HARD-TO-FIND HURT / COMFORT ACTION PROMPTS.
a selection of some of my favorite underrepresented situations and actions for one of my favorite tropes! feel free to add + REVERSE to any of the prompts to change the situation and provide context as necessary. do not add to this list. Â
CRADLE : sender picks up the injured / unconscious receiver and holds them close to their chest, carrying them to safety.Â
GUARDIAN : facing down a threat, sender pushes receiver back with an arm, moving to stand in front of them and protecting them with their own body.
TENDER : receiver wakes up to sender caressing them gently; a hand carding through their hair, brushing hair off their forehead, a hand on their cheek, a thumb swiping under their eye.
SHELTER : seeing a threat barreling toward them (such as a storm, the shockwave from an explosion, or a building theyâre in collapsing), sender holds the injured / incapacitated receiver close, turning their back to the threat to bear the brunt of the impact instead of the receiver.
FLICKER : sender thinks theyâre too late to save receiver and begins to mourn them / sinks in defeat and grief, holding them close, only to find through a simple action (a cough, a twitch of a hand, a murmured word) that they havenât left them after all.Â
DELIRIUM : receiver wakes up to senderâs relief, only for receiver to not believe itâs really sender (that theyâre imagining sender or that they donât think sender would come for them) or that theyâre finally safe.Â
CONCEAL : both muses have been injured or have fallen ill, though sender keeps their injury / illness secret in favor of taking care of receiver. however, as receiver gets better, senderâs injury / illness worsens from lack of care, and they wind up collapsing, their injury / illness fully revealed.Â
GUIDE : sender has been injured, but their skills are needed to help with the musesâ current situation (an escape plan, tending a wound, or diffusing a weapon, for example). sender has to walk receiver through the procedure, all the while trying to stay conscious.Â
SAVIOR : receiver is at the mercy of a threat, and all seems lost, only for sender to suddenly burst in and come to their rescue, bearing weapons and all the protective spirit they can muster, to the relief / confusion / anger of receiver.Â
LAST RESORT : injured / sick and alone after an encounter with a threat or a run-in with a dangerous situation, sender finds themself at receiverâs door, coming to them because they have nowhere else to go.
