28, she/her, Bi. Not a kink blog, but kink friendly. Hey, guys, thanks for stumbling upon my (sickfic) blog! I mostly write for my OCs and Marvel (Stucky). Feel free to send me asks and prompts! (Though full disclosure I might not get to them in a timely manner bc im garbage)
Somehow I am close to finishing already omg Monday is the start of my last chunk of classes before I go off on my externship and thatâs wild to me. Where did the time go?
I turned in my last homework assignment of my program a couple of minutes ago and will be done with my last class of my program in about two and a half hours. I take my certification exam tomorrow morning and then start my externship in a week and I will officially be able to start working which is crazy to me. It feels like I just started last week but somehow itâs been ten months???
So just like to round out this saga, I am halfway through my externship and have signed the offer letter to work at my site once I graduate đđŒđđŒđđŒđđŒ
I have lived in this new state for about a year and I still have yet to get used to the fact that people insist on bringing their (NON SERVICE) dogs everywhere

Hiiii Iâm sorry youâre sick and I hope you feel better soon. Have this fic request for healing purposes lmao
Okay so what about something with Marianne where sheâs really sick but doesnât realize just how bad it is for whatever reason (maybe sheâs busy at work and feels like she has to be less sick than she is or maybe one of her besties has something coming up she wants to be there for), and it turns out she has the flu or some sort of awful chest infection (bronchitis or pneumonia maybe?????)
Anyways, she thinks sheâs doing so well just medicating herself and going to bed early every nightâŠ.until she fully passes out (possibly at home or work or wherever your heart desires) and itâs all VERY dramatic and her friends are all v fussy and take care of her.
AYY BET YOU THOUGHT YOU'D SEEN THE LAST OF THEM!!
thank you so much for this prompt! I enjoyed writing it!! <3
âSTOP DOING LAUNDRYâ
Marianne rolls her eyes and sets her phone down, only to pick it up a moment later when it buzzes again.Â
âGO TO BEDâ
She hates that her neighbors can hear every time she turns on the washing machine because it means that Dean and Jean are very aware of the fact that sheâs washing her clothes for work tomorrow at nearly 11:30, which means that she wonât get to bed until at least midnight after she changes them over to the dryer. She needs the sleep, too. Sheâs been fighting a cold for the past few days, and itâs only been getting worse as it moves to her chest. What had been a scratchy throat now burns when she drinks anything but water from coughing so much, and the fatigue is back.Â
âBossy,â she texts Dean back. Lottie has been gone for the past week working on a disability panel at a conference, her very first, and theyâve decided to surprise her with a little party at their place when she returns tomorrow. And on the first day she left, Marianne found herself feeling exhausted enough that she slept through the whole weekend. When sheâd finally moved past the fatigue, sheâd found her throat and body sore and her head pounding with a headache that only a lot of ibuprofen could kill. Sheâd let the dishes pile up and the cat hair multiply on the floor.Â
âU know im rightâÂ
Thatâs the problem. She does know that, logically. Sheâs going to need all her strength to get through a busy day at work tomorrow. Theyâve got a media fill count, which means that the manufacturing machines have filled tens of thousands of vials with growth media and they need to count them all to make sure itâs making the right number and also ensure each vial is sterile with a visual check. Normally, sheâs the only one who doesnât actually mind these days. Lots of math, lots of listening to a podcast and tuning everyone else out. However it also means a lot of lifting and carrying heavy things around the lab, which sheâs not really feeling up for. Still, sheâs the team lead, and if she calls out on the most miserable day theyâve got, itâs going to look a lot like draft dodging.Â
As soon as she sits down on the couch, she makes the mistake of resting her head against the arm and letting her eyes shut, which is a mistake. She hadnât intended to fall asleep, so she failed to set an alarm for work, and when she wakes, itâs 7 minutes after sheâs supposed to clock in.Â
âShit,â she curses, then coughs when her voice breaks, pushing their cat Theodosia from her lap. She sounds just awful, but sheâs pretty sure her coworkers would rather have her suffering there wearing a mask than skipping the terrible awful dreadful day entirely. Itâd be impossible to finish in one day if theyâre down a person, especially a powerhouse like Marianne. She dials her bossâ number and waits for her to pick up.Â
âHey,â she answers, âthe team was starting to worry. Are you okay?âÂ
Tears well up in her eyes when sheâs shown concern and care rather than ire and irritation. She should be in trouble and instead theyâre worried? That wonât do.Â
âIâm so sorry,â she says. âI overslept. I just woke up.âÂ
âOh, are you calling out? You sound awful.âÂ
âNo, no. Iâm fine. Iâll take some cold meds and be there soon.âÂ
âYou sure? You can take a day off, you know.âÂ
âNot today,â she says. âMedia fill.âÂ
âTrue,â her boss says. âWell, I appreciate you coming in. Youâre right that it would be a mess without everyone here. Iâll see you in a bit. Eat some breakfast. Donât rush.âÂ
Her boss can be unpredictableâon a different day, in a different mood, sheâd have been furious. At least sheâs got something going for her, even if this is going to be an attendance strike. All she needs to do now is hurry to get ready.Â
Then make it through an entire day like this.Â
Oh, god.Â
She packs cold medicine but no lunch and heads off to work as fast as she can.Â
By the time she has her lunch break, sheâs glad she didnât waste her time and energy packing anything, because she couldnât bear to think about eating. Instead, she goes to lie down in her car, brushing off her coworkersâ concerns and promising to be back after a quick 30 minute nap. She makes good on her promise, but by the time theyâre almost finished, she canât see straight enough to count any more vials. Itâs humiliating, but she knows when sheâs beat.Â
âHey, Boss?â she calls to her manager, knocking a few times on the door. She winces at the sound of her own voice, thick and raspy. Itâs been a few hours since sheâs spoken and her voice has not benefited from it.Â
âMarianne,â she greets, âhi. What can I do for you?âÂ
She takes a deep breath that ends in a cough. âI was wondering if I could head out an hour early.âÂ
âSo, now?âÂ
âIf thatâs okay.â God, she canât even look her in the eyes, this is so embarrassing. Her boss must think sheâs doing this under duress. Sheâs probably looking for a little red dot over her heart where the sniper is pointing.Â
âYouâve tried taking something for it?â
âIâve been on flu meds for a few days, but itâs just not helping anymore. Iâm feeling lightheaded.â She nods.Â
âOkay. Youâre free to go. Feel better,â she says, the painlessness of it all making it infinitely more embarrassing. âWait.âÂ
She stops, now terrified that sheâs overstepped. âYes?â
âDo you need a ride? Maybe you shouldnât drive if youâre dizzy.âÂ
âNo, no. I can drive myself.â
âIf youâre sure.âÂ
Her bossâ concern is flattering in a way, but thatâs overshadowed by how mortifying it is. âThank you,â she says as she hurries to gather up her things and make it to her car without anyone seeing.Â
At home, she finds that she has very little time to sleep. Lottie is going to be home in three hours and the party will start. Thereâs still so much to do.Â
First, she takes her laundry from the dryer so that if Lottie wants to use it tomorrow morning, she doesnât have to wait. Then, she gets to work vacuuming the carpet, which is where she hits a snag. The exertion has her coughing so badly that she has to stop and start a few times to hack up globs of stuff into the sink, and the sound of the vacuum halting and resuming is enough to garner confusion from her neighbors.Â
âYou good? Youâre⊠vacuuming weird.âÂ
She almost laughs at the message from Jean despite knowing that itâs not intended to be funny--Jean rarely cracks jokes. Rarely laughs at them, either. Itâs amazing sheâs managed to live with a stand up comedian for so long without conflict.Â
âCatching my breath,â she admits in her own text, which is worrying enough that a few minutes later, theyâre both at her door. She sighs when she has to answer it, but itâs only about half an hour before sheâd been expecting them, anyway, since they cooked food for this so she didnât have to, but itâs still sooner than sheâs ready for.Â
âHey,â Jean greets. âHow are you feeling?âÂ
âNot great,â she admits, and Dean frowns.Â
âYou sound awful. You should have called us earlier. We could have helped you clean.âÂ
âI know, but I justââ she trails off to cough into her elbow, â--just thought I could finish it up really quickly.âÂ
âHowâs that working out?âÂ
âUh,â she stammers. âMostly good. The kitchen could use a wipe-down. My work shit is still on the dining room table.âÂ
âLeave that to us,â Jean chirps. âGo sit down.âÂ
She doesnât exactly obey, but she doesnât continue to tax herself, either. Instead, she heads to her room to change her clothes and put on makeup. Halfway through changing, she realizes that the fact that sheâs chosen to wear a long sleeve shirt and a sweater despite that sheâs sweating might be an indication that she should send everyone home, have a nap, and invite them next week when sheâs feeling better. However, this is Lottieâs first panel, and sheâd been so excited about it. Marianne has been putting this together all week. If she send them home, Dean will have cooked all this food for nothing, all of it so thoughtful toward Lottieâs gastroparesis and anyone elseâs dietary concerns. She always goes all outâit had taken both of them just to get her spread through the door, and sheâs pretty sure theyâre making another trip. If it were another day. Sheâd be looking forward to her famous apple crumble, which might be Marianneâs favorite food, but the thought of eating makes her stomach flip.Â
Amaya arrives 15 minutes later, bearing a gift, a little octopus she crocheted while she was out of town. Itâs so cute and so typically thoughtful of her.Â
She can do this. Itâll just be another half hour before Lottie is home, and then the work will be over and her happy, smiling face will take her mind off her throbbing head and painful throat and spinning everything.Â
Because Marianne is slow to help and Dean is being characteristically particular about things, theyâve only just finished setting up when the lock turns and Lottie opens the door, her luggage in her lap.Â
âSurprise!â they shout in unison, and she gasps.Â
âYou guys!â she laughs when the shock has worn off. Amaya and Jean are taking her luggage and setting it aside while Lottie takes in the scene. Mariannne has decorated only minimallyâin fact, she didnât even finish everything sheâs had on her list. Sheâd wanted balloons and streamers, but settled on a âcongratulationsâ banner alone. It might be sparse, but she knows Lottie doesnât mind. She just wishes it would have been perfect.Â
âHow was the conference?â Dean asks. Lottieâs face lights up.Â
âAmazing! It was exhausting, but totally worth it. I got to go to all kinds of panels by people whose disabilities are so different from mine; it gave me a ton of new perspectives.â
As she continues talking, Marianne finds that although sheâs been waiting all week to hear about this, sheâs having a hard time staying awake. Sheâs been having that issue, lately, of falling asleep any time she sits, but sheâd have expected that it would be better now that sheâs so interested. Dozing during a television program or while scouring an SOP at work is one thing, but her advocacy convention? It makes her feel terrible, more than she already is. She pulls her cardigan around her to try to stop shivering and allows her eyes to shut for just one moment.Â
âAw, someoneâs tired,â Lottie coos. Sheâs not sure whether sheâs actually fallen asleep or just stopped paying attention, but apparently a good amount of time has passed because the cold chill has been replaced with stifling heat. When she focuses her attention, Lottie is smiling. âYou shouldnât have gone through so much trouble just for me. You must be so tired.â She regrets having shared with Lottie how stressful work has been the past few days. She knew it was only going to make her feel bad when she found out about the partyâsheâd just really needed her best friend.Â
âSorry, Iâm justâI havenât been feeling so well the past few days.â Now, her smile drops.Â
âWoah, your voice sounds awful. Are you okay?âÂ
âYeah, Iâm sorry. Iâm good. Just a little tired.âÂ
Lottie nods. âMaybe you should go lie down. You look exhausted.âÂ
âNo, mâfine. I gotâwho wants cake?âÂ
She stands and wavers, everything spinning around her. Her vision goes black, but thatâs been happening the past few days. She knows she hasnât been drinking enough water.Â
âMarianne,â Dean says in a rare mirthless tone. âI think Lottieâs right. I can get the cake.âÂ
âNo, Iâmâlet me.âÂ
Through she expects her vision to clear in a few seconds like it has been doing, it doesnât, and the lightheadedness only intensifies. She feels hands, though sheâs not sure whose, on her shoulders.Â
âMarianne?â Dean calls. âAre youâoh!âÂ
And thatâs the last thing she hears before sheâs out cold.Â
She wakes up on the kitchen floor, her head clearer, if aching. Someone is holding a cool towel to her foreheadâJean, she realizes when she opens her eyes.Â
âSheâs awake,â Jean says, sounding as terrified as the others look. âHey there.âÂ
âNgh,â she groans, âIâm so sorry.â
âAre you aware youâre running a fever?â Lottie asks, and yes, sheâs pissed. Rightfully so. Marianne would be, too, if the roles were reversed.Â
âSorry. I thought I might.âÂ
âWhat were you thinking? You know we could have postponed this. Some dumb party is not worth this.âÂ
âLottie,â Amaya says gently. âGo easy.âÂ
But sheâs already tearing up. âI know. Iâm sorry.â
Lottie sighs. âLook, I see why you did it. I know that stuff like this is just how you show love, but I wish youâd taken care of yourself first.â
âI know. Again, Iâmââ
âSorry, right.âÂ
âAre you mad?âÂ
âIâll get over it.â Well, thatâll have to do.Â
âWeâll have the party another day, when youâre feeling better, babe,â Dean reassures. âFor now, letâs get you to bed.âÂ
âYeah. That sounds good.â She allows herself to be helped to her feet by her friends, who are patient when everything spins and she has to sit for another moment before she can move to her room. They donât even say anything about the mess.Â
âDo you need anything?â Jean asks. She shakes her head when Amaya beats her to the punch offering a cup of water and three ibuprofen. âOkay, then. We can let you sleep.âÂ
They file out with well-wishes and goodnights until itâs just her and Lottie in the room.Â
âThis was really stupid, you know.â She nods. âBut thanks.âÂ
âYou deserved a nice party. Iâm so proud of you.âÂ
âThanks,â she says, finally smiling. âYou know, youâre the person I was most looking forward to telling all my stories. Sucks you were, like, asleep through most of them.â
âYouâll just have to tell me again later.â
âDeal.â She turns. âWeâll be in the living room for a white, I think, if you need anything. Shout if weâre getting loud.âÂ
âOkay. Thanks.âÂ
âGoodnight, you dummy.âÂ
âYeah. Goodnight. Iâm glad youâre home.âÂ
âMe, too.â Lottie shuts the door behind her, leaving her to sleep.Â
Somehow I am close to finishing already omg Monday is the start of my last chunk of classes before I go off on my externship and thatâs wild to me. Where did the time go?
someone whose first sign of being sick is being exhausted. they take naps & wake up with a stuffy nose & realize oh theyâre definitely getting sick. bonus points if their partner knows that about them too
Bonus points if the sick character (A) shuffles out of their bedroom to find their partner (B) and asks if B can check if they have a fever bc they feel kind of feverish
reblog this with the person who annoyed you the most in your whole life and what they did in the tags. i'll start: i once dated a guy who told me he was insecure because he'd never met a girl who's funnier than him. i would whisper a joke to him and he'd say it to the whole room as if he thought of it himself. i got stuck on a play i was writing and asked him to brainstorm with me, then he wrote a screenplay with an identical premise without crediting me. go to hell, kevin
I once went on a date with a guy who told my my opinions were invalid because I liked frozen 2 (he didnât) and tomatoes (he also didnât). He also said he wanted four kids to start with and then wanted to adopt the rest of them, specifically from women who were going to have an ab*rtion
My new goal in life is to be rich enough so I can buy all of the fireworks in my surrounding area, minus the fireworks needed for city displays. This way, people cannot set them off for WEEKS
Well friends, Iâm back in my home state for my brotherâs graduation. Thought things with my mom would be better because sheâs been behaving herself lately but I think sheâs having a hard time emotionally with my brother graduating and moving away for school in the fall, so now I feel like Iâm walking on egg shells and I am STRESSED
What about âover an hour lateâ for your neighbor OCs??? Your pick for who omg
this prompt has been in my inbox for a minute but here we go!! I hope you enjoy it!!
Though she feels guilty about it, Jean glares at her phone wondering where her roommate might be at this late hour of the night. Dean is an adult. Sheâs allowed to go wherever she wants and stay out as late as she wants, and she doesnât owe her an explanation for any of it.Â
But Dean is never out this late after a show, and certainly never without calling to tell her to go to bed without her. In fact, sheâd told Jean to wait up for her because she wouldnât be out past midnight. When she does these late sets in shitty dive bars in questionable parts of the city, she likes for someone to know that sheâs made it home. Thatâs the deal they have. They keep tabs on each other. Itâs not about controlling, she reminds herself, itâs about safety. Not to mention itâs 1:00 in the morning and sheâs exhausted and has an interview for the podcast first thing tomorrow morning.Â
Suddenly. Her screen lights up. Anger wells up inside her once again when she sees itâs a text from Dean.Â
Can u come pick me up?
She rolls her eyes. Dean knows that sheâs working in the morning and that she hates driving in the dark, especially in the parts of town where Dean is performing right now. Though rare, sometimes Dean will have drinks with some of the other comedians after a show. Normally she knows sheâs going to do this ahead of time and lets her know. Now sheâs just expecting her to come get her because she drank too much?
Why canât you just Uber if youâre too drunk to drive?
So immediately that Jean isnât sure she even read the message, the phone vibrates again.Â
Please?
She sighs. She can say no. No is an acceptable answer in any and all situations. However, this is her roommate and more importantly her friend. If she doesnât feel safe Ubering home, sheâs not just going to leave her there.Â
Twenty minutes. And you owe me.Â
With that, she grabs her keys and heads out the door without even bothering to change her outfit or put on a bra. If thereâs one thing she knows for a fact, itâs that sheâs not getting out of the car.Â
When she pulls up to the venue after three wrong turns and a brief stint going the wrong way on a one way street, sheâs even more pissed at Dean. Itâs one thing to make her wait, but to drag her out here at this hour? She doesnât even want to know how shit-faced Dean must be. That suspicion is confirmed when she watches Dean walk out of the building guided by a young man. Heâs steadying her when she wavers and is poised to catch her if she falls. She unlocks the passenger seat door and waits for them to slowly make their way to the car.Â
âHey,â Dean greets groggily. She sounds more exhausted than drunk, but Jean is too angry to even notice. âThanks for coming to get me.âÂ
âNot like I had a choice,â she says as the young man helps her into the seat.Â
âIâm so sorry.âÂ
Before Jean can even open her mouth, the young man reaches out and squeezes her hand. âIt happens, okay? Itâs not your fault.â Itâs not her fault? What, did they wrap the shots in peanut butter and toss them down her throat like a pill in a dog treat? âTake care of her, okay? Make sure she gets some rest, drinks water.âÂ
âThanks, Luke,â Dean says. The fact that theyâre treating this so casually is making her even angrier. Dean needs to take some responsibility for her actions tonight.Â
âYou know I have an interview early tomorrow morning,â she says. Dean stares down at her knees as Jean unparks the car, looking a little lost. âI have to be up like two hours beforehand to prepare.âÂ
âI know,â she says miserably. âIâm so sorry.âÂ
âYouâre not 20 anymore, D. We have responsibilities. And bedtimes. You canât just drink until you black out and not expectââ
âIâm not drunk,â she interjects. Jean scoffs.Â
âI know you and your comedian buddies take shots after all every set.âÂ
âI didnât perform my set,â she argues. âAt least, not all of it.â That throws her off. Sometimes venues will pull shady shit to avoid paying her, but sheâs never heard of one straight up canceling her slot.Â
âWhat? Why?âÂ
âI, uh, wasnât feeling so well.âÂ
âWait, what are you talking about? You didnât drink and you didnât perform?âÂ
âI was feeling a little nervous because thereâs a big name here. Harvey Kirkâheâs a headliner. I guess I anxiety got the better of me.âÂ
âYou backed out?âÂ
âNo, I sort of⊠fell onstage.â Â
âOh, Dean, Iââ
âAnd maybe fainted a little.â Jean nearly stops the car. âIâm fine! The guys were just worried about me and told me I should sit this one out. I really wanted to just perform and go home, but once I passed out, they didnât want me driving.âÂ
Jean is floored. Firstly, she feels concern, brut the second and possibly louder emotion is guilt. Sheâs spent the past two hours pissed at her best friend over something she couldnât control at all.Â
âWhy didnât you call sooner?âÂ
âI wanted to support my friend Jessica for her first time performing. I probably should have told you, but I knew youâd come get me immediately, and I wanted to stay for her.âÂ
She canât argue with that. If sheâd heard that, sheâd have gotten in the car right then and made Dean come home to rest. While she doesnât love the fact that this has been sprung on her, she doesnât feel nearly as angry now as she had a minute ago.Â
âLetâs just get you home. You need to lie down and drink something.âÂ
Dean nods. âIâm sorry I dragged you out here tonight. I know you hate driving in the city. And in the dark. And at all.âÂ
âI donât care about that right now.â Itâs true, too. All she wants to do is get Dean home and into bed. For the rest of the car ride, Dean plays the newest episode of the true crime podcast with which theyâre both obsessed. Itâs not a great idea, given that itâs the middle of the night and theyâre about to walk across their apartment complexâs parking lot, but it passes the time.Â
âDonât get out until I come around the side to help you,â Jean commands as she pulls into the only available spot on the lot, which is further away than sheâd like.Â
âI donât needââ
âJust humor me?âÂ
Dean sighs, but nods. Itâs obvious that sheâs unhappy, but she does allow Jean to walk with her to their door. She seems steady enough, but given that sheâs still shaking, Jean isnât willing to let her out of her sight. She sits her down on the couch and tells her not to move while she gathers as few things: water, a cup of apple juice, a packet of fruit gummies, a bowl of chips. Deanâs eyes go wide when she sees the collection.Â
âAm I supposed to eat and drink all of that?âÂ
âIâd hoped you would, yeah. Itâs not that much.âÂ
âAre you a bear? Or perhaps a possum? Because thatâs a lot of fucking snacks to put in my body right before I go to sleep.âÂ
âItâll help you feel better.â
âI feel fine.âÂ
âThen why are you shaking?âÂ
Dean canât answer that, so she accepts the juice and the chips and doesnât complain as Jean puts the rest of it on the coffee table in front of her. She allows Jean to drape a blanket over her shoulders, then drapes her legs over her lap when Jean gestures for her to do so.Â
âWhat about your interview tomorrow?â
Jean shrugs. âI can just take a nap afterwards. The episode doesnât come out for another week. I can make it work.âÂ
Jean can tell that sheâs eating and drinking intentionally perfornatively, likely because she feels guilty. Itâs not that she doesnât understand where sheâs coming from, but she wishes she wouldnât. Sure, she might be a little tired for the interview, but thatâs temporary. The real concern is ensuring that Dean is alright.Â
âFeeling any better?âÂ
âI feel like I ate rocks, but yeah, Iâm fine now. I think Iâm just gonna go to bed.âÂ
âSure. Want me to walk you?â
âNot necessary, but youâre a good Cub Scout for helping this old lady cross the street.â Despite the anxiety it causes her, she allows Dean to stand and walk to her room alone. Sheâs happy to see that she seems much steadier now, a lot less dizzy.Â
âGoodnight, Dean,â she calls. Dean flashes a winning, gap-toothed smile.Â
âYeah. And thanks for everything. I owe you one.â When Deanâs door closes behind her, she waits until she hears her snoring through the door to ensure that she doesnât miss a loud crash that might indicate that she fell, then stands and heads to her own room. Sheâs exhausted and more than ready to fall into the covers, even if itâll only be for a few hours.Â
Just a reminder that it is NO ONEâS responsibility to curate YOUR internet experience but you. If donât like what someone is posting, itâs your responsibility to block them and move on. I have been on the internet for a long time and it has never been anyoneâs responsibility to not post things because I donât like them. Telling someone you hope they die because youâre mad theyâre posting something YOU donât like is absolutely vile. You should be ashamed of yourself. If youâre going to tell someone you hope they die, have the balls to come off anon. Donât hide behind anonymity. You deserve to be publicly shamed if youâre going to tell someone something that horrible. And if you do think itâs appropriate to tell someone you hope they die, get off my page and block me. You are NOT welcome here.
Iâve had a bunch of issues with my toe lately, and before I saw a podiatrist I was going back and forth to this urgent/primary care clinic to get it taken care of (I had to have a few minor procedures and was on FOUR rounds of antibiotics). Today I went back for an unrelated issue and I saw the same PA as before because you can only make online appointments with a provider youâve seen before and I was on hold forever when I called. He asked me if I was the âtoe ladyâ when he came into the exam room and folks I donât think I will ever recover from that. Absolutely devastating
This is not related to anything, but slime was BIG when I was in middle school, but I never made any, even though I wanted to. Long story short, I ordered slime containers off of Amazon, and I'm going to heal my inner child and make SO MUCH SLIME lmao
