SickFic Prompts
I’ve been craving SickFic, so have some prompts and feel free to tag me here at @wordmage because I would love to see your takes on the prompts below. Feel free to add more, or use it for RP/art, whatever. I plan to try and fill them all out, myself.
99.9% Immunity – (character) never gets sick, right? Wrong.
Elephant in the Room – (character) is sick, but for some reason – rank, personality, etc – no one is talking about it
Heroes Don’t Take Sick Days – there’s no time to rest when you have to save the world, so (character) has to push themselves even when miserable
Insult to Injury – as if being injured wasn’t enough, (character) is getting sick too
Ill Timed – it’s the worst possible time for (character) to be sick, but their body didn’t get the memo
Irreplaceable – (character) is the leader/boss and isn’t able to take personal time off, even when they’re under the weather
It’s Nothing – (character) insists they’re fine, right up until they collapse
Medic Down – every group seems to have a primary caretaker. How do they handle it when (character) is the one sick?
Milking It – if (character) has to be sick, they’re at least going to get as much pampering out of others as they can
Not a Word – (character) said they don’t get sick, and isn’t in the mood for anyone to remind them while they recover
No Rest for the Wicked – the big bad (character) has more to worry about than the good guys
Open Secret – everyone knows (character) is sick, but they’re trying so hard no one has said anything
Persuasive Partners – (character) is sick, and refusing to stay put; their partner(s) give them a good reason to stay in bed
Stepping Up – boss/leader (character) is clearly miserable, so the others go out of their way to take as much of their workload as possible
Suffer in Silence – for whatever reason, (character) doesn’t want anyone to know they’re sick, and does everything they can to hide it
Take One Down… – (character) gets sick, and spreads it to the rest of the group
Team Mom/Dad – (character) is the one to always take care of others on the team
The Wolf Cries True – (character) has been known to exaggerate or even pretend they’re sick, only this time they’re telling the truth
This is Your Fault – (character A) was clingy while they were sick, and now (character B) has it
Why Didn’t You Say? – (character) hasn’t been feeling well, making for some uncharacteristic behavior, and their partner(s)/team/friends are much more understanding once they realize why
This is somehow one of my most popular posts (nearly 400 notes on it, mostly reblogs) which I am 110% behind and totally approve. So I’m also going to add more things. (Drop these in people’s askbox with characters or something! Mine, too!)
Behind Closed Doors – (character) has a solid public face, but in private they let themselves be taken care of when they’re not well
Bless You – (character) has a particularly sneezy cold, and may or may not be able to retreat from life to deal with it.
Don’t Speak – (character) has a horribly sore throat and is reduced to barely talking while they load up on hot drinks and soup to recover.
I’m Dying – (character) has a headcold and despite that not being anywhere near the worst they’ve ever been, they’re flailing about it to anyone who will listen
Judgement Call – (character) really isn’t feeling well, but has pressing obligations. Others could step up, but no one is as qualified. They choose to…
Painfully Polite – (character) has very strong feelings about how one should behave, and they are even more mindful when they’re not at their best, talking through a sore throat, trying not to cough, attempting to stifle sneezes, etc.
Misery Loves Company – (character) is under the weather and not up for much, but really appreciates having someone there. Even if that someone is sick too.
Stay With Me – (character A) rarely asks for help, but they’re feeling miserable enough to ask (character B) to keep them company a while.
With Kid Gloves On – it’s a known fact that (character) has trouble accepting help, even when they’re sick; the others have learned specific “acceptable” methods over time
You Heard Nothing – (character) is obviously coming down sick – sneezing, sniffling, coughing – and absolutely refusing to admit to it, let alone take things easy.
Prompt #142
“I always knew I would take a bullet for you,” I say as pain ebbs through my chest. She crouches beside me, clutching at my shirt. Sobs echo from her as my lids grow heavy from the weight. “And I always knew you wouldn’t take one for me,” I whisper as I shut my eyes.
It’s simple, really.
I’ve always been gullible, quick to give my heart out and slow to take it back.
And I have bad judgment.
Terrible.
Either that or bad things find me anywhere.
I can’t… I can’t cut them off, even when I know that they’re harmful to me, that simply carrying on with the relationship will destroy me.
My sister always said it’d kill me eventually.
She was right.
–
I thought that I was getting better.
Better at making choices, better at reading people and seeing past the illusions.
From a scale from one to electing-Donald-Trump-as-president, I’d say I was probably closer to the electing-Donald-Trump-as-president’s end of the spectrum when making judgment calls on who to trust.
Being centuries old didn’t mean I had wisdom.
I was just old.
And tired.
I hoped too much, was too gullible.
When I had met her, I’d been wary, perhaps the beginnings of me starting to shape up and learn from my past mistakes.
Beginnings weren’t enough.
–
Two months later, when I finally saw her flaws, it was too late.
While somewhat genuine, the secrets she hid were deadly.
My sister couldn’t pull me out of the mess this time.
“Run,” she had warned me. “Run, while you can. I know you’ll die for her, but will she die for you?”
I never answer her that night.
–
I don’t run.
I stay, knowing that deep in my heart, she doesn’t care for me as much I as care for her.
She pretends as if everything is fine, as if there isn’t shadows creeping into our lives everyday.
It’s only a matter of time.
–
I’ve been lucky, that each time I’ve messed up, I’ve managed to come out of it alive.
My sister has compared me to a cat before, and it’s somewhat fitting because I have survived nine incidents where I should’ve died
But cats only have nine lives.
–
The attacks aren’t a surprise.
I’m prepared, and fight well and there’s a slight glimmer of hope, me being the optimist I am, that we’ll both make it out alive.
I’m prepared, but she’s not.
The barrel of a gun glints from the corner of my eye and I leap before thinking, taking the bullet.
Pain, pain, pain.
It’s not enough to render me useless, but it’s enough to break my easy rhythm, allowing them to regroup.
She screams, the high sound piercing the air, doing little to help.
My sister is on her way but she’s not fast enough.
I struggle desperately and I manage to hold out until my sister arrives.
She dispatches the remaining ones with ease, scoffing lightly when I check her over for injuries.
“I’m fine,” she mutters. “Now, talk to her.”
I’m torn.
I am aware that I won’t be lucky enough to survive another attacks like this.
“Hey,” she greets me nervously. “Are you okay?”
I open my mouth and shut it.
“No,” I admit after a moment of hesitation. “I don’t think-”
Her eyes widen and she steps back, her hands flying to her mouth.
A loud bang.
A scream of horror and anger from my sister.
I fall to the ground, knowing she watched the gun rise and aim at me, knowing she let the bullet hit me.
“I always knew I would take a bullet for you,” I say as pain ebbs through my chest. She crouches beside me, clutching at my shirt. Sobs echo from her as my lids grow heavy from the weight. “And I always knew you wouldn’t take one for me,” I whisper as I shut my eyes.

Some quiet moments for your ships
- Reading together. Gently running their fingers through the other’s hair as they read to them in a soft voice. Silently listening to the other as their voice slowly falls into a natural rhythm and they are immersed in the story they’re bringing to life.
- Walking together. Interwoven fingers and shoulders brushing together as they walk. Not even needing to speak, because a simple look or the slightest change in body language is already a conversation.
- Sleeping together. Hushed breathing and feather-light touches when one wakes before the other. Rolling over and unconsciously curling closer into each other because even when they sleep, they are in love.
- Watching TV together. Volume turned up just enough to be heard without dominating the atmosphere. Absentminded little touches, gentle fingers slowly running over the other’s arm or thigh without realizing it.
- Stargazing together. Infinite space spread out above them, little pinpoints of light shining overhead. Hands resting close together, shared body heat warding off the night’s chill. Silent wishes being made in between soft whispers to each other.

Pre-relationship things for your ships (Based off of real experiences)
- Finding excuses to touch each other in little ways {Example: “whoa your hands look so little let’s compare” / “you had something in your hair” / “my hands are so cold feel them”}
- Singing with each other when their favorite songs come on the radio and laughing awkwardly when their friends say they sound great together.
- One noticing that the other has been having a bad day and giving them a hug to try comforting them.
- Throwing stuff (grass, paper, etc.) at each other and laughing until their friends yell “get a room already!”
- One slowly becoming more comfortable with physical affection – but only if it’s coming from the other. Anyone else will get slapped.
- Sitting a little too close to each other and trying to act casual about it while their friends silently wink at them.
- Person A finding out that Person B has a crush on them when A’s best friend tells them that B has been talking to them about their feelings for A on Facebook/email/whatever.
- One tracking the other down at lunch and making them accept food that they personally made because they know the other person doesn’t have a lunch that day.
- One noticing the other looks sore and offering to work on their shoulders for them.
- Constantly insulting each other as a form of affection. When their friends finally ask why they hate each other so much, they immediately laugh, put their arms around each other’s shoulders, and say that they actually don’t hate each other and that they’re actually “offensive soulmates.”
- Having a playful
flirtyargument about the rules of the board game they’re playing. {Example: ”You rigged the dice. You’re such a cheater.” “Why would I rig the dice? That’s your job.”}- One singing karaoke and purposefully choosing a song that they know is meaningful to the other person.
- Sitting next to each other on a long bus/car ride and one realizing that they’re actually getting very tired, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before they fall asleep on- oops.
- ‘Platonically’ and ‘sarcastically’ saying “wow, rude. Love you too, (Name),” after the other teases/insults them.
