Favorite comfort fic.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-20 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have a favorite comfort fic? The one you read when you're having a bad day or need a mood boost or distraction?

Related, do you have a genre you go to for comfort? The obvious would be h/c but I know that it's different for everyone.

Time Travel/Fix Fics, actually

they kill feelings of helplessness like woah

Re: Favorite comfort fic.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-20 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Depends on what's bothering me. Sometimes cute shippy fic is good, sometimes something really creepy or angsty is what I need. I can't really remember any specifics right now.

Same. Depends on the mood. Like sometimes fluff cheers me up and sometimes it just depresses me even more. Angst, fluff, fix-its, creepy messed up stuff...all is comfort for different moods.

This. And I don't have specific fics I go back and read when I need or want a certain type of fic; I'll usually just look for new stuff that fits the bill. I typically go back to read favorites whenever the feeling strikes me. (Which is usually when I've had a break from a fandom and want to familiarize myself with it again.)

Amateur Theatrics! So good to see it recced, it's the fix-it fic I didn't know I'd need when I started to delve into Kid Loki comics ;_; And it's so surprisingly in-character despite the cavities-inducing fluff (which I don't usually favor, but this one is.just.golden).

*pats shoulder* You, madamsir, rec the good shit. Now I'm off to read the other stuff you linked.

Qblackheart's "The Courtship of Jensen's Co-Star" (J2 RPS)
http://the8threalm.livejournal.com/28511.html

This fic is seriously long and yet I have re-read it more times than I can count. It's definitely one of my favorite comfort fics. Never fails to make me feel better.

basically if it's novel length and contains gay sex

[personal profile] tyger66 2013-05-20 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Lately I read "On the Wings of War" (Supernatural) : http://archiveofourown.org/works/245211/chapters/378117

or the Tricks of the Trade series (Avengers) : http://archiveofourown.org/series/19850

But most of my other favorites are kind of embarrassing, like some out-there weirdass pairings or some badly written fix-it fic. I also tend to default to some of my really REALLY old favorites from my first fandom, Harry Potter. Unfortunately, all my favorites from HP are Harry/Voldemort, which....most people would not see as comfort-fic.

You read Harry/Voldemort? Harry/Voldemort fics exists?

I did not know this, why am I surprised?

My friends and I used to call my ex he-who-shall-not-be-named, so this is doubly amusing for me

I have had Tricks of the Trade bookmarked forever. So does it have a happy ending?

There was that one Inception coffee-shop-AU fic, but I've sadly lost the link to it. :(

Basically it was just pure fluff and wildly OOC with the film, but I just really liked it ok.

I don't really have a favorite comfort fic, but epic length Snarry or K/S romance are what I look for. If I can't find new ones I like, I'll go back to the few favorites I have.

There's a very fluffy Criminal Minds series about Reid in a relationship with a fairly minor one-episode character (the bartender from "52 Pickup") and I don't know why but I really, really like it. There's nothing particular about it that stands out, it's mostly fluffy romance moments and that kind of thing, but it's just good and happy and nice and very comforting that way. I'll see if I can find a link sometime.

Quick Like a Bunny, a Sherlock gen fic where the guys from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy come to fix up 221b and help John clothes, etc. Yeah, it's sort of cracky, but it's also very sweet, with a fair bit of talk about John and Sherlock's platonic relationship (John is straight, Sherlock is asexual).

Well these are the ones I have in my favourite fanfics folder, so I guess they count? There are more, but they are hidden away in their proper folders so I can't be arsed to go looking for them...

Taming A Hawk (Clint/Coulson, The Avengers) http://archiveofourown.org/works/451462

At Least There's the Football (Mycroft/Lestrade, BBC!Sherlock) http://archiveofourown.org/series/9540
This is one of my favourite stories, actually... Not just counting fanfics.

Level 65 Paladin Looking for Group (Gen, BBC!Sherlock) http://archiveofourown.org/works/301550

Hand That Feeds (Bronn/Sandor Clegane/Bronn, GoT) http://archiveofourown.org/works/417229
I read this to remind me that I am not completely alone in this ship...

Seduction By Aviation (Martin Crieff/Tony Stark, Cabin Pressure/The Avengers) http://archiveofourown.org/series/28029

Edit: You should probably look at the ratings and/or warnings before reading them...

This Advent Children fic: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2882344/1/Eternity-Arc

It's not the best writing or characterization and I ordinarily stick to OGC fic only, but something about the low key, slice-of-life way it's written and the overall sense of acceptance throughout is just really comforting.

I'd love to find more fic that hits me the same way, but it doesn't really fit into any of the usual pigeonholes so I"m not sure how or where to look.

There's a few Pokemon fics I have a habit of reading over and over when I need cheering up. My favorite is Alphabet Soup (by Coffee Included on FFN, if anyone is interested), mostly because I love the depictions of hugs and friendship.

My favorite genre when I need comfort is friendship, although I rarely find good friendship fic so sometimes I settle for romance. Humor is good too. Anything fluffy works, really.

Romantic/angsty het fic with lots and lots of sex. Or just fic with lots and lots of sex.
