tg's annual sneezefic meme (2018)

[tarotgal]

It's April, which means it's once again time for my annual commentfic meme!

Directions:

1. Post prompts. Any fandom (original fic allowed as well) and any pairing, as long as there is potential sneezing involved character. There is no limit to how many prompts you can post.
2. Please warn for anything current that might be potentially spoilery!
3. Prompt posting will be open while there's interest, most likely until this time next year
4. Reply to any prompts you like with art/drabbles/ficlets/fics in parts/links to fics in your blog. The entry must not be friends-locked.
5. Please warn for anything that might be a trigger including something an emetophobe like me might have a problem with.
6. Prompts can have as many fills as people feel like writing. Just because one person has filled a prompt doesn't mean you can't write for that prompt as well. Different spins on the same thing are absolutely welcome!
7. There will be no deadline for fic responses. If you see a prompt you like and want to write it, go ahead!
8. There's no limit to how many you can write either. WRITE THEM ALL!
9. Please feel free to pimp this on any communities and forums you think would be interested in this.
10. You are allowed to repost prompts from previous or other memes. If the prompt belongs to someone else, just give them credit. You're also more than welcome to reprompt your own!
11. My birthday is April 19. I'm just saying...

All right, let the prompting and filling begin! Have fun, everybody!

Fills:

Supernatural

Can I please have good patient Sam? He’s not super sick or out of it or anything, but for whatever reason he’s happy to let Dean take care of him. As chick flick-y as you like.

Dean is pretty sure he hadn’t initially gone to sleep in the middle of the floor, but nevertheless, that’s where he is when he wakes up, aching and hot, in a darkened room.
How'd I Get Here? by anilkex

Dean sneezes a bunch in the shower and right after he gets out. Can be a regular occurrence or because he’s got a cold or something. If he catches a flurry of post-shower sneezes in a towel that would be THE best.

“Dear god, go blow your nose.”
Biserable by cowboyguy

Five times he ran out of tissues and one time he didn’t.
Five Times Dean Ran Out of Tissues and One Time He Didn’t by tarotgal

Five times it was just allergies and one time it wasn’t.
Four Times it was Allergies and One Time it Wasn't by missbayliss

If anyone feels like playing in my Frayed 'verse, I give you total permission, because Sam is sick and everything is overwhelming and he's seconds away from freaking out constantly and it's just not good, okay?
Frayed Sammy by anilkex

“You sound stuffy.”
Progression by cowboyguy

Sam Wesson’s caught the office crud that’s going around. Dean Smith couldn’t explain why, but all he knows is he just wants to help make him feel better.
It's A Terrible Life (But Soup Might Help) by sexualoddity

When Sam’s sick the only place he can get any sleep is all squished and bundled up in the back seat of the Impala. King-size motel bed? Doesn’t do it. The comfort of his own room? Not happening. The Impala is home, and it’s the only place he wants to be when he feels crummy.

There's an AI that detects when someone's sick.

Someone who just cannot get into the habit of vampire sneezing (sneezing into the crook of one's arm). Your choice regarding type of sneezing the character does do--uncovered, into hand, etc.

[tarotgal]

A character who travels regularly seems to catch absolutely everything. I mean, if someone sneezes 30 rows away from the character on a plane, a day or two later it inevitably hits.

Bonus points: it's a business traveler who gets pissed off about getting sick every darn time.

When a character gets an alert about pollen levels about to spike in the area, the character goes overboard preparing.

[tarotgal]

A character who normally has superhuman abilities and seems above or immune to everything suddenly loses all powers. Character is attempting to cope with the situation when a terrible cold hits hard (or character finds he/she/they are super allergic to just about everything).

[tarotgal]

I just want to see a Sense8 sneezefic. I don't even care who's sneezing or why, though I'd prefer it to be someone in the main cluster. I just want to see them deal with it! (Feel free to link me to something if there's a good fic out there that already exists!)

[tarotgal]

It's almost like Daniel is making it his mission to come down with whatever version of a cold exists on every single planet SG-1 visits. Jack is both exasperated and kind of impressed.

*SPOILERS FOR SEASON 12 OF SUPERNATURAL*

“that was a reflex. if was a sneeze. maybe the next time jack sneezes he kills us.”

What if Dean meant literally? Jack comes down with a cold or discovers allergies for the first time and every sneeze makes his powers go out of control.

[tarotgal]

Maybe that's a season 13 spoiler?

At any rate, it's a fantastic prompt! I mean, probably not so fantastic for Jack or Dean or Sam or, like, the fate of the world in general. But fantastic from this side of things :-)

[(Anonymous)]

Oh God of course a season 13 spoiler!! I’m so sorry haha I blame that on sleep deprivation honestly

[tarotgal]

No worries! I meant to have this meme up yesterday and was so tired my eyes were burning. I had to skip my volunteer shift last night and crash on the couch for 3 hours until I could function again. Hope you have a chance to get some sleep!

[cowboyguy]

It's Poe's first time back home to Yavin 4 in a while, and just his luck, he manages to come down with a cold right when he gets there.

Bonus points for appearances from Finn and/or Poe's dad!

[cowboyguy]

Supernatural. Sam has a cold. He's tired and his nose hurts and his head hurts and everyone keeps expecting him to do things, but all he really wants to do is take a nap.

[cowboyguy]

If anyone feels like playing in my Frayed 'verse, I give you total permission, because Sam is sick and everything is overwhelming and he's seconds away from freaking out constantly and it's just not good, okay?

[cowboyguy]

Supernatural. One of the boys is allergic to the scent of the shampoo or soap they find in the Men of Letters bunker storage room. And so every morning he's sniffly and sneezy and allergic for a bit, and then it goes away. And it takes the longest time for them to figure out what's going on.

[cowboyguy]

Star Wars. That one time the Resistance establishes a base on a planet where every time Poe goes outside, his allergies go absolutely crazy.

[cowboyguy]

Star Wars. Jedistormpilot trio love. Rey gets sick, and she hasn't had a lot of colds before. But when she has, it's been a "suck it up and deal with it" kind of thing, because she always had to just think about survival on Jakku. Where the next meal was coming from, how long her rations would last, making sure she could still defend herself from people trying to take what's hers. Now things are different, and she's got Finn and Poe to take care of her. And they really want to. She's not that great at letting them. Not at first, anyway.

[tarotgal]

Uuuuughhhhh! How am I going to get through the rest of my workday with this image in my head? Seriously...

[cowboyguy]

And they're those big, wrenching sneezes that leave him breathless and nearly falling forward, and his eyes are all watery, and his nose is constantly itchy...

I'm not making it better, am I? :D

(Also I think I need to go find more Poe icons.)

[tarotgal]

Oh gods. Stop killing me!

And more Poe icons sounds like an excellent idea :-)

[tarotgal]

Tell me about a character who keeps a handkerchief in a place people don't usually keep handkerchiefs. You decide where. Tucked in a hat? In a special pocket of a laptop bag? In a desk drawer at work? In a significant other's pocket?

[tarotgal]

Okay, so I have this recent obsession with a very specific trope. You know soulmate fics? Where one person is drawn to another person and they're magically revealed to be soulmates in some way (for example, their chests glow when they're close together)? This is a spin on that. In this AU, it's a goose that just appears one day and leads a person to their soulmate. You follow the goose and then--bam!--you've found your soulmate. Except that geese can be horrible creatures. So the difficulty comes in not being mauled by a goose in the process.

Write me that... but with sneezing involved. Maybe the person to whom the goose reveals itself is sick and weak and having a hard time fending off the constant goose attacks? And maybe someone with a sneezing fetish or caregiving fetish swoops in to save the person? And they happen to be the soulmate the goose was trying to lure there the whole time? The ultimate meet-cute with sneezing and a goose. I dunno. Plot isn't my strong suit. I just want more soulmate goosefic with sneezing.

You can find fics with this trope on AO3 using the tag "goose-typical violence." (Get it? Like canon-typical violence, only with a goose because geese are typically violent? Yeah, you got it. You didn't need me explaining. I'm a-gonna shut up now and end this parenthetical before I embarrass myself more.)

[anilkex]

who's pov would you want?

[cowboyguy]

Any! Sam, Dean, original. Probably not therapist Jane or Bobby, since they haven't featured much or at all yet.

I’ve always wanted to see an episode (or, in this case, a fic) like “Baby”, but instead it’s from the bunker’s point of view while Sam is sick. Maybe Dean refused to find a case or go on a hunt because Sam is so run down and that’s why they’re in the bunker for a day. Basically, I just wanna see the boys in the Bat Cave, Sam all sneezy and Dean all caring!
