hurt/comfort bingo

[arduinna]

It's hc_bingo time again! Last year got completely away from me, and once again I thought I should just throw in the towel, but what the heck. There was no penalty for not writing last year, so why not. I squinched my eyes up a bit and decided not to veto anything, and got this:

severe / life-threatening illness	first transformation	possession / mind control	falsely imprisoned	minor illness
cuddling for warmth	Stockholm syndrome	serial killers	grief	forced to rely on enemy / rival
fever / delirium	orphans	WILD CARD	de-age	cages
atonement	sacrifice	pandemics and epidemics	comfort food or item	body / mindswap
hostile climate	abuse	surprise sexswap	post-traumatic stress disorder	combat

I have achieved the coveted "hudding for warmth" square! \o/ Which is even more charmingly called "cuddling" here, which I kind of adore, because seriously, let's just cut to the chase. *g* I'm also pretty pleased with the rest of this, as well; there are a couple here I'm a little iffy on, but there's almost nothing that's 100% outside my wheelhouse, even if they're not all completely in my comfort zone.

Your card is so very awesome! C/Huddling for warrrrrrmth, yissssss.

What is "first transformation," I wonder? I couldn't actually find that on the prompts list. Its vagueness certainly does lend itself to some interesting hurt/comforty ideas, though!

You were so brave, not to rule anything out. My hat is off to you.

It's a crack prompt, I think -- first time you transform into something else is probably going to be traumatic. As I've actually written crack transformation before, it's in my wheelhouse! *g*

Admittedly, my brain is full of POI, where I don't have particularly cracky reactions to stuff, but there are plenty of other options out there...

The not-vetoing was the result of being v v tired at the time, and also feeling vaguely like if I vetoed something, then got something else I really didn't want, I'd feel like I should have known to veto *that* instead, and figuring screw it -- at least I could just have an even playing field for myself! (... it made sense at the time *g*)
