@febuwhump Day 11: Fever

Fandom: Quantum Leap Whumpee:  Ian Wright

Summary: Ian goes to work sick, because of course they do.

((credit to @sagetheenbymage for the brief mention of the character Fern towards the end!! ))

~~*———————————————*~~

Ian felt like ass. They were pretty sure they looked like ass too, despite the copious amounts of foundation and concealer they’d attempted to hide their gaunt features and eye bags with. They scarcely had the energy to even do their hair this morning, the fuzzy mess of bleached, untamed curls left to do what it liked and they just knew it looked like ass.

“You look like ass, Ian,” was literally the first thing out of Jenn’s mouth when they came to work.

“Ian, are you okay? You look... tired,” was Addison’s slightly more tactful first words.

“Oh, hell no. No way. No.” was Magic’s reaction. “What are you doing working in this state?”

Ian tried to brush him off, staring intently at Ben’s vitals as if the words on screen would stop blurring in and out of each other if they just looked a little harder. They were fairly sure they were shivering despite how unreasonably warm someone had made it in here -- were they sweating? Great, they probably smelled like ass now.

“Ian, answer me.” Magic’s voice was a little firmer this time, clearly not happy about being ignored despite his concern. “You’re not doing anyone any favors by being here.”

“I’m fine,” Ian insisted, “I’m functioning.”

“You’ve been staring at that screen saying nothing for about an hour,” Jenn called over from her desk, leaning to shoot them a raised brow, “Bull.”

Ian shot her a sharp glare -- then quickly regretted it as their vision swam. Hell, maybe they were a little sicker than they thought. “Look, I-I have to monitor Ben’s leaps. I have to keep an eye on Ziggy, I can’t just not come to work.”

“You saying my team isn’t capable of covering you for a couple damn days?” Magic lifted a brow of his own, and Ian felt their cheeks darken under the makeup (though if it was embarassment or a hot flush they weren’t sure). “Or that they’re disposable enough you can risk spreading whatever damn flu you’ve got to everyone else?”

“No-.. no of course not, I just-..” Great, they were getting flustered and not even in a fun way. As their breaths picked up their head swam and before they could collect themself Magic had to catch them in a swoon, carefully supporting them upright and looking them dead in the eye. “Go home, Ian.”

“If you move now you can catch a ride with Fern,” Jenn called over, “They’re finishing their shift in five.”

“I can drive, Jenn.”

“I’ll bring your car by later. You’re not driving like this.”

raymond (Ben) , Catlin (Addison) , and Georgina (Janice) adre all in there 30s (r=35 c=33 g=37) and narissa (Jenn) is a little order at 40 years old and ernie (magic/Herbert) is the oldest at a wopping 77 years old. And mason (Ian) is the youngest at 28

WAIT !

Possible Major endgame Quantum Leap (2022) spoilers below the cut because I just had a Galaxy Brain Realization after reading the cast / character list in the new trailer.

Like seriously, lol. I think I just solved how/why Sam (eventually) gets home.

herbert "magic" williams??

is that the same "magic" from the "lets save tom from vietnam" episode?!?!?

the same "magic" that tom told about how his little brother claimed to be from the future!?

that "magic" is now the leader of the new project quantum leap!?

Did Sam Leap into Vietnam as Magic to hear Tom talk about his time-traveling little brother that would then inspire him to eventually resurrect Project Quantum Leap, having realized that Tom Beckett's brother went missing 30 years ago, and that his brother went missing because he was traveling in time!?!?!?!?!?

This is my first Quantum Leap fanfic in a while and my first for the new show. I know there are doubtless a few timeline issues since the timeline of the original show and the new show haven't been fully established yet, and this story will no doubt be superseded by information gleaned from tonight's new episode, but I wanted to write the story anyway because I find Janis to be a fascinating character.

Can’t wait for all of this to be decanonized in a few hours!

BBC Big Read List

Many years ago, I first started tallying the books from the BBC Big Read list, seeing how my reading and interests correllate. I don't take it as the "one truth" on which books are worth reading or "good", I just find it interesting which ones I agree with. Let's go!

Read: 57 Want to read: 60

Some of the books to read I know very little about except the title and that they're classics, some others I know a lot about (and I even have "Men at Arms" on my TBR pile for when the mood strikes me next). I like reading classics once in a while, but especially older ones I can't read too often, I need to be in the right mood for that style of writing.

The last time I updated this was in 2015 and I had read 44 and wanted to read 72 - so 15 books in 9 years xD Like I said, it's not a challenge or a goal to read all of them, just a convenient way of keeping track of which classics I want to read eventually.
