to truly accept them as friends and allies, which continues on for the remainder of the War.

* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': For a man who prefers solitude, [[TheHermit Kyril]] notably [[InvertedTrope inverts]] this trope, painting a more nuanced take of the "loner" archetype: rather than having someone say to him that he is not alone, it is Kyril ''himself'' who says to someone that he is not alone.

-->'''Asuka''': ''(with [[WhenSheSmiles a genuine smile on her face]])'' You…you ''know''. You're cute, you like me, you're a ''fantastic'' kisser, and ''you understand what it's like! ''(hugs Shinji)'' You are mine, Third Child!

** In chapter 4 Asuka declares this triumphantly to Rei
--->'''Asuka''':''"Well... yeah. I did. But it's a lot harder to blame you for acting that way now that I know you're drugged like this. That's why I reacted so strongly... my step-mother tried something like that with pills when I was younger. I know what it's like. It's not like I think you would kill yourself or something just because Commander Ikari ordered you to or such."''\\
'''Rei''': If I was ordered to do so, I would.\\
'''Asuka''': What?! Are you crazy? Why? \\
'''Rei''': He has raised me for years. He cares for me. If he gave that order, I would trust he had a necessary reason for it. [...] ...He is all I have. \\
'''Asuka''': Jesus fuck, Wondergirl! Don't ever do that! Kill yourself just because you were told to?! I mean… Gott! Never! We're soldiers, yeah, and we could die anytime, but never just on someone's say-so! Make it for a reason worth it! Look at baka-Shinji! He didn't jump into a volcano because someone ordered him to! He did it against orders, because he thought I was worth risking his life for!" 'And don't you ever risk yourself like that again, you stupid, brave idiot of mine. I love you so Gottdamn much. My damn martyr baka-Shinji…' "He'd do the same for you, just like he said, and... and so would I! Commander Ikari's not 'all you have'! You're not alone! You, and me, and Shinji, we all look out for each other because there's no one else who can in a battle!
** Later in that chapter Asuka tells Shinji she is not alone anymore thanks to him:
--->'''Asuka''': Would you want to be like Wondergirl? If your father had raised you, you might have ended up like her: a drugged robot ready to die when he orders you to. I... If you had acted like that, if you'd been raised that way, do you think Misato would have taken you in, that you'd be living here, that we'd... be together? If you acted like her, I'd never have kissed you, and we wouldn't be lying in bed like this right now." She pulled his head down to hers for a kiss. "I like you the way you are, my baka. You're just like me. You can understand me and my pains because you suffered them too. I'm glad you're here and the man you are, Shinji. I was as alone as you, before. And if you weren't here, I still would be.

'''Kyril:''' Not really. I have [[TheApprentice apprentices]], and a [[UndyingLoyalty wonderful]] [[TheConfidant friend]] [[LivingEmotionalCrutch who keeps me from going insane]]. As for my reputation as a knight... [[ReputationApathy I don't care]].
