the crossroads of horror and hurt/comfort

Kai & Kyriel: The Crow and The Dove (warning for nsfw and sexual assault) by @there-will-always-be-blood — Fantasy whump series about a guy who escaped this all-powerful angel years ago and got recaptured. The angel wants to train him as his heir and soldier and is really decided to take away his defiance for that end. Very awesome + has art + peak writing + some more warnings for character death, grievous bodily harm and stuff. The SA chapters are also followed by a summary in the next chapter, so even if you don't read them you can still have a general idea of what happened and not miss out very much, but if that's something you'd prefer avoiding altogether then I don't recommend it because it's a reocurring thing.

Kane & Jim by @whumpsday — Although the bulk of the story happens during the recovery arc, the chapters alternate between a couple time periods and the captivity stage is also featured a lot. Human guy was captured by a vampire years ago + long after he escaped, he finds out local hunters have captured that vampire and he decides to check it out, maybe to get revenge, he isn't so sure himself. Features both the human's captivity and the vampire's time with the vampire hunters (delightfully whumpy), as well as several other time periods (including the aforementioned recovery and some backstory too).

The Last Lab Rat by @whumpy-wyrms — Lab whump story about a boy who gets kidnapped by a mad scientist that wants to do experiments on him. Features nonconsensual body modification + lovely art.

Amor Vincit Omnia by @whumpawaydarling — An all-time favorite of mine! ^_^ Normal person ends up involved with a sadistic fae who wants to make their life worse + also threatens their friends. There is some buildup before the captivity period proper, but it is a very important part of the story. Urban fantasy setting + also has some very cool side-stories focusing on the other characters + it's just really awesome.
