* In ''Fanfic/BlackbirdArrow'': After [[spoiler:everyone returns from Nanda Parbat]], Moira pulls Laurel into a hug. She muses that Laurel is stiff in her arms, before one arm "mechanically" rises to somewhat return the hug. She then wonders how long its been since Laurel's had this kind of contact.
* In ''Fanfic/VigilantesDawn'', both Sara and Quentin pull Laurel into a hug when she first gets home. Sara notes Laurel returns the hugs in an "awkward almost unsure motion". Quentin hugs her again before leaving to speak with the doctor, and Sara again sees that Laurel seems to be "going through the motions", like she can't quite remember how to hug people.
