Hurt No Comfort Masterlist

5 Times Steve Rogers Lost Someone and 1 Time He Pushed Them Away (ao3) - stark2ash implied steve/bucky G, 4k

Summary: Steve is no stranger to loss.

A Handshake and a Smile (ao3) - heartreactor T, 5k

Summary: And... you've won. Congratulations. Fair game. Good sport. Have fun?

Or...

Nebula misses the human she ended up stuck with when stranded in space.

all messed up with nowhere to go (ao3) - girlbookwrm steve/bucky M, 8k

Summary: “You make me promise to try, every time before we say goodbye. “Whatever happens, you always stand up, Steve.” And I will. I'll try, Buck. I'll try to pick up where you left off.”

After the Snap, Steve starts writing in Bucky’s journal.

and they will run you down 'til you fall (ao3) - an_insomaniac T, 4k

Summary: The first thing he felt was bright light, even through closed eyes, coloring the insides of his eyelids a reddish color.

The first thing he thought was, fuck, I overslept. Ma's gonna kill me.

Then he realized he wasn't at home in New York with his family. No, he was overseas in Europe, fighting a war. Except not anymore, because they all got captured. And now he was stuck here, strapped to a metal table, alone.

Or: Bucky has gotten hurt by Hydra countless times in his long, long life. But how, exactly, did it go the first time around? Bucky (and the Howling Commandos)'s time as prisoners of war in Azzano.

Backwards (ao3) - Strickmaler T, 1k

Summary: His nightmares, while not a recurring thing, always take their toll upon Peter.

Concession (ao3) - obsession_inc pepper/tony M, 26k

Summary: An AU diverging from canon after the first movie: Christine Everhart investigates the disappearance of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. No warnings, no guarantees.

Delusions of Happiness (ao3) - McKiwi_Writes T, 1k

Summary: What good is a Sorcerer Supreme to a world that's lost it's magic? What good is a heart to a man with no one to love? Sinister does this Stephen, like so many others out there, a favor.

Summary: There's something very personal between them. It always has been.

Natasha and Clint through the years and how Endgame changed it all, somehow.

Great Power Greater Responsibility (ao3) - Dearestspaghetti, Vennat T, 5k

Summary: “I don’t know about the stuff that was going on behind the scenes but. I-I saw him bleed.” A pause, Peter held his breath. “I didn’t use to think he was truly a hero. Stopping a bus, sure, that’s impressive, but I didn’t think he was needed. Until today. Until I heard him screaming.”

Just One (Is Never Enough) (ao3) - Myrime T, 2k

Summary: Tony knows the criteria for diagnosing an addiction since Pepper has helpfully supplied him with a flyer once or five times. He is not an addict. He could stop. It is not withdrawal making him feel miserable. That is just his life. At least Obie understands that and helps - even if that means putting a bottle of whiskey in his hand at eleven in the morning.

Tony is fine.

Nothing Left (ao3) - 16woodsequ G, 3k

Summary: “What was I supposed to do?” Steve asks sharply. “Wait to hear the news second-hand from your Ma?” He runs a hand through his hair, his stomach twisting as he speaks. “We wouldn’t even have had anything to bury, Buck.”

Bucky dies.

That's three times now.

And there's never anything left to bury.

Red Glass (ao3) - Anonymous T, 12k

Summary: Steve had always hated the aftermath of battles. This one was no different, except, of course, it was.

That Damaged Love (But I Don't Know What Else) (ao3) - FairyQueen (etoilecourageuse) T, 1k

Summary: It was way too high a cost to shed even a single tear, and all those who had once entered the Red Room were much too aware of this for their very own good.

The More Things Stay the Same (ao3) - issuedSideways M, 2k

Summary: Tony is invited to a party, and things go poorly in a way he's all too used to.

Written for the prompt "spiked drink."

There's no remedy for memory (ao3) - Gigglebox peter/mj G, 5k

Summary: There was something strangely familiar about the man who just entered MJs coffee shop. She was sitting at the counter nursing a headache from a wound that she still couldn’t quite remember getting and waiting not-so-patiently for her shift to finally end.

A brown haired boy walked in and MJ was struck for a second with a sense of recognition and a deep longing. But just as quickly as it came, it was gone. “Can I help you?” she asked, hoping the annoyance that she felt throughout the day wasn’t obvious in her voice.

“Hi, um, My name is Peter Parker. And I…” The boy looked at a paper as if he had some speech written down on it and MJ was intrigued wondering why he would be giving a speech to her. “...would like a coffee, please.” But as quickly as he gained the confidence to say whatever he was going to say, it disappeared.

or: Peter failing to tell MJ about their relationship after the events of No Way Home told from MJs perspective.

Void (ao3) - MnemonicMadness T, 1k

Summary: Everyone would have expected for Mantis to react, to scream or rage the moment she touched Tony Stark. To feel anger or sadness or some other twisted thing. Instead, she doesn't react. She touches him and feels nothing.

who loves for real loves for ever (ao3) - dante_baby T, 3k

Summary: Love sees Thor's tattoos and asks who Loki is. This makes Thor realize that he wasn't prepared for this conversation at all.

What I Read in September 2021

It's been a stagnant month, but I did find a couple favorites :) as usual, composed of mainly Harry Potter fics but there's a spare Modern Family fic in there and a couple crossovers. I think I read about 27-28 fics :)

Harry Potter

Family Relations by OxfordOctopus

Plot: In which Harry realizes that not even he's exempt from how interconnected magical families are.

Characters: Harry, Pavarti, Hermione, Ron

Relationships: Hermione & Harry & Ron

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse

Tags: Desi Potter Family; Desi Harry; Hogwarts third year; red-haired Harry Potter

*complete*

Talking to Thestrals by OxfordOctopus

Plot: In a world where Voldemort well and truly died in ‘81, where there are no Horcruxes, where Harry is sequestered off by a man in a flying motorcycle when he's six, and where the only legacy the most feared Dark Lord left behind was his politics and a heavily scarred child, nobody quite realizes that Harry isn’t okay. Nobody but the leathery creatures at the lake, and the girl who looks at them.

Characters: Harry, Luna

Relationships: Harry & Luna

Warnings: anxiety, dissociation, suicidal thoughts, bullying, implied/referenced child abuse, child neglect

Tags: Sirius Black Criticism; Hogwarts second year; Sirius Black Never Went to Azkaban; AU - No Voldemort;

My Notes: Now, I love Sirius just as much as the next girl, but this is such an interesting look at a man raising a kid when he wasn’t ready and the consequences of that (I relate a tad too strongly)

*complete*

Slytherin Politics by OxfordOctopus

Plot: Abused children don't respond well to power plays.

Characters: Harry, Draco, Theodore Nott, Daphne Greengrass

Warnings: graphic depictions of violence

Tags: violence, broken bones, Slytherin Harry, bullying

My Notes: Harry is so truly terrifying in this fic, it’s wonderful

*complete*

rotten on the inside by cassiopeia721

Plot: Harry's boggart isn't Voldemort, or even a dementor. It's something much worse.

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse

Tags: Hogwarts third year; boggarts; angst; protective Hermione; Hermione is a Good Friend

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell by IamShadow21

Plot: Questions asked, questions unasked, secrets told and secrets kept, trust, devotion, empathy and love. Ron and Harry's friendship, from that first day on the Hogwarts Express, right through until after the Battle. Can be read as a friendship fic, or a ship fic. It's open to interpretation.

Characters: Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Hermione, Arthur

Relationships: Harry/Ron

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse

Tags: canon compliant; canon-typical violence; friendship, hurt/comfort; protective Ron; Protective Fred; Protective George; gen or pre-slash; platonic cuddling; POV Ron

My Notes: now this could be read as pre-slash, as a relationship, or just good friends, but I am so completely head over heels in love with the idea of Harry and Ron! Best friends to lovers!

*complete*

Best Served Cold by enchantedsleeper

Plot: “C’mon, Freddie,” George says suddenly, sotto voce. “Sooner the four of us get out of here, the better.” It hadn’t been the right moment, as they were exploring the Dursleys’ comfortable house in the dead of night, to plant a well-timed trick or a trap and risk blowing the whole operation – and getting Harry into even more trouble with his sadistic relatives. Better just to get Harry out and away from that place. But two years later, Fred and George got their chance for revenge.

Characters: Harry, Fred, George, Ron, Arthur

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse

Tags: Book 4; Harry is an honorary Weasley

The Closest Distance Between Two People by StartledStarfish

Plot: In Harry's third year, no dementors boarded the Hogwarts Express in search of Sirius Black. Remus Lupin, the new defense professor, slept the whole way there. He did not wake to cast a patronus. Harry never passed out. Never heard his mother scream. Never saw the flash of green light. Never felt the unspeakable cold drain all the happiness out of him. So when Harry’s turn came to face the boggart, his greatest fear could not be a dementor. Harry blinked and looked up into the smiling face of Albus Dumbledore.

My HxHBB21 Fic Recs

Hello everyone!  Having read pretty much all of this years Hunter x Hunter Big Bang Fics, I’d like to share some of the ones I enjoyed.

PART 1 - Fics that deserve way more attention! (Arranged in order of fewest hits first)

1. SilverSphere’s Werewolf Hunter AU:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32348971

ONLY 31 HITS??? Are we going to let that gorgeous storybook style formatting go to waste?  It’s a Wild West style adventure that makes use of a whole host of minor characters I’ve never seen anyone incorporate into their fics before.  A lot of thought has gone into the world building.

2. This is Home by Midlifecrisisketh

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32750134/chapters/81253831

Only 62 hits on this one.  Don’t pass over it just because it’s gen!  This fic starts off with a sad but also heartwarming reunion between Gon and Leorio.  I’m definitely getting some found family vibes here.  Everyone needs to heal a little.

3. Flavus’s Amazing Race AU:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32910733/chapters/81675811

IT ONLY HAS 116 HITS THIS IS A CRIME!  This fic has something for everyone who likes any of the main four characters.  There’s Killua who has essentially been adopted by Bisky, and who just wants to shield his younger siblings from harm.  FAMILY!  DOMESTICITY!  MY HEART!  There’s Gon who has essentially been adopted by Kite, who is a way better father than SOME PEOPLE WE COULD NAME.  There’s Kurapika who has no idea what to do with his life after achieving his mission, with Melody knowing everything and also being comforting I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE IS THE BEST.  And then there’s Leorio struggling to pay for still-alive Pietro’s medical bills.  I want to hug all of them.

4. Vennat’s AU where Gon joins the Ryodan at the tender age of 4:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32598946/chapters/80864233

Only 179 hits on this one!  I am so intrigued by the concept of this AU and I’m dying to find out what happens next.

5. Killugonist’s The Princess and the Frog AU:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32701198/chapters/81126196

ExCUSE me, the most popular ship in this fandom and somehow only has 219 hits?  How did this happen?  I don’t ship Killugon myself, but this fic even drew me in with the storytelling and I can’t wait to see what happens next.  We’ve got some humor and a few plot twists in here already.

6. Dodici’s Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy AU:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32423947

Only 278 hits on this one!  I SO WANT TO DRAW alien Kurapika and cyborg encyclopedia Gon and murder kitten Killua and two-headed Oito and Woble.  This story is full of humor and action!  Please give it a read!

Coming up in the next edition of my HxHBB21 fic recs is Part 2: the Leopikas.  I’ll post in a week or so to give you guys some time to read the first batch first.

Pride and Prejudice: Modern AU Part I: the invitation

SYNOPSIS: Elisa Benet is in her second year of her master’s degree in creative writing. As a West End actor chooses to visit the university in a scouting project, Charles Bingley, she is invited to a dinner to greet him and brings along her flatmate, Jane. However, what she does not expect, is to become acquainted by F. William Darcy; writer and director of the latest West End sensation. 

Word count: 1296

“Eli, have you heard the news!” my flatmate, Lydia, chants as she enters my room. 

“Lydia its too early, its barely seven,” I complain. Doesn’t she have the slightest sense of respect for privacy? Do they not teach that in the new curriculum?

“You must remember the play we saw last time in London, the newest West End sensation?” she asks, cheerfully opening all the blinds on my room. 

“Sure I do,” I answer as I shield my eyes from the light. “What is so exiting about it?” I swear if its not important I will throw a pillow at her. 

My flatmate turns to the door, “Oh! Jane, tell her, tell her!!”

My other flatmate, Jane, stands by the door. Out of my four flatmates, she is the one I am closest to, but at the same time, she’s the shyest of the group. 

“Well,” Jane says quietly, “Charles Bingley, the main actor, is to visit our university to deliver a couple seminars, but most importantly to scout for possible talent.”

“Isn’t that so exiting!” Lydia exclaims bubbly. “To meet a proper West End actor! What if he comes to like me? Oh, the easiest way to pay the never ending student debt!”

“You’re probably not meeting him anyways,” Mary comments as she passes by the door with some laundry at hand. Typical Mary, always too pessimistic. 

As she goes by, Lydia poked out her tongue. 

“Real classy,” I jokes, “a said Charles Bingley will love it.”

I cannot deny the news are exiting, not as if I were ever going to meet that Bingley, but having a kind-of celebrity around made things more cheerful. The past months had been torture, as I prepare my final piece of work for my masters dissertation. I was study creative writing, with the hopes of having a piece published by the end of my masters, but the clock is ticking away. I have almost finished the second year of my program, as I chose part-time so I could handle my finances better. Its all for love towards art, and my favourite part is living with my flatmates. Jane, slightly older than me, graduated in classics the year before and took upon herself to still manage the university theater club, whilst she teaches in a local school and part-timing as a seamstress. We all know her real dream is to do costume design and direct, but sometimes that kind of dream needs to be sustained by connections of name and wealth. Then we have Mary, who is still in undergrad studying music. I don’t remember how we picked her up, but oddly enough, we did. A bit antisocial, and a socially awkward many, we had adopted her as our flatmate from the beginning of our career. Lydia needs no explanation. She is currently starting her new career path, having passed by engineering to then doing drama, to finally ending up doing literature, just like I did. At this point, we don’t even care about what career she ends up in, just that she commits to one before we move out. Lastly, we have Kitty, the youngest. Being our landlady’s foreign niece, her mom thought it would be great to have her move outside problematic halls, and where better to move than with the lovely girls her sister talks so much about?? It sometimes worries me how easily Lydia can influence her, both of them being completely inseparable, but Kitty is a smart girl. 

Sometimes I wish Lydia would be that too. Not that I’m ashamed of caring for her, but sometimes, its hard work. For example; waiting for me outside my tutor’s office to inquire after Charles Bingley. 

“Mr. B!” I hear her exclaim loudly as my tutor walks me out of his office, “I heard a rumor that a Charles Bingley is around school, looking for talent!”

“Ah, miss Benson! Yes indeed, Mr Bingley will be in school for a couple weeks!” my tutor answers awkwardly. To his misfortune, he happens to have also been placed as Lydia’s tutor. I cannot count how many times he has regretted so in my presence. 

“Well you have to introduce us to him!” Lydia comments shamelessly. I pinch her elbow slightly, so she knows she is being too forthcoming. 

“I don’t think it will happen miss--”

“Well DoNt YoU LoVE to TorTUre US?” Lydia interrupts dramatically, “its such a shame.”

My tutor sighs, to whatever god: grant me patience, his eyes seem to ask. 

“Miss Benson, I am not sure what you want me to do...”

Lydia and our tutor go back and forth about the matter, making me smile, as minutes before, that very same man had given me an invitation to a formal dinner arranged for Charles Bingley. Private, only handpicked students given an invitation. The best part? I was given two. One for me, and one for Jane. It was her shot. 

--

“Lydia is never going to forgive you, you know?” Jane comments as we walk into the building. 

“Oh I am sure she won’t,” I say with a smile, “be prepared to be questioned on all the specifics, even at what time Mr Bingley excuses himself to go to the loo.” 

We both laugh, handing our tickets to enter the ball. It takes me two seconds to spot one of my best friends chatting with some teachers, Charlotte Lucas. Charlotte and I did our undergrad in the same course, even though we parted ways for our masters degree. 

“Jane! Its been so long!,” she welcomes, “both of you are looking very good tonight!”

“Oh, this? Its a humbly made dress by none other than madam Jane Vennat,” I say proudly. 

Jane blushes, “you didn’t have to wear it, you know”

I turn towards her, “Jane, if I want to show you off, I WILL show you off.”

Before she can say anything my tutor approaches us, “Oh its so good to see you again, Miss Vennat! From what I have heard the university’s company is doing well!”

“You are very kind sir,” she replies. She stares at me awkwardly, not wanting to have to engage in conversation. I then do what I do best; ask simple things in a confusing manner. 

“Well, so has the elephant in the room actually arrived to the room?”

My tutor stares at me blankly. 

“Has Bingley arrived?” I say plainly. 

“Oh, no,” my tutor says with a smile, “it appears that he is a bit--

He stops talking as three people enter the room.

“aand now he’s here.”

I stare back at Bingley, not being discreet at all. He looks a bit different than when I saw him in West End. For starters, he is not a whole theater away, as the cheapest seats are those of the last rows. He is handsome, but with humble appearance; an odd quality for actors who have made it to where he has. 

“Who is the lady beside him?” Jane asks. 

“That would be his twin sister, Caroline,” my tutor answers. 

She looks a lot like her brother, save the humble appearance. Jane would know better, but the dress she wears is probably a designer one. What a waste of dress to wear for meeting a couple uni students. 

Beside them there is a third person. He doesn’t look like he could be another sibling-- he misses the distinguishable reddish hair. In contrast to Charles Bingley, who smiles as he greets anyone in his way, the man looks absolutely disgusted by the scene. 

“and who is their miserable friend who looks as if he just smelled the sewer?” I ask jokingly. 

“That, miss Bennet, that would be none other than the writer and director of the play you saw: F. William Darcy”

Arthur knows about Merlin's magic.

He also knows that Merlin is as good and loyal as they come.

So, in true prat-like fashion, he thanks Merlin in the most confounding way possible.
