Tumblr media Tumblr media
THE DOOR CLICKED SHUT and you could hear him taking off his shoes. it was another late night when you tried to stay awake to welcome your boyfriend home, but you were yet again unable to keep your eyes open.
he found you curled up on the couch with a blanket over you, but you had woken up by the sound of the door closing and you immediately rushed to his side. “hi, my love—“ you stopped in the middle of your sentence when you saw the unmistakable hurt expression on his face.
something was wrong.
your hands cautiously reached for his face, cupping it. he subconsciously leaned into your right hand, his eyes failing to meet yours and you were immediately able to figure out why. he didn’t want you to see him like this. as if he was weak, as if he had failed.
you said, "hey," in a gentle tone that made him feel calm and at ease. the terrible headache had begun as soon as he made his way to your shared apartment. he was unable to stop thinking about his late best friend's final moments as they continued to play back in his mind. this caused his thoughts to stray and consider the risk he was putting you in simply because you were his girlfriend. he feared he might end up being a burden for you.
“you’re alright now. are you willing to talk about it?” you had secretly hoped that he would agree to talk since you were so curious about what was going through his mind, though it wasn't a hard guess.
however, he mumbled a quiet no, and with that, you nodded courteously and took his hand in yours. guiding him to the bathroom where you pointed at the counter for him to sit. without a second thought, he obeyed your command and took a seat. the much taller and much more powerful man had suddenly seemed so fragile. so, tired.
you took out the first aid kit from one of the cabinets and set it down beside him. after opening the kit, you took out some patches and rubbing alcohol. his head was cocked to the side to reveal the cut as your hand gently made contact with his jaw. considering that he possessed the infinity technique, it was peculiar for him to return home hurt. and if not, he had the option of visiting shoko to receive healing without the need for any ordinary medical attention.
you had no idea that gojo's only desire was to be cared for and to feel your touch.
before applying the rubbing alcohol-soaked patch to his face, you gave him a heads-up saying "this might sting a little." gojo did not make any movement. rather, his hand reached for your hand that was set on his jaw.
once you finished stitching him up, you gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. he pouted at that and pointed to his lips, earning him a soft laugh from you. you took a step forward and delicately kissed him, your arms around his neck. you leaned backwards, your eyes finding his.
"how about you take a shower and we'll call it a night?" you propositioned, your head tilting to the side and a soft smile was displayed on your face.
"are you saying that i smell?"
your eyes widened at that and you jokingly slapped his arm. "no, you idiot. i'm saying that a shower will help you relax and then we'll go to sleep. i know you're not ready to tell me what happened, so we can just wait until tomorrow. you need some rest."
and in this exact moment, gojo realized that he didn't know what he did to deserve you.
he didn't have to pretend around you. he didn't have to put on the act of making silly jokes and pretending to be fine just because he was the strongest.
no. with you, he was 'toru.
your 'toru.
after his shower, you both found your way to your shared bed. he held you so close to him, but you didn't complain. you couldn't. it was the only way gojo was sure that nothing would happen to you once he closed his eyes, and even so, he still tried to look out for you with his senses.
"hey, y/n." satoru said, loud enough for you to hear but also to soothe you to sleep. "yes?"
"would you still love me if i was a frog and there was no way i could turn into a human?"
usually, you would've rolled your eyes at his silly nighttime questions and told him to go to sleep. but this time, you knew that he needed you to answer. because this wasn't just a silly question. no, he was indirectly asking you if you aren't tired of him.
"i would love you. and in every other universe, i would find my way to you and kiss you once more."
"i love you."
"i love you too. now, rest."

Would you be able to write a blurb with Charles or lando with reader going through it with postpartum? Feeling down and sore maybe recovering after a c section or like issues w breastfeeding. You always write them so well and I need more to tame my baby fever
Note: this can also be considered a sneak peek of a big piece request I have coming up 🤍 also, thank you for taking the time to leave the compliment, it truly makes my day ✨️
Cw: breastfeeding, c-section, post partum, scarring, low mood, self-doubt
"Love, can you fill this bottle again, please?", you asked Lando so you could drink water while you fed Fraser, "it's supposed to help with healing and milk production and health stuff", you gestured.
Chuckling at your words, Lando went to the kitchen to fill it and brought it back, straw ready for you to drink from.
"He's getting bigger, don't you think?", Lando said, sitting next to you on the sofa and kissing your naked shoulder, "you're doing such a good job, baby, I love you", he whispered.
"Just doing what needs to be done", you shrugged your shoulders. It had been a whole rollercoaster with Fraser and you were just grateful that you were home with your family, safe and sound. The rest, you were taking day by day.
"You've been amazing, beautiful. I don't know how to thank you for how much you do for him, for our family", he said as he squeezed your arm reassuringly, "I know it can be hard to believe, but I'm telling the truth. Matilda kept telling her friends that mummy is her hero when I dropped her off", he smiled.
Having surgery, not being able to hold your baby straight away and all of the complications that arose stretched you to the furthest of your physical and emotional abilities, trying to make sure everything was right and doing well, but it was exhausting you.
After feeding and burping Fraser, he was also put in the tiny bedside cot, making you take advantage of the fact that you were up to get your nightitme routine down. After your shower, you rubbed moisturiser on the skin, grabbing the ointment to put on your scar. You wouldn't trade it for the world, your baby boy was brought earthside from there, but the pain and sensitivity were still heightened despite the medications you were taking.
"Baby, is everything alright in there?", Lando said as he opened the door slightly, not missing your rushed movements to pull your nightgown down, "yes, just need to brush my teeth", you attempted a smile.
"I want to take care of you tonight, if you'll allow me", Lando said as he kissed the nape of your neck once you sat on the bed next to him.
"Lando, I don't- we can't-", you attempted, tears falling from your eyes the minute you felt his hands on the side of your boobs.
"Baby, Y/N, darling, I'm not doing anything you don't want to, but I'd like you to relax for a little bit", he encouraged, kissing away your tears, "I hate seeing you like this and I wish I could take this pain away from you", he muttered.
Taking a deep breath, you fiddled with the bracelet on your wrist before you seeked the comfort of his hand in yours, lacing your fingers as you traced his wedding band, "I've been feeling... a lot of things", you started softly, your husband not pressuring you to speak and accepting your touch, "I feel like we're out of the woods - finally - but then it still hurts and I can't do all the things I want and it sucks", you said as tears welled up again,
"Baby, that little boy loves you so much. You're his mummy, and it is because you're so attentive to him that you can't do him wrong. Matilda, who was the biggest daddy's girl I have ever met, doesn't even care about me anymore", he joked, "she's always like, 'yes,b but mummy did this and that and so on', and you know I can't argue with her because she's right! She's in awe of you and you're the best example for her", he kissed your forehead.
"I just feel like I'm slower than everyone else else and that I'm not coming back as quick, and I'm not on top of all of it already", you groaned, "he just learned to latch properly this week - and it's not his fault because he's so clever already -, and then I look at his handsome face and there's this rush of love", you shook your head, "it's so much, all at once".
"It's normal, gorgeous. And you're taking it like a champ, I'm so proud of you for that. I love you for that and so much more", he said earnestly, "you're the best mummy - me, Fraser and Matilda all agree", he smiled, pulling you to rest against his chest and rubbing your arm.
"Tilly's really said that?", you chuckled, "I think it was more like 'mummy was able to feed Fraser and help me with my homework at the same time. Why are you struggling so much?', but, you know, maybe I'm just reading too much into it, you know?", he shrugged his shoulders, happy to see you smile genuinely and calmly.
(Thank you for submitting an ask ✨️)

Can i request headcandons of Miguel and miles(earth 42) with a shy nurse reader? I just love the dynamic of hero/vigilante who falls over his heels for his nurse or even being protective over them, but if u don't want to make this request i understand
i love this idea sm, hope this is what you had in mind!
Miguel O'Hara
Tumblr media
✮ it had been lyla's idea initially. back when the spider society was fairly new and everyone was still finding their feet. she had suggested that the building require a medical center; a place where spider-people could go to to get patched up, instead of having to travel back to their universes to seek medical attention.
✮ he was very reluctant, didn't want any outsiders working at the society but after some convincing he agreed. the medical center was a great asset to the society, and it helped a lot of spider-people get help quickly and recuperate if needed. It hadn't been till Miguel himself needed patching up himself that he met you.
✮ you were quite shy, keeping any conversation brief and only doing your job, and once you were done patching him up, you gave him a small smile and went on with your day, helping whoever was next in line. against his better judgement and completely out of character, he had returned your gesture with a smile that mirrored your uncertainty and shyness.
✮ he didn't know what it was, but he found himself quite drawn to you. even though you were always so introverted around him, you would often times crack a joke or two when you were around your colleagues, or even with other spider-people you were comfortable around.
✮ sometimes when working in his office (is it his office even, what do you call that room?) he'd see what you were up to using the surveillance system that ran throughout the whole building.
✮ the more times he came to you when injured, the more you came out your shell once you realized he wasn't as mean as he looked (at least not with you). You started talking more with him, little bits of your personality slowly revealing itself as time went on.
✮ most mornings he'd make an appearance at the center to quote "make sure everything was running smoothly", but he really just needed a reason to see you, talk to you a little more.
✮ some nights when he was on patrol, he'd go to where you lived (he used poor lyla to get that information) to go and see if you were okay.
✮ God forbid anyone is even slightly mean to you when he's around to see it, because best believe he will be giving them shit about it.
✮ and when he's injured, he's never saying he's gonna go to the medical center or to the nurse, it always "I'm gonna go see (your name)" he doesn't even notice he's doing it until Jess is giving him a skeptical look about his choice of words.
✮ and he's also received a multitude of teasing from Lyla because he'd been so reluctant about the idea, and now if he wasn't in his office, he was with you.
"I'm off to the medical center, Lyla, please keep all unnecessary matters on hold 'till I'm back," Miguel said, and at once the AI appeared on his shoulder, a smile ever present on her small face. "Say hi to (your name) for me," she said with a smirk, before disappearing once again, not giving Miguel any time to argue.
Earth 42 Miles Morales:
he's aged up to 19/20 just for practicality.
Tumblr media
✮ miles had went to visit his mother at the hospital she works at when he saw you. it was just in passing, you had almost bumped into him and apologized profusely before being on your way once again. he didn't recognize as one of his mom's colleagues, many who he has met.
✮ so he asked her who you were. "one of our newer nurses here, around your age too," she answered with a knowing smirk.
✮ he saw you again when he was making his way back home, just outside the hospital and seemingly on your lunch break. he approached you and the two of you quickly clicked. even through your shy demeanor, he didn't miss your stunning personality and sense of humor.
✮ you became pretty close, and his visits to the hospital increased. he'd always go to his mother first of course, but always as subtly as he could slip in a little "where's (your name)?"
"working, miles," rio would reply with a smile.
✮ it wasn't until he got a little scraped up during one of his prowler-activities. and when he arrived at your apartment in the dead of the night all scraped up, you were a little taken aback to say the least. you still helped him though, no question asked and from then on, every time he got hurt, he'd always come to you to help him out.
✮ he'd still frequent the hospital, coming to keep you company on your breaks and when you clocked out, he'd walk you home, seeing as most of the time you worked till nighttime.
✮ he's always visiting you at home as well, taking you out when you had the day off or just staying at home with you when you were too tired to go out, keeping you company.
"Please sit still," you whispered as you wiped at the nasty gash just above his eyebrow. "That stuff stings," he said through gritted teeth, once again wincing with a small hiss when the alcohol touched the wound. "Then you shouldn't get hurt so much, tough guy," you said, smiling at the pout present on his face.

YANDERE!READER X CARELESS!WILLING!SIMON PT2.
previous part —> here | next part —> here
cw: mentions of blood, gore, obsession, perverse and creepy reader, yandere intendecies, mention of a random oc. implied fem reader but i tried to make it as gender neutral as possible.
MDNI – MINORS DO NOT INTERACT
mini taglist (by mini i mean two people who've requested 😭): @warlike-morning @smoothruby
*✧・゚: *✧・゚
Careless!Willing!Simon 'Ghost' Riley, who you've tried to avoid the hell out of and he's realised. he isn't daft, and you aren't as slick as you thought you were. don't think he hasn't noticed whenever he's injured you're not there, but whenever someone else is injured, you magically appear out thin air. when you sit across the mess hall, staring at him as per usual and he catches you, you immediately continue eating your lunch as if nothing happened. oh, how it makes him laugh. he finds it adorable, thinking your plans have worked, but really, he's outsmarted you.
── ✧《✩》✧ ──
their was a new female recruit that joined the task force a couple of weeks ago, her name was ella and to everyone else she was a dove but to you she was fucking raven. always batting her stupid eyelids at simon whenever he's talking. always fucking laughing extra hard at his jokes. always giving him her sickening sweet smile. gosh, that stupid smile makes you want to rip out each and every one of teeth and shove it right up her ass.
what makes it worse is that she knows, she knows, how obsessed you were with simon. dirty fucking slag asked you what do you think about him on her first day, when helping her with her injury she got from training, she seemed sweet so you told her that you had a crush on him. she told you, you could trust her and that she'll keep it a secret; clearly that was a fucking lie. she knows how much you fucking like him, she's just being a filthy attention-seeking slut.
you try to ignore it and focus on your job but of course, this dumb bitch has to come back because she has an injury on her arm, crying like a fucking baby and you being 'sweet' person you are, said sure you'll help her with a half-assed smile.
you told her to lift up her sleeve, it was a cut, not even that deep, it was deep, so why the fuck is she being such a big baby about it. you had to force yourself not to roll your eyes at her sobs and that to only keep calm until the stiching part. oh you can't wait until that bit. you carefully treated her wound, cleaning blood up and then you grabbed your stiching kit. you grabbed your hegar (needle holder) and you grabbed the thread, before you poked the needle straight into her wound.
she screamed and you quickly covered her mouth, grinning as she sobbed and try to squirm away from your grip, you could finally tell her, what you want her to do.
"scream once, i will poke the needle in harder, understand."
you said 'understand' like a sentence, a threat and you grinned as she nods. you uncover her mouth and she continues crying, what a fucking baby.
"now ella, remember your first day, when i told you i fancied simon?"
she speaks and you couldn't even hold in your laugh, her voice is broken with sobs and the stuttering makes it even better!
"y-yeah...i remember t-that."
"mmm. that's good, so why for the past 3 weeks have you been flirting with him, huh?"
"i w-wasn't fli-flirting with him"
you slowly poke the needle in harder and as her eyes widen in shock and pain.
"o-ok! o-ok! i was and i'm s-sorry, i won't do it again!"
"won't do what again?"
"i won't f-flirt with s-simon again!"
you were about to say good girl but you were cut of by someone opening the door, you could've sworn you locked it!? you turn, only to see the person you've been trying avoid, simon.
he stares at the two of you, you could he was grinning from under thar mask of his.
"caught you red-handed again, medic."
he said before continuing leaving the two of you alone, you couldn't help but chuckle at that. a little inside joke the pair of you share. ella, poor sweet ella, looked so confused when he didn't help her. you pouted at her mockingly before you pulled the needle out her wound roughly, snickering at her pained whine she let out and then stiched her up.
"tell anyone about this and i will kill you, understood?"
she stare at you like your crazy and nods before rushing out of there. you snicker, 'stupid bimbo', you thought but then you replay simon's words your head.
"caught you red-handed again, medic."
fuck...now what?

Hihi! Can I pretty please request Dazai with an s/o who has a healing ability that bypasses No Longer Human? Like, Dazai cannot nullify the healing ability like every other ability. Can I also pretty please request Fyodor with a fem s/o who has albinism? (I'm a girl with albinism lol)
that's what makes you unique
Tumblr media
synopsis - how are they when their s/o has a unique ability/trait
includes - dazai, fyodor
warnings - gn!reader - implied fem in fyodor's, fluff, slight crack, wc - 396
Tumblr media
osamu dazai ★↷
↪he always joked about at first. when you saw him get injured time and time again you insisted he let you try and heal him but he would laugh and say that no matter how much he'd want you to, you couldn't.
↪but you weren't so deterred. in truth you weren't so sure yourself that your ability wouldn't be nullified but you wanted to atleast try.
↪you wanted to try for his sake. but everytime you brought it up he'd laugh and say that it was impossible. say that his ability would cancel it out the minute you touched him.
↪but you wouldn't let up. everytime you offered and everytime he denied. but eventually you'd convince him, whether it was to heal a small injury or he had no other choice in battle.
↪the look on his face the moment he saw your ability activate despite you touching him was one you had engraved into your mind. he truly was in disbelief.
↪you were rather happy that you could help him and he was overjoyed himself. no longer would he actually have to seek out a hospital when injured, he could come to you. the person he trusted most.
↪ although sometimes you'd wish it didn't work. those times were when you couldn't give him much attention due to you being busy so he took it upon himself to dramatically burst into your office.
↪ he'd claim he was deeply hurt and only you could fix him, but you both knew it was his excuse for you to pay him attention.
Tumblr media
fyodor dostoevsky ★↷
↪ he would show it no interest at first. why should he. he's already deemed you someone he'd allow himself to be in a relationship with so whatever you looked like bared no intrest to him.
↪but if you managed to squeeze out his real opinion, he'd say it was rather beautiful. no matter what you look like he'd think you were stunning but there was something more beautiful about it.
↪but he also was well educated and knew that albinism mainly affected not only skin and hair pigments but eyesight.
↪so if you were one of the unlucky ones and had developed such problems he'd make sure you would take any medication you needed.
↪call him a hypocrite, but he only had your best inteest at heart.

Hugging the clones for comfort headcanons: The 501st
(With a hint of gray and orange ;) )
Tumblr media
Captain Rex
The first time you hug him, he doesn't know what's happening, so it's like hugging a plank 💀
However once you explain to him what you're doing he relaxes into it and starts hugging you back, albeitly hesitantly.
It'll take a couple tries for him to get comfortable with it, but he's holding     you gently and providing you with the comfort you need before you know it!
Once he's used to it, whenever you come and hug him without a word he'll stop everything he's doing to hold you until you feel better.
He's a big fan of forehead kisses, it makes him feel tall :')
Tumblr media
Fives
This man is a cuddle bug, once you're hugged him you're done for.
Fives is down for hugs anytime, anywhere. He's not really afraid of PDA, whether it's romantic or platonic. He wants to be able to help in whichever way he can, so bad jokes usually come with the hug.
He's so touch-deprived please hold him it makes him so happy
Once he's comfortable enough he'll start initiating the hugs, he likes to sneak up on you from behind and surprise you with a sneak hug >:D
He's quite a cuddle bug during movies on a couch beneath a blanket with a bowl of popcorn, movie nights are definitely the best with this guy!
Tumblr media
Echo
Echo can be a bit shy, so the first time you hug him his face is definitely     lighting up like fireworks!
After you pull back he'll just stare in disbelief and ask you, what was that? Once you explain it to him however he calms down and understands a lot better.
Echo is the kind of guy who will guide you through things if you're in need of comfort. He'll pat your back and talk to you gently, asking you if you're    all right. He's the best person to go to if you need to calm down.
Even if he gets used to it Echo blushes a bit everytime you hug him, not being used to this kind of touch. It's actually pretty cute :')
With time he'll relax into the hug and hold you gently in his arms, against his chest so you can feel safe and comforted. He'll lean his chin on top of  your head sometimes, wrapping you in his body.
Tumblr media
Jesse
Jesse is one of the guys who's coolest with the whole 'hug out of nowhere' thing, freezing at first before he just quirks a brow and chuckles at you.
He'll joke at first to wave off his surprise, but then get more serious and hold you gently as he asks you if you're all right.
Jesse is a pretty good listener, so he can offer an ear for you or just stand  there and hug in silence if that's what you need. He's also always got a     joke up his sleeve should you need it.
You can honestly walk up to Jesse anytime for a hug, he'll always be happy to hug it out, even in front of his brothers. Although he may brag about it to them
He's a big fan of holding you in his lap as he hugs you against his chest.
Tumblr media
Hardcase
We all know Hardcase can never sit still, but when you hug him? Not one movement from him. It's like a puppy standing at attention after seeing a squirrel.
He'll fumble with his words a bit as he tries to comprehend what's happening, but if you're able to soothe him or ask him to just hold you for a minute he'll go quiet and hug you as long as he needs.
If you hug him too long he'll start fidgetting because of his hyperactivity,     which is always a good way to get a laugh out of you. If you call him out     about it he'll become flustered and frustrated that he can't keep still.
Hardcase's hugs are warm and tight. He's surprisingly okay with touch, and his hugs are some of the most satisfying you can get.
The best way to get him to stop fidgetting around is to surprise him with a  kiss on the cheek ;)
Tumblr media
Kix
As a medic, Kix has the care and well-being of others at heart. So if you come to him for a hug seeking comfort, even if he's not familiar with these... methods, he'll be happy to oblige.
Kix is someone you can come back to for hugs whenever you need them. He'll hold you silently as you calm down before asking you what happened.
His patience shows in his hug, as he'll hold you gently and won't pull you  back until you do or ask him to. There's no rush in his movements, and he commits his full attention to you as long as you need.
At the end of the hug, Kix will give you things like meds or sweets, whatever you need to be feel better.
After some time your hugs grow off him and he starts asking you for them as well! It helps with the stress from his job as a medic. He loves it when    you hide your face in his shoulder and he can tuck a hand behind your head and stroke your hair.
Tumblr media
Tup
Along with Rex, Tup is definitely one of the more awkward clones from the 501st with hugs. He'll just freeze and stand there as you hug him, heart     pounding in his chest.
He'll definitely need explanations to understand what happened, but once he does he's surprisingly kind and understanding about it. Although he's a bit awkward with the gesture, he'll never deny you and will pat your back    until you calm down.
Tup is the kind of guy who'll stick around with you after the hug to make sure you're all right. He's quite caring in that quiet way of his, his eyes     holding worry even when you reassure him you're fine.
Tup is more than happy to go to a coffee shop or park with you afterwards! Although he may not say it out loud he enjoys spending time with you outside a military context and in these moments he'll open up to you a bit more.
He secretly loves it when you lean his head on his shoulder :')
Tumblr media
Commander Cody
Being a commander, Cody has experience with people dealing with stress and even breakdowns, so he's not exactly a stranger to comforting people.
Even if he is initially taken off-guard by your hug, he'll ease into it a lot     faster than you might expect and return the hug. "All right, all right. Easy there..."
He's calm and patient the entire time, easing you with soft words of     encouragement and holding you gently. He won't rush you, pulling back only once you've calmed down.
He'll sit down with you and talk once you're feeling better if you'd like. He's one of the most sympathetic and understanding clones in the lot when it     comes to this things, and there's no truly no shame to be felt about your     moment of vulnerability around Cody.
If hugging becomes a regular thing, you'll quickly notice he has a knack for securing his arms around your waists and hips ;)
Tumblr media
Commander Wolffe
Wolffe may seem difficult to approach and like the last person who would return a hug, but... Well. You're in for one hell of a surprise.
He'll grumble about it at first, but it doesn't take long before he wraps an     arms around you and holds you against his side, glaring at your     surroundings protectively (which effectively scares most living beings in     the proximity away).
Although he may come off as grumpy about it, Wolffe does ask if you're doing okay and will demand you come back to him if something ever happens. He's pretty protective like that!
It doesn't take you long to realize that the grumbling is actually all a     cover-up to hide the fact that Wolffe is a huge cuddle bug.
When it's just the two of you off-duty he can't keep his hands off you and wraps around you like a cocoon. If you poke at him too much about it he'll just grumble and hide his face in your hair :')
Hope you guys enjoyed! Let me know which headcanon was your favourite 💖

Safe With Me
Summary: Dalton is really sick and his girlfriend drops everything to take care of him.
Word Count: 2.4k+
Warnings: established relationship, language, mentions of throwing up, comfort, pure fluff
A/N: Hi! I had a couple of requests asking for sick!Dalton so I decided to write this! and if i’m being completely honest i not sure how i feel about 😭 hopefully is not too gross. also i’m sorry if it’s too long and redundant but I hope you’ll like it! Pls let me know what you think <3
MASTERLIST     ✩    SEND ME A REQUEST
Tumblr media
Ever since his coma Dalton was terrified of getting sick. He now knew he wasn’t actually sick back then, but that suffocating feeling never went away.
And his current state was unfortunate, to say the least. He didn’t even leave his bed in the morning, cause as soon as he woke up he noticed a pounding headache, a runny nose, a sore throat, constant sweating and intense body pain. There was no way he could go to class.
Before notifying his girlfriend that he would miss class, he looked up his symptoms to make sure he didn’t need to seek medical attention, quickly coming to the conclusion that he had a simple cold. He should’ve seen it coming, he wasn’t feeling the best the day prior but brushed it off thinking he was just tired.
Dalton: Not gonna make it to class today, woke up with a cold :/ sorry baby
He fell back asleep almost immediately, but sadly not for long. His body temperature suddenly dropped, making him shiver, so he brought up his blanket and tried to cover his entire body with it, but stopped when he suddenly felt hot again.
Dalton was sure he had never been this sick, he was uncomfortable, his throat was incredibly dry and his whole body sticky from sweat. It even hurt to sneeze. He let out a loud moan in discomfort and a few seconds later, he heard the door open.
“Sorry, I didn’t know if you were awake and I didn’t wanna bother you” Y/N said softly entering the room. She was holding a few blankets and pillows that covered her face but he knew it was her. Dalton covered himself again, up to his head, he didn’t want Y/N to see him like this, not when his hair was an absolute mess and his pajamas looked like he took a shower in them.
“What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be in class?” He asked under the blankets.
Y/N put down the stuff on the other bed, “I’ve never missed a day, I’m sure I can afford skipping one class” She approached Dalton’s bed and kneeled next to him “Hey, how bad is it?”
“It’s bad, I don’t wanna get you sick too” He replied, his throat hurting every time he spoke.
“You’ll be happy to know that I don’t care” She joked, but Dalton remained silent “I assume you didn’t have any breakfast yet”
“No”
“Well I bought you some chicken soup, you should eat it while it’s still hot, it will be good for you” She stared at the lump on Dalton’s bed, waiting for him to come out or at least say something “Baby come on, let me see you”
Dalton appreciated her ditching class to take care of him, it truly warmed his heart and all he wanted to do was show her how thankful he was, but what if she got sick because of him? What if he looks really bad right now? “I don’t look good” He finally muttered.
“What?” Y/N chuckled, thinking he was joking.
“I’m sweating an insane amount, I can feel my hair sticking to my face”
“Let me braid your hair so you feel less sticky on the face, it works, trust me”
Dalton thought about it for a moment, he figured she wouldn’t leave even if he directly asked her to, so he uncovered his face and shyly looked at Y/N “I feel really ill”
“I know baby, tell me what hurts”
“Everything, my entire body, the headache is terrible and I get really cold but after a second I feel like I’m boiling”
Y/N touched his forehead as soon as she noticed his blushed face “Baby, you’re really hot”
“I know that” He joked with a smirk on his face.
Y/N rolled her eyes but couldn’t contain her laughter “Good to know your sense of humor remains untouched” She stood up and grabbed a food container from her backpack “You’re gonna eat your soup while I braid your hair and I promise it will make you feel at least a little bit better”
“My hair is all covered in sweat though” He sat on his bed waiting for Y/N to give him his food.
“That’s ok” She opened the container and Dalton could see the steam that came off of it. Y/N looked through her bag for a spoon, but she had so many things she thought would make him feel better it took her a while. She was pulling out a bunch of other stuff, but when she finally found it she carefully put the bowl in his hands “It’s really hot so please be careful”
Dalton took it and whispered a little “Thank you”
“You might feel hotter for a moment but this is good, you need a lot of fluids. Now I’m gonna sit behind you, is that ok?” Dalton nodded, blowing into his soup so he wouldn’t burn his tongue.
Y/N struggled a little to get behind him, staying on her knees to make sure she had full access to Dalton’s hair “Are you comfortable?”
��Yes”
“Ok, should I do one or two?” She started brushing his hair. He was right, he was sweating a lot but Y/N didn’t care, she just wanted to take proper care of her boyfriend. She was being extremely careful for a number of reasons.
They stayed like that for a few minutes, it didn’t take her long to figure out how to put two french braids on him without pulling his hair or making his headache worse “Done” She said getting back on her feet, taking a good look at how Dalton looked with braided hair. Her heartbeats began to increase “You look really cute”
Dalton’s face was burning, and it wasn’t the fever “Thank you. I actually do feel much better” And he was, he was surprised at how lighter his head felt without all that hair resting on his face or shoulders.
“See? I told you” She then kissed her fingertip and tapped Dalton’s nose with it, making him melt at her touch ”Finish your soup, I’m gonna see if Chris still has that humidifier”
Y/N left his dorm, leaving him alone again. Somehow he already felt better, even though everything hurt the same. But he had to admit that the hot chicken soup was a good call.
Once he was done with it, he laid back down carefully, not wanting to ruin his freshly styled hair. And only a few minutes later, he heard the door again “No luck with the humidifier but this will help too” He paid attention to her hands, she was holding a bucket and a dry cloth “Just this one last thing and I’ll let you go back to sleep” She said as if she was bothering him, Dalton didn’t feel like she was, if anything it was the other way around and he should be the one apologising. She put down the bucket next to his bed and waited for him to sit again, this time paying attention to his damped clothes “Why don’t you change into some dry clothes?”
He looked down at his shirt and felt embarrassed when he noticed how much it looked like he’d been drowned in a rainstorm, it didn’t look like that before but it must’ve been the hot liquids “Okay” He agreed, about to get up but Y/N stopped him.
She wandered around his room, grabbing clean clothes that she believed would be comfortable for him to wear. She didn’t want him to feel too hot or too cold again, so she went for a happy medium. A shirt and underwear. He probably shouldn’t deal with too many layers anyway “Here, I’ll help you change”
She helped him with everything, which he was really thankful for since his body was too weak and in pain to do it by himself. Tossing his dirty clothes somewhere in the room, she proceeded to grab the pillows she previously set on the other bed and started arranging them around Dalton to make his uncomfortable bed a little more pleasant.
“Are you comfortable?” She asked looking down at him, he nodded in response “Sure?”
“Positive” Even his voice was weak.
After he was settled, Y/N reached into the bucket and completely submerged the cloth, making sure all the excess water was cleared before moving it away from the bucket, she stroked it over his face a few times “This is great cause now if you feel like throwing up, you can use this bucket” She joked, knowing a cold wouldn’t make him feel nauseous. He chuckled at this, which made Y/N feel better “You’re all good now, why don’t you try to sleep?”
He looked up at her in pure admiration “Thank you, darling”
“For what?”
“For taking care of me” He rasped out.
“What kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn’t take care of my sick boyfriend?” He could swear he had literal heart eyes right now, nearly biting his tongue to stop himself from saying those three words, since they haven’t said it yet. But he really wanted to.
He went back to sleep, luckily this time he managed to rest for hours. In the meantime, Y/N stayed on the other bed, doing some work to stay busy and awake while she kept an eye on him in case he needed her. The hours went by and Dalton’s fever went away, finally. He woke up around 4 PM, slowly opening his eyes and squinting at the sudden brightness.
Dalton scanned the room looking for Y/N, but she was nowhere to be found. He figured it made sense that she left, he didn’t really expect her to stay there all day just to look after him.
He tried to get up but his body felt heavy. He groaned in pain and fell on his back again, strangely still feeling tired even after sleeping for hours. Before he could try again, Y/N was entering the room.
“You came back” He managed to say.
“Yeah, sorry. I was just getting you some tea” She approached him and touched his forehead, relieved that he wasn’t hot anymore “How are you feeling?”
“Better…” He replied, not so sure he wanted her to get worried “I guess my throat still hurts”
“I figured, but this honey and lemon tea will help with that” She smiled at him but when he didn’t move, she could feel the worry come back to her “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t like tea”
“Tell your cold that” Dalton pouted like a little kid, but Y/N's face remained neutral as she waited for him to take the cup. He gave in and took it anyway, it seemed like she knew what she was doing and honestly, he would do anything to ease his sore throat.
He started drinking it, slowly but surely. It didn’t taste as bad as he remembered and he started wondering if his mum was just bad at making tea “Would you cuddle with me? If it’s not too gross” He asked Y/N out of nowhere.
“Gross? Why-?”
“Cause I have been sweating a lot and it’s not like I took a shower or anything” He explained, a little embarrassed.
“Would you be grossed out if I was the sick one asking for cuddles?”
He answered immediately “No”
“See? Don’t be silly” She was happy Dalton wanted to cuddle. Since she got there in the morning she was concerned he just wanted her out of there. Carefully she got in bed with him, sitting against the headboard and getting in a comfortable position, she waited for Dalton to lay down and nestled him down between her legs, with his back against her front.
“Thank you for staying with me. I feel much better with you”
“Really? Cause for a moment there it felt like you didn’t want me here”
“I do angel, I really do. I just…” He stopped for a moment to think about his words “I don’t wanna be a burden”
“Dalton, you know I would never think that” She was brushing his check.
“Still, you missed classes and stayed here all day… for me” He then felt guilty at his realisation “Did you eat something today?”
“I did, Chris brought some lunch for me, she was gonna get something for you too but we weren’t sure for how long you’d sleep. Are you hungry?”
“Not really” She nodded even though he couldn’t see her “I’m still tired”
Y/N has been sick before, and she knew it was exhausting to deal with it but doesn’t remember a cold taking her down like that. Still, she agreed to stay there with him while he went to sleep. Again.
Y/N didn’t notice when she started to drift off, but when she felt Dalton shivering on top of her she opened her eyes quickly.
He was freezing cold, to the point where his teeth were chattering, but his skin was so hot she could melt chocolate on his forehead.
“Dalton?” She whispered, softly moving him “Dalton, are you okay?”
“Mhm?” He hummed. Dalton was holding the blanket tighter and closer to him.
“How are you feeling?” She kept a low voice, she didn’t wanna overwhelm him.
“I’m freezing” She was about to embrace him again, but was interrupted when Dalton abruptly sat on the bed “I think I’m gonna throw up”
Y/N followed his actions, and reached down for the bucket that was still next to them and placed it between his legs. ‘Not good’ She kept thinking, rubbing his back for comfort “If that’s the case then you’re worse than I thought, Dalton, we might have to go to the doctor” Dalton didn’t like the seriousness of her voice.
“I don’t like hospitals”
“Well, I don’t care whether you like it or not, your fever is coming back and you’re feeling nauseous, I don’t think that’s normal for a cold. You are literally shaking”
“Last time I was at the hospital my soul was trapped in The Further”
“But you’re here with me right now, aren’t you?” He stayed silent “Come on, I’m gonna take you to the hospital and I promise you’ll feel better, okay?” Dalton nodded. He knew she was taking care of him, good care of him, but anything related to sickness, doctors or hospitals triggered something in his memory that made him go back 10 years “Hey, I’m not gonna let anything bad happen to you, you’re safe with me. I promise” She said rising her pinky in front of him, satisfied when Dalton locked her pinky with his own.

More random character concepts:
In a story focusing on the least fortunate people of a city, where a large amount of the cast are homeless, there's a woman that the protagonist hears about in passing - she helps them, giving medical attention the best she can. Once someone who doesn't know her gets injured, they're told how to find her home, and they're specifically instructed to praise her. Call her beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the city. You can't go overboard.
The person seeking help goes to the right place - a run-down apartment in a row of other run-down apartment blocks, and knocks on the door. The woman inside tells them that nobody with that name lives here and she doesn't know what they're talking about, go away. Desperate for help, they remember the absurd instructions and start begging, saying that they heard that she's beautiful, that maybe even if she can't help, maybe just the mere sight of her would soothe the pain and heal them.
The door is slammed open by the most ordinary-looking 60-something woman one could think of, who looks at them sternly, herds the injured party in to stitch them back together and ask if they can be trusted to take antibiotics as instructed or should she figure out something else. She asks for no payment, other than that the patient would try to stick to the aftercare and try to avoid getting hurt again.
She's a retired nurse, and while nobody exactly knows where she gets the medications and tools she uses to treat the people who come to her for help, it's obvious that whatever way she gets them is 100% illegal. Nobody knows where the running joke of being required to praise her started from, but it's a necessary code - that is how she knows that the people seeking her help were sent by someone she knows and can trust.

So I turned my ankle taking out my trash this evening and it's swelling up beautifully-- I did a number on that ankle back in college and it regularly betrays me because of the Dumb Things I did without seeking medical attention when I was twenty-- so I've decided to prop it up on the couch and ice the hell out of it and watch the special features on my ANDOR Blu-Ray.
Here's a short list of Cool Things I've learned:
Diego says that it was important to show Cassian being nice to B2EMO in the first bit of episode one, because you needed to see Cassian show care and kindness for someone-- because he's not a particularly awesome guy at the beginning.
The set designer for the Andor house on Ferix made macrame door curtains out of metal scrap and bolts because they wanted a 1970s feel with an industrial twist. Also, the set designer pronounces "macrame" with the accent on the second syllable, and I've never heard it that way before? British folks, is that standard on your fair isle? Because hereabouts it's MAC-rah-may, or maybe mac-rah-MAY if you're fancy. But it sure as hell isn't mah-CRAHM-eh.
Just so many gorgeous shots of Ferix, man. And all the costumes and details-- it looks SO GOOD, even when it's clearly just a set and not the finished version. The actors all clearly adored working in the physical space.
During the Aldhani arc, the Aldhani rebel cell actors worked extensively together with the director to train, rehearse, and develop chemistry-- and they deliberately didn't bring Diego Luna in until they were ready to shoot for real. So the Aldhani squad had this rapport and inside jokes and relationships, and THEN they dropped Luna in so he would feel properly like an outsider.
And they did the SAME THING on the Narkina 5 arc. All the prisoners rehearsed together well before they brought in Luna, so he wouldn't have the same understanding of the space or tools or way the actors related to each other. Love it. Really smart decision, and it paid off.
The visual reference for what the Eye would look like when you were flying through it was a close-up of a human iris, and actually-- yeah. They did that really, really well.
They made the prison on Narkina 5 the same shape as the planetary shield generator on Scarif, and I have no idea how I didn't notice that before.
Stellan Skarsgard was clearly DELIGHTED by Luthen's big speech in "Nobody's Listening." He talks about how when he read it, he was like, "Absolutely, this is the dilemma, isn't it? How far can you go in the name of change?," followed immediately by, "Now, how in the world do I SAY that?!"
The musicians in "Rix Road" are really playing on set-- they did ADR over top for sound quality but in order to give the actors the right feel, the musicians are really playing and the instruments all are fully functional. The musicians are a mix of studio musicians who are on the final recording and some talented amateurs who also work as background actors, so you get the imperfect, community-band style tuning, which is what they wanted.
And there's a bunch of other cool stuff, but my ankle is throbbing, so I'm going to go take a painkiller and go to bed I think.

I keep forgetting to make this post (you will chuckle in a second) but I've just recently been diagnosed with ADHD (pause for laughter).
It's really weird but extremely validating to have been diagnosed this late in life. Even now, telling family and friends, I'm hearing a lot of 'you're just forgetful', 'oh that's normal you don't have ADHD' (mickey mouse voice: my family most likely has ADHD too), and my favorite 'you just cry from frustration from being unable to focus on your job because you need to pay better attention'. So it's been a lonely process and I'd love to hear if anyone else has gone through the same thing? I am in the process of searching for medication... and idk how to do that or what that looks like for my future. So any advice would be very appreciated.
Also extra thanks to everyone who makes ADHD posts/jokes here and also Travis McElroy that slowly, but surely, made the topic pop up so much for me that it pushed me to do some research about it and seek a diagnosis.

how you will heal, and you'll rise above
Tumblr media
❀ you're injured in a fight, and seek help. how do the genshin men react to the sight of you bleeding? (gn!reader)
feat. diluc, kaeya, zhongli cw. discussions of injury notes. my first post on this blog! i hope you all enjoy ♡
Tumblr media
DILUC
the young ragnvindr scion is no stranger to blood, of course, but nonetheless - seeing it stain your skin stirs something within his chest. despite the feelings swirling within him, he's gruff as he patches your wound, only asking perfunctory questions about how and where it happened. even so, the tenderness with which he cleans and bandages the injured area speaks to his concern - as does the fire in his eyes when he looks up at you, having finished. "don't get hurt again. i can't stand seeing you injured."
KAEYA
much like his brother, kaeya is used to the sight of bloody crimson. it barely even cracks his normal unflappable demeanor. even as he helps you into his room, where he has a well-stocked supply of medical equipment, he can't resist cracking a joke about the impropriety of the situation, and how most people would be pleased to have him carrying them to bed. your glare does little to curb the twinkle in his visible eye, but he's attentive in treating your wound - clearly, he has practice. as he wraps a clean bandage around the spot, his tone takes a more serious note. "just ask me to help next time, yeah? i'll take care of things for you."
ZHONGLI
as the (former) god of war, zhongli smells the blood on you before you even knock, and he's sweeping you into his arms before you can even blink. his vessel's hands are soft, without the callouses of the hardened warrior you know him to be, and he's surprisingly delicate when he daubs water on the jagged edges of the tear in your flesh. he doesn't speak as he tends to you, but the burning gold of his gaze reminds you that as human as he may appear, the man kneeling at your feet is certainly no mere mortal. he waits until you're fully settled in his bed, wound neatly bandaged, before he finally speaks, deep voice carrying a note of command to it. "tell me where i can find the people who did this to you. it seems they need to be taught a lesson."

My favorite is when Yuu is from America (If they refer to it as USA Crowley might think it was some other academy) especially when it's combined with the great 7 parents, and once the great seven are in Yuu's head for a while and they start to feel protective of this strange child, and Yuu slowly sharing their horrible experiences all non-chalant because "this is really normal where I come from??"
Like if Yuu was from a northern state with air and water quality issues:
Yuu: Whoa, Look at at all the stars you can see out here! I don't think I've ever been able to see this many before!
Hades: ???... Ummm, Kid, Why are you acting like the stars aren't in the sky literally every night?
Yuu: Oh, Well back in my world there's so much light pollution that some people can go their whole lives without seeing any, in the city I lived in though you could see a couple if the air was good enough.
Ursula: The.. air?
Yuu: Well yeah, sometimes the air was filled with to much exhaust and smog and they would send out warnings to not travel and stuff, it was really boring -__-
And it would be so funny if when they get the sevens powers it's really because they won't seek medical attention
Yuu: *putting duct tape on their gashed cheek* See? Told I could fix it myself!
Jafar: No-
I could go on about this au forever I love it sm, I would love to see more with it, sorry i don't want to ramble ur work is amazing!
Nonono you don't understand this is my shit. I always think about how yuu would be from out world. Like I say this a lot but like imagine telling the octotrio about the pollution of our world.
Imagine telling malleus you have never seen stars before
Imagine telling Idia about the elephants foot??
Can you imagine when Lilia tells you stories of bloody history you fore back with things arguably worse like Unit 731*? Maybe even joking about horrible historical events?
Imagine the stories of fairies and cryptids both fascinating and insulting Sebek
Explaing to ruggie that animals from your woukd cannot talk nor be understood in the same way they can here
Explaining to any royal how most monarchies are down and frowned upon??
And depending on where you from can you imagine having to tell them to boil or check your water?? To watch the air for chemicals? To be cautious of radiation? Hell maybe even running from ambulances cause Yuu cant afford that right now! (It's like 10k in the US to give birth). Or even ask about attacks on schools?? Would probably be so alien to them
*an extremely fucked up experiment with extremely triggering topics, please use caution when researching it

HP FESTS: dhr_advent (part 5)
dhr_advent 2023:
Teach Me How To Fall by sodamnrad - M, one-shot - raco forces offers to teach Hermione how to play Quidditch for the Ministry's holiday game.
Keep It Like a Secret by PacificRimbaud - M, one-shot - He regards her with interest, cool as the ice in his G&T. “What do you want?” On close inspection, he's a bit deadly. It's the combined power of self-regard, an open ear, and a cunningly tailored suit. Hermione wants— “An expiration date would be nice.” She suctions up the watery dregs and signals for more. “Let’s say I want . . . a year. Exactly one year of monogamy without the possibility of further commitment."
In Want of a Wife by ambpersand - E, one-shot - Through a few forced breaths, Hermione manages to settle her nausea well enough to slide out of bed, squinting at the bright morning light. The braid of ribbons follows her left hand as she pulls the curtains closed, a giant knot of silver and gold that won’t shake free. While she works on unwinding them from her hand and arm, she checks the papers, finding the signatures she hoped they would be too drunk to remember to complete. Unfortunately not. There they sit, sloppy and side by side. Her’s a little cramped and rushed, his a little too large and loopy. Her lungs squeeze tight. They actually did it. At some point between the first glass of nettle wine and the last bottle of Dragon Barrel brandy, it must have stopped being a joke. She’s still wearing her dress from the night before, which fits the messy carnage that surrounds her. It’s wrinkled and a bit twisted around her waist, but at least it’s not tossed on the floor with the rest of her marriage licence. The only thing missing is her apparent husband.
sweet dreams of holly and ribbon by LovesBitca8 - E, one-shot - The war against the Dark Lord continues on, but Hermione is stuck at Grimmauld Place with the world's most annoying house guest.
From the Journal of Hermione Granger by Catmint and Thyme (Languish_Locked_in_L) - M, one-shot - Only one bed, rainforest edition. In which Hermione Granger goes on an expedition to Costa Rica in search of a magical (probably mythical) poinsettia with her insufferable colleague, Draco Malfoy, who she can't stop drawing. (It's not creepy, he just has good bone structure.)
Not What It Looks Like by eveningstruggle - M, one-shot - A hot, panicky hurt begins to throb inside her chest. This doesn’t make sense. Is it some type of horribly misguided practical joke? Revenge for shutting him down a few months ago? Or—is it a parting gift? A “so long and thanks for the memories, now I’m off to fuck someone else?” ”What—” Her voice croaks. She clears her throat and tries again. “What the fuck is this, Malfoy?” Confusion creases his forehead. “They’re photos of you.” She’s five seconds from bolting back through the Floo. “I can see that. Why have you given me two dozen terrible photos of myself for Christmas?” Or: Draco gives Hermione a Christmas gift.
Sounds Worth It by RoseHarperMaxwell - T, one-shot - The first time Draco seeks her out at the hospital is a crisp October day, which happens to be the six-month anniversary of her divorce. “Hello,” says Hermione, glancing up from her paperwork. “Draco. Can I…help you?” He’s well put together, dropping gracefully into the chair across from her desk without invitation. “Yes. I’m in need of medical attention.” “I see.” Hermione does not, in fact, see. This is quite unorthodox. There’s a triage procedure and rarely does it result in patients coming to her office. “Tell me more.” Five times Draco fakes an ailment as an excuse to visit Hermione, and one time he doesn't. D/Hr Advent 2023 🎄
Penguins, Pebbles, and Other Reasons to Pursue Unemployment by mightbewriting - T, one-shot - “Is that…shit? On my desk?” Granger doesn’t so much as look up from her mountain of teetering parchments at Draco’s question. Her hair: frazzled. Her frown: ominous. The energy in their shared office: frantic. “Penguin shit,” she says. “Specifically, it’s penguin shit.” [In which a penguin-themed mishap at the Ministry nearly costs Draco his sanity.]
O' Little Town Of Balsam Grove by inadaze22 - M, one-shot - Chaos comes to the town of Balsam Grove and wrecks Draco's plans for the perfect proposal.
Most Sincerely Yours by morriganmercy - T, one-shot - Harry has been certain for months that Malfoy is up to something. When Hermione finds a seemingly out-of-character Christmas card, she can’t help but agree.
Chaperone Chaos, Mistletoe Madness: A Yule Ball Tale by scullymurphy - M, one-shot - Professors Malfoy and Granger hate each other. They're also chaperoning the Yule Ball, where Erotogenic Mistletoe makes a timely appearance.
The Path Carefully Tread by HeyJude19 - T, one-shot - The nature of families could shift; shaped by time, trauma, arguments, and reconciliations. She saw how Draco warred with that now, how he battled his instinctual, youthful desire to please his father with his resolve to sever ties with someone who had hurt him gravely.
A Gentleman's Guide to Courtship and Caregiving by ChaosAndCrumpets - T, one-shot - An accident involving a quidditch bat has Draco Malfoy wishing tragic and irreversible misfortune on Blaise Zabini. But he'll leave St Mungo's with far more than just a healed nose; a newly acquired Godmother, an affinity for mince pies, and an inconvenient attraction to a certain Healer, to name just three.
Seasons of Liberation by Misdemeanor1331 - E, one-shot - Unmoored after the murder of his parents, Draco seeks stability in the Muggle world. The woman he pays to anchor him has an agenda all her own.
This fest is ongoing.
