Hurt/Comfort Exchange
I didn't nominate for this because I didn't think I'd have time. Turns out I will, and I'm so happy to see these favorites in the tagset!
As of the sign-up deadline, this is a copy/paste job, so every prompt might not apply and might have references to other freeforms. Please ignore that. The lists of freeforms are from this exchange, and many of my prompts are already hurt/comfort, so hopefully that helps.
I'm CousinShelley at AO3. Here are my sign-ups in the fantastic Automagic App.
Thank you in advance for writing one of these fandoms for me! A shorter section than some others doesn't mean I love or want a fandom any less.
I offer a lot of prompts and mention what I like about the dynamics because it's fun for me to talk about them. If you hate that kind of thing, just pick a freeform and run with it. The general things I like and do-not-wants are at the bottom (linked from the top) in bulleted lists.
I prefer injury to illness, though illness brought on by trauma-related things (like dehydration, hypothermia, alien mind control or whatever) count as about the same as an injury to me.

Herbert's addiction to the reagent presents a lot of hurt/comfort possibilities. Him being hurt and unable to do whatever needs to be done to get them through whatever crisis he almost certainly caused also has a lot of promise. And I'm always down for him or Dan being hurt for mostly any reason (but I did pick the 'Character injured themselves doing something stupid' tag especially for Herbert) and the other caring for them, especially if they're seriously concerned about their well-being.
Trauma-induced nightmares are always a favorite too, especially when it involves the other character(s) crawling into the bed with them for comfort afterward or trying to help them through it somehow.
What always struck me about these two was how Herbert was clearly unhinged and got more so as the movies went, but Dan kept hanging in there with him. And I love how they're so physical with each other from the beginning, whether it’s leaning or a hand on the arm (or Herbert wrapping Dan in a blanket and touching his hand--!). And the director focused on these things in an interesting way.
One of my favorite moments is in Bride of Re-Animator when Dan presents Herbert with their creation. He’s awed and approaches them, and the first thing he does is grab Dan’s hand in a definitive squeeze. “We did it,” he says, giving Dan an equal part in their achievement and making a point of that. Dan’s holding her hand, and soon enough Herbert touches her specifically, but his first instinct was to squeeze Dan’s hand. And the whole shot is just that. I love that kind of thing.
I firmly believe that Herbert doesn’t really care about people as much as he cares about defeating death and reaching his goals. He doesn’t care about individual people at all, except Dan. Dan’s the one living person Herbert does give a damn about, and that’s one of the things that makes their relationship so great, IMO.
Some ideas I really like:
- Dan's face when Herbert starts insulting Hill after they've just met is amazing. Just watch his face when Halsey's trying to smooth it over while they're all standing there. It's like 'wow this guy is arrogant' and the way he looks down with this little shocked expression, seeming almost impressed. And then Herbert looks directly at Dan and their gazes lock while Halsey's talking to Hill. It's such a great moment. We can't really see Herbert's expression, but he seems to be staring intently in Herbert's typical resting 'fuck you' face whenever Hill's in the room. Honestly, it could be read as Bruce Abbott on the verge of smiling or laughing and ruining the take but managing to hang on in the end, but I like to see what passes over Dan's face while he and Herbert are staring at each other as an "oh no he's hot" moment. You can explore that as such a moment, or if not, show what he was thinking.
- It's a similar thing when they're in class and Herbert's snapping pencils. Watching Dan watch him is such a delight. And when Meg's complaining about Herbert and Dan admits he's a little cracked with a strange look on his face, and you can hear the implied "but I don't mind" or even "but I like it so it's okay." I'll enjoy anything dealing with Dan coming to terms with his sudden interest in an arrogant, slightly cracked Herbert
- I'm always down for one of them discovering he died and was brought back with (an obviously more refined) reagent and all the emotions and fallout from that.
- A fix-it for the third film. Preferably a short time span than 13 years, maybe just a year or so, and Herbert gets out of prison, either through a technicality or an escape. He goes to find Dan, not for revenge or anything, but maybe for help (if he escaped) or just to get some answers about why he betrayed him. But it turns out Dan only turned state’s evidence to prevent the government or some other villain from killing Herbert or worse and he hasn’t been able to contact him. Maybe Dan breaks him out and explains, even. As long as they get back together.
- Or maybe Carl Hill’s head got regenerated yet again and he bat-winged his way to Dan and hypnotized him to do it, and Dan’s been under his control for the whole time while Hill’s been trying to get him to reproduce the reagent or do his bidding while he’s working on it. I’m okay with it if he took other liberties with Dan too, giving Herbert even more reason to kill him again, but just controlling his mind and making him betray Herbert would be plenty. The aftermath of Dan getting free of that control and Herbert helping him through it would be amazing.
- If you can think of some other reason for an unwilling betrayal, I’m sure that’d be great, too. I’m after Herbert’s alarm when he discovers that Dan didn’t want to betray him and has been in a prison of his own the whole time, even if it’s just one of guilt.
- Any situation where Dan carries Herbert – to bed because he’s collapsing with exhaustion; to a room where he can help him inject reagent; because he’s rescued him from someone or somewhere and he’s injured; because he’s been attacked by one of his creations. Any reason at all. I just love the caretaking. That leads me to the hands tags.
- The focus on their hands and hand-touching/clasping in the films sends me. So that will obviously make me happy. I also really like the idea of Herbert’s hands being injured somehow (nothing that won’t heal). Maybe involuntary spasms for a while could lead Dan to help him eat or get dressed. I think he’d handle his basic hygiene on his own even if it hurt, he’s clever enough, but helping him bathe wouldn’t be out of the question, or helping him work.
- Herbert’s line about Dan thinking with his big head and not his little head stands out. He was so jealous of every woman who looked Dan’s way, but I’d like to see him and Dan both realize that as long as Dan’s thinking about him, Herbert’s fine with his little head doing some thinking. It can even be a revelation to Herbert, realizing how much he really does want Dan. Dan realizing that Herbert never touches anybody but him could be a result or the catalyst. Herbert doesn’t even like to shake people’s hands, wouldn’t even touch Dan the first time they met, then quickly couldn’t stop touching him every whipstitch. I love that.
- If Herbert creates a new reagent, while trying to keep people from coming back crazed and wrong, and tests it on himself, and it turns out to serve as some kind of sex pollen, that would be a-okay. Especially if he’s really suffering and determined not to push himself on Dan, so Dan has to take charge to make sure he’s okay. Alternately, Dan can be the one accidentally dosed somehow, maybe a spill or something that absorbs through his skin, and Herbert has to take care of him.
- Other tags deal with other things I love, like Herbert and/or Dan with their sleeves rolled up (and Herbert’s tie tucked in, which I’ve always loved). Dan pulling him in by the tie for a kiss would be great, if they reach that kind of point in the relationship. Rescuing each other. Bedsharing because of nightmares or to protect the other (from someone else or themselves), hand-touching/holding, Herbert being so proud of Dan for what he’s learned and how much he can do. Anything along any of those lines using one of the tags will be great.

I'm really a sucker for Ben's transformation over the last season or so as he's trying to come to grips with what the hell is going on. I keep coming back to the elevator game as something I want to see more explored-the trauma of that near-death experience is bad enough, but paired with it being something irrational makes it so much worse for him.
Either the aftermath of that, another similar trauma on top of it bringing it all back, or something totally new works great for me. Nightmares and hallucations, possession and the kind of flashbacks or visions it induces, all fair game for this one.
I'm also fine with anyone being hurt and needing comfort too. Kristen was already possessed, so visions for her make a lot of sense, and David's under heavy attack. Really anything with the three will be great.
An Evil story can be super dark, creepy, full-bore horror, but I'd prefer it not end dark or bleak. I like happy or at least hopeful endings. I like flirting, sexual tension, and heavy foreshadowing that they'll get together in the future, if you don't want to write sex (which is fine!).
- Anything that demonstrates the love, respect and trust between any of the mains. Like when Ben made the deep fake of Leland for Kristen, just trusting what she said to be true, and how she trusted him to do that. And how Ben works for David, not the church, because he trusts and cares about David. How David confided in Kristen about the mushrooms and how they have this thing going on between them. Anything highlighting trust and loyalty would be so great.
- The season that just ended raises all sorts of possibility, and I'm totally okay if they have a threesome that turns out to only be part of David's hallucination. In fact, I really really like that idea, especially with him having lustful thoughts after while he's around them knowing what's happening at night isn't real and struggling to stop thinking about it, wanting it and taking part in it when the opportunity arises.
- If you write sex, it can be 100% consensual or under-the-influence of something and I'll enjoy it either way. Just please make it natural and spontaneous without negotiations or rules or "formal" agreements, even if it's a stone-cold sober decision. No discussion at all would work, too.
- I love dubcon, so it can be dubcon all day long, but please no outright noncon between these characters. However, one or more can feel guilty as if they nonconned one or both of the others, as long as that's resolved by the end.
- Along those lines, maybe they're influenced by demons or some force that thinks having them all together will destroy their relationships, but of course it has the opposite effect. The devil can think that some dubcon threesome where they double-team Kristen or where David or Ben has sex with the other is going to make them avoid each other, but joke's on you, bad guy, they secretly wanted it anyway, so there.
- Maybe David and Kristen could be in another scenario like at the farm and Ben shows up, and that's how it happens. Maybe he shows up in that episode, the night David and Kristen first kissed, and things ensue. Any situation like that's going to be good by me.
- The three of them can also be together without any sex with just serious flirting going on and maybe the implication that things are going to happen between them eventually, whether they're influenced by something or not.
- The end of the season was devastating. More insight into them comforting Kristen when she told them about Andy, how she goes to them immediately after the end of the season (because surely she did run to tell them) and how they react.
- The scenes from the Demon of the Road where they're in the car, singing and hanging out and just being best friends? I love that kind of thing, so more of that would be great. Road tripping for a case, getting stranded at a motel or anywhere, whether with friendship or romantic/sexual dynamics, would be great.
- I'd love to see a scene where Ben just doesn't take in the information about Leland being on a child's app in quite so much stride but instead asks more questions and learns the whole story then informs Kristen and David, and what they might think and do about that. Ben and the kids are one of my favorite things, and him being something they trust to tell things even more, so if you want to go there, feel free!
- I'm fine if they all, or two of the three, get dosed with David's mushrooms and either get sexy with each other or reveal shippy feelings to each other, or have some epiphanies about spiritual things or a case specifically, depending on where you want to take things.
- Pick up where the season ends and take it in whatever direction you want, or focus more on a single case they had or a new one. Any situation from a dinner together to working to planning a 'yay you're not dead' party for Andy or dealing with her kids would be great. More show-like interactions is all I really need!
- I'd also love to hear Ben's and Kristen's take on the magical glowing vagina-like portal (I can't help thinking that every time) that opens in the sky filled with saints in David's visions.

The level of loyalty and closeness here in almost any hurt/comfort situation, whether emotional or physical, will be great. One protecting the other and getting hurt in the process, or PTSD from Vietnam and one helps the other through nightmares or flashbacks, taking a bullet, near-drowning and trauma from that (particularly for Cody), and going undercover in a situation where one has to injure the other to keep them both alive all sound terrific.
My favorite thing about Nick and Cody is that they are constantly in each other's personal bubble in a way that would feel awkward to most people, even the closest of friends. The whole show is like they're lovers who just haven't figured that out yet. When one sits down the other practically sits in his lap, and neither of them bat an eye.
And of course they've been there for each other through thick and thin, took care of each other in Vietnam, live together, sleep in the same room and even work together. There's only one way for them to get closer, and if you want to go there I will be on board, but it's also great if you write them getting to shippy without sex.
Feel free to include Murray if you want. I do like him being able to see that they love each other before the guys do and either doing nothing or nudging them ever so slightly towards each other. Them having to rescue him is always a winner too, or him teaming with one of the guys to rescue the other. But it's purely and & relationship. I don't want Boz romantically linked to either Nick or Cody, but he's free to have a love interest of any gender within the story as long as it's not one of them.
I'd really rather avoid a bunch of angst about being gay or bi in the 80s, but I do like when one is afraid to make it known because they worry about damaging the friendship, and the happiness when it's revealed that of course nothing could damage the friendship and they felt the same all along, yay!
I love first times for them, all the getting together scenarios, whether with just revelation of feelings or all the way to sexy times.
- Peril and concern for each other, like one getting kidnapped for some reason and the other frantic to rescue them. And if the cops think the kidnapped one is dead but the other refuses to give up and accept that, I love that kind of stuff. One rescuing the other, doesn't matter which is which, is great.
- Undercover as gay is a winner here. Maybe they have to pretend to be a couple for a case and it makes them realize some things. And if they're in a hotel or somewhere and, oh no, there's only one bed, all the better. Sex isn't necessary for me to enjoy the story even in a bedsharing situation, but if you want to write, I'll enjoy it!
- Being mistaken as a couple by someone on the outside, a new person they're helping with a case, and that person explaining why they thought that could be good. Someone pointing out that straight heterosexual guys don't generally sit almost in each other's laps when there are several feet of space on either side of them might make them realize some things.
- PTSD nightmares and flashbacks that have the other person comforting them, particularly with bedsharing, is great. I like one dreaming of the other dying and waking up frantic to grab ahold of him to assure himself he's okay. Lots of touching, holding, grabbing, that kind of thing. They're very handsy with each other, so more of that!
- One gets shot while they're on a case, and they can't get to help right away so the other has to take care of them until help comes.
- In any kind of danger situation, the whole "not him, take me instead" thing is fantastic both for the self-sacrifice of it but what it does to the other person. I like a lot of angst, as long as there's a happy ending. Also a fan of one being tortured to hurt the other in a hostage/kidnapping situation where they're trying to get information about something or just revenge, as long as the hurt one is rescued before it gets too bad.
- For a lighter story, maybe the guys get invited to some conference and though they have the opportunity to date a couple gorgeous women, they prefer to hang out together instead. Feel free to have Murray there, maybe he drags them to something they're not looking forward to, and end up going off alone to do the same kinds of things they'd do on the Riptide, and start to realize what that means.
- Some kind of party game they get roped into participating in, like a Newlywed Game or trivia-about-your-partner type thing, where in front of everybody they basically reveal how they have absolutely intimate knowledge of each other, maybe even with one of them joking they ought to date, could be great fun.
- One getting jealous over the other is always great, as long as it ends up resolved with them together.

Nightmares, visions, hallucinations, the aftermath of possession and/or struggling with feelings they don't think they should feel will be great. One possessed who hurts the other and can't stop it and dealing with that is always fun. Just please balance out so that the comfort is at least as much as the hurt, or it can be all aftermath with very little on-page hurt. The more obvious mutual devotion, the better.
I do want more than friendship, hence the /, but sex isn't required for me to be all heart-eyes about it. I don't care whether you choose S1 or S2 or go post-canon, with a new take on something that's already happened or a brand new situation altogether.
What I'd like most is some sort of hurt/comfort scenario that's just dripping with mutual devotion, and the more hand-clasping and nape-touching you can get in there, the better.
Some prompts:
- Marcus doesn't leave Tomas at the end but stays to help him through what will surely be some PTSD from what he went through having the evil inside him.
- love nightmares and the hurt caused by them especially when there's someone close to by to offer comfort afterward. A dream or series of them where first-season dark Marcus is whispering things in Tomas' ear would be good, too. Or possessed-Marcus does it when awake, and it can lead to some sort of seduction or not, dubconny in the no-no-yes vein or not (but no non-con). How would they deal with it afterward? Even a situation where it almost happens but doesn't is ripe for some great introspection and character/relationship stuff.
- I really like the idea of one or the other having those intense dreams where the other menaces them in the sexiest of ways, and each night the dreams escalate, and they start to have trouble separating reality from their dreams when they wake up so they might do or say things that would not be forward with the dream other but are unexpected in real life, and the one not affected has to suss out what's going on.
- If god could convince Marcus that loving someone and expressing that through sex wouldn't make him less an exorcist, that'd be really great. Tomas might point out that he'd know if that were evil with his newfound skills and all.
- Just about anything--post-exorcism conversation and comfort (I loved the bar scene at the end of season 1), navigating each other's spaces, a story about something they did together between S1 and S2, investigating the church.
- Any hurt/comfort scenario, expansion on any episode from either season, or any situation where one or the other is possessed and fighting it to keep from hurting the other and has to be exorcised. I truly love that stuff.
- A lighter story that involves Marcus teaching Tomas his ways, maybe with Tomas messing up quite a lot, and them not entirely exhausted all the time or in danger would be great, too. As long as there's obvious shippy affection between them, even if they're both fighting it, and lots of touching and standing far too close together, I'm down.
- Dubcon where the demons decide that helping/pushing Marcus and Tomas to get together will destroy them through guilt or whatever, but nope, it just makes them stronger (after some initial guilt and hand-wringing, probably).
- Or either Tomas or Marcus hurt and in the hospital--I'm amazed most of the show wasn't one of them recuperating in a hospital bed, frankly--and the other there every time the hurt one opens his eyes.

- Tropes like only one bed and every other possible bedsharing scenario, fake couple/marriage leading to real romance, forced proximity and bonus if there’s peril
- First kiss, first times, first realization of feelings
- Humor, snark and banter, laughing and joking with each other
- Happy or at the very least ambiguously hopeful endings
Sex-Related Likes
- Porn with feelings and emotional or romantic sex
- Dubcon when requested

- Manhandling and displays of strength, up against the wall sex
- Kneeling (any reason but especially for oral sex or to kiss knees or thighs or anything like that, grand)

- When requested or present in canon, hair-pulling or ass-slapping in the heat of the moment
- With appropriate pairings, like vampires, blood drinking and/or licking blood off the other’s mouth, face, neck, etc. can’t go wrong. With vampires, blood doesn't fall under my bodily fluid DNW.
- I like stories with no sex, fade-to-black, or full-on smut, so write whatever level you prefer. I like at least as much if not more focus on the emotions as on what body part goes where.

To clarify on the serious illness or injury, referencing canon trauma is fine but someone having an amputation, stroke or a life-threatening non-canon disease, or developing any mental disorders like schizophrenia, is a big no.
Injuries and illnesses that can heal are fine, like someone getting shot in a casefic or having the flu or broken bones, for instance.
