Hurt/comfort exchange letter
Dear gifter!
I very much look forward to whatever you come up with :)
General stuff: (WIP)
Things I like:
- emotional h/c. Physical injuries, general exhaustion etc. are good too, but I really love some good angst.
- especially in connection with loyalty-related tropes. Loyalty to a partner, a liege, a concept, loyalty conflicts, betrayal (real or perceived) and atonement, mmmh.
- Sacrifice and self-sacrifice are also excellent tropes.
- competent characters, plot/worldbuilding, happy (or at least optimistic) endings, hugs…
Request 1:
Fandom: DSMP
Relationships: Philza & Technoblade (Hurt Techno), Philza & Technoblade (Hurt Philza), Philza & Technoblade (Both Hurt)
Medium: Fanfiction
Freeform tags: Escaping from captivity/torture together, Held Captive in Cage, Time Travel - Meeting younger version of loved one and finding them in a bad state, character A is in a time loop and character B tries to help, Aftermath - immortal character lost people they loved, Immortal character fears losing only immortal companion, Aftermath of Resurrection, Character A's loyalty to B is used to hurt A, Character looks okay...except to those who know them well, Character(s) with strong powers being used as literal/metaphorical weapons, accepting injury to protect someone
I love Emduo a lot. I love them as immortal best friends who've known each other for centuries, and also when they meet for the first time and something just clicks. I'd love something set during or pre-DSMP canon, canon-divergence is also great; if you prefer to write an AU I'd prefer something that at least has some fantasy elements.
I think all of the prompts would work for either character or both. For “aftermath of resurrection” I was specifically thinking of Techno's canon execution but feel free to come up with a different scenario.
DNWs:
- crossovers and mundane/non-magical AUs
- Techno as Phil's son / related 4/4 SBI
- Techno or Phil or Kristin dying permanently (in a time loop is fine) – anyone else is fair game for angst purposes
- graphic on-screen physical torture

Relationships: Kristin/Philza (hurt Philza), Kristin/Philza & Technoblade (hurt Philza)
Medium: Fanfiction
Freeform tags: Aftermath - immortal character lost people they loved, A and B accidentally time travel to the moment of C's death, Anxiety over how to navigate boundaries of unestablished relationship, A can only comfort B from a distance, Character endures hurt because they perceive it as their god's will, Characters A and B take care of hurt/ill Character C whom they both love, non consensually made immortal
The Goddess of Death and her angel! I bet it took them a while to figure out how to make that relationship work, the goddess with limited knowledge of how non-deities live and the person who's great at avoiding expressing emotions. I'd especially love a look at their early relationship: there is plenty of room for uncertainty and misunderstandings on both sides. I also like the idea that Kristin might not have asked Phil before making him immortal, or even told him at first, that too might take some getting used to. And even when Kristin wants to comfort Phil, sometimes she can't reach him easily.
I'd also love Kristin and Techno taking care of Phil together, and that can be after they already know each other well or maybe when they don't know each other yet. I'd love something set during, pre- or post-DSMP canon, canon-divergence is also great; if you prefer to write an AU I'd prefer something that at least has some fantasy elements.

Relationships: Kristin & Wilbur Soot (hurt Wilbur)
Medium: Fanfiction
Freeforms: Aftermath of Resurrection, A can only comfort B from a distance, Can't Save Other Character's Life, Character A doesn't know how to comfort Character B, Character A thinks B cannot understand/help them because of their different species, Character A thinks B doesn't want them; they are wrong, Character expects to be punished but is unexpectedly comforted instead, Character endures hurt because they perceive it as divine punishment
I'm happy with any backstory headcanon for this, like Wilbur being Kristin's actual child (he just made up the fridge story to troll people), with a slight preference for Wilbur's mother being someone else but Kristin ~adopted him or even Wilbur barely knowing Kristin at all. Either way I imagine that Wilbur has complicated feelings about the Goddess of Death being his (step)mother, even before but especially after the time he spent in limbo; and likely Kristin isn't entirely sure how to relate to him either.
Limbo is a great source of angst here: what did Wilbur think when, after dying, he found himself in limbo in a train station instead of meeting Kristin? Or after he was brought back after years of being trapped there, not by Kristin but by Dream? How did he feel about Kristin and/or her domain afterwards? When and how did Kristin even find out what happened to Wilbur?
I'd love something set during, pre- or even post-DSMP canon (can Kristin reach or visit Utah, and does Wilbur know that?) Canon-divergence is also great; if you prefer to write an AU I'd prefer something that at least has some fantasy elements.

Relationships: Rowan & Willam (both hurt), Rowan & Bel & Willam (hurt Willam)
Medium: Fanfiction
Freeform: accepting injury to protect someone, attempted self-sacrifice, Bargaining - Victim Offers/Sacrifices Self to Protect Others, Begging for Mercy On Behalf of Third Party (Mercy Granted), Character A attempts to sacrifice themself for B; B gets very upset, Character has to fake being evil for reasons, Crying in front of people that you never wanted to see you cry, Hiding injuries to take care of others first, A saves B's life at great cost to themself and then hides it from them
I'd really like to see Willam being willing to go to ridiculous lengths to keep Rowan (and Bel, but especially Rowan) safe. And while he does his very best not to lie to her, betray her, or make choices for her, he will do it if he sees no other way, while feeling terrible about it. Meanwhile Rowan is also fond of Willam and would be unhappy about him being hurt.
DNW:
- graphic on-screen physical torture
- if you want to include Willam/Corvus, please make it a consensual & non-coercive relationship
- crossovers or setting AUs (canon-divergence is fine)

Freeforms: Accidental time travel into apocalyptic future, Blaming Themself for the Other Character Being Injured, Bodyswap - Swapped Character Tries To Get Used To Not Having Their Usual Powers/Abilities/Senses, Character feels useless/like a burden due to their illness/injury
I only started watching Origins after Phil returned to the server recently and I immediately became very fond of evil king Philza and his loyal follower Sneeg and not-yet-evil-enough prospective follower Tubbo. I don't think any of them would react well to being injured, especially if it's something that can't immediately be fixed with a health potion, and I don't think they'd react well to feeling responsible for such an injury either. Bodyswap could be especially fun here with the different origins – Phil would not be happy about not having his wings anymore, Sneeg couldn't move as he did before, Tubbo suddenly has to remember to regularly eat actual food… And what would an apocalyptic future on the server even look like, from these guys' PoV?
DNWs:
- graphic on-screen physical torture
- crossovers and mundane/non-magical AUs
(Prompts will most likely be slightly expanded on in the next few days.)
