About Whump
Fic that puts a character through sustained physical or emotional punishment — injury, capture, fever, collapse — with loving attention to their suffering and, usually, to the people who tend them afterward. The pain is the point, and the tag is the warning.
Whump strips a strong character down to vulnerability, and readers are drawn to what suffering reveals: who comes for them, who holds them up, and how they endure.
Common scenarios: The team medic refusing to sleep until the captain's fever breaks, or a stoic fighter hiding a wound through an entire mission until they finally drop.
