Challenge #11

In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme.

I looked back at previous years and I have mentioned this before, but Hurt/Comfort is still my favourite trope!  I especially love it when the character who is usually the caretaker gets taken care of.  Aziraphale rescuing Crowley? Yes please!  Holmes having to take of care Watson?  I eat that with a spoon!  Kirk or Spock caring for a weak and fevered Bones?  Now we're talking!  Someone wrapping up poor, battered Izzy and feeding him soup?  Give it to me now! 

I can also read whump, but I think what I love about the trope the most is the comfort bit, which isn't always guaranteed in whump.  I need a good bit of comfort at the end to make it all better.

Hurt/comfort <3 I adore this trope too! I completely agree that there is something just so good when one character, who is usually the caretaker, is the one being taken care of.

It's so delicious, isn't it!

Hurt/comfort, yesss. I didn't put it on my own list but I've been obsessed with it since I was a kid.

[kingstoken]

It's so good!

H/C is my first and forever fanfic love! :D And yes, the comfort must be proportionate.

[kingstoken]

The comfort is very important!

Só consigo ler h/c se houver comfort, porque o que já achei de fic marcada h/c e só tinha hurt e finais tristes não tá na lista pra contar.

Yes, it must have the comfort, or it is not me either.
