Sunshine Challenge Day 2

Prompt 2: Rose Quartz
Soft pink in color, Rose Quartz has been a popular stone since as far back as 800-600 BCE. Today, as in the past, it’s most associated with love, compassion, and healing in all its forms both towards oneself and others. In the Greek myths it’s mentioned at least twice: once where Eros is said to have brought it to man to inspire love, and again in the story of Aphrodite and Adonis where it came to represent love triumphant. It’s a stone of beauty and sentiment and will likely be favored for years to come.

First off, because Our Flag Means Death is constantly on my mind lately, enjoy this great fanvid set to Lil Nas X's version of Jolene:

Watch on YouTube

Secondly, I don't why, but I read the prompt and my first thought was "ah yes hurt/comfort", brains are weird sometimes. Anyways, here are some hurt/comfort recs for your enjoyment:

Luck of the Devil by ItsClydeBitches
Word Count: 6380 words
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Ed/Izzy/Stede
Summary: I'm dying, Izzy thought with sudden, brutal clarity. Right on the heels of that came: Finally.
And then: Edward.
Reccer's note: Izzy drowns and almost dies.  Izzy gets whumped quite a bit in this one, but he has his captains to look after him.

And We Do It All Again by memoeries_are_all_we_have
Word Count: 10802 words
Fandom: Star Trek TOS
Rating: T
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Kirk/Spock/McCoy
Summary: Jim has two big problems right now. The first is that he is hopelessly in love with his First Officer and his Chief Medical Officer, and neither seems to return his feelings. The second is that he's stuck in a time loop where his ship is destroyed and his crew killed, over and over again.
Things can never be simple for James T. Kirk, can they?
Reccer's note: A Classic sci-fi premise, with poor Jim Kirk stuck in a time loop by himself where he keeps trying to save the Enterprise from destruction. This fic is so good, but also heart-breaking at times.  It is very focused on Kirk's relationship with Spock and McCoy, and just when it seems that maybe the triad are going to be able to figure things out Kirk has to go through it all again.  (Warning: there is a suicide attempt in the story) 

Last Day on Earth by candle_beck
Word Count: 10802 words
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Dean/Sam
Summary: A list of things to do if you only have one day to live, presented in inconvenient non-list form.
Reccer's note: Sam comes in contact with something that should kill him within 24 hours.  This is a classic in SPN fandom for a reason.  The writer captures Dean's POV and his feelings about Sam so beautifully, and Sam's heartbreaking acceptance of his fate and him trying to experience the things he loves on his last day is so Sam.

Blameless by PetrichorPerfume
Word Count: 147 words
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: G
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Michael/Adam
Summary: Adam doesn’t blame Dean for leaving him at Michael’s mercy. He doesn’t blame Michael for ripping him from Paradise or for trapping him in the deepest, darkest part of Hell for the rest of eternity. He doesn’t blame Sam for escaping, or Death for leaving him behind. He doesn’t even blame Lucifer for trying to start the Apocalypse.
Reccer's note: Do you want a tiny little fic about Adam in the cage that will hit you in the feels then walk away? Then here you go.

Against the Bitter Cold by EdosianOrchids901
Word Count: 1318 words
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: A pointless temptation assignment leaves Crowley stranded in the middle of a snowstorm. By the time he stumbles back to the inn, he’s so cold and disoriented that he can’t even remember why he was outside. Aziraphale is ready to lend a helping hand.
Reccer's note: In my humble opinion EdosianOrchids901 is one of the best hurt/comfort authors for this pairing.  In this one Crowley gets trapped in the cold, which is not good for a being that is part snake.  Crowley is very disoriented and confused in this, and Aziraphale cares for him.
