Hmmm, I have to say that in my view, "reveling in" and "looking deeply into" emotional pain are not at all the same thing. One would take joy in/gloat over the characters' pain, the other would allow the reader to experience the pain and possibly gain new insights into the characters from it. I will check the links you offered, though.
It looks like the only other fandom we have in common is Loveless, and I haven't ended up reading a lot of fic in that fandom, so I can't give you examples. I should look at the Loveless fic on AO3 - there's a lot more there now than there used to be last time I checked.
(As for how this ended up on anime_manga: a couple of my circle here are big DW boosters who are trying to get more manga/anime community going here, so I'm guessing one of them passed on the link. It's not a problem, but I'm used to getting comments mostly from people who know me and know what type of manga and other reading I like.)
