A tag usually used in fanfiction to describe a fic in which a character is hurt (usually emotionally) and receives no comfort from any other outside sources. It can range from internal conflict (like having a mental breakdown alone in the bathroom) to experiencing something traumatic alone (like having a near death experience with no one there to see it), though the tag is not limited to these scenarios.
Serves as a contrast to Hurt/Comfort, and is often regarded as a subcategory to Angst.
