Entry tags:
Dear Hurt/Comfort Exchange Writer
Hi, thanks for writing for me! I hope this letter is useful. I feel like most of the tags I've requested work as prompts in themselves, so I've organised them into groups based on potential scenarios.
Likes: Emotional hurt/comfort, physical hurt/comfort, sickfic, vomiting (for physical or emotional reasons), focus on comfort, humour, fluff, friendship, family relationships, romance, first time, established relationship, friends-to-lovers, happy endings, angst with a happy ending, gay/bi characters, gay/bi headcanons, friendships between gay/bi men and gay/bi women, reunions, mission/case fic, episode tags/missing scenes, worldbuilding, science, aliens, characters being smart and/or showing off their skills, characters who trust each other completely (and show it), loyalty, huddling for warmth, bed sharing, trapped in a lift or other small space together, recovery from injury/trauma, cuddling, kissing, kisses on the forehead or top of head, touching someone's forehead to check for a fever, handholding, hair brushing and stroking, characters lying with their head in the other's lap, sick/hurt characters falling asleep on their partner, characters cooking for each other and/or comforting each other with food, stargazing, shore leave, holiday fic, domestic fluff, post-canon fic, canon-divergent AUs and fix-it fic, telepathy/empathy, cultural differences, time travel and alternate universes
Dislikes/DNWs: Unrequested rape or sexual abuse, major character death, hurt without comfort, poly/open relationships/infidelity, unrequested non-canon pairings, break up of requested pairings, jealousy/possessiveness, asexual/aromantic/nonbinary headcanons, unrequested permanent injury, graphic descriptions of bodily fluids, burping, spoon feeding, graphic violence and gore, bleak/hopeless endings, real-world politics/current events, crossovers or setting AUs, first and second POV, explicit sex (M-rated is fine)
Fandoms
Stargate SG-1
Sam/Janet (hurt Sam), Sam/Janet (hurt Janet)
A & B have to cancel planned date because A's ill/injured; B comforts and makes evening romantic, Big Damn Rescue (with comfort), Character B nurses Character A during their convalescence, Character is hurt protecting/helping others, Characters live together while one recovers from car crash or other accident, Characters live together while one recovers from hurt, Comfort after a mission gone sideways, Comforter is surprised & in awe that hurt/sick character trusts them this much, Comforter stunned by how much comfortee trusts them, Comforting/distracting character while they receive medical attention, A conceals illness/injury for a date with B they really want; B finds out, Cooking food to comfort but it doesn’t go well, First kiss after almost dying, Flu, Fluff and Hurt/Comfort, Food Poisoning, Huddling For Warmth, Lazy morning - A wakes up ill and is cared for/comforted by B, Nearly losing someone reveals deeper feelings, secret relationship revealed when one character is badly hurt, Sickfic, stomach flu, Taking care of hurt friend(s) leads to realization of romantic feelings, Time Travel - Character changes the past to prevent traumatic events and succeeds, Time Travel Fix it - lingering trauma of things that haven't happened in new timeline, Waking from coma or deep sleep and realizing the beloved caretaker is near, waking up sick
I love Sam, and her relationship with Janet is one of my favourites. I could easily see their friendship leading to more, and I really like how they support each other in canon, and how Sam's kind of like a second mother to Cassandra. I also love how they interact with the rest of SG-1, so feel free to include them if you'd like. (Background Jack/Daniel is also fine, but please no mentions of Sam/Jack.)
I don't mind which one of them is the hurt one (could be on a mission or just random bad luck) and canon or noncanon illness/injury are both fine.
Fandom specific note: Mentions of period-typical homophobia (e.g. DADT) are fine as long as it's not the focus.

Pike/Ash (hurt Ash), Pike/Ash (hurt Pike), Pike & Number One & Ash (hurt Pike), Pike & Number One (hurt Pike)
Pike/Ash
I really like this pairing, and always want more fic for it. I love how Pike is such a genuinely good person, and how Ash is clearly damaged but still trying to do the right thing, even if he isn't always sure what that is. I also really love how the catalyst for them going from disliking and distrusting each other to basically friends is fighting a robotic squid from the future, and the potential bond formed by them being two of the only people left behind at the end. I'd love something set after Season 2 with Pike back on the Enterprise and Ash working on rebuilding Section 31, but almost anything about them would make me happy.
Hurt Ash
Character has nightmare about their trauma, Character receives support when their painful past is unexpectedly revealed, Character with PTSD from medical-related trauma is hospitalised, Character's Past Trauma Is Revealed Against Their Will, comfort after a nightmare, Comforting/distracting character while they receive medical attention, Dehumanization - Victim Considered Less Than Human Because of Who/What They Are, Dehumanized and Abused Character is Shown Genuine Love and Affection, Experimented on by evil scientists, Nightmares, Nightmares that are memories, Non-Consensual Body Modification, Panic Attacks, Past Rape Accidental Reveal - Consensual Sex Causes Flashbacks To Previous Rape, Past Rape/Non-con, Past trauma triggered by dream, PTSD - From past sexual assault, PTSD - PTSD Episode/Flashback, PTSD - Trauma triggered during sex, A says something that accidentally hurts B, Staying Up Together after a Nightmare, Third Party Casually Reveals Serious Hurt in Character A's Past to Character B, Waking up from nightmares while sharing a bed
Ash has been through a lot, and I'd love to see Pike finding out and offering comfort. (And Ash letting him, and maybe being shocked that Pike is being so kind because he thinks he doesn't deserve it.)
For the past rape type tags, I was thinking of the situation with L'Rell, but if you want to have it be Lorca being a manipulative bastard I'd be down for that too. Also I'd be shocked if he didn't have some kind of medical-related trauma given that his onscreen experiences involving sickbay are basically 1) everything to do with Voq (including being mind controlled into murdering someone) and 2) nearly dying after being attacked by a murderous AI.
Hurt Pike
Character is hurt protecting/helping others, Comfort after a mission gone sideways, Comforter stunned by how much comfortee trusts them, Hurt in the wilderness, Inexperienced comforter does their awkward best, Stranded in the wilderness, Stranded on alien planet
Pike gets injured doing something brave (possibly while they're stranded and far from help), Ash worries and tries to offer comfort.
adapting to permanent injury, aftermath of near death experience, Big Damn Rescue (with comfort), Characters live together while one recovers from car crash or other accident, Characters live together while one recovers from hurt, Coming To Terms With Life Changing Permanent Injury, First kiss after almost dying, Formerly active character learns to cope with new disability, Injury Recovery, Mutual pining during slow recovery from near-fatal injury, Nearly losing someone reveals deeper feelings, Permanent Injury, Slow Burn - Soulbonding is the only way for A to save seriously injured B's life, Slow recovery from life changing injury, Soulbonding is the only way for A to save severely injured B's life, Time Travel - Character changes the past to prevent traumatic events and succeeds, Time Travel Fix it - lingering trauma of things that haven't happened in new timeline, Unexpected recovery from injury believed to be fatal
This one's my fix-it request. I don't care how you do it, but I want Pike's fate fixed. AU where he recovers/his injuries aren't quite as bad? Section 31 stepping in to help? Secret mission to rescue him from Talos? Time travel? Or if you want to just handwave the actual saving bit and focus on the aftermath that'd be fine too. I'd especially love a focus on his recovery (and Ash's role in it), and I'm more than fine with him still being injured/disabled/scarred, just as long as he can still move and communicate and have a relatively normal life. (And isn't spending the rest of his life on Talos, because screw that.)
I'd also love to see Pike grappling with no longer knowing his future - either because it already happened or Ash stopped it somehow - and trying to figure out what that means and/or how to deal with it. (And also realising that he has to stop throwing himself into danger because he no longer has the certainty of knowing he'll survive it.)
Either hurt
A & B have to cancel planned date because A's ill/injured; B comforts and makes evening romantic, Comforting character while/after they vomit, Common Cold, A conceals illness/injury for a date with B they really want; B finds out, Flu, Fluff and Hurt/Comfort, Food Poisoning, Huddling For Warmth, Lazy morning - A wakes up ill and is cared for/comforted by B, Nausea, Seasickness, Sickfic, stomach flu, Vomiting, waking up sick
They finally get some time together without work getting in the way, only for one of them to get ill/injured and have to adjust their plans. I'm fine with either of them being the hurt one, I just want to see one of them taking care of the other and trying to make them feel better.
Pike & Number One & Ash (hurt Pike)
I like the idea of the three of them bonding over the loss of Discovery and the resulting cover up. I also really like the idea of Number One and Ash each caring a lot about Pike and coming to care about each other as well. Gen/friendship fic would be great, but if you feel like throwing in some Pike/Ash in the background please feel free.
A and B have to work together to help injured mutual loved one C, A and B risk safety/health to help C, Bedside Vigils, Big Damn Rescue (with comfort), Character is hurt protecting/helping others, Characters A and B tag-team comforting hurt C, Two people grow closer while taking care of a third, waiting to see if someone both characters love recovers from serious illness/injury
Pike gets hurt and Ash and Number One have to work together to help him. I'd especially love a fix-it for Pike's injuries in The Menagerie, but a more minor injury is fine too.
Hurt in the wilderness, Stranded in the wilderness, Stranded on alien planet, Trapped Together While One Is Injured
Ash teams up with Pike and Number One for a mission, except something goes wrong. (And Pike gets hurt, because of course he does.)
Pike & Number One (hurt Pike)
Captured/imprisoned together, Character is hurt protecting/helping others, Comfort after a mission gone sideways, Hurt in the wilderness, Inexperienced comforter does their awkward best, Must survive in captivity until people realize they're missing and locate them, Refusing to Leave Hurt Character's Side, stranded in hostile environment with injury, Stranded in the wilderness, Stranded on alien planet, trapped in an isolated place together, Trapped Together While One Is Injured, Vomiting
I really like the idea of them having a really close, supportive, but totally platonic relationship. (Totally fine with it being way more intense than a "normal" friendship, though! I also love the idea of it being platonic because they're both gay, but feel free to ignore that if you want.) I'd love to see them working together seamlessly to survive or escape, and/or Number One offering awkward comfort to a hurt/ill Pike.
Fandom specific DNWs: References to Pike's fate in TOS (or his knowledge of same) unless you're writing a fix-it, the Star Trek future being sexist/homophobic/racist/ableist, Pike/Vina as anything more than a brief mention.

Star Trek TOS
Kirk/Spock (hurt Spock)
Character verbally defends someone who isn’t standing up for themself, Difficult Relationship With A Parental Figure, Parental figure is indifferent to injury or hurt, Parental Issues, Past Abuse, Third Party Casually Reveals Serious Hurt in Character A's Past to Character B, Unresolved childhood trauma catches up to adult character, Unresolved childhood trauma catches up to adult character when x finds about it, Unsupportive Parents/Family
I love how supportive Kirk is of Spock, and how devoted they are to each other. I also like how he's one of the few people in Spock's life who doesn't expect him to be more human or more Vulcan or anything other than what he is, and how much Spock clearly needs and appreciates that.
Spock canonically had a pretty terrible childhood, and Sarek and Amanda didn't exactly make it better, so I'd love a fic where Kirk finds out and is comforting and supportive (especially if it involves him sticking up for Spock against bullies/relatives/random Vulcans/whoever).
Fandom specific DNWs: The Star Trek future being sexist/homophobic/racist/ableist (Vulcan society being homophobic is okay), Vulcan body temperature being lower than human, Kirk knowing about Michael (it's fine if Spock thinks about her, but I'd prefer it to stay a secret), Kirk having a bad relationship with his family.
Thanks again!
