Whumptober2023 Day 27/28: "You drew stars around my scars, but now I'm bleeding" | Scars || Sacrifice
İt's easier to pretend it doesn't hurt so much, if he can justify everything that happened as a "sacrifice."
Whumptober2023 Day 20: Blanket | Found Family
Yuuki waking up disoriented and exhausted after being rescued from the shed in rural Ninao. And Timothy, crying, because he'd been so afraid they'd never find him before it was too late.
(Scene from Chapter 23 of The Ninao Incident)
A Month of Whump (@amonthofwhump ) - Day 10: Polar express
Waiting for Santa | Tied to train tracks | Abducted | Comfort: Hot chocolate
Except it's not a polar express, it's an early summer express.
Whumpee has been lying there a while.
Can they even be sure a train is coming? Or have they been left tied to tracks that no train ever uses anymore? Left abandoned, left to die of dehydration unless someone or something finds them first?
Here's a WIP KK art - Story timeline wise, this is from post-KK3 (Kindall K, book 3).
Kyle has crutches and a bandage on his forehead from injuries he sustained at the end of KK3.
And Yuuki has coffee, and no sleep*.
(*caused by post traumatic stress disorder, not the caffeine).
Whumptober2022 Day 29: What doesn't kill me...
Sleep deprivation | Defiance | “Better me than you.”
What doesn't kill you, Kyle Kindall... becomes yet another thing for you to survive, and another long recovery for you to endure...
Whumptober 2022 Day 22: [Alt prompt 12] Carried to safety
Avi carrying a sleeping exhausted Kyle to safety after having rescued him.
From The Case of Kindall, K. - Chapter 26
Whumptober 2022 Day 14: Die a hero or live long enough to become the villain
Desperate Measures | Failed escape | “I’ll be right behind you.”
Recovering after being shot in the arm three times (enough to shatter it), and after an urgent surgery to remove his arm before the damage could bring on sepsis.
İt'll take a while to process what happened.
[Scene from The Case of Kindall, K.]
Whumptober 2022 No.4 Dead on your feet
Hidden Injury | Waking Up Disoriented | Can’t Pass Out
Stay awake, Yuuki. Just keep walking...until you can't anymore.
Whumpmas in July Day 9: Falling
After everything you've suffered... I hope that by the time the seasons change again, it'll be softer ground you fall on.
If it's not... I'll be there to catch you.
"You're looking better."
At least, better than how he'd looked the day before - unconscious with hypothermia, and nearing death from it.

I’m always such a sucker for when the whumpee hits that “so tired they can’t sleep” phase of an illness. every part of their body desperately needs rest, but their mind is feverish and whirling, anxious, unmoored and floating even though they’ve been stuck in bed for days. they close their eyes, but sleep doesn’t come, and they’re painfully aware of feeling too hot, too cold, too achy - too much of everything.
if there’s a caretaker, they do everything they can to make them comfortable - playing with their hair, singing them a lullaby, laying a cool cloth across their fevered forehead.
if they’re alone, they just lay there, wishing for the grey haze of unconscious to sweep them away until the wretched illness leaves them.
Yuuki enjoying the comfort of gentle warm sunlight on his shoulders...
Even if the comfort can't be felt in his soul, it's nice to be able to feel a little comfort physically ~
