A character can't stop sneezing long enough to explain what set him off sneezing in the first place... but tries to communicate that info anyway. Bonus points for the sneeziest game of charades in history.

Jim is on the run as a fugitive and spends the night walking the cold, really cold, super cold streets. By the time Harvey gets to him with a hot coffee to warm him up, he can't stop sniffling for anything. And maybe he's caught a cold. Okay, yeah. Of course he's caught a cold. I'm writing this prompt. Poor miserable Jim with a cold, trying to clear his name.

I really just would love a scenario where a character is having an allergic reaction to an animal in the room and they just aren’t being polite/considerate at all, just sniffling really loudly all the time, rubbing their nose all the time, wiping it on their sleeve, complaining about how itchy it is, sneezing uncovered, either because no one ever taught them what was polite or they just genuinely don’t give a fuck about other people. alternately they are angry at whoever brought in the animal and are passive-aggressively trying to get them to remove it by not holding back with their allergic reaction, and the person who brought it is completely clueless.

Inspired by watching too much Drunk History, lol... Person A is smashed. Wasted. Beyond gone. So, what might have been a polite sneeze or two without the booze? Turns out to be a huge, flailing, messy, over-dramatic DISASTER sneeze-fit that will. not. stop. Whatever else is up to you! Ship fic? Person A out with a group? Person A drunk and alone, giggling and getting off on their sloshed/messy fit? Any fandom or original fic works for me! Feel free to involve a cold or allergies. Or, some people just sneeze when they're drunk, no rhyme or reason. That makes me happy too!

In the AA canon Tony has micro cleaning bots all over the tower, furthering my headcanon of germaphobe!Tony. Anyways Tony is tinkering with them when he starts to come down with something. He's basically seen as a huge 'germ/disease' and is pursued by them until he locks himself in the only room that doesn't have anything too modern or high-tech, Steve's room. What happens next is up to you, could get slashy or just be fluffy gen care-taking.

SHIELD has a company hockey team that Clint plays on (I'm partial to him playing goalie now that tg wrote him that way for my holiday giftfic but take your pick) and whenever Coulson is in town he always makes it over to see Clint play/practice. Coulson comes back from a mission without Clint and comes straight to the rink to watch Clint. Clint doesn't know that Coulson has shown up right away but then spots him sitting in the stands and keeps an eye on him during the game. Clint can tell that Coulson is not well and, while he appreciates that Coulson has come to watch him play, wishes Coulson would go home and take care of himself. Maybe Clint keeps looking over at Coulson so much he gets distracted from the game or maybe knowing Coulson is there does the opposite and makes him more resolved to do a good job. And then what happens after the game?

Person A is always cold. Even more so when he catches a chill. Person B is always warm. B happily shares this warmth, rubbing A's hands together or letting A slide his hands under their shirt.This normally works well, except when A needs to sneeze. Luckily, B never minds, and A has learned to be less embarrassed and enjoy it. Maybe B offers to hold a tissue and wipe A's nose while A's hands are under their shirt. Maybe B rubs A's hands while A sneezes and sniffles against their shoulder *_*

I am talking super-vanilla where BDSM is involved. So, Character A is coming down with an epically sneezy cold but would still like to be at work except that Character B is a gentle dom who demands that Character A get into bed and let himself be babied in a variety of ways - as well as holding Character A’s wrists back when Character A needs a tissue and telling Character A to hold back their sneezes as long as they can while nudging their noses together to make Character A fail at holding them back, and generally appreciating their sudden helplessness a little more than your average person - in between all the babying of course. Yes.

Person A and Person B are a relatively new item, and they're having sex for the first time *_* First times are already a little awkward - fumbling, clumsy bumping, maybe they talk through likes/don't likes, maybe they've had a few drinks to get through the nerves? Adding to the awkward? Person A starts to sneeze. Maybe it's allergy season. Maybe a mood-setting candle or flowers get to him. Maybe he just sneezes when he's nervous? Awkward x 50 - Person B is kinda into A's sneezes. Like, REALLY kinda into them. But this is still so damn new, and being into sneezes might seem weird to some people? So Person A is trying not to sneeze/super embarrassed about sneezing. Person B is trying not to show how hot they find all of this. And yeah. All the awkward sexiness and embarrassed smiles and sneezes would be lovely!

Two characters go to the theatre/opera, either alone or as part of a group. After the Interval, character A doesn't come back to their seat, and B spends the second half worrying about them. Turns out A had an awful cold/was struggling with allergies if you prefer, kept it together in the first half and fled to the bathroom at the interval so they could finally sneeze freely. They couldn't bring themselves to go back for another half, so they kept their sneezy self hidden in the loos until it was all over. Cue B fussing over them and gently chiding them for not saying something sooner. B would have gladly skipped the second half to take care of A.

Finn has never been sick before. The First Order gave them all immunity supplements, because a sick trooper is a useless trooper. But he doesn't have those any more, and Finn has just caught his first cold.

It's a big galaxy. There are a lot of different germs out there. Sure, he's been inoculated against all of the widespread illnesses. But this is a virus Poe's never caught before.

It's not all that convenient having allergies when you're supposed to be the best pilot in the galaxy. You know, missions to run, people to save. Usually Poe's allergies are pretty well contained (allergy meds, shots, etc.), but whatever is causing this allergy is just making his nose so. damned. itchy.

Character who never, ever takes a sick day is finally convinced to take one and falls in love with being lazy. He ends up taking an extra day or two to recover just so he can finish his snack foods and the show he's currently binging on Netflix.

Dean has never been able to bring himself to not worry about waking Sam up in these situations, so when he’s sick and they’re sharing a motel room he stifles his sneezes all night into the scratchy pillows and blankets and outside at the ice machine in the drizzling rain and at 2 am on the bathroom floor and when Sam goes to wake him up in the morning Dean is an immovable object under a massive pile of blankets, just a sniffly, stuffy, even sicker mess that can’t talk right and Sam is like SIGH.
FILLED by
Dean was as a kid, and still is as an adult, prone to ear infections when he gets sick, which leads to dizziness and vertigo and often toppling sideways and having to hold onto the walls or his brother whenever he sneezes, which then leads to everybody fussing over him, which is so not his strong suit. It’s embarrassing, is what it is. But Sam, well, Sam thinks it’s pretty endearing.

Meg is missing. Dean's trying to find her. Dean's stuck Sam with Cas, in Bobby's house or Rufus's cabin, because "someone has to watch him." Sam can handle Crazy Cas, normally, but... Sam falls asleep for a while, like, a normal person's good night's sleep, aaaand... Well... Crazy Cas is fascinated by the rain (me: *has door open* Oooh, the rain's SO PRETTY! :D ... I should probably close the door and stop... Oh, well... (IDK why Cas is ALWAYS ME XD)).. And it's raining for the first time since Cas woke up. First a drizzle, then a downpour. And Cas was standing outside all night, observing the rain, in the cold... And the rain. Sam wakes up and has to convince/lure Cas to come inside. When he finally succeeds, he realizes that Cas is sick. Oops.

One (or both) the boys have a cold. Luckily, they swipe a tissue box from a bathroom/coffee table when they're making their rounds interviewing. Unluckily, the tissue box is a cursed object. Up to you what the curse is!

Person A and B are together. But they like to invite a third in from time to time, shake things up. Person C is someone they know/work with/mutual friend/etc. A and B were already showing interest in C. But that attraction shoots up 150% when C comes down with the sneeziest head cold imaginable (or the sneeziest allergies, if you prefer!)

Sam has a terrible cold, but it’s an ‘all hands on deck’ type of situation. He can hide a lot of the symptoms but he just cannot stop sneezing. He has about a billion interviews to do and people keep commenting on his illness. He’s too polite not to acknowledge their concern, but he cannot agree with them when they say how terrible he looks o how he ought to be in bed. The second he does, he’s gonna have to engage with just how crappy he’s feeling. Once he’s done that, he’s not sure he’s gonna find it within him to get back on the job.

Something where someone is super-congested so that when they sniffle it makes this squeaking noise that is both ridiculous and cute and the other character teases them about it. Maybe they also make them take a shower or have them eat some hot soup to help with the congestion and then that turns them into an (also ridiculous and cute) sneezy mess. Supernatural (Dean) or original would be my main choices but anything would work! I like reading fandoms I don't know when such adorableness is involved.

The boys are digging up a grave, but it just happens to be right next to a plant/tree that Dean's really allergic to. He's trying to work, because otherwise it'll take twice as long for Sam to do it by himself, but come on, Dean, it's already taking twice as long with you stopping to sneeze constantly. Just go wait in the car, okay?

The Imapala needs to be towed back to Bobby's for Dean to fix her up, so they're forced to take public transportation for a day. I'm thinking train or bus. Dean is so cranky about the whole situation that he didn't even notice having a headache that morning but by noon he's got a sore throat and watery eyes and a few hours after that he's full-blown, noticably sick, nose both stuffy and runny, pink-faced with fever and sneezing without having enough Kleenex, reducing what he does have to mulch. Not soon after that he's just a total mess and people on the train are looking at him like he has the plague, so he's kind of curled up against/half hidden next to Sam, sniffling pitifully. Mostly what I'm looking for with this scenario is the visible-for-all-to-see progression of symptoms all the way up to that one sneeze of a cold where you go, "Oh, I really am sick." I love that.
