while we're celebrating mike whump, i hope you don't mind if i link some mike whump fics of mine that i think you'd like :) (just a heads up, the fics are archive-locked to prevent ai scraping)
on the mend: After being forced to take time off to recover from a bullet grazing his side, Mike’s first case back in the field doesn’t go as smoothly as planned.
stretched over flesh and water: Mike rescues a young girl at the beach, and honestly, he's fine—the shivering is just from the cold water. Briggs is there when it catches up to him.
run the tap 'til it's clear: A hot shower after his morning run sends Mike reeling. DJ finds him on the bathroom floor, on the verge of teetering into unconsciousness. (one or two poly moments in the very beginning, but they're very brief and easy to ignore)
absolutely no pressure at all to read them, just thought you might enjoy! (i also don't know where you stand on romantic graceland ships, so i picked ones where the dynamics are ambiguous and can be interpreted as either romantic or platonic based on preference)
YAAAAS!! THANK YOU!!! I shall always happily accept fic recs for Graceland and please do rec yourself!! I look forward to reading them!!!! EEEEE THEY SOUND SO GOOD!! And I appreciate sending me ambiguous ship ones. I tent to stay in the platonic realm or go for the canon relationships.
Hey Ace! do you have any whump fanfic recs for the Superman 2025 movie ? I want that kryponite poisoning box scene but in like a really long detailed fanfic lol 😝
I haven’t read a lot honestly. It got annoying trying to filter out everything crossover to find just the Superman 2025 fics but I do have these few ones for you:
Poisoned by Electrikworm Summary: Lois Lane’s evening doesn’t go how she’d expected it to when she comes home to Clark laying in her bathtub with kryptonite poisoning. With Clark barely strong enough to keep his own head up, it’s up to Lois to save his life.
if i’m alive and well, will you be there, holding my hand? by afterafternoons Summary:
Lois finds herself sitting vigil in Clark’s childhood bedroom, and it’s a weird feeling, you know, because he’s…well, he’s Superman—and it’d never before occurred to her that there’d exist a reality in which anyone should find themselves in her position; much less this reality. And she doesn’t mean the ‘dating Superman’ of it all (or whatever it is that they’re doing here exactly—if they’re even doing that anymore), but rather the sitting bedside for Superman. He just wasn’t supposed to go down like this. OR what would happen if lois had stayed a while after getting clark back to kansas.
Back For More by Wolfcry22 Summary: After defeating Lex Luthor, Superman is still recovering from the Kryptonite poisoning and the fight. However, he’s soon thrust into another attack and comes to back to Lois in much worse shape than when he left.
Deep, Slow Breaths by CleareyesTheHamilkit Summary: Maybe Clark should’ve listened when he was told that he wasn’t fully recovered.
Fevers and Flights by daughterofeve16 Summary:
Lois may have saved Clark from Lex’s pocket universe, but she’s beginning to wonder if getting him to his parents’ farm is the bigger struggle. Or, the missing moments between Lois helping Clark to the T-Craft and the deleted scene of Lois kissing Clark’s cheek as he recovers in his childhood bed.

Pysch fics whump as a rec!
WOOHOO!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH NONNY!!
Hi! Love your blog! U have any Perception, Daniel Peirce fic recs? Please?
I WISH!!! Do you know how desperately I desire whump fics for Daniel Pierce? I want it so badly. But there’s barely any fanfic at all for Perception let alone whump ones. I have enjoyed this one though: https://archiveofourown.org/works/525859
Hello Ace!
I hope you are doing okay. I got a question, I am getting back into the Sandman tv series and I was curious if there was any good sandman whump out there?
Tom sturridge looks so pretty when he's sad :(
Anyway you are the mage all things whump! So I thought you would be the one to ask :D
Oh YES! I love the Sandman and yes Tom looks so good when he’s sad.
In the show, season 1 is chock full of sad Dream. Check out my tag for all the good gifs. Especially episodes 1 and 4. Season 2 has had a few good things too but I’m not gonna spoil that.
Fanfics (I have many recs. Most of which are Dreamling centered and focus on his 100 years of captivity):
Dream of Death by Gueniver: What if Jessamy had managed to escape from Alex’s gun and could inform the Endless of Dream’s Capture? What if Death could save Dream only after a few years of capture? The tools are still lost, but he has his sibling’s help.
Darker, Still by CeruleanHeart: When Dream doesn’t show up for their appointment in 1989, Hob decides to devote a part of his immortality to looking for his mysterious friend. He is dedicated not to wait and hope for another century for the slim chance of seeing him again.
Even if he has to bribe, lie and steal, use every trick in the book he’s learned in the past 600 years, he will find him. After over a century, Dream has almost given up on the hope of ever escaping his prison when help finally shows up in the form of someone least expected, compelling him to re-evaluate the nature of his interest in an old acquaintance.
Baby Brother by Anonymous: Death has known for years why Dream had fallen silent and where he was being held, but she’s been unable to act upon her knowledge until he’d been locked up for over thirty years. When she finally has the time to save him, she is horrified to see what they’ve been doing to her baby brother all these years.
Step by Step by Hopeful_Foolx: After all that happened, that the Lord of Dreams gets sick is a surprise … to nobody but himself. Three chapter with three (or more) people that are there for him.
To Learn to Breathe Again by ironlin: Upon returning back to the Dreaming, Dream finds himself struggling. Thankfully, Lucienne is there to help.
Bones Don’t Rust by not_whelmed_yet: But he wasn’t in the Dreaming here. He was pinned to the incremental march of seconds upon seconds upon seconds that made up minutes and days and years. He was stranded in a form severed from the Dreaming. Like soil run through a sieve, the damned circle had held back the greater part of himself. He ached for it, for a form where he could simply choose not to feel the cold sinking into his bones, or the swimming haziness of air used up, or the hunger sweetly gnawing on the core of him.

can’t leave a comment on anon, but for the people asking for the z4 fics. all like 1-2 chapters so far, i have subscribed to all of them lol. fair warning, at least one of them promises character death later, check tags if that’s important
YAAAAAS!!! THANK YOU NONNY!!!!
You got any favourite Buck & Tommy whump fics?
(I am now on a BuckTommy kick bc of you. I hope you are happy with yourself 😂)
Asdfghjkl OH OH! My friend. You have no idea the can of worms you’ve just opened 👀👏 I take full responsibility for your BuckTommy obsession because I am obsessed with them and I need more friends to be obsessed with the BuckTommy whump with me. But oh my god YES I HAVE RECS FOR YOU!! Did you know that I clicked on the BuckTommy tag on AO3 and, after filtering out the things that squick me out, I went page by page looking and reading any scrap of whump and angst (specifically Tommy focused cause I want him HURT) that I could find? Did you know that that was over 600 AO3 pages of fanfics I went through? And that I bookmarked like 150 individual fics? When I tell I went crazy over these two…I WENT CRAZY. So yes I have fics to rec!
Brace yourself! This gonna be HUGE. And there’s more to read on my AO3 bookmarks if you want to look (under aceofwhump)
(I also may have started writing a few of my own inspired by the prompts for BuckTommy whump week that I missed so we’ll see if I can finish those because apparently I can’t finish a fanfic to save my life lately)
I wanted to add a few more suggestions. As always, read the tags and CW before deciding if it’s for you.
Buck went to Bobby and told him, “He- he touches me,” and Bobby’s eyebrows rose.
“No, not like that,” Buck said.
But what if it was?
time is shortening (down to the bone) by calinaannehart
It’s not the reunion Buck expected.
He didn’t expect a text from Lucy directing him to the oncology ward.
He didn’t expect to find his ex boyfriend hooked up to a chemo bag.
He didn’t expect to be nursing his ex boyfriend through cancer.
He didn’t expect to still be in love with his ex boyfriend.
Time is running out for Tommy Kinard. Perhaps, Evan might just be his last after all.
The man let go of Buck to pull back for another punch but Buck just let himself drop to the ground instead.
And while he was down there he punched the guy’s knee to the side.
Instant screaming, like full throated rage.
Hearing that wild rage made two thoughts hit Buck at once.
One, this was that guy Tommy had told him about weeks ago. The one from Muay Thai class who had gotten stalker-y before Tommy scared him off.
Two, Buck’s phone was upstairs.
He stood so fast the room spun again but he didn’t have time to be dizzy. He had to get to his phone. He had to call Tommy.
—
An ex of Tommy’s, one he broke things off with because he had anger problems and stalking tendencies, doesn’t take too kindly to Buck being in Tommy’s life.
He makes that point clear by beating the hell out of Buck in Tommy’s house.
I just read Numb and I’m losing my mind!! That was sooooooo good!!!! I will 100% be checking out the others! Thank you for more fics to read!
I think you’d like the fic a set of empty bones if you like bucktommy whump. long fic focused on buck experiencing severe trauma.
Oh sweet!!! Yes please!!! Love a good long fic with whump and recovery! I’ll DEFINITELY check it out! Thank you!

Do you know some good "Arrow 2012" whump fics with injured Oliver. Like he got so injured that he need help from others, so he can't hide it. I also love medical whump, so i hope you find some. Also, you are amazing and I love your blog. 🤩
Hi! Aw thanks!
Okay Oliver Queen injured fics. I might have a couple. I haven’t read a lot of Arrow fics honestly. I know I’ve read a couple that focuses on him having PTSD from his time on the island. Let me see if I have any injured fics.
Okay this is the only one I’ve read that fits nearest to what you’re looking for:
Another “Shameless Oliver Whump” :D Oliver is seriously injured on one of his missions, and no one can reach Felicity to tell her what happened.
„He was still half conscious; his eyes were tightly shut in pain, as he muttered Felicity’s name over and over.”
The story takes place in the second half of the third season and even though it was supposed to be just one chapter, it somehow went off the rails, and it’s practically a story I wish had happened in the series.
If anyone has recs please reply with them!

I see you're going through a bit of an Illya phase, can I be a terrible and recommend mine own stuff??
