turpsDear h/c exchange author.
First of all, thank you for writing something for me. Seriously, that means a lot, and I'm sure what you'll come up with will be fantastic.
Second, this is the first time I've ever done a challenge in this format, and suspect I haven't included nearly enough tags. So, if you've looked and are horrified at my lack of wants, please know I enjoy pretty much everything, just, I wasn't sure if I had to list them all.
Honestly, there's little I dislike in terms of h/c, though my favourite tends towards the physical. Injuries and being sick, disasters to mundane things like getting something like measles/strep throat etc. I'm fine with dark themes, including n/c, just no permanent death please, that especially goes for anyone in a parental role, even off-screen. I also like things like characters selling themselves for money or to help others. Being in an abusive relationship -- but in that case, the abuser being an OC please is fine. Dealing with permanent injuries is all good, cages, slavery, hunger, having to do anything to survive, medical experimentation: bring it.
I love people hiding injuries and just powering through without thought to their own wellbeing. While I enjoy the extreme hurt, I also like the comfort part afterwards and love other people seeing that someone is hurt/being hurt but hiding it. For example, sleeves riding up exposing bruises, withdrawing for no reason but trying to hide that.
Emotional h/c is fine, too. Not feeling good enough, feeling abandoned, someone being shown they are actually needed and loved is excellent. As is found family and someone being brought in from the physical and emotional cold.
AUs are fine, mundane or not. So anything from a domestic day to day to slavery in space.
I'm fine with slash or gen. Seriously, I wouldn't care in the slightest if your story contains no sex scenes at all.
DNW. I have an embarrassment squick. I can happily read humiliation in terms of someone being captured and humiliated as part of torture but not within a relationship or in everyday situations.
Please don't make a canon character be mean/evil to get two other characters together. Especially if that canon character is usually in a happy relationship with the other character. It's fine to ignore their relationship, but don't make them abusive just to create another relationship.
In terms of The Musketeers, I dislike the parts of season 3 where Athos, and especially Porthos, were at odds with Aramis. So I'd prefer not to read about that.
Specifics to what I requested.
Umbrella Academy.
I love this show and all the siblings. My favourite is Klaus, but the others are close behind. Hurt wise, my choices were Klaus or Diego, and I'd love either of those or both. I'd be happy with anything set in the tv universe, or comics, or if you want to experiment, something AU. Anything goes really as long as the siblings are involved. They all don't have to be the focus of the story, but I would like a nod to them being around.
I can easily see Klaus making very dubious decisions other his personal health and safety, Diego too in fact. So if you want to explore that that would be great. But all kinds of hurt, from missions etc, or exploring them ending up in the future, a post-Apoc world would also be great.
I was going to say my dnw for this fandom would be death, but thinking about it, I guess that would mean Ben could have some company, so it doesn't really apply.
The Musketeers.
Aramis is my everything for this fandom. He'll always be my preferred hurt person and I love the others looking after him. I'd be happy with the main three but d'Artagnan being involved would be fantastic, too.
As with my general wants, go as dark as you like, just no killing Aramis off, please. And no making Anne a villain so Aramis can suffer.
AUs would also be happily read, so if you want to write them in modern times, go for it.
MCA
My favourite pairing is Winterhawk. I love Clint and Bucky together and if you write those two I'd be happy with either being hurt. But if you write away from that, Clint will always be my hurt focus. I love when he's reminded that he's only human but also love when he's kick-ass and excellent at what he does. I enjoy both trashfire Clint with Lucky the dog or the more movie based focused Clint. Really, I just love any kind of Clint.
If you do go for Winterhawk I really love stories that show the realities of having a prosthetic, the phantom pains etc. I mean, Stark Industries tech may be the best but it's still an artificial arm, that has to take some getting used to, especially in non-superhero AUs. Deaf Clint is also something I enjoy reading.
Whatever you decide to write, thank you! H/C is my most favourite thing to read, so I hope this letter has helped and you have as much fun writing as I will reading.
