Give me whump but most important give me the comfort after the whump

Give me carrying characters to safety. Give me fighting while one is on the ground. Give me the aftermath where the rest of the cast beg their friend to wake up.

Give me soft hospital visits and silent rooms. Give me sleeping in a chair by the bedside. Sometimes resting back and sometimes falling asleep with their head tucked in their arms on the mattress.

Give me the thinking, the pondering, the “what if I’d done something different.” Give me the guilt and choking back tears because they think this is their fault.

Give me rustling on the bed and startled gasps and soft callings of “are you awake?” “Are you with us?”. Give me struggling to regain and stay conscious. Give me fading in and out. Give me bleary half lidded eyes suddenly coming open.

Give me confusion and questions, hoarse voices and gently shushing. Give me hugs and soft smiles and gratefulness they they’re still alive. Give me hand holding and quick touches, platonic, romantic, or otherwise.

Just give me the hurt but also give me the sweet soft comfort
