About Sick Fic
A character comes down with something — flu, fever, a cold they insist is nothing — and someone else takes care of them. The illness is usually minor; the caretaking is the entire point, complete with soup, blanket forts, and walls lowered by a temperature of 102.
Sickness grants characters permission to be needy and caretakers permission to hover, letting buried tenderness surface under the alibi of a fever.
Common scenarios: A stubborn captain collapsing at practice and waking up to find their rival made congee, or a flu passing through a shared apartment one roommate at a time.
