They haven’t really exchanged names. He’s Hawkeye and making a name for himself as a vigilante stopping robberies and underground lowlifes. She figures out quickly that is because he grew up among them and knows how and where they operate. She is… without a name. Nothing feels right to give him because whatever this is when they brush into each other, it’s genuine, and nothing about Natasha or Natalia or the Black Widow is genuine.

After the Combaticon's second attempt to overthrow the Decepticon leadership, Megatron had Shockwave insert a "Loyalty program" into their code to insure their continued obedience.

I read this a long time ago so I'm fuzzy on the details.
Basically, Draco decides he needs Harry to accept him so that he can defect from Voldemort's side. He brews a potion that forces Harry to rape him and then plays the victim. And of course it all works out.

The disciple in front of him points behind him and says "Sect leader he..." but Jiang Cheng dismisses him angrily.

For a moment, he felt it, resentment coiling in his gut.
He feels so done.
At eighteen, Wei Wuxian realized, he's done."What does Yu-furen want me to do?"
"I want you gone from our lives! Away! Somewhere I cannot see you!""From this day forth, I, Wei Wuxian is renouncing my title as the Head Disciple of Yunmeng-Jiang."
In which after they were saved from the Xuanwu Cave, Wei Wuxian was punished by Yu Ziyuan and he has decided that he had enough. Wei Wuxian defected from Yunmeng-Jiang Sect. He left and he did not look back.
AND
“Ah, the rabbits.”
“You saw them? I wanted to bring some but I figured that Lan Zhan could use some friends.”“You said the rabbits have ribbons?”
“Yes they do, but they didn’t have it when I returned. I think it vanished with Ancestor Lan Yi’s spirit.”
Lan Xichen’s brows furrowed. Why does he feel like he missed something?And in which Lan Xichen realized that something more happened in the Cold Pond Cave.
Or a story where Wei Wuxian defected from Yunmeng-Jiang Sect before the attack and what happened to him and everyone else after that.

Summary
“Where would you even go once you left? Wait a few more years before leaving." persuaded Jiang Fengmian,
“Will I live to see that long?” Wei Wuxian whispered under his breath.
Jiang Fengmian felt cold at those words. He always thought his children would be the ones to heal the scars left by their mother on Wei Wuxian, but just the concise way he spoke about them, he knows that wasn’t true. Now his best friend’s son sat in front of him, confessing to not thinking he will live to see himself become a man. Cangse and Changze must be furious in their graves as the sweet smiling son they raised endured pain because of a jealous woman and a cowardly man. Sighing, he did the only thing he could to make things right and accepted the boy’s wishes.
At age 14, Wei Wuxian left Lotus Pier and never looked back.
Wei Wuxian leaves Lotus Pier and while things change something’s are just set in fate.

Summary
"Please." His voice fractured around the word, the cracks reaching all the way to Rey's heart.
He had begged. He had actually begged, even though his lips had trembled to speak the word, disgusted as he was desperate. He had begged her to stay. She took a deep breath, willing the roiling waves in her stomach to cease. She reached for the Balance, falteringly but with purpose. It steadied her.
"No." The word fell trembling from her lips.
His face crumpled. And for the briefest second, Rey was sure that peeking out from beneath the scarred face and the tousled hair matted with sweat and blood, and the heap of black clothing was the shattered husk of Ben Solo… betrayed, and confused, and denied yet again. The cracks that had rent through her heart when he'd begged threatened to open into fissures of grief and guilt, but she held her ground.
"No." she repeated, more gently and assuredly this time as she took a tiny step towards him. "No. No, this time you join me."
