I’ve been craving SickFic, so have some prompts and feel free to tag me here at @wordmage because I would love to see your takes on the prompts below. Feel free to add more, or use it for RP/art, whatever. I plan to try and fill them all out, myself.
99.9% Immunity – (character) never gets sick, right? Wrong.
Elephant in the Room – (character) is sick, but for some reason – rank, personality, etc – no one is talking about it
Heroes Don’t Take Sick Days – there’s no time to rest when you have to save the world, so (character) has to push themselves even when miserable
Insult to Injury – as if being injured wasn’t enough, (character) is getting sick too
Ill Timed – it’s the worst possible time for (character) to be sick, but their body didn’t get the memo
Irreplaceable – (character) is the leader/boss and isn’t able to take personal time off, even when they’re under the weather
It’s Nothing – (character) insists they’re fine, right up until they collapse
Medic Down – every group seems to have a primary caretaker. How do they handle it when (character) is the one sick?
Milking It – if (character) has to be sick, they’re at least going to get as much pampering out of others as they can
Not a Word – (character) said they don’t get sick, and isn’t in the mood for anyone to remind them while they recover
No Rest for the Wicked – the big bad (character) has more to worry about than the good guys
Open Secret – everyone knows (character) is sick, but they’re trying so hard no one has said anything
Persuasive Partners – (character) is sick, and refusing to stay put; their partner(s) give them a good reason to stay in bed
Stepping Up – boss/leader (character) is clearly miserable, so the others go out of their way to take as much of their workload as possible
Suffer in Silence – for whatever reason, (character) doesn’t want anyone to know they’re sick, and does everything they can to hide it
Take One Down… – (character) gets sick, and spreads it to the rest of the group
Team Mom/Dad – (character) is the one to always take care of others on the team
The Wolf Cries True – (character) has been known to exaggerate or even pretend they’re sick, only this time they’re telling the truth
This is Your Fault – (character A) was clingy while they were sick, and now (character B) has it
Why Didn’t You Say? – (character) hasn’t been feeling well, making for some uncharacteristic behavior, and their partner(s)/team/friends are much more understanding once they realize why
This is somehow one of my most popular posts (nearly 400 notes on it, mostly reblogs) which I am 110% behind and totally approve. So I’m also going to add more things. (Drop these in people’s askbox with characters or something! Mine, too!)
Behind Closed Doors – (character) has a solid public face, but in private they let themselves be taken care of when they’re not well
Bless You – (character) has a particularly sneezy cold, and may or may not be able to retreat from life to deal with it.
Don’t Speak – (character) has a horribly sore throat and is reduced to barely talking while they load up on hot drinks and soup to recover.
I’m Dying – (character) has a headcold and despite that not being anywhere near the worst they’ve ever been, they’re flailing about it to anyone who will listen
Judgement Call – (character) really isn’t feeling well, but has pressing obligations. Others could step up, but no one is as qualified. They choose to…
Painfully Polite – (character) has very strong feelings about how one should behave, and they are even more mindful when they’re not at their best, talking through a sore throat, trying not to cough, attempting to stifle sneezes, etc.
Misery Loves Company – (character) is under the weather and not up for much, but really appreciates having someone there. Even if that someone is sick too.
Stay With Me – (character A) rarely asks for help, but they’re feeling miserable enough to ask (character B) to keep them company a while.
With Kid Gloves On – it’s a known fact that (character) has trouble accepting help, even when they’re sick; the others have learned specific “acceptable” methods over time
You Heard Nothing – (character) is obviously coming down sick – sneezing, sniffling, coughing – and absolutely refusing to admit to it, let alone take things easy.
If someone wrote one of these for me I would love them forever
