Hello Creator, welcome to my letter for Hurt/Comfort Exchange 2025! There are a lot of additional tags on each request so I put them under details tags to hide them unless you open the relevant section. I do prefer comfort unless otherwise specified. There are multiple fandoms repeated in the requests but only 4 fandoms overall.
Blanket DNWs: Major Character Death*, Self-harm, Suicide, Smut, Vomit, Food or Medication Allergies, Graphic Eye Injuries, Pregnancy, Genderswaps, Unrequested Romantic Relationships, Unrequested Gender/Sexuality Headcanons, Animal Abuse, Script Format
*Mentioning canon deaths is okay, but nobody should die in a gift. Near-deaths are fine
Likes: Characters already being hurt/sick, Bittersweet/Hopeful/Possibly Even Happy endings, Epistolary, N Times/N Things*, Platonic Soulmate AUs, Character Studies
*N Times Character A Protected Character B+1 Time They Didn’t, N Times Character A Got Hurt and B Comforted Them, etc. there’s so much potential here specifically. N can equal 5 but doesn’t have to!
I've organized this from least amount of requests to most amount of requests. So let's get started!
Merrily We Roll Along
Charley Kringas & Franklin Shepard (hurt Franklin), Charley Kringas & Franklin Shepard (hurt both)
I put this all in one request so you are allowed to mix and match as you please, though for some freeforms that I think fit one person being hurt more I've put it under different detail tags.
I also think Merrily with time travel would be very interesting, especially for Frank and Charley, however it plays out. Past Charley and Frank have no idea what the future holds and their future selves wouldn't want to ruin their relationship in 1950s-60s. If Past Charley and Frank went to the future (70s-80s) they would not leave until their future selves at least attempt to reconnect.

The Art of Murder
This show is fun! The characters are canonically drawings come to life if that affects how you think they would get injured/recover (I would call that xenobiology but that feels like the wrong word? Like, they're drawings of humans...)
I vaguely know each of the medias the characters are based off of. I like Sousuke having a language barrier with everyone else (clearly he can understand English but they can't understand Japanese) and I like the idea of small child Winn both having to comfort and being comforted. Albie feels like she would be very intense when her friends get hurt, especially Winn because she's a child. Hurt Sousuke

Last but certainly not least, holy shit that's a lot of freeform tags. There are only 3 relationships though, so pick whoever you want to hurt/comfort and read their sections.
Hayate & Koki: I think Koki comforting/taking care of someone would be very funny. I also think Hayate would keep going and insist he's fine when he's not.
Agata & Shion: Shion is a little guy and can tell that something is wrong and Agata doesn't want to scare Shion because he's a little guy. (Note: technically Shion's not a child but either aging him down to a small child or going "17's a child deal with it" are both fair) Also, Agata canonically secretly smokes, this can be used to effect his health.
Haruma & Saigo: Saigo is not good at realizing he's hurt/sick but Haruma is good at taking care of him and cares about him a lot. Hurt Hayate
