Emotional Hurt/Comfort Recs

[doranwen]

This list of recs was created on request for a friend, who wanted hurt/comfort fics. All themes in the fics are listed below fics so it is highly spoilery. If you don't want to be spoiled, leave a comment on my master recs post to ask for a list to be made without the themes.

Guide to icons used:
Fics I tagged as favorites:
Fics I thought were exceptionally well-written:
WIPs:
(Icons come from the Icon pack by Icons8.)

As always with my db-generated lists, ratings are all converted to a single system for convenience:
Fanfiction.net - G through R
AO3 - PG through X (though the occasional child-friendly fic I mark G)
anything without a rating (AO3 or other site) - Unrated


This list contains all themes for each fic. Themes in my database cover everything from grammatical things like tense & person (I mark for present tense, first person, second person, and direct address), to format (poetry, songfic, 5+1, etc.), trope (fake couple, stranded together, etc.), general feel (angst, fluff, etc.), fic ending (positive, sad/unhappy, mixed/ambivalent, etc.), and warnings (major character death, non-con, violence/wounds, etc.). Please note that while some fic ending tags have been added, most fics in the list have not been tagged for fic ending yet.

Every fic on this list has the theme "hurt/comfort (emotional)" in it.

This list was created with the theme of "incest" excluded.


I listed any ships I thought were major below each fic. If there are any minor/background ships you want to avoid, please leave a comment and ask for a list to be made for you. Note that ships may refer to one-sided or unrequited ones as well as to requited/mutual.


An important note: Due to my general state of busyness, I have not been able to keep up with most of the fandoms already in the database, and have many fics and fic updates to enter. Therefore, some fics which are listed as WIPs may actually be complete, and some more recent fics are missing which will end up in the database at some point.

Already it's got Big, Hard Character A working with Small, Stoic Character B - But A also has a soft side around B and B has so much rage inside they can fly off the handle at any moment and that's terrifying. So join me as I rewatch one of my favourite series and trope it up, or just add on to my favourite scenes here and there.

He hadn't been able to sleep in days, and usually cuddling with Hana helped but for whatever reason, it didn't work tonight. "Couldn't sleep."
