Abstract

This article aims to describe one of the fanfiction genres – hurt/comfort, which most often occurs within slash, i.e. the type of texts that focus on romantic/erotic relationships between two male characters. In hurt/comfort stories, one of the heroes is subjected to mental or physical suffering, while the other takes care of the wounded or the sick one. Pain and life‑threatening situations allow the heroes to get closer to each other, make them realize a strong attachment, and build intimacy between them. Such texts can be read as criticism of traditional concepts of masculinity related to patriarchal culture.
