The 
hurtcomfortex tagset continues to be the gift that keeps giving. I've been saving the more interesting top-level tag juxtapositions that have come up as the tagset and consequently the juxtaposed tags are constantly shuffled by new tags coming in.
Putting them under a cut since some of them may contain violent, sexual, or potentially triggery material. I swear these are all real ones that came up randomly.
There's a whole story in each of these:
Character Forced to Reveal Past Trauma → Characters Sharing Mutual Dislike Become Telepathically Linked; Slow Learn to Cope/Like Each Other
Character A becomes legal guardian of sibling Character B after death of parents → Character Conceals Terrible Personal Cost Attached to Using Their Superpower
Trauma Recovery and Learning How to Person Properly With the Help of Patient Love Interest/Family → Werewolf AU - Hurt and vulnerable werewolf at the brink of death is found by comforter
Searching for injured partner/friend who was left behind → Soulmate AU - Soulbond Forms During Moments of Extreme Empathy
Unsuccessfully hiding an injury → Wingfic - magic wings permanently broken from corruption
These are good combos anytime:
Recovery From Drug Addiction → Sick/hurt character doesn't want to accept help
Beatings → Character acts casual about their scars from childhood abuse
Held Captive by Criminals → Hurt/sick character isn't quite lucid
Comfort after nightmares → Comforting with Kittens or Puppies
On the Run with a Sick or Injured Partner → Recovery in Hiding
Awkward Comforter → Catching Hurt Character as They Collapse
Or just unexpectedly iddy:
Whipping → The Worst Person Is Also Comfortee's Only Hope
Drug withdrawal after captivity and forced drug addiction to break character's will → Forced To Relive Trauma for Mission Report/Debrief
Physically Injured Character Giving Medical Instructions to Save Their Own Life → Reconciliation
And then there are the more unfortunate tag pairings:
Impact Play - inflicting pain until character breaks down in much-needed emotional catharsis → Left for Dead
Comfort Sex → Consumption
Family Disapproval → Gunshot wound to the abdomen
Lactose Intolerance → Medical Problem Can Only Be Managed With Regular Penetration/Fingering
Stomach Ache After Losing Eating Contest → Time Loop - Reliving Events in Order to Find a Happy Ending
Character Cradling Sick Character's Head In Their Lap → Character Must Resist Urge to Devour Lover
Unrelatedly, enjoy some Lewis Chessmen (posted on Tumblr).
