phantomtomatoI wrote one treat for the recently-revealed Hurt/Comfort exchange this year:
To Be Haunted, One Need Not Be a House
AO3
The Attic - A. M. Burrage, Stanley Forbes/Derek Wilson, 2.9k, Explicit
This fic is based on a ghost story with a charming reading available on YouTube. I listened to it, thought it was indeed great fic fodder, and put together this treat back in April. I hadn’t planned on waiting so long for reveals!
There’s a lot for me to love here: the interwar era, the potential for a reunion between the characters, the deep empathy that Stanley has when watching adolescent Derek react to the trauma of having seen a ghost. The hurt/comfort theme was perfect for them. This has definitely opened me up to reading more old ghost stories, which I’ve started doing, but the slashiness in this one has proven unbeatable so far. :)
