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.
Hurt Franklin Bad Day that gets worse until minor thing makes character break down in tears, Character A actually hates Character B; also insists on providing comfort, Character A grudgingly receiving comfort and Character B enthusiastically giving it, Character A helps or comforts Character B even though they think B hates them, Character A insists they hate Character B; also insists on providing comfort, character A is a time traveler and character B finds out, Character A is unable to tell Character B the truth about something important, Character A wants Character B to be a past version of themselves, Character has a hangover, Character has The Most Dramatic Reaction to a papercut possible, character is slandered by friends/colleagues, Character who is clearly not fine insists they are fine, Sick/hurt character usually never complains; mild complaint from them is a sign they feel really bad, Snarky comfort

Wakes up in a world where they dont, Worried third party calls sick/hurt character's close friend

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 Battle - Battle injuries pile up over time, Character A Comforts Character B After Character B Has a Horrible Nightmare, Character A doesn't know how to comfort Character B, Character A is surprised when Character B wants their help and not someone else's, Character A is unable to tell Character B the truth about something important, Character A Sings a Silly Song to Comfort Character B, Character A tries to hide injuries or pain from Character B due to pride, Character Finally gets a Hug, Character has The Most Dramatic Reaction to a papercut possible, Character hiding an injury gets caught holding/clutching their injury or wound, Character is unconscious with very shallow/barely noticeable breathing, Character stupidly and stubbornly stoic, Character trying to hold it together is clearly fraying at the edges, Character who has never been sick gets sick; does not handle it well, Comfort via food and cooking, Crying in front of people that you never wanted to see you cry, Graphic depictions of hugging for a character who thinks they are unlovable, Homesickness, A hiding injury because they don't want to seem weak, Hurt character has to lean on smaller character(s) to get around, Independent character is ashamed to need help, Injured Character has amnesia and only trusts character B, Language Barrier causes hurt character difficulties in receiving aid, Magically de-aged character receives comfort they were too proud to ask for as an adult, Nonverbal Comfort, Oversensitivity to light, Sick/hurt character usually never complains; mild complaint from them is a sign they feel really bad, Technically awful attempts at comfort are actually comforting, Touch-Averse Hurt A Must be Repeatedly Touched For Wound Care; B is Careful and Understanding, Usually stoic character is uncharacteristically clingy and transparent during a fever
Hurt Winn Character A Comforts Character B After Character B Has a Horrible Nightmare, Character A drops the lighthearted facade when Character B is in danger, Character A is extremely dramatic about minor illness/injury; B comforts them anyway, Character A Sings a Silly Song to Comfort Character B, Character Finally gets a Hug, Character has a history of pretending to feel better than they do, Character has The Most Dramatic Reaction to a papercut possible, Character too sick to walk; has to be carried, Character who has never been sick gets sick; does not handle it well, Comfort via food and cooking, A copes badly with B being injured, Gentle acts of caretaking, Homesickness, Laughter and levity as a way of forgetting about horrible things for a moment, Nonverbal Comfort, Oversensitivity to light, Platonic Bedsharing for Comfort, Staying awake to watch over hurt character, Usually Lighthearted Character Struggling to Keep Their Mask Up When Injured

Power Rangers SPD

It's the year the things are happening! This show is great I like it a lot.

Ride Kamens

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.

Dear Creator,

I hope this letter finds you well and isn’t actually unsent (lol). This is my letter for Unsent Letters Exchange, though you do not need to write letters (though that is on most requests) and they don't have to be actually unsent (though some probably lend themselves to having messages being unsent/unseen by the recipient better than others).

I accept treats!
 And if you want to use special formatting or workskins to make it look like an epistolary format, that's also cool!

Blanket DNWs: Major Character Death*, Smut, Graphic Blood/Injury, Pregnancy, Genderswap, Script Format outside of epistolary sections, Mentions of Covid-19, Unrequested Romantic Relationships, Unrequested Gender/Sexuality Headcanons, Animal Abuse.
*Mentioning canon deaths/near-deaths is okay, but nobody should die in a gift.
I also DNW Modern AUs for Merrily We Roll Along, but not for other fandoms. I also DNW Human AUs for Zenkaiger, which basically means to keep Stacey half-human and any kikainoid characters who come up nonhuman.

General Likes: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Pre-Canon/Backstory, N Times/N Things, Platonic Soulmate AUs, Character Studies

Now onto the requests!


Zenkaiger
Formats: Letters/Emails/Audio or Video Message Transcripts, Texts and Social Media

Post-canon travelling to parallel universes is fun but not required!

Kaito & Stacey: I feel like Kaito must send Stacey letters/emails/messages all the time, even if Stacey doesn't consider him a friend (yes, even during canon. Kaito just needs to acquire Stacey's contact info somehow). I think Stacey would see/receive his contact, though if he replies and what happens next is up to you.

Flint & Stacey: What? They should interact more! I think whoever first reaches out would start relatively professional/formal and then over time they would be more casual and send memes to each other and stuff. The work should still have a plot, but like, the tone doesn't have to be strict, you know?

Tribe Nine
Formats: Letters/Emails/Audio or Video Message Transcripts, Texts and Social Media

Sui & Tsuki & Yo: Childhood friends! Oh, but one went missing...oh, then I guess his friends couldn't contact him for 2 years...and Tsuki had Yo's phone for at least part of that time, so she could see any messages/notifications for him if she looked.

So yeah. I'm most interested in Sui and Tsuki's attempts to contact Yo while he's missing, and Yo having no idea about it/being unable to reply (Lady Goddess probably hid their messages or something). Yo also doesn't remember Sui and Tsuki when he meets them for the first time in-game but like, did he make any attempt to contact them when he first got to the village? Though they probably didn't receive them.

I have finished chapter 2 of the story and have seen the anime, so if you want to write something set during canon don't worry about spoilers. I'm using this channel to rewatch the story. They're currently on chapter 1 and seem to be posting every two days. (You can definitely watch someone else play it, or do so yourself, but this one has no commentary, minimal gameplay, and videos are imo a manageable length.)

Kuuga
Formats: Letters/Emails/Audio or Video Message Transcripts, Journals and Diaries, Texts and Social Media

Minori & Yusuke, Godai & Ichijou, Godai & None:

The final episode of Kuuga makes me want to explode because what do you mean nobody knows where Godai is? Like obviously he's fine and he's just travelling but does anyone try to contact him? Does he ever try to contact anyone? Once early social media/texting/email exists and becomes more common does it make keeping in contact with him easier or harder? (Godai Yuusuke, sign up for MySpace or whatever)

Minori and Ichijou were selected because I like them most and didn't want to do &Any, but no preference between the two of them. Alternatively, Godai might just be living his best life, keeping a casual diary or posting occasionally on social media.

Merrily We Roll Along
Formats: Books and Articles, Journals and Diaries for Mary & None. Letters/Emails/Audio or Video Message Transcripts for all other relationship tags.

For the record, post-canon is fine, but making an AU where the main play is set in more modern times (2000s-present) isn't. That is an interesting concept, but not something I want in a gift right now.

Mary & Charley & Frank, Charley & Frank: How are things with them? I think in 1957 they would all write to each other a lot (and call, and see each other in person) but as time goes on they would be busier (and have less time to do so) and also might not want to as much, particularly between Charley & Frank. I hope they still send Christmas cards and happy birthday cards anyway, even if they don't talk much otherwise.

Frank & Frank Jr: So like, does Frankie talk to his dad after the divorce? Does he ignore all attempts of contact? Does Frank make any attempts to contact him (or is he too busy with work or whatever to spend time connecting with his son)? I feel like there's a lot of potential angst here and Frankie Jr. isn't in the show enough, especially not when he's older.

Mary & None: She's a writer! She writes things! Let's see some of her writing! (books/articles/things for the public, a private journal/diary, or both. Is her writing style different for both?) These can be about her thoughts on other characters and events (especially for a journal/diary) but should be written by Mary.

Thank you very much for writing for me! I’m excited to see what you make!

This is a summary of the stage show and live show of Ride Kamens: The Stage, performed in Tokyo from January 11-January 25 and Osaka from January 30-February 2, 2025. I don’t speak Japanese but I did watch a performance (two, actually! January 25 at 1 PM and February 2 at 12 noon) and rewatched them a few times via the archived streams. I wrote this before the Osaka February 2 stream archives became inaccessible on February 16.
 
The show is approximately 3 hours long- 2 hours for the main story/play and 40 minutes for the live show, with an intermission in between. The entire thing is in-character (of course for the first part, that’s just how plays work, but they’re still in-character for the live show performance.) minus the bows and stuff at the very end. If you want to read about the premium stage, you can read about it here.
 
The characters in the show are Justice Ride (Mikami Saigo, Iori Haruma, Fukami Shion, Gamo Jigen), MadGuy (Araki Kyosuke, Agata Matsunosuke, Kamui Narushi), Takato Uryu (note: Uryu is not a Kamen Rider in this show), Aijo Leon, Kuon Shunto (character exclusive to the stage show, has not been in the game), a few background characters (other students at the academy, members of Chaosism,) and the Agent. The audience collectively is the Agent, so there’s effectively no fourth wall- they don’t acknowledge the Agent super often but they establish that you are the Agent at the start of the show.
 
The plot of the main show is below. Obviously contains spoilers.ExpandRead more... )

This is a summary of the second half of the show, the dancing and singing portion. This portion is still in character, besides the bows and stuff at the end, but interacts with the audience a lot more. If you want to read about the main stage show/plot, you can read about it here.

There is a 20-minute intermission between the stage show and Premium Stage. This is a lot of time if you're an audience member (it goes by slowly) and probably never enough if you're a cast/staff member (it goes by quickly). The live show performance is different depending on the exact performance, though the order of songs is always the same. Kuon Shunto is not present in this portion of the show, though he is in the bows at the end.
 
Leon comes out and introduces himself as the MC for the Premium Stage. He teaches the audience four call and response chants ("Kamen!" "Rider!" "Justice!" "Ride!" "Mad!" "Guy!" "Takato!" "Uryu!" Actually he doesn't explicitly teach the last one, at least at the shows I saw he just says "Takato!" And the audience automatically responds "Uryu!")
 
After practicing the calls and responses, all the characters (minus Leon and Shunto) perform the first song, GET BACK!! The STAGE Vers (Version). The characters have microphones during this song but they’re just props- they still have the mics on their face from the main stage show, because the handheld mics aren’t used for any other songs.
 
Everyone (except Leon, who's in his regular clothes) is wearing dance clothes, generally consisting of shorts with leggings underneath or long pants and plain shirts with jackets over top. Main characters are wearing outfits with the colour they are associated with (for example, Haruma's outfit is black with red highlights) but backup dancers wear just black and white. There are no backup dancers for the first song, they have enough people constantly moving around already.
 
Next is Justice Ride’s song, Ride or Die!. MadGuy and Uryu exit the stage (and take the prop mics with them). They have four backup dancers. During most songs (but not the first song, or I didn't notice them because they weren't in frame long enough), the lyrics appear on the screen behind everyone. Due to the camera constantly changing angles (and also the fact that I can't read Japanese very well, but that's just me) these lyrics are not super helpful to people watching via streaming.
 
Next is MadGuy’s song, MADGUY PRIDE. It starts as soon as Justice Ride leaves. They are joined by four backup dancers. Kamui Narushi and Araki Kyosuke don't argue during this song (which is like 4 minutes long). Good for them, lol.
 
After that, Leon waits for all the main characters to get back onstage before announcing the show’s shuffle unit. The shuffle unit is the pair that will perform the third song, 君がいるから (Kimi ga iru kara - translates to Because I have you). They announced the pairs on social media in advance (so if you could go in person and wanted to see a specific pair presumably you could buy a ticket after the announcement.) The pairs at the shows I saw were Haruma & Shion on January 25 at 1 PM and Haruma & Matsunosuke on February 2 at 12 noon. You can read what each of the units were here.
 
There are two moments I want to highlight here that happened on different performances. On the January 25 show that I saw, Leon was announcing the unit (Haruma & Shion) and accidentally called Shion by Shion (instead of Fukami) and apologized immediately. Shion was fine with it because of course he was. And on the February 2 performance, before announcing the pair for the unit, Shion got the audience to do the call and responses, with "Takato!" "Uryu!" being last. Uryu was pleasantly surprised, probably not expecting it because he's not a Rider.
 
After announcing the pair (accompanied by an image), Leon asks both characters to stand center stage and asks them to come up with a unit name that represents them both. These names can be thought of quickly (Haruma came up with "Leaders" for himself and Agata very quickly and nobody argued) or take a moment (Haruma & Shion were struggling to think of something, then Saigo said that Haruma’s omurice is tasty, which led to their unit name being "Kitchen Boys"). Agata takes off his jacket before his performance, though his shirt is long-sleeved. Only the unit is onstage for this song.
 
Next is Leon's song, Perfect Assistant. I think they placed it here so that no matter who was in the shuffle unit they would have time to prepare for the final song. Before the dance starts, he teaches the Agent a call and response that applies to only this song. The phrase is 「スーパー執事!」(Su-pa shi-su-ji! Meaning "Super Butler!") Once the audience knows the call and response, the song starts, and Leon has four backup dancers join him.
 
Everyone changes back into their regular clothes for the final song, With My Reason. It kind of seems this song being performed was a surprise to Leon, because he was ready to wrap up. Jigen also seems embarrassed/unwilling to perform this song but does so because his teammates want him to (Shion tells him to do it.) The final song is sung by all of the main cast (minus Kuon Shunto) and has a moment that depends on the show you're seeing- for instance at the January 25 show I saw, Narushi blows a kiss to the audience (and Kyosuke gags/rolls his eyes in the background.) On February 2, Saigo says 「エージェント、いつも本当ありがとう」 "Agent, itsumo honto arigato" (Agent, thank you so much for everything).
 
The very final bows are done by everyone. First are the ensemble/background performers, followed by Kuon, Uryu, and Leon, followed by MadGuy, followed by Shion, Haruma, and Jigen, followed by Saigo alone, and ends with everyone bowing together. (In stage performances, bows typically have the ensemble/background performers first, and end with the main/lead character.)

Everyone leaves the stage but return a moment later, still in costume but not in character. They bow again and Kizu Tsubasa (Mikami Saigo) appoints someone else to talk to the audience. On the January 25 show I saw it was Hirose Tomoki (Aijo Leon) and on the February 2 I saw it was Kawakami Shouta (Araki Kyosuke). After that, everyone thanks the audience and bows, and then the show is over. There is also about 5 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage for each streamed performance. On the January 25 show I saw it was mostly rehearsal footage, like practicing lines and blocking, and on the February 2 show I saw it was a roundtable type of video of some of the actors addressing the viewers and thanking them for their support.

And then the show is over. The stream fades to a screen thanking you for watching, and it streams for a few more minutes but there are no new visuals or audio.

These names are the unit/pairing names for the song 君がいるから (Kimi ga iru kara - translates to Because I have you). Different pairs performed depending on the show, but three pairs repeated (with different unit names each time):
  • Mikami Saigo & Araki Kyosuke (January 13 at 1 PM and January 30 at 6:30 PM)
  • Fukami Shion and Gamo Jigen (January 18 at 6 PM and February 1 at 1 PM)
  • Agata Matsunosuke and Takato Uryu (January 19 at 1 PM and January 31 at 2 PM)
Thank you to alumi_hal for compiling all the unit names in Japanese! (@alumi_hal どうもありがとうございます!) I used google translate to translate the text and then asked ysterrd for help on names and explanations that didn’t make sense when put through google translate. I (27twinsister) didn’t come up with these names, the Ride Kamens: The Stage characters/cast did, and ysterrd gave his own interpretation/localizations for a few.
