Hurt/comfort

[minacia]

It’s a tag on ao3 but I’m not sure the best way to explain it...

 

[OkuraTsukiko]

I have seen enough fics in ao3 to see where this is going. It's quite difficult to explain it fully for me

Seeing as there is a tag "Hurt no Comfort", I'm going to say that "Hurt/Comfort" is when somebody is hurt in some way and there is at least a positive character (or element) that are there for them to get through this pain.

I have elements of it in my stories, but does a "hurt/comfort" have the entire plot revolving around that? I feel that it does.

Another tag for Masochist?

Not really. Most cases that I’ve read deal with emotional hurt

From TVTropes

Also known as "whump", a Hurt/Comfort Fic is a Fan Fic about comforting one who is hurt. Usually based on either Break The Stoic or Break the Cutie, often to the point of Woobiefication: a regular character is damaged, either emotionally or physically, and another character (usually the character's partner, love interest, a teammate, or a Mary Sue) must comfort them. This comfort can become… intense. Alternatively, the author can create a Sympathetic Sue to get damaged so the author's favorite canon character can comfort him/her. A story can take place after specific episodes or installments of canon, or else the writer creates a new predicament.

Lot of masochists are into emotional pain and humiliation.
