Hurt/comfort is for sure my favorite flavor of fanfic and i couldn't agree more on all the points you and coffeshiib brought up. (And her fic is soo good, it's so good! I love it)
What really resonated with my was the dissonance she felt with sapphic shows, cause yea. While the number of shows that feature or star sapphics or sapphic storylines steadily climbs, the number of shows that actually portray the reality of queer experience stay very, very low.
Wich is disappointing, but indeed - that's what fanfic is for!
(A league of their own was amazing with it's portrayal of queer euphoria and reality and I'll probably never shut up about that show lol)
