Hurt Comfort Exchange 2022 Letter

Fri, 04 Mar 2022 06:45:54 GMT

Hello author!

Thanks for coming to look at my letter! I've included my general likes and dislikes here, as well as the freeform tags and details for each request that were included in my AO3 sign-up (if you find them more readable in this format).

My AO3 is autumnstwilight(sewohayami), feel free to look at my existing fics and bookmarks for relevant pairings.

General DNWs:

Noncon (for the purposes of this letter, I'm going to define it as at least one character depicted as not enjoying or wanting sex that happens. Crying, hurt, afraid, explicitly not consenting, etc. Situations in which consent is ambiguous or questionable but both characters are depicted as turned-on and enjoying it are OK.)
Unrequested non-canon pairings
Major characters sustaining a permanent injury involving the removal or destruction of body parts (Temporary injury OK, background characters OK, canon injuries OK.)*
Guro, woundfucking, genital injury
Extreme underage (preteen characters)
Any details about urination, defecation or vomiting or the resulting output (brief mentions OK)
A/B/O, mpreg, pregnancy related kink or horror
Feminization kink, crossdressing, lingerie on male characters

*Examples: Character has fingers severed, character's eyes are gouged out, internal organs no longer internal, etc. However, most of my canons have some kind of magical healing or regeneration, so if the character is plausibly healed by the end of the story, it's okay. That said, I'd like to express a general preference for fantasy violence and magical body horror over gore.

General likes:

Getting together
Canon compliance, missing scenes
Canon divergence, what if
Worldbuilding, playing with existing magic system and lore, politics
Aesthetically pleasing violence (bleeding, stabbing, scars) with downplaying of actual gore or unglamorous medical consequences. Physical strain such as fainting, coughing up blood, etc.
Magical injuries and scarring. Surreal and fantasy body horror (e.g. growing flowers from body, turning to crystal).
Magic bonds and rituals, magic at a price, blood magic, cast from lifespan, etc
Normally stoic character becomes very dangerous when loved one is in danger
Gods, divinity, incarnations of divinity, a sort of religious awe and horror toward immense and overwhelming powers.
Moral dilemmas, moral compromise, morally grey characters
Open and/or bittersweet endings

NSFW Likes

Porn with feelings, banter and character interactions during sex, imperfect sex
Rough sex, pinning partner down or manhandling them, picking them up and moving them around
Clothed sex, non-penetrative sex (frot, intercrural), blowjobs/facefucking, masturbation (mutual or solo)
Light D/s, bondage and/or painplay, sensation play
Come being quickly swallowed or cleaned up and then not mentioned again
Dubcon of the "they both want it and enjoy it but can't give a proper 'yes' because of circumstances" variety. Seduction or persuasion of the more restrained partner.

Request #1

Noctis Lucis Caelum & Ignis Scientia (hurt Ignis)

Noctis Lucis Caelum/Ignis Scientia (hurt Ignis)

Noctis Lucis Caelum/Ignis Scientia (both hurt)

Noctis Lucis Caelum & Ignis Scientia (both hurt)

Lunafreya Nox Fleuret/Noctis Lucis Caelum/Ignis Scientia (hurt Ignis)

Pretending to Betray Someone to Save them
Can't Save Other Character's Life
Character A attempts to sacrifice themself for B; B gets very upset
Character A thinks they're about to die and voices their feelings for B; but oops A survives
Character A's loyalty is used to hurt A; Character B feels terrible
Character comes back from the dead
Character Planned to Die but Didn’t
Character(s) ashamed of their sexual desires
Doing Bad Things So Others Don't Have To
Dub/noncon - Sex Pollen
dubcon required for magical ritual
Ghost comforting living character
guilty over pseudo-incestuous attraction
Internalized Homophobia
Loyal character loses object of their devotion; doesn't know what to do with their life now
Magical Corruption
magical source of chronic pain
Protectiveness - Character A still tries to protect Character B despite A being injured
Protectiveness - Normally Gentle Character A Gets Scarily Protective When B Is Hurt
Seeing character hurting prompts unexpected feelings

I'm interested in many variations of Ignoct, from platonic/brotherly devotion, through one-sided Ignis > Noctis pining through to requited Ignis/Noctis. Using this relationship to hurt Ignis is A+, whether he's throwing himself into danger, doing bad things to keep Noctis's hands clean, missing Noctis in WoR/after his death, or consumed by guilt over being attracted to his "brother"/divine king and savior/from internalized homophobia. Ignis having obsessive/possessive tendencies toward Noct and/or channeling inappropriate desires into his duties/into violence is also good.

To be clear, I am fine with both unrequited love and major character death, if that's the kind of hurt you want to dish out :D

I also ship Luna/Noctis/Ignis with all three attracted to each other, though V-shaped Luna/Noctis & Noctis/Ignis is also cool. I enjoy when Luna actively works to bring Ignis into the relationship.

Risky and Morally Dubious Actions- I'm interested in the possibility that Ignis might do something violent, morally-dubious or risky for Noctis's sake, or the fallout of either of them being injured. I love characters losing it when their loved one is threatened. Basically I'm here for Ignis being overinvested in Noct and going through hell for it.

This includes being injured defending Noct, compromising his morals for Noct's sake, getting revenge on Noct's behalf, betrayal for the greater good, messing with forbidden/dark knowledge and powers with resulting bad consequences for himself (or for Noctis)...

Physical Injury- I like action movie-style injuries where characters get battered, bruised and bloody, but with limited gore. Feel free to make things like gunshots and stab wounds less debilitating or fatal than they would be IRL (but still painful!) Coughing up blood and staggering around is also good. I also like fantasy body horror like turning to crystal or growing flowers from one's body

Forced Intimacy and Dubcon- I'm interested in a scenario where Ignis has to be magically bonded to Noctis, with this giving a limited amount of shared emotions/sensations/thoughts, particularly if there is ritual dubcon involved and they grow up knowing it eventually has to happen. (In which case I'd like them to have neutral-to-positive feelings about the actual sex).

Other- I'm interested in Ignis having some kind of religious awe or devotion toward Noct (or toward the mythical ideal of the "Chosen King"), particularly as he sees Noct's powers grow, gods being summoned, etc.

Clarification of DNWs: References to Ignis's eye injuries are OK. References to Luna and Noctis's engagement are OK.

Request #2
Link/Zelda (OOT) (hurt Link)
Link/Zelda (OOT) (both hurt)

Character A attempts to sacrifice themself for B; B gets very upset
Character A comes to B's rescue then passes out due to sustained injuries/exhaustion once B is safe
hurt character has been pining for the other one
Mistakenly Believes the Other is Dead
Protectiveness - Character A still tries to protect Character B despite A being injured

I have been shipping this one for a long time and am a sucker for tried-and-true hurt/comfort scenarios. Physically whumping Link via battle is very welcome, as is wound treatment as comfort. I also enjoy reincarnation romance if you want to play with the Zelda timeline/other games a bit.

I would prefer not to receive explicit/NSFW works for this fandom.

For art I enjoy anime style, though it doesn't necessarily have to be the OoT official art style. I also enjoy the art styles of other Zelda games such as BotW and Akira Himekawa's LoZ manga. I am not particularly into realistic renderings of these characters and generally don't enjoy Western cartoon or comic art styles.
