In honour of Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day, I’ve put together this list of some of my favourite hurt!Sam fics. Every one of these fics has pushed me to craft my own writing with as much thought and care as was clearly invested in them by their amazing authors. I hope you find them as gorgeous and inspiring as I do.
Fics are listed in alphabetical order by author name, and include both author summaries (in italics) and my comments. All these authors are superb writers, and I highly recommend checking out their other fanworks as well.
For each rec I have noted: [length | pairing | categories of hurt | major warnings (if needed)]. Most of these fics are gen and contain no sexually explicit content. Do be sure to check the authors’ tags/warnings on each individual fic, though, because there’s some pretty difficult stuff in most of them (all of which is handled beautifully).
