What are your favorite things in hurt/comfort? And is there a type of hurt/comfort you love that nobody ever seems to write?
I love some kinds of h/c A LOT - mostly they're whump!fic with added comfort, I guess. But you seem to write my flavour of h/c a lot, so. :p
Hmmm, one thing I really like is where the characters have to deliberately injure themselves or each other for some goal, or to get out of a trap, or to lay a trap. I don't see that much, where the hurt is a choice and the characters may feel that because of that, they shouldn't need comfort. Oh, and mutual h/c is always great. And the ones where the uninjured character has a breakdown and needs to be comforted ...
I guess I'm not so much into altered mental states because things get complicated when you take the characters outside of their normal state of mind and behaviour. When it's done well it can be very good ... but unless we have a frame of reference in canon, five different fans may well have five different opinions on how that character might behave under those circumstances. *g*
Coma fic really is a lot more rare these days! But the kind I remember most wasn't really h/c, more like angstfic for the non-comatose character, where the other character waking up was likely to be the ending. From what I recall when this used to be common, I tended to not like those much because my favourite tended to be the comatose one and therefore was entirely passive for the entire fic.
