Why Hurt/Comfort Spones Fanfiction Works So Well
Spock/Leonard McCoy — The Enterprise's Vulcan and its irascible doctor have bickered about logic versus feeling since 1966, a sparring match fandom reads as decades of devotion in disguise. McCoy carrying Spock's living soul in his head canonically sealed the bond.
Hurt/Comfort — One character is hurt (physically or emotionally) and another provides comfort and care.
They argue because it is the only language both speak fluently, and neither would survive losing the argument partner. The vulnerability, the tenderness, seeing characters take care of each other in their worst moments. That's why hurt/comfort Spones fanfiction is one of the most consistently popular combinations on AO3.
