Prompts: All the Fandoms! Even More Sneezes! a comment fic meme

[tarotgal]

You were warned... here it is... another April Comment Meme!



PROMPTS | FILLS

Directions:
1. Post prompts. Any fandom and any pairing, as long as there is potential sneezing involved from a male character. There is no limit to how many prompts you can post.
2. Please warn for anything current that might be potentially spoilery! (I haven't seen a bit of Season 10 of Supernatural yet, so PLEASE don't spoil me!)
3. Prompt posting will be open while there's interest.
4. Reply to any prompts you like with art/drabbles/ficlets/fics in parts/links to fics in your LJ. If doing a link to your LJ, the entry must not be friends-locked. Please warn for anything that might be a trigger including something an emetophobe like me might have a problem with.
5. 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!
6. There will be no deadline for fic responses. If you see a prompt you like and want to write it, go ahead! There's no limit to how many you can write either. WRITE THEM ALL!
7. Please feel free to pimp this on any communities and forums you think would be interested in this.
8. You are allowed to repost prompts from previous or other memes. If the prompt belongs to someone else, just give them credit. But you're more than welcome to reprompt your own!
9. My birthday is April 19. I'm just saying...

All right, let the prompting and filling begin!

Supernatural: Every time, Dean reads to Sam when Sam’s sick to get him to sleep. There was only one time it didn't work.

Any pairing or gen, any rating.

FILLED: They're Only Words

[anilkex1.livejournal.com]

Super excited for meme-time. Thank you, TG, for hosting another one! Needed a break from another story, and this fits perfectly!

So...I took a slanted take on this prompt...and...yeah...this happened. :/

XXXXX

Sam glanced at the clock, sighing when it read only two minutes past the last time he checked. Thunder rumbled, rattling the windows of the cold motel room. The storm was supposed to be a doozy, with warnings to stay off the roads and seek shelter until it passed. According to Google, this shitshack was the only motel for miles around, so that’s where the Impala stopped for the night.

Sam’s pretty sure it barely qualified as “shelter”.

His tired hand scrubbed tired eyes, pausing to pinch the bridge of his nose. The headache he’d been sporting for days wasn’t in a rush to leave, despite the alarming quantity of medication shoved down his throat. The constant drainage from his sinuses hadn’t helped either, along with the grating cough and forceful sneezing. He cleared his throat, wincing as pain shot across his neck and somehow straight into his skull.

Sigh.

Quick glance.

Only one minute later.

Fantastic.

Dean was reading. His words flowed over and through his brother, but still Sam couldn’t sleep. He’d been tossing and turning, trying, but to no avail. Sam was wide awake, two hours later.

It had always worked - this trick of Dean’s. A Sick Sam meant a Sam who needed to be in one spot for long periods of time so he could rest. Once wrangled into bed, on a couch, or in the backseat of the Impala, Dean would read anything and everything to keep Sam’s attention, until he succombed to the fever and fell asleep.

But Dean hadn’t read to him in forever, even when emotional upheaval from Jessica’s death overcame Sam’s immune system three years ago. Sam’s stubborn need for autonomy outweighed Dean’s innate need to parent, so the reading ceased and Sam chose to be sick on his own.

Tonight was different, though. Tonight, he was desperate - he needed Dean. Sam hadn’t slept in...he wasn’t sure exactly.

He stopped counting after that first night.

Staring at the ceiling, Sam cursed softly when his nose started twitching. The first sneeze rocked the bed, his upper half rising as he caught it in the thin blanket. The second built for a while, giving him time to roll away from Dean’s bed, and sneeze against his shoulder. The next three came one after the other, but he muffled them into his pillow and was somehow still able to hear Dean’s words.

He needed to hear the words.

When the small fit passed, Sam sniffed and rubbed his nose against the blanket, figuring the course material would help alleviate the itching that hadn’t abated in days. Instead, it served as encouragement, egging on a triple, followed by a double.

Sam’s red-rimmed eyes stung with frustrated tears.

This wasn’t working.

Nothing would work.

Sitting up with a raspy growl, he reached over and threw the ancient cassette player against the wall, abruptly cutting off Dean’s voice with a crash that resonated throughout Sam’s aching head.

He stared for a moment across the room at the empty bed, still neatly made, just waiting for someone to flop down and muss it up.

But Sam knew.

No one was coming.

Gotham: Jim catches cold and his partner keeps insisting he should take a sick day. Why would you work when you’re sick if you don’t have to? But Jim powers though and ends up solving the case, of course.

Can be set when Barbara is there or maybe Selina is? Would be fun seeing Selina’s reaction to a sick Jim Gordon.

[smokeycat-430.livejournal.com]

I love this prompt! I actually am all caught up on this show, for once. I might have to see what I can do with this...

[tarotgal]

Supernatural: One word. The Winchester boys have been together so long that one can tell when the other is going to sneeze (cold, allergies, anything goes). And he’s able to take care of his brother without needing to speak. In fact, I want to see the entire story where they communicate just in gestures and looks… except for one word. What word? You choose!

Any pairing or gen, any rating.

[cowboyguy.livejournal.com]

IT BEGINS! Of course, I am at work and it's the one day I didn't bring my laptop with me, but you are getting ALL the prompts when I get home!

Quick question: can we post prompts from last year that never got filled? There's one I've been thinking about a lot and I reeeeally want to see if someone will claim it.

[tarotgal]

Any fandom! Any pairing! Any rating!

You can’t catch cold from the seasons changing. You can’t catch cold from being caught in the rain. You can’t catch cold from a chill in the air. It’s impossible. Yet, somehow, he managed it.

[myownprivatesfc.livejournal.com]

Truly "any" fandom/pairing? Or one you're familiar with? Because I've been working on something just like this, but I don't think it's a fandom you know. :-(

[tarotgal]

Supernatural: Nesting in the backseat of the Impala when sick is the best thing ever. I want to see a fic set entirely in the backseat. Stuff blankets, pillows, tissues, and anything else you can into the backseat with one or more of the boys and start your story!

Any pairing or gen, any rating.

[cowboyguy.livejournal.com]

YES! THIS!

[tarotgal]

Sherlock’s scarf is good for more than just keeping his neck warm. Discuss.

Any pairing (though Sherlock/John or Sherlock/Lestrade or Sherlock/Lestrade/John preferred) or gen, any rating.

[tarotgal]

Supernatural: As ladykorana says, it’s tough having your birthday during season finale time. This year, Dean is determined to give Sam a good birthday. He’s got it all planned out. But then they BOTH get sick.

Any pairing (though Sam/Dean preferred) or gen, any rating.

[tarotgal]

Harry Potter: There was winter storm this year named Remus. As if the poor guy doesn't have enough problems, now he shows up with snow and ice? So… yeah, that’s the prompt. Remus shows up somewhere and “brings” the snow and ice with him. Others around him are not pleased but maybe not surprised?

Bonus points for hiding from the storm under blankets.

Remus/Sirius or Remus/Snape preferred but not required. Any rating.

[cowboyguy.livejournal.com]

(...and then they build a fort?)

[tarotgal]

Supernatural AU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQQRtUw6Ntw
I desperately want to see a Dean/Castiel sneezefic set in this "Profound Bond" AU

[tarotgal]

Bates Motel: Bates Motel- Is it just me, or does Dylan sound soooo stuffed-up in Season 3 Episode 3? I want to believe he’s sick and it’s not just the cold temperatures during filming. Help me out with that? Come on, he totally says “Ebba” instead of “Emma.” It’s so obvious. He’s totally got a cold, right?

Bonus points for Dylan letting Caleb get a little fatherly and look after him a bit.

Extra bonus points for Caleb catching his cold (Caleb’s nose is so fantastic; I bet he’d have an awesome sneeze)

Canon/gen pairings.

[smokeycat-430.livejournal.com]

Bates Motel is in my Netflix queue. I will totally get to it some day. Soon. Like, right after I finish season 3 of House of Cards and the remainder of Daredevil...I actually have been recording the show since the series started in hopes of watching it so I have season 3 on my DVR to watch as well. I will have to keep this prompt in mind when I get to that episode/season.

[tarotgal]

Any fandom/pairing/rating!

Start your fic with any one of these first lines from Liberty Belle: http://thebelletower.tumblr.com/post/98221520116/illness-themed-rp-starters (though change "lay" to "lie" is you use the third one or you'll have me twitching)

Choose one of the following to start your fic:
"When is the last time you ate?"
"Let me get you a glass of water."
"You can lie down in my bed if you need to."
"Don't cry, you're going to be fine."
"You're safe, I've got you."
"You're fever's too high, you're delirious."
"Sleep it off."
"Can I get you anything?"
"You've been out for days. I was worried you were dead."
"When is the last time you slept?"
"How long have you had that cough?"
"Hold on. You're too sick to go anywhere."
"I'll get you a blanket, you're going to be here for a while."
"Let's go home, you're too sick."
"I can do that, just go back to bed."
"Maybe you should go to the doctor."
"Come on, at least sleep in a bed."

I love ALL of these!

Supernatural: This is the startup screen on my computer: http://eiande.deviantart.com/art/His-Brother-Was-So-Cold-339181886
Took me, like, a year to notice that Dean's covering Sam up with TWO blankets, not just one. Awwww. Explain. With sneezes. Thank you.

Sam/Dean or gen. Any rating.

[wig-powder.livejournal.com]

Reposting from last year's meme...

Fandom: Horatio Hornblower.

Prompt: Horatio takes snuff for the first time (how this comes about is up to the filler). I think we all know where the fic goes from here...

[tarotgal]

Supernatural: The Winchester boys have called a truce when it comes to their pranks. But that doesn't mean they can't team up and prank someone else (Charlie, Cas, Crowley, etc.)... or does that someone else have a prank of his/her own?

Any pairing or gen, any rating.

[tarotgal]

Supernatural: One (or more) of the boys are sick in the bunker while Charlie is visiting. They play video games.

Gen preferred. Heavy on the Charlie & Dean bromance if possible ;-)

[tarotgal]

Supernatural (teenchesters?): For hunters, allergies are terribly inconvenient. So John puts his boys on new, strong allergy medicine. There are a few side effects, but the boys are good at compensating/hiding the side effects from their dad. However, the medicine is really put to the test on their next hunt...

[tarotgal]

Avengers: germaphobe!Tony is my headcanon. Let's say that he builds a suit to resist germs. When one (or more!) of the team catches cold, he gets into it.

Bonus points: The suit won't let him out if it senses germs around.

Extra bonus points: The damage is already done; he's already been exposed to the germs and he comes down with a cold while in the suit.

[(Anonymous)]

THIS. SOMEONE PLS. ESPECIALLY LOVE EXTRA BONUS POINTS PART

[tarotgal]

Marvel: While on a mission somewhere "exotic," Clint discovers at the worst possible moment an allergy he didn't know he had.

Bonus points: Coulson's near enough to offer comfort (and S.H.I.E.L.D.-approved allergy meds?)

[tarotgal]

Marvel (Fraction's Hawkeye): Clint's got a cold and finds no shame in calling in sick and tells Kate to take over for him. He orders pizza. He curls up on the couch under a blanket and a nice, warm dog. He marathons everything on his DVR. It's actually pretty great, apart from all the constant sneezing and sniffling. At least, it is until Coulson shows up.

[tarotgal]

Marvel: Clint is soooooooo uncontrollably sneezy. Without tissues on hand, he sneezes into Coulson's tie in a pinch. So Coulson takes off the tie. Clint sneezes into Coulson's shoulder, so Coulson takes off his suit jacket. I think you might see where this is going with the rest of Coulson's wardrobe?

Clint/Coulson, R or NC-17

[smokeycat-430.livejournal.com]

Holy shit. I know I've said this before but I will say it again: Are you trying to kill me? My brain short-circuited.

[tarotgal]

Avengers: One of the Avengers sneezes his way through a S.H.I.E.L.D. briefing. Director Fury is not amused.

[(Anonymous)]

I can totally picture this with Tony as the subject. I can't resist Tony torture. Somone fill this please??

[tarotgal]

Any fandom/rating/pairing

The only thing that makes him feel better when he's like this is...

FILL: Childhood Comfort (Hornblower fic)

[wig-powder.livejournal.com]

Being a sucker for fluffy prompts, I felt like I HAD to do this one. There's not a lot of sneezing in it, but I hope it fills the rest of the prompt well.

You can find it here:

Happy belated birthday, Tarotgal! Thanks for running this meme!

[cowboyguy.livejournal.com]

Supernatural. What if sneezes were contagious the same way yawning is? The boys find out exactly what that's like when they get cursed.

[sexualoddity.livejournal.com]

How would you feel if I Weechestered this? I'm thinking maybe 16 and 12?

[cowboyguy.livejournal.com]

The first - and maybe only - time Sam gets to go to an awards ceremony for something. Maybe he got some academic award in school, or it's an end-of-the-season soccer thing. So there he is at this big fancy dinner, dressed in his one slightly threadbare dress shirt, with his brother there instead of his parents like all the other kids, because John had more important things to do. He's already feeling kind of awkward, and that's when he realizes that he's really allergic to the flowers that are in the table centerpieces.

[tarotgal]

Hell yes. I now fully believe that THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED!

[cowboyguy.livejournal.com]

Wee!chesters. Little Sammy goes through a period where he loves to count everything -- cars on the road, french fries on his plate, Dean's sneezes when he gets sick...
