The car ride is silent.
Not uncomfortable, not exactly - but thick with everything unsaid. The kind of silence that clings to skin, curls behind ears, and sinks low in the belly like a slow burn.

CM Fic Recs: Whoops, All Whump Edition
Compiled: 26/06/2025 | For @racethewind10
Whump (noun)
(Fandom Slang) The term whump (or whumping) generally refers to a form of Hurt/Comfort that is heavy on the hurt and is often found in gen stories. Whump involves taking a canon character, and placing them in physically painful or psychologically-damaging scenarios.
Whether you love fics with heavy emotional angst, or a classic hurt/comfort scenario, or even hurt/ no comfort, I've got them all. As an Architect of Angst, whump is my bread and butter when it comes to writing CM femslash. What better way to celebrate the drop of 18x08 'Tara', than to compile a list of whump recs?
I'm including who gets whumped, whether the whump is physical and/or psychological, plus I'll rate each fic on a 1-5 scale of how painful it is using the '💔' emoji.
