personally, i like it

[kaijinscendre]

I get it. I want AT LEAST 25% comfort. Though, I prefer 50% hurt and 50% comfort.

[(Anonymous)]

My standards for hurt are a lot higher than my standards for comfort, but if the hurt is really, really, really well done, I can eat it up no matter how long it goes.

[philstar22]

This is me too. I prefer a 50/50 balance. And the thing is, for me the comfort has to work as well as the hurt. It can't just be stuck in at the end. Healing takes work. I don't mind a bittersweet ending where the healing has just begun. But a pseudo-happy enduing where we go from total hurt to everything is totally fine with nothing showing us how that happened? That I'm not a fan of. I want to actually see the comfort.

maybe find a pairing who's backstory isn't 90% angst then?

[tabaqui]

Ah, thanks, Anon - that's a great looking secret off my comment, and the art's delightful! :D

Different fandom, but I remember a fic where the protagonist was bullied to the point of psychological torture, and nearly died, and then at the end his bullies stood around his hospital bed and said "Sorry we nearly killed you even though you brought it on yourself by being annoying". And the protagonist just went "okay, I will stop being annoying:)"
AND THIS WAS PRESENTED AS A HAPPY ENDING.
I did actually leave a comment on that I've, but I think about a hundred other people beat me to it... Anyway, at least the author removed the "hurt/comfort" tag.

*on that one
Not "on that I've"

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, what the hell? Can I ask what pairing/fandom that was?

[(Anonymous)]

It was Dragon Age: Inquisition.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt
Yikes. It's kind of sad that I can 100% accept that a fic like that existed for DA:I.

[(Anonymous)]

it depends on how it's done for me, if a ship spends most of the time together in the fic and get together at the end i'll be fine with it. but if they're largely separate and only get together in the last paragraph then i do find that annoying.

i like angst, but i need more than a couple of layoff.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not in the fandom but for me the pining/angst/etc is kind of the best part. I do want the four paragraphs of being together for closure, but unless I perceive the characters as already being in "old married couple" mode in canon, I'm rarely too interested in what comes after the honeymoon phase for them.

[(Anonymous)]

Seconded. Domesticity and fluff are not something I've ever been heavily interested in.

[(Anonymous)]

This is why I don't read Steve/Bucky as much as I ship it.
