Hunted, wounded, and certain he won't survive another sunrise, a shackled man risks his life to save a widow from a violent attacker—only to find himself taken in and given the first safety he's known in years.
Warning: This will get very whumpy (in the best possible way) and there will be no cutting away from the hurt or comfort scenes. Adult themes may be touched upon in this story, these moments will be written with care and not gratuitous.
Part 1: In the Shadows - Hiding in a barn and barely clinging to consciousness, Wyatt is shackled, wounded, and running out of strength. When brutality erupts before him, instinct overpowers fear and the cost of that choice leaves him vulnerable and at the mercy of what comes next.
Part 2: A Light Across the Floor - In the aftermath of violence, Sarah is left with a shackled stranger bleeding on her barn floor. In the lantern light, fear loosens its grip, and compassion takes its place.
Part 3: The Shape of Darkness - Carried out of the cold and into the firelight, Wyatt’s true condition is finally revealed. As Sarah and her sister, Ruth, work to bathe and warm him, fear gives way to care, and every gentle touch uncovers just how much he has endured.
Part 4: A Quiet Made of Light - In a fevered state lost between pain and memory, Wyatt clings to a steady voice and gentle hands as comfort slowly pulls him back into the light.
I do not mean to dump so many stories out there. I guess I’m trying to organize my google docs. I hope I don’t overwhelm anyone. This story marinated in my mind for so long after reading @secretwhumplair’s The Monster of Lindborough. Oh my goodness, that story gave me the whumperflies so bad (or good, I should say)! This story is my thanks to the whump community for the many rainy Sunday mornings that I had nothing to do and found a wonderful whump story to read.
…
May has been a sheep shearer in the mountains for twenty years now after she left her home in the seaside. After losing her sled to a friend, May is gifted a slave who comes to her sick and numb. May must either become his ally or continue turning a blind eye to the abuse the slave suffers at the hands of her village. Story line exists but is very whump focused.
TW: male whump, slavery, whipping, torure, rape, aftermath of wounds, recovery, reluctant caretaker at first, unedited...sorry, some chapters are NSFW* (18+ please)

Kiri learned from a young age to keep her head down; Anden knows the key to his survival is to never back down from a fight. But when they are chosen to serve as the next year's sacrifice to the god Vato in the yearly Midsummer's Day ritual, they'll need to work together if they want to escape their fate.
Part I - Kiri is brought before the High Priest Emitis and consecrated to serve as the coming year's Vessel of Purity.
Part II - Anden begins to learn the painful way what it means to be the Vessel of Sin.
Part III - As Kiri is prepared for her first Holy Day procession, she struggles with the knowledge that her actions have consequences.
Part IV - The physical pain that Anden has been made to endure is nothing compared to the emotional pain of public humiliation.
Watch your kingdom die. Betray what’s left to save your life.
Danelor was a peaceful country, a land of poets and musicians. Insignificant. Defenseless.
The merciless invaders swept in from the north and claimed it for their empire. They burned the farms and tortured the survivors for their entertainment. Their cruel soldiers slaughtered every last soul in the royal palace… except Miranelis, a cowardly clerk hiding in a pantry, too afraid to fight.
To Kezul, the disgraced son of the northern emperor, Danelor is a test. If he can keep control of the devastated land, he will not be stripped of his birthright. But he was only taught to conquer, not to rule.
Miranelis, now his captive, may not have the stomach for battle, but they understand the intricacies of rule. But they have no reason to help the conquerors who destroyed everything they loved.
So Kezul will have to give them one.
---
Conquest is no-magic fantasy whump with a royal whumper, a fearful but quietly defiant nonbinary whumpee, degradation, cultural differences, fantasy politics, and an intense and complicated relationship between whumper and whumpee (no romance).
It will also involve major character death, so steer clear if that’s not for you.
This story will be novel-length, with a planned 32 chapters. Updates twice a week. Ask to be added to or removed from tag list.
Chapters
Chapter 1: The Coward
Here from a reblog? Here's the most recent version.
He said he’d die for his cause. But death would be easy compared to what awaits him…
Wraith was born for battle, and his calling found him early, when he took up arms against Earth’s invading soldiers. He’s left a trail of blood in his wake, and he has no regrets. He will sacrifice anything to protect the Martian rebellion—and the man he loves.
Isadora, the head of Earth’s brutal security forces on Mars, sacrificed every shred of humanity in her heart long ago. If she can destroy the rebellion, it will be worth the cost.
Now Wraith is handcuffed to a chair in Isadora’s interrogation room, with nothing but his razor-edged wit and his mask of arrogance between him and the annihilation of everything he holds dear.
Isadora plans to strip away every one of his defenses. He represents her chance to vindicate every sacrifice she’s made—because if she breaks him, she ends the rebellion.
But his fraying resistance hides more secrets than she knows. And what he’s holding back has the power to undo her.

Martyr is sci-fi interrogation whump (light on the tech, heavy on the war crimes), with a defiant whumpee, a cold female whumper, torture, emotional whump, and devastating personal realizations on both sides. This story is novel-length, and is complete at 30 chapters. Many of the chapters are whumper POV.
The story is best read in order, but if you just want a quick whump fix and don’t necessarily need to understand what’s going on, might I suggest:
- Chapter 5 (interrogation, broken fingers)
- Chapter 14 (interrogation, forced to watch, non-fatal stabbing)
- Chapter 16 (forced to watch, fatal beating, begging)
- Chapter 19 (interrogation, forced to watch, hand stabbing)
- Chapter 24 (severe beating, out-of-control whumper)

The Jackal of An-Nadr follows the capture of Nadeem, a date-farmer turned thief who was abandoned in the wastes of the desert when he tried to pick the wrong pocket.
Stranded and alone, he is found and enslaved by a crew of ifrit—towering demons that now roam the An-Nadr in ships that can sail the sand. Will he become a plaything of the creatures from his nightmares? Or is there something more for him waiting in the hands of his would-be captors?

Your days of working against us are over, little spy. Now your death will fuel our magic.
Kira was the kingdom’s foremost clandestine agent. Now she’s a disgraced laughingstock.
She tried to tell her superiors what she had discovered: that the death-fueled magic of a thousand years ago had returned to the world… brought back by their supposed allies. They laughed at her for believing in children’s stories. They ordered her to keep her mouth shut and toe the line. She refused.
But she was right. She’s found the proof.
The ancient city, buried beneath the sand so its bloody secrets could never be used again.
The weapon that can level a city… as long as it has the proper fuel: a human body tortured into submission, a human soul burned away to nothing.
The shy but fanatical researcher who can’t wait to take Kira apart to test her new toy.
Piece. By. Piece.
And she’ll smile while she does it.
But the mission isn’t over. Victory is still possible. Even if the cost is her soul.

His past, present, and future belong to this enigmatic sorcerer. But that does not mean he has stopped looking for the right opportunity to change his fate.
