Whump Book Recs (Fantasy Edition)

For @whumpdoyoumean but you all can enjoy it too 🥰 This is mix of YA, New Adult, and Adult fantasy. I mostly read YA and NA to be completely honest but I've included a mix. These are by no means niche recs, theyre mostly fairly popular or famous. I'm gonna limit myself to 5 and give a little info about each. If anyone has any specific questions about any of these feel free to DM me.

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

First book in NA fantasy trilogy but can be read as standalone, fantastic whump for main character Kel who is an orphan with extremely rare and othering magic who is raised by the royal family in his country with no memory of his life before living with them. He can travel between 4 parallel dimensions and gets caught up in cross-dimensional crime with people who are much more fucked up and powerful than him. Super fun world building, interesting characters on all sides of the conflict, my beloved, have reread multiple times just because it's so good. Notable whump tropes: stabbed, choking on blood, drugged

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch 

First book in adult fantasy series (3 books so far and they come out insanely slow, you can also read the first and be done if you want). Not urban fantasy but very grounded with super interesting world building. Tons of emotional and physical whump for the main character Locke who is a Gentleman Bastard (a thief and con artist who pulls high risk high reward jobs on rich marks because they can blend in with the upper class). Someone makes a power grab in the cities underworld and Locke gets caught in the crossfire. Fantastic thriller, phenomenal supporting cast (I love these boys so bad), extremely funny, Locke is not a fighter but that doesn't stop him from getting in to fights.  Notable whump tropes: drugged, beaten, stabbed

White Cat by Holly Black

First book in a YA urban fantasy crime/mystery trilogy (rest of the series is take it or leave it). The main character Cassel is the only non magic user "worker" in a family of workers. Working is outlawed/regulated so Cassel's family put their talents to use working for an organized crime family. Cassel is kicked out of school which leads him to having to stay with his family and he starts to notice some things about them that don't add up and have dire implications. There is great emotional and physical whump for Cassel and the magic system is super interesting and has gnarly consequences for the people who use it. I've been rereading this book since I was a teenager and I personally think it totally holds up. Notable whump tropes: nightmares, psychological/magical manipulation, beaten

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

First book in an NA urban fantasy mystery trilogy (third book not out yet) about a woman who can see ghosts getting inducted to the elite magical underbelly of Yale University and its secret societies. Some unknown thing happens to her mentor before the start of the book and Alex investigates despite being told to leave it alone. Technically the whump is Lady!Whump but honestly when it comes to reading a book (as opposed to watching something) I'm pretty gender apathetic because there isn't the same visual component as with tv/film that can squick me out when it comes to Lady!Whump. That being said oh my god she gets so fucked up and they utilize magical healing so well to get away with doing a debilitating or lethal amount of damage because they can heal her up and get her back on her feet but it is costly and extremely unpleasant. Some people say this book is really slow I think those people are boring and don't understand the ✨vibes✨. This book has some extremely salvageable flaws but imo slowness isn't one of them. Notable whump tropes: beaten, painful magical healing, magically attacked

Last but not least is a book that is very complex to recommend. 

Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat

Adult fantasy (no magic or magical creatures) romance (eventually), technically a trilogy but they're super short and really just one book split into three parts. The first book in the series especially has some non-con elements, which is generally something I avoid, but which, in this case, is baked into the fabric of the culture and the two main characters relationship to each other in a way that I think is extremely nuanced and interesting and thematically relevant but also if you don't want to read that I get it. That being said this book is genuinely one of the best, most intricate and tightly plotted books I've ever read. Genuinely phenomenal. It's about Damen, a prince set to inherit his throne until he is betrayed by his brother and gifted (in disguise) as a slave to the prince of an enemy nation as part of a peace treaty. He must keep his identity a secret or risk punishment at the hands of his greatest enemies. I thought this book was gonna be silly smut when I read it for a book club but not only was it not particularly smutty (like 3-4 sex scenes in the entire trilogy which are all character studies) but the writing was so good 😭. That being said this book is so hard and complicated to recommend (despite being one of my favorite books I've read in the last 5 years) because it looks like silly smut (silly smut is valid queens I'm not yucking the smut) but is plotted like a fantasy political thriller and is thematically dark/complex. The whump is crazy good too but like it would be irresponsible to say that without giving context.  Notable whump tropes: held captive, whipped, psychological whump

Let me know if you guys would be interested in seeing more of these, I uh I read a lot 😅

[callisto-writes]

that moment after a character has been stabbed, when all they can do is stand there, a hand slowly going to their wound. they look up at their attacker, unable to speak. maybe they collapse to their knees, blood seeping through their shirt. they lift their hand from the stab wound, staring at the blood coating their hand, before the world goes dark.

writing this gave me an urge to revisit my sweet man, one of my first ever ocs... let me know if you guys are interested in a potential little story

content: knives, stabbed, nonhuman whumper, demon whumper, pet whump, implied kidnapping

"Ugh, fuck," the man on the sidewalk, lying in a puddle of what seemed to be his own blood, groaned. "I can't believe this..."

They didn't know whether to go closer. They wanted to help, of course, but something in their gut told them this man didn't get stabbed for no reason. What an awful thought. Also, that seemed to be a lot of blood for any regular human to bleed... And if this man wasn't a human...

"Are you a demon?" they asked, voice quivering a little.

"I have a fucking knife stuck in my back, and several more stab wounds that I'm bleeding profusely from, and this is your first question?" he snapped, and they took a step back. He wasn't dying. Whatever this man was, he wasn't dying.

"Are you or are you not a demon?" they repeated, trying to sound firm.

"Why, if I am, you'll just get the knife out of my back and stab me a few more times with it?" He suddenly started coughing, and copious amounts of blood came out of his mouth, tainting his teeth and the asphalt below.

They had never seen a demon before. Or never realised it, at least. They wanted to run, but morbid curiosity got the better of them; they stayed, watching as the thing masquerading as human slowly got to his feet and started trying to get the knife out of his back.

No, this wasn't a demon. Not a full-blooded one, at least. Those were rare to come by, they mostly resided in hell. This one had to be a half-blood. Less powerful, but still plenty scary for the average human. They watched. Observed.

"First, that dumb witch shows up," he growled, "then, the little pet incubus I've been training for months turns on me and stabs me, then the two of them run off into the sunset... And now this? A human, just staring at me? Interviewing me about my bloodline?" He finally managed to grasp the handle of the knife and pulled it out. More blood hit the sidewalk, and for a moment, he looked like he might pass out. His eyes rolled back, he stumbled, almost dropping the knife, but then he steadied himself, panting a little.

"What witch?" they asked, unsure why. It wasn't like they knew many witches. A name wouldn't help them. "What incubus?"

"Well, no matter," the man said, wiping the blade on his pants, leaving streaks of blood on the fabric. "My pet might've run off, but you seem like a fun time."

Their heart was beating out of their chest. A demon, taking interest in them? This wasn't good. They should've run long ago. They felt like they were rooted to the spot.

"Tell me, are you just a plain old human? Boring as can be?" He dragged his bleeding body towards them, and they backed up in equal measure. Maybe they could still run. Maybe they could outrun a wounded demon. "Sometimes we need plain. As a palate cleanser. Say, have you ever had a broken bone? Anywhere in your body. Doesn't need to be big, just something to require a cast."

"N-No," they stammered, eyeing the knife he was waving around as he talked.

"No? This is like fucking a virgin, then."

Suddenly, he stopped dragging himself. He was immediately in front of them, so quickly that they couldn't follow his movements. The blade was at their throat, and they could feel it digging into their skin as they swallowed.

"My name's Dmitry," he said with a bloody smile. "I'd ask you yours, but honestly, I really don't care. Tell me," he leaned in, whispering in their ear, "do you scream pretty?"
