Some Sickly Michaelis AUs - @danascullyrps
Because I have several streams of inspiration right now. Gifs not mine.
- Michaelis is traveling and falls ill, collapsing unconscious by the road. Lucia finds him and nurses him back to health. This can go two ways - one where he ends up too weak to leave because whatever he had has left him quite weakened, and one where he heals and leaves because he’s needed at home, only to see Lucia again at a ball because this is the man she’s…idk, they’re supposed to be or do something that’s for sure.
- WWI or WWII AU where Dom is shipped off and Michaelis stays home because he didn’t meet a requirement for the draft or something (maybe he already has asthma or has a bad leg or something, idk). However, Michaelis’ correspondence to Dom stops mysteriously a few months before Dom returns home. When he does, he finds Michaelis propped up in bed, pale as a ghost, clearly unwell.
Michaelis eventually turns to look at him and, upon seeing him, whispers, “Is it time?” “No.” Dom swallows. “I’m here. I’m home.” Michaelis looks (even more so than before) like he’s about to cry. “You’re real?” Dom nods. “I’m real.”
And Michaelis starts to have trouble breathing because he’s trying really hard not to cry and Dom has to call in the nurse (who he’d already run into on her way out of the room before) and she helps him be able to breathe again. I don’t know what Michaelis has, but it would be super sad if it was tuberculosis because then no cure.
- Hospital AU where Lucia is a doctor and Michaelis ends up as one of her patients. This could also work with Dom as the doctor instead.
I just…had inspo because I was scrolling through your blog and so naturally saw some super old stuff and yeah. Doctors and then your list of AUs for the babes. Even if we aren’t doing most of those anymore (or at least right now) I feel like they still deserve attention because I like them.
Also these gifs definitely don’t completely match but oh well.
