Uhhhh...no? Do you even know what hurt/comfort is? It's a story about one character getting hurt and another character comforting him or her.

You know, like what happens ALL THE TIME in real life. And even more all the time in original canon fiction.

You could say that all the hurt/comfort fic you've seen is OOC and cliched, but "by its nature"? That doesn't even make the slightest bit of sense.

Unless the canon is focused on people doing nothing but cuddling and ooo-ing over boo-boos, then it is inherently OOC.

1. Not all hurt/comfort is people cuddling and oohing over boo-boos. It's usually people comforting their friend after getting shot or raped or otherwise seriously injured or emotionally devastated.

2. Um, what? So, if a canon isn't 100% focused on nothing but romance, a romantic fic in that fandom would be OOC? If a canon isn't 100% focused on comedy, a comedic fic in that fandom would be OOC? If a canon isn't 100% focused on characters dying, a deathfic in that fandom would be OOC? What is wrong with writing a fic about the 5% or 10% of the canon dedicated to someone supporting an injured friend?

I'm hoping you're trolling, because I really don't want any human being to be THAT idiotic.

Oh, I see, you're a troll. Welp, never mind :)

Re: Fanfics

This is my point. I want more H/C that doesn't do this, but this is what a lot of it is, regardless of what the trauma itself actually is.

Like, there's more to comfort than ooo-ing over boo-boos and stuff, and I want to see that explored rather than reading a story that's entirely based around the soppy, gushy parts. I don't want it soppy, I want characters reacting to fucked up things in their own in character ways, and their friends supporting them - but also in character!

Unfortunately, it's very, very hard to find, hence why I said I'd like it to exist.

da

It's...really not very hard to find. Good h/c exists is very large quantities. Gushy, soppy h/c is the bottom of the barrel stuff that's usually easily ignored. Maybe you're just in the wrong fandoms?

Re: Fanfics

Both sorts exist in massive quantities, and while easy to discern from summary, it gets depressing to be trudging through page after page after page of h/c gooshing to try and find something that isn't. Its drowning out everything else just through sheer volume ratios. Especially on AO3 where the out of control tag problem has resulted in H/C, usually of the skeeviest sort, turning up in every search no matter how unrelated you try to make the search terms.
