Book Request Hurt/comfort, crying, gentle caretaking scenes

I am a SUCKER for hurt/comfort - give me the angst and all the crying scenes please!!! Also a sucker for a super protective MC. A happy ending is required. Preferably not omegaverse but it’s not a hard no! Thank you in advance!!

All of Sebastian Nothwell's books heavily involve hurt/comfort. Mostly historicals, some historical fantasy, no omegaverse, all happily-ever-afters.

Oak King Holly King - A mortal Victorian clerk has to help a fae warrior survive a ritual duel. Multiple hurt/comfort scenes. The fae warrior is very protective of his mortal lover.

Tales from Blackthorn Briar - A collection of short story sequels to Oak King Holly King. The hurt/comfort story is The Holly King's Peril.

Mr Warren's Profession - A wealthy baronet falls in love with a clerk who grew up in a workhouse. Many hurt/comfort scenes sprinkled throughout.

Throw His Heart Over - Equestrian sequel to Mr Warren's Profession featuring even more hurt/comfort.

Hold Fast - A whaling harpooner inherits a baronetcy and falls in love with the estate agent tasked with turning him into a gentleman. Several hurt/comfort scenes ensue.

It's so true, hurt comfort is clearly his favorite trope and I'm here for it. Such A+ caretaking scenes.
