Only the pothole reveals that it's not from the work itself. I'd say cut.

Also, that's not the right formatting for an example quote, even without the AC.

My thought is that quotes such as this should come from the work itself. Auto-erotic troping is fine in a some instances, most notably adding tropes found in one’s work on the appropriate trope page, but this seems like pushing it.

I don't know if it was added by a creator of the fanwork though.

Yeah, I think it's better to delete them, because it feels like an unnecessary shoehorn

Don't see how Auto-erotic troping is relevant. Regardless, quotes need to come from the work so cut this.

Please cut instances of things happening in work B getting troped on work A.
