Dear Whumpex Creator
Hello! Thank you so much for writing for me!
I would be perfectly happy with a story focused entirely on the "hurt," but I also love h/c so feel free to go in as much with the comfort as you like, too!
I love treats and have gifts enabled.
General fic likes: plotty fic, domestic fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, forced proximity (one bed/tent/hotel room/escape pod, etc), banter, bonding, enemies/antagonists to friends or lovers, healing from trauma, ambiguous relationships (are they friends or enemies? was that flirting or just being Normal about each other? do even they know?), loyalty and trust, unexpected moments of empathy, "die for you" levels of closeness (especially if they didn't realize it until the actual situation happened).
Whump likes: Serious injury, head injuries, abdominal/chest injuries, stabbing/shooting/bleeding out, flogging/whipping, poisoning, presumed dead, rape (I prefer aftermath, angst/trauma about it, and recovery more than graphic descriptions of the act itself, but I'm not put off by graphic descriptions so don't worry about that), sex pollen/fuck or die, worry and angst, taking a hit for someone else, tending injuries, characters holding each other and "don't die on me!", realizing how much you care about someone while they're nearly dying, powering through hurt or hiding it until the crisis is over and/or you're alone and you can collapse, not realizing how badly someone is hurt until they collapse, being brought to unusual-for-them levels of physical touch or emotional openness by trying to comfort someone who is badly hurt.
I am perfectly fine with nausea and vomiting as part of my whump as long as it's not really super detailed and graphic (but I enjoy characters being incapacitated that way). I'm also fine with things not detailed above, so in case you have other ideas, please go for them!
Whump dislikes/do not want: Graphic damage to eyes or teeth. (Though I realize that's canon for one of my requested characters; canon levels or h/c surrounding that is fine.)
Other do not want: See individual sections.
Biggles books - W.E. Johns
Freeforms: Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Graphic Violence, Graphic Torture, Rape, Whump
Do not want: Any focus whatsoever on WW2 for Erich. Deaths of requested characters. Rape of one requested character on another; I'd prefer canon villains or OCs in that role.
I didn't request Biggles/EvS specifically, but I do ship it and I'm perfectly happy with flirtatiousness, ambiguity, or even full-on ship if you like.
Solo: Hurt Erich von Stalhein
Hurt him, hurt him good. There can certainly be comfort involved, as much as you like, with other characters! (Biggles's team or his sister/nephew particularly welcome.) But you can also focus on some of his more alone times - after the WWI crash, working as a mercenary, in Sakhalin. Maybe he gets tortured to try to get him to go after Biggles, and resists? Maybe we get some of the fallout from the times when Biggles goes back to England and Erich is left variously hurt, alone, or disgraced.
I also enjoy the headcanon of Erich's relationship with his superiors or handlers, especially Zorotov, involving sexual abuse either because he feels like he can't say no, or because he thinks he deserves it. Mess him upppp, physically and emotionally! (Biggles finding out afterwards and being enraged on his behalf, or walking in on the middle of it and going ballistic, is entirely welcome - bonus points if Erich is ashamed and thinks Biggles will hate him for it; hurt him moar! - but you can also just leave him alone with the pain.)

James "Biggles" Bigglesworth & Erich Von Stalhein (both hurt)
Biggles & Ginger Hebblethwaite & Algy Lacey & Bertie Lissie & Erich von Stalhein (hurt Erich)
Any era of the series is fine with me, from Flies East AUs to post-Hatchet. I love post-Sakhalin fic (give me alllll the angsty aftermath!), or AUs in which their escape goes differently - maybe Biggles gets hurt in the escape, or Erich gets hurt even more badly than in canon, or collapses when his body gives out.
The multi-decade scope of the series gives many options - you can deal with any of the numerous instances of canon hurt, have them encounter each other as enemies or as friends. Erich reacting to a hurt prisoner Biggles (maybe finding out his men have roughed him up much more than expected), or Biggles (&co) encountering a badly hurt Erich who has been abandoned by his unreliable co-conspirators? Erich being forced to interrogate Biggles by his superiors, or taking up the order to kill him? Maybe an AU in which, instead of being sent to Sakhalin, he is tortured instead and Biggles & Co show up for a rescue? Or perhaps he is apprehended months or years after the Sakhalin escape, and they decide to make an example of him; or Biggles is captured and tortured due to his role in Erich's defection, and needs rescue.
These are all just ideas; I love whump and h/c, and I'm fine with anything that fits the themes of the exchange. Hurt-no-comfort is fine for this, especially for Erich - if you want to set up a scenario in which &co have a near brush with rescuing him but fail to do so, or an enemy Erich leaves a badly hurt Biggles behind, that's fine! - but I also adore comfort and aftermath, so you can lean into that as much as you like, too.
Babylon 5 (TV 1993)
Freeforms: Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Graphic Violence, Graphic Torture, Character Death, Whump
Do not want: nothing specific this time. I usually DNW major character death, but I'm opting in this time (though of course I'm very happy with a good-end ending as well, including whumpily fixing canon tragedies - if you want to rescue Londo while hurting him bad, please go for it!).

G'Kar/Londo Mollari (both hurt)
There's definitely no lack of canon hurt to go around for them. You could focus on one of those situations - G'Kar's torture in the Cartagia arc (maybe even going AU with Cartagia hurting them both, or forcing them to "perform", sexually or otherwise, or hurt each other for his amusement), or one of Londo's many times in the medbay, the elevator episode, the rescue during the fall of Centauri Prime, etc - feel free to extend canon hurt with extra scenes, more hurt or more comfort than canon, etc. Or throw them into something entirely new - late season four or season five would be a particularly nice era for it, but other time periods are fine too! Go slightly AU and have them spend more time together, or write something angsty dealing with their eventual fated deaths at each other's hands - it's all good with me.
I am perfectly delighted with fic leaning into the comfort aspect - I adore it, and would be very happy with a fic that gives us more comfort than canon typically does, or something where they're teamed up on a mission or whatever and one of them gets badly hurt and there's worry and petting after! But given the nature of canon, angsty hurt with very little comfort is also something I would completely go for. Dying tragically in each other's arms at some other point in canon is fine too - I like things working out positively, in general, and I would be delighted with any level of rescue and comfort, but for this request I'm completely fine with a tragic ending, too.
Gen or ship or anything ambiguous in between is completely fine for this. Just fuck me up with their fated-in-the-stars, doomed tragic hate/love, or give them a happy ending, or some moments of comfort and gentleness, or just wallow in the hurt, I'm good with all of it.
Vir Cotto & Londo Mollari (hurt Vir)
Vir Cotto & Londo Mollari (both hurt)
I'd love to see how Londo would react to something really bad happening to Vir, or the two of them in a Situation together. Any point in the series is fine. Centauri court politics provide lots of opportunities for backstabbing, poisonings, etc; there are also plenty of opportunities for getting hurt on B5. Perhaps their plot against Cartagia goes wrong and they get tortured themselves, or end up being thrown into prison along with G'kar (feel free to combine character combos in requests here, I'd be fine with that, delighted even!). Canonically, there's also G'Kar attacking both of them in "Dust to Dust." Maybe it's Londo and Vir instead of Londo and Lennier in the hallway explosion in 3x02.
One possibility that occurred to me when I was watching season three is that Morden could easily have gone after Vir instead of Adira if the Shadows had realized what Vir means to Londo (which I'm not sure even Londo himself realizes at that point), and I would totally read that fic! Or perhaps Vir takes a hit meant for Londo when an enemy tries to assassinate him, or gets hurt worse than canon during the Refa assassination, Cartagia's murder, or some other situation Londo drags him into? Maybe vengeful Narns on B5 get their hands on Vir, or on both Vir and Londo, post-homeworld-liberation? I'm good with anything you want to do, leaning into graphic hurt or leaning comforty or whatever. (In general, for these two I think I'd rather see things work out well for them, but if you have a good idea involving a nice whumpy death scene, feel free to go for it!)
