so can I just label it h/? with ? standing for "pretend there is comfort eventually? Probably?"
Hmm.
So--say you are writing a hurt/comfort. There's hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, more hurt, ooh, psychic hurt and then revenge and you think, right, time for comfort! Comfort! COMFORT AND PORN YAY! Because seriously, what the hell is the point of torture if you can't heal it with sex? Or hell, don't end it with everyone pre-suicidal? Is it that hard?
Strangely, yes, yes it is.
This story is creepy and I'm the one writing it.
Right. Writing trauma. Gah.
