When the monkey Kings catch a cold, who toughs it out by saying, "Its no bid deal," despite having a high fever, stuffy nose and nasty cough and who are the ones who go full man-cold mode? All the melo-drama, bemoaning how weak they feel and milking as much of their s/o's bedside manner as they can.
Awwww poor Sick little Monkie🤒🤒🤒🤧🤧🤧
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Lmk Wukong) HIS DRAMATIC ASS WOULD DEFINITELY MILK THIS FOR ALL IT'S WORTH! he would lay in bed surrounded by tissues whining to you his darling wife about his poor condition. He'll be like wifey is that you??? And acting like he's dying like those soap operas with some rich relatives of the main protagonists. Fortunately he has you to take care of him, unfortunately for you, prepare for him to be even more clingy then usual if that's even possible.
Tumblr media
(MKR Wukong) Of course he would toughen it up dispite his condition, he feels he can't afford to rest considering he has his master and most importantly you to take care of. That is until he passed out due to his deathly high fever, thankfully you told master tripikata in advance about Wukong's cold and there for stayed with one of the villages doctors. Wukong hates how he feels both sick and embarrassed, but at least he has you to bring him soup and medicine.
Tumblr media
(NR Wukong) Ok......this for him he can go either way actually, I mean if he were to be sick I imagine he took care of himself alot. Though now that he has a beautiful wife, Aka you he can lay around all he wants. He would use his cold to stick and cling to you without repercussions, and you would come with his favorite food and medicine to help him. This is the only good thing out of him being sick...getting even more time with you.
Tumblr media
(HIB Wukong) Oh yeah, he forces himself to tough it out absolutely he can't rest for one moment. After all, he has 2 kids to raise. One that doesn't exactly know what strange danger is, and the other who knows exactly what stranger danger is but doesn't give a sh*t. Then there is you, his darling wife he has his responsibilities of being a good husband to you, and finally trying to keep pigsy from doing something stupid. You would have forced him to rest before he officially burns himself out.
Tumblr media
(Netflix Wukong) Ok wow i never thought i would say this, but he's both at the same time. At first, he must have been forced to have tough it out because he needed to take care of himself. Though now that he trapped you in the marriage, he can be the second most dramatic ass all he wants now that he has you to take care of him. He would give you sad puppy dog eyes, making himself look pitiful to you, as he coughs looking weak. It helps that he's always uses his baby face to get extra cuddles.
Tumblr media
(BMW Wukong) The 3rd most dramatic ass of the list, but he also takes advantage of it. He would lay there and complain about his condition and how crappy he feels, and if only he had an cute monkey wife to nurse him back to health, but he's lucky to have you take care of him. Though over time He would slowly get on your nerves at times, however it's also a bit funny considering he always acted big and bad. Now the cold he has seems to put him in a near early nonexistent grave and he would quietly pout about it.
Tumblr media
(Destined one) Oh your silent Husband would definitely try to tough it out, especially since he didn't want to burden you. Though you would smile and bring him to the nearest doctor, to finally get some care. You would give him cuddles after wrapping him up in thick blankets, and feed him soup and giving him his medicine. The Destined one would blush and smile as you take care of him so well.
Tumblr media
(Lotmk Wukong) Ohhhhh poor baby, he'll try to tough it out to look strong for you, but he's cold is clearly making him miserable. You wasted no time making sure your sweet Little monkey had all the love and care in the world. Warm soup, cold medicine, fluffy blankets and anything else he would ask for. Of course he would feel so bad about it because he's making you work so hard, however with enough affection he'll see that it was no problem for you at all.

Sick Days
Sylus x MC!Reader
Sylus couldn't get in contact with you and he knew that being a hunter was a dangerous job but what you had wasn't an injury to your body per say. It was an injury to your immune system. AKA Sylus taking care of you when you're very very sick
OB: Hi I started writing this while i had covid back in august and I'm working on clearing out all of my old fic drafts so bear with me on any other updates
masterlist
A groan escapes your lips as you forcefully peel your eyes open. Your throat hurts, your head hurts, your body hurts, everything hurts. It took you a bit to register that the banging wasn’t in your head, but it was at your front door. Every cell in your body screaming at you to stay in your bed, but the knocking just wouldn’t stop.
As you sit up out of bed, your head immediately spins from the sudden motion.
“Fuck,” you attempt to steady yourself before fully getting out of bed, but it was hard. You tried to take a deep breath but that just caused you to have a coughing fit. The burn in your throat and chest is almost unbearable. The toll of whatever sickness you had had a harsher effect on your body than you thought. Initially, you assumed you could have just slept off whatever it was but now you were so sure.
Slowly, you struggle your way to the front door, blanket securely wrapped around you since you were freezing. Eventually, you get your door open as you glare at a well-dressed chest, your eyes racking up to see the owner of said chest. It was, of course, Sylus.
“Well, hello there, kitten. Nice to finally see you.” He smirks down at you for just a moment before noticing the state you were in, gently pushing you back to enter your space, closing the door behind him.
“What are you doing here Sylus?” You ask, your voice is scratchy and hoarse.  Sylus brow creases as he gives you a once over.
“Mephesto claims you haven’t left your house in two days, and you haven’t been answering my messages or phone calls.” He says as he raises a hand to your forehead to gauge your temperature. You swat his hand away as you realize what he was saying. Two days? You haven’t left for two days??? You were just at work yesterday when you got sent home, right? Holding your hand out, you request him to hand you his phone which he does with no complaint. Ignoring the picture of the two of you as his lock screen and notice that in fact it had been two entire days since you had been home. You shove his phone back into his hand and shuffle back to your room to look for your phone. There it sat on your nightstand, still on the charger, opening it up to see several messages and missed calls from Sylus of course but some from Luke and Kieran, a few from Jenna and Tara telling you to get well soon, along with a few from Rafayel, Xavier, and Zayne.
“I-“ you stutter as you sit down on your bed, “ I guess I’ve been in and out of sleep this whole time.” You say with a frown, attempting to rub the pain out of your head. As you go through the numerous texts, a coughing fit erupts making Sylus run over to rub your back. He tries to soothe you as your fit dies, rubbing your back gently as you calm down, taking the blanket from around you, pushing you to lay down and tucking you in. You hadn’t even realized that you were truly TUCKED in until Sylus is running a hand over your cheek and you can’t move.
“Let me out Sylus” You struggle from how tightly he tucked you in, but you didn’t have any real strength in you to get out.
“No can do, kitten. You’re sick and I’ll just have to take care of you.” He puts his hand on your forehead to truly check your temperature. You were burning up and it took everything in Sylus to keep a neutral face, he was worried about you. He had originally thought, you had just buried yourself in work again but seeing you in this state does something to his heart that he doesn’t like. You were such a strong woman and now where you were, weak and frail and not from any wanderer just from what was probably the common cold.  
“I’ll be fine, I can take care of myself.” You refute, struggling yet again but not putting up much of a fight. Theres a slight twitch in Sylus expression as he watches you.
“Please” Sylus voice comes out just above a whisper and you stop moving. It caught you off guard and you stopped fighting. “Thank you, so stubborn” he kisses the top of your head as you scoff.
You hadn’t even realized that you were falling asleep until you were being woken up by Sylus gently.
“What’s going on” you look around confused as you attempt to sit up, Sylus grabs your arm helping you as a rag falls off the top of your head.
“You have to eat something Kitten.” Sylus states as he grabs a bowl of some type of soup putting the spoon up to your mouth. You take a sip of it without complaint, it soothes but hurts your throat at the same time causing a groan to come out of your mouth. Sylus inhales a deep breath, gripping the spoon harder. You weren’t getting better, if anything it seemed like you were getting worse. Your skin was getting pale, your temperature wasn’t going down, and all you were doing was sleeping and while you were sleeping you were shaking. You were in cold sweat; he had to change the rag on your head almost every thirty minutes.
“It hurts, Sy” You grimace after you try to swallow another spoon full of soap. Your voice was so weak, you looked so frail, it was literally breaking his heart to see you like this.
Sylus puts down the bowl, “Just lay down sweetie.” He helps you get back under the covers and before he can even get back with another towel for your head, you’re asleep.
Now Sylus was a prideful man for sure, but for you, for you he would do anything, for you he would put aside his pride. He knew he couldn’t just call any sort of doctor because of the aether core in your heart, so he knew he had to call your doctor, Doctor Zayne. But oh, did he hate Dr.Zayne, YOUR Dr.Zayne. Sylus just knew that man was in love with you, your childhood friend who spent his life becoming a heart surgeon and then being your personal doctor. Tsk, he’s heard of the whole childhood friends to lover’s trope, he wasn’t a dumb man. He wasn’t dumb, but he was desperate, and he needed you to get better. It had already been a full day since he had been in your place, and you just kept getting worse. Begrudgingly he picked up your phone and did what he had to do.  
You don’t remember much in your sick haze. It was hard to even distinguish what was really going on or what was part of your fever dreams. You lucidly remember Sylus waking you up to give you soup and take medicine. You think you remember Zayne coming in which would make sense, he is your doctor, but you also remember Xavier? Maybe you weren’t particularly sure, it wouldn’t really make sense for him to be there, but you were sure you remembered seeing him.
Eventually, you gain a full sense of consciousness. Surprisingly, your body doesn’t ache like it has been and there isn’t an immense pressure in your head. You attempt to sit up when you notice a hand holding onto your arm, and attached to the hand was Sylus. A soft smile spreads on your face as you see him sitting most likely uncomfortably in a chair next to your bed. His head was laid beside you and his hand grasping onto your arm. You had no clue had long he had been there or how long he had been taking care of you. The pill bottles, half eaten soup and cups of water you don’t remember drinking or taking had to have come from somewhere and it wasn’t you.
“Ah, I see the kitten has finally stirred from her hibernation.” Sylus exhausted face meets your curious eyes.
“Yeah, I’m feeling much better.”  You say with a yawn and a stretch. The gaze he is giving you makes you feel small, causing you to turn away from him, “thank you”
His hand reaches out to grab your chin gently, “You had me worried, sweetie. You had a respiratory infection and pneumonia. What would have happened to you if I wouldn’t have come?” His jaw is set tight and you don’t think you would ever see the feared Onychinus leader looking scared. He was scared, scared he was going to lose you…...again.
“…… I’m sorry but you took care of me and I’m fine now. Yeah?” You say turning your head out of his hands in more embarrassment as you busy yourself with straightening out your night stand. As you pick up the bottle of pills, you notice you see that Zayne prescribed these. You glance between the bottle and then at Sylus.
He scoffs before taking the bottle from your hand, putting it back down “Well of course I had to reach out to your doctor. Your fever wouldn’t go down.”
“But you hate Zayne?”  You questioned as you tilt your head in a way that was way too cute for Sylus.
“I do not hate the doctor. I just don’t like how friendly he is with you on the occasion.” He scoffs at the giggle you let out, “And I’m aware that you are childhood friends, but the man should have some boundaries”
That makes you laugh even harder, not THE Sylus Quin talking about boundaries. He wouldn’t know a boundary if it shot him in the heart. It was sweet, he was being so sweet.
“Yeah, I thought seeing him was just a fever dream I was having actually. Funny enough, I thought I also saw my friend Xavier here.”
The noise that leaves Sylus had you holding back the biggest laugh that you could possibly muster. So in fact you had not imagine Xavier, he had actually been there and surprisingly Sylus let him in.
“Another one of your ‘friends’ who needs to work on their boundaries. He came over in the middle of the night questioning about your whereabouts after sending you NUMEROUS texts and phone calls. He was insistent on seeing you or he would have gotten your little hunter association involved and I didn’t think you would want that.” He groans with this cute pout on his face. “It seems you have a lot of these type of ‘friends’ who lack any type of boundaries. You should work on that sweetie.”
You reach out to grab his face making him look at you, his gaze softened when he saw your face “Thank you for taking care of me, Sy.”
He grabs your hand a places a small kiss upon the back of it, “Of course Kitten”

I thought elders could use some randomness in their final fate. Made 3 semi-random events for them:
live longer
die early
get sick
Early death branches into:
sudden "heart attack" followed by - death by fright, or - death by drowning if they happened to be swimming at the time
decreased age duration followed by death of old age the next day or so
At first, it was going to be sort of a coin flip once a day deciding whether a playable elder dies prematurely, or gets an additional day of life, or keeps living for the allotted time. Turned out a little more detailed and configurable
Tumblr media
Sickness is not as impactful, just something to highlight old age problems. It's a maxis style disease curable by soup and rest (thinking of realistic medical conditions made me sad and I stopped)

Masterlist
Tumblr media
The first time you met Lando Norris, it was in the most unconventional way possible—at the end of a loaded gun. You had stumbled into his life purely by accident, an unwitting witness to a deal gone wrong. Instead of pulling the trigger, though, Lando had taken one look at you, decided you weren’t a threat, and walked away.
That was two years ago. Now, you couldn’t imagine a world without him. The enigmatic and sharp-witted leader of an underground empire, Lando had always treated you with a rare tenderness that seemed at odds with his dangerous reputation. He was your safe harbor, your anchor in a stormy world.
But life had a cruel sense of humor.
When you’d first started feeling unwell, you had brushed it off as stress. It wasn’t until the symptoms worsened—intense fatigue, frequent headaches, and moments where your body simply didn’t seem to cooperate—that you finally sought medical advice. The diagnosis hit you like a freight train: a rare autoimmune disease, one that would require extensive treatment, medication, and constant management.
Your world crumbled, and with it, so did your relationship with Lando.
“You’re breaking up with me?” Lando’s voice was sharp, laced with disbelief as he stared at you across the living room of his penthouse.
You stood with your arms wrapped around yourself, the weight of the decision pressing down on you like a physical force. “It’s for the best, Lando.”
“For the best?” His brows furrowed, anger simmering beneath his calm façade. “Don’t give me that bullshit, Y/N. What’s really going on?”
“I just... I can’t do this anymore,” you said, your voice trembling. “I can’t be in your world. It’s too much.”
His jaw clenched, his piercing eyes scanning your face for the truth you weren’t telling. “After two years, you’re just realizing that?���
You bit your lip, tears threatening to spill. “I’m sorry.”
“Sorry isn’t enough.” Lando took a step closer, his voice dropping to a softer tone. “Talk to me. Whatever it is, we can fix it.”
You shook your head, your heart breaking as you turned away. “Not this time, Lando.”
He reached out, but you were already walking out the door.
For weeks, Lando tried to respect your decision, though it ate away at him. You had been his constant, the only person who saw past the walls he’d built around himself. He couldn’t fathom why you’d left so suddenly, especially when everything between you had seemed perfect.
When his men started reporting that you’d been visiting the hospital frequently, his suspicions grew. Lando was a man who thrived on control, and the lack of answers gnawed at him.
It wasn’t just the hospital visits. He’d had your finances investigated—a move that left him feeling slightly guilty, though he justified it by telling himself it was for your protection. What he found made his blood run cold. Large, frequent payments to a private medical facility.
Something was wrong.
The knock on your apartment door startled you. You weren’t expecting anyone, least of all *him*. But when you opened the door and saw Lando standing there, his dark eyes filled with a mixture of anger and concern, your stomach sank.
“We need to talk,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.
You stepped aside, your heart pounding as he walked into the small living room. He looked out of place in the modest space, his tailored suit and commanding presence a stark contrast to the worn furniture and cluttered coffee table.
“How did you—”
“Don’t,” he interrupted, turning to face you. “Don’t lie to me, Y/N. I know something’s going on. The hospital visits, the payments—what’s wrong?”
You froze, panic rising in your chest. “Lando, I—”
“Tell me,” he said firmly, stepping closer. “I know you. I know this isn’t about me or my world. So stop pushing me away and tell me the truth.”
You swallowed hard, tears welling in your eyes. There was no point in lying anymore. “I’m sick, Lando.”
His expression softened instantly, the anger draining from his face. “Sick? How?”
You sank onto the couch, your hands trembling as you explained. “I have an autoimmune disease. It’s... it’s not curable, but it’s manageable with treatment. It’s expensive, though, and it’s going to take a toll on me physically. I didn’t want to burden you with it.”
Lando sat down beside you, his eyes locked on yours. “Burden me? Is that what you think this is?”
“I didn’t want you to see me like this,” you whispered. “And I didn’t want you to feel like you had to take care of me. You have enough to deal with already.”
He reached out, cupping your face gently. “You’re not a burden, Y/N. You could never be a burden.”
You shook your head, tears streaming down your cheeks. “I didn’t want you to be sad because of me. I didn’t want you to watch me struggle.”
Lando’s thumb brushed away your tears as he leaned closer. “You don’t get to decide that for me. I love you. Do you hear me? I love you. And if you’re struggling, then we’ll struggle together. I’m not going anywhere.”
You let out a choked sob, leaning into his touch. “Lando, I—”
“No,” he said firmly, his voice steady. “No more pushing me away. No more secrets. I’m going to take care of you, whether you like it or not. And don’t even think about arguing, because you know I’ll win.”
Despite the tears, you let out a shaky laugh. “You’re impossible.”
“And you love me for it,” he said, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead. “We’ll get through this, Y/N. I’ll make sure you have the best treatment, the best doctors—whatever you need. You’re not doing this alone.”
For the first time in weeks, the weight on your chest began to lift. Lando’s unwavering determination and love gave you a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, you didn’t have to face this battle alone.
True to his word, Lando spared no expense in ensuring you received the best care possible. He accompanied you to appointments, held your hand during difficult moments, and made it his mission to keep you smiling even on the hardest days.
The world might have painted Lando Norris as a cold, ruthless leader, but you knew the truth. Beneath the tough exterior was a man who loved fiercely and unconditionally.
And as you sat together one evening, his arms wrapped around you as you watched the city lights from his penthouse, you realized that no illness could take away the bond you shared.
With Lando by your side, you knew you could face anything.

“You know why I hate plagues?”
The girl hesitated, confused by the abrupt change of subject. That was the fever, she realized. It made Rosethorn’s mind skip about. “Why?” Daja asked.
“Most disasters are fast, and big. You can see everyone else’s life got overturned when yours did. Houses are smashed, livestock’s dead. But plagues isolate people. They shut themselves inside while disease takes a life at a time, day after day. it adds up. Whole cities break under the load of what was lost. People stop trusting each other, because you don’t know who’s sick.”
 - Briar’s Book, Tamora Pierce

B has been feeling a little weird all day. A little shivery, a little tired, a little achey, starting to get sniffly, but overall okay. They don’t feel sick per se, just a little off.
Cut to B having a little movie night with their partner A, who is cradling B’s head in their lap. A is carding softly through their hair as they feel B’s breathing start to grow deeper and slower. They smile and move their fingers down towards B’s eyes, only to brush their forehead and stop. Is it just them, or is B feeling a little warm? They move their hand to B’s cheek, their other cupping the nape of their neck.
“You feeling okay? You feel really warm,” A asked, feeling B roll a little bit in their lap.
B mumbled something before burying their hot face deeper into the blankets and sniffling liquidly.
“Aw honey, let me get you some Tylenol so you can get some rest.”

Lia wälti x reader where reader comes down with food poisoning and is beyond sick but still insisting she can go to training after spending their day off and the whole night being sick. Lia looks after her and tells her that she is not training she needs to rest
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lia Wälti x Reader
- I’ll be fine -
WC: 713
MasterList
Warnings: short, sick?
You wake up to the sound of your alarm blaring and immediately regret it. The moment you move, your stomach churns violently, a fresh wave of nausea washing over you. You groan, pressing the heels of your hands against your eyes in an attempt to will it all away.
You’ve been like this since yesterday—your one day off, ruined by what you’re now certain was a bad meal. The day had started fine, but by the afternoon, you were battling stomach cramps, and by the evening, it was a full-blown war. A sleepless night followed, leaving you shaky, exhausted, and feeling like you’d been run over by a truck.
Still, it’s training day, and you’re convinced you can power through it.
You manage to sit up in bed, though it takes far more effort than it should. Your head feels heavy, your limbs even more so, but you start to shuffle toward the bathroom to splash some water on your face.
That’s when Lia appears in the doorway, arms crossed, her expression caught somewhere between concern and disbelief.
“Are you seriously trying to get up right now?” she asks, her Swiss accent soft yet pointed.
You freeze, mid-step, and try to muster up a nonchalant tone. “I’m fine, Lia. Just… a little tired, that’s all.”
She raises an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “You’ve been throwing up all night. You barely slept. And now you think you’re going to training?”
You sigh, leaning against the doorframe for support. “I have to go. Jonas will kill me if I don’t show up.”
“Jonas will understand,” Lia counters, stepping closer to place a gentle but firm hand on your arm. “You’re not going anywhere in this state.”
“I can do it,” you protest weakly, though even you don’t believe it at this point.
Lia shakes her head, her expression softening as she guides you back toward the bed. “No, you can’t. And you don’t have to.”
You’re too tired to argue further, allowing her to help you sit down. Your body sinks into the mattress, relief flooding through you despite your stubbornness.
“I’ll be fine,” you mumble, though your voice lacks conviction.
Lia crouches in front of you, her hands resting lightly on your knees. “You’re not fine,” she says gently. “And it’s okay to admit that. No one expects you to push through when you’re this sick.”
You glance down at her, guilt creeping in. “I just don’t want to let anyone down.”
Her expression softens even more, and she reaches up to brush a strand of hair away from your face. “You’re not letting anyone down by taking care of yourself. In fact, you’ll be letting the team down if you push yourself too hard and end up even worse.”
She’s right, of course, but it’s hard for you to let go of the guilt. You sigh, leaning your head back against the headboard. “I hate being sick.”
“I know,” Lia says, a small smile tugging at her lips. “But that’s why I’m here—to make sure you rest, even if I have to fight you on it.”
True to her word, Lia spends the entire day looking after you. She brings you tea and dry crackers, though you can barely stomach either. She adjusts the pillows behind your back when you’re lying down and puts a cool cloth on your forehead when you complain about feeling too warm.
At one point, you manage to fall into a restless sleep, only to wake up to the sound of her soft humming. She’s sitting in a chair beside the bed, reading a book, but her attention shifts to you the moment your eyes flutter open.
“How are you feeling?” she asks, setting the book aside.
“Like I got hit by a bus,” you admit, your voice hoarse.
Her lips twitch into a small, sympathetic smile. “Sounds about right. But you’re not getting up until you’re better, understood?”
You nod reluctantly, too tired to argue anymore. “Thanks, Lia. For… all of this.”
She reaches over to squeeze your hand. “Always. Now, get some rest. I’ll be right here if you need anything.”
And with her by your side, you finally feel like you can let go of the guilt and focus on getting better.

So I definitely had an allergic reaction to the clonidine patch while wearing it, but I took it off last Tuesday, and I didn't develop a sore throat or itchy rash until this past Sunday. Now, sore throat and rash are symptoms of an allergic reaction but are also symptoms of strep throat, which is something I used to get regularly. I've never had a rash like this before with either condition, but my body always finds entertaining new ways to betray me.
I'm not running a fever yet, but I'm supposed to be visiting friends on Saturday and babysitting on Sunday (first time babysitting little A, the youngest of my niblings) so I don't want to make assumptions with their health on the line.
This is POORLY TIMED, YOU DUMB MEAT SUIT.
And the local clinic's website is down so I guess I'm just gonna mask up and walk in at nine. At least it's nearby.

God, I love sickfics that cut between a Whumpee’s current illness, and illnesses they’ve had in the past. Before, being sick was traumatic and lonely. Maybe they were neglected or even ostracized for their illness. In the present day, they don’t know how to handle being loved.
