This is a term for fictional stories that involve light torture or the threat of torture, but the character being (potentially) tortured is rescued and has a happy ending. The focus of the story is not on the torture itself, but rather on the emotions and relationships that the experience facilitates.

This term originated from fan fiction to distinguish these "fluffy" stories from more angst-filled "torture porn" stories.

Example of a description of a potential torture fluff story: "Well, you know, bad guys should be all 'Mwahaha, we're gonna do bad things to you, Remus!' And then maybe they do. But then Sirius rescues him. Or he escapes himself. Anyway, then they cuddle."

bum fluff

Originating from leprechaun rectums in south ireland, bum fluff is the fibres of sweaty underwear that sticks to the scrotum and "Batty criece" when a respectable amount of sweat has been produced that day. On a hot day, people may be seen pulling their underwear out of the arse with their hands, this usually occurs when bum fluff is present.

"Ooh it's hot today isn't it?" *pulls underwear from bum crack*

-or-

"I think i better have a shower, my bum is currently covered in smelly wool."
