Every once in a while I'm down in the dumps enough to really want to read a comfort-focused fic, but other than that, I'm not normally the biggest hurt-comfort fic reader, except...
Except there's something about Flins in particular that just makes me want to see him roughed up a bit.
Wounded in a fight with the Wild Hunt and needs to be watched over while stuck in his little ball-of-fire form to heal? Adorable.
Emotionally hurt because some humans found out his secret and tried to drive him out of town for being too "monstrous"? Tell me more.
Cast out by his fellow fae for not upholding their blind worship of the imperial regime, left to fend for himself in the wilds of Snezhnaya? A+ content, keep cooking.
Sick with a "fever" that's actually Abyssal corruption and only barely found by his friends/fellow Lightkeepers in time to nurse him back to health? Oh dear oh dear, gorgeous.
Will-o-wisp gone half feral after being captured and tortured by humans for "science"? Can't even escape into his lantern for peace because they've broken it or taken it away? Sign me the hell up.
I'm sorryyyyy, Flins; I don't know why, but that unflusterable personality and that dead-eyed little pout just activates every brand of cuteness aggression known to man in me.
In this house we skip the extra warranty when we buy the floor model lamps at IKEA because scratched up is how we like them.
