Dear Creator, Hurt/Comfort

[eratoschild]

Still kinda new to writing these things, thanks for reading!

 

Please note, if you are writing in the Trails fandom, I am starting off with Trails prompts, but if you are so inclined please scroll to the bottom for prompts with Hajimari spoilers. 

 

I am ok with any and all spoilers. The tags that i added to my signup were basically just to satisfy the signup requirements- fee free to use them as prompts but also feel free to forego them.

 

Trails of Cold Steel

 

Some suggestions:

 

song prompt for any romantic ship: Heart and Shoulder by Heather Nova

 

For any, romantic or platonic: Never surrender by Corey Hart, Battle Born by The Killers

 

Barkhorn &amp; Gaius:<br />

Falcom gives us so little detail of that attack on Nord and his stigma manifesting...detail it please! Gaius speaks of having accepted his death...I imagine it as a Calvard soldier about to land a fatal blow when Barkhorn pushes him away and is himself killed. I want everything- the fear, the calm that settles on him as he resolves to keep fighting until his spear falls from his hands, the shock of being pushed away, of seeing barkhorn take that blow, the stigma taking hold within him and giving him the strength to demolish at last some of the enemies that the rest retreat when they see what's happening. Give me the confusion of not really understanding what is taking place as he waits for Thomas to arrive

 

Alternatively:  all of this from Barkhorn's POV

 

Kurt/Cedric:

Hurt Cedric:

-the aftermath of CS2, before the Vanders are dismissed, Kurt knows something is seriously wrong with Cedric but doesn't know what to do and is devastated when Cedric is despondent or pushes him away<br />

-in CS4 when they have to leave Cedric unconscious with Shirley, Kurt coming back for him later and finding him still unconscious or barely conscious<br />

-canon divergence: in the same scene, Kurt insists on staying with him instead, also has to deal with shirley, maybe she wakes up before Cedric and asks Kurt why he's still there, why he even cares or something along those lines

 

Hurt Kurt: any point after the Vanders are dismissed, something serious happens to Kurt. Cedric finds out and while he's told that it's not his problem, he can't help but think that if something were to happen to Mueller, Olivert would go out of his mind trying to do something about it and that's what he should be doing here

 

While hurt both was not an option to select for Cedric/Kurt, I'd love to see these two after the vanders are dismissed and before Kurt goes to Thor's. Bonus points for a recent confession of feelings, an unresolved kiss or a very early-stage relationship being interrupted

 

Jusis/Machias: "characters know exactly how to hurt each other emotionally"- no immediate comfort required, but would prefer some indication that they will eventually be ok

 

songs for inspiration: Battlefield by Jordan Sparks, Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me by Elton John, Breakable by Fisher, Clarity by Zedd, Let’s Hurt tonight by OneRepublic, All I Know by Art Garfunkel

 

CS2, on the Courageous, late nights spent in uneasy silence because both are stressed and worried but neither can quite swallow his pride to really talk to the other

 

Laura/Emma: 

post-CS1 escaping to Legram, Laura is injured along the way and they have to stop to rest despite the danger they're in

-if Jusis is still with them, perhaps he keeps watch while Emma treats Laura and rests with her

 

AU: while I am already writing something like this myself, I would love to see a take on the story told in the song Witch of the Westmereland (or Westmoreland, depending on the version, google it if interested, there are quite a few different recordings. I personally favor the version by Maggie Drennan, though Kate Rusby’s version is particularly haunting) with Emma as the witch and Laura as the wounded knight. 

 

 

Toval/Ein: 

I just need something happening to Toval and Ein bringing the fear of Aidios and the Wrath of the First Dominion upon the responsible party. perhaps this is when feelings are realized?

 

Wallace &amp; Barkhorn: the game tells us that Wallace is a disciple of Barkhorn but never really tell us what that means. For various reasons, I suspect that Wallace is actually secretly a squire or knight of the Gralsritter and as a squire, serves/served under Barkhorn. I'd love to see this incorporated but it's not required.

 

-Wallace learning of his teacher's death is the main thing that comes to mind here. With everything going on at the time, he probably has to shelve his grief and deal later but I don't *need* it to go that way. 

 

What is his immediate reaction?<br />

What goes through his mind when Gaius walks into Juno Fortress six months later wearing a Dominion's uniform and his hair tied in the same manner as Barkhorn?

 

...or while I don't think this is likely....what if he actually didn't know that Barkhorn was dead and doesn't learn this until later, and gaius is the one to tell him?

 

alternately: pre-canon, Wallace sustains some sort of injury? something goes wrong on a mission? 

 

Wallace/Gaius: i would be ecstatic just to have something written of them.But also see the very end if you want a prompt with hajimari spoilers. Otherwise, something involving Gaius and a crisis of faith. or Anything that builds off of any of the conversations that take place between them i the games, 

 

Gaius/Wazy:  song prompts: Crossfire by Brandon Flowers, Heal the wound by Novelists, Snow on the Sahara by Anggun

 

anything to do with Wazy helping Gaius adjust to his stigma (from what we now of stigma manifestations, this seems to be an extremely traumatic and painful thing) 

 

Platonic is ok for this too, especially if it’s set very soon after Gaius’s stigma first manifests

 

-Also, Wazy would be feeling some measure of grief over Barkhorn’s death in all of this

 

see the end for hajimari spoiler prompt

 

FF7:

Angeal Hewley/Genesis Rhapsodos-for hurt both,  I imagine Angeal to be the one that Genesis trusts above all others, I’d love some quiet intimate scene between them, maybe something in the vein of “shelter from the world”, that sort of thing…anything escaping the horrors that they’ve known...but the escape is temporary/superficial 

 

Or you can have them quietly suffering together, trying to hold onto what they have, knowing it’s slipping away  

 

Or for hurt Genesis, Angeal’s POV, watching Genesis degrade, knowing that he’s following

 

 

FFXV:

Hurt Ignis -or- Noctis

bringing the wrath of the one not hurt on the responsible party

 

Hurt Noctis:

-wanting sex to distract him but not directly asking for it but Ignis knows what he wants and gives him what he needs

slow add consuming? hard and rough? something involving restraint and pain? I love knife play with Noctis receiving!

 

Hurt Ignis: 

I don't have many specific ideas, as long as it doesn't go against my DNW's I'm good.

 

 

Kushiel’s Dart: this prompt appears in my signup

 

 

Voyager: I don’t really have specific ideas here, I’m up for anything that doesn’t go against my DNW’s

 

 

Enterprise: I’m up for pretty much anything the doesn’t go against my DNW’s but if you go with any iteration of Malcolm/Hayes, I’d love to see something involving a confession or attempted confession of feelings from Hayes when he dies and Malcolm lett to deal with it afterward.

 

 

Dead Poets Society: I really want to see Charlie and Todd reconnect later. Maybe they end up attending the same university or Charlie (please let him still hold onto Nuwanda…maybe even embrace that identity more fully) seeks out Todd later, something set on an anniversary of Neil’s death perhaps and they’re both still deeply affected. 

 

 

Berseria: Please give me something with Edna in the aftermath of Eizen’s death. Forgot to mention this in my signup but please do not even hint at incest. 

 

Beyond this place there be dragons. And by dragons I mean Hajimari spoilers.

 

Kurt/Cedric: after Cedric joins Ouroboros, something happens where Kurt is seriously hurt in battle with some other enforcer. Could be any of the enforcers, but Bleublanc, Capanella or McBurn are preferred. 

 

The rest of the prompts are variations on the same theme. During then big battle on Olivert’s airship, Wazy and Gaius channel their stigmata to amplify the ship’s power. 

 

Wazy/Gaius (hurt Gaius): when they do this, Gaius comes  dangerously close to  exhausting his stigma, which we know can be fatal. He collapses before it fully drains, but he’s in bad shape. There are other dominions involved in the battle- we know at the very least that Thomas, Kevin and one unknown Dominion are there. What happens while they’re waiting for the battle to finish up and help from other dominon?

 

Wazy/Gaus (hurt both): same situation but both nearly exhaust their stigmata, though Wazy is in slightly less bad shape because he’s had far more experience with this sort of thing than Gaius.

 

Wallace/Gaius (hurt Gaius): same scenario as Wazy/Gaius (hurt Gaius) but not being a dominion himself, Wallace is unable to help. In addition, he still has to uphold his part in the battle.
