Sicktember 2024 - Tumblr Posts

Psssst

*drops this on the ground and scurries away*

Last month, I participated in Sicktember!

I wrote 27 fanfictions total in the Don't Starve fandom. It took me about three months to write them all, and I'm still missing three days. It was really hard and time consuming, and I lost a lot of sleep for it, but it was fun.

I put them all into a series for ease of access, and here's a link to that:

Below the cut are links to all of the individual fics w/ their prompts & the involved characters. Hope you find something you like!

Sicktember Day 11: Medieval treatment

Sicktember Day 1: “I’m not hungover, I’m just sick”

Sicktember is finally here! I literally feel like it’s a national holiday lmao. Please enjoy day one! ⭐️

Rating: G

Media: Genshin Impact

Characters: Kaveh and Alhaitham

Summary: Alhaitham is more than used to Kaveh being hungover in the mornings. He’s ready to tease him for it until he realizes that his roommate might just be sick.

So for Sicktember day 8, I’m planning on writing a camping trip with 4ggravate. One of them is gonna get really sick, but idk who I wanna whump lol. I’m leaning towards Cyno bc I always torment him, but I wanna know what you guys think!

Sicktember Day 2: Overindulgence/Too much of a good thing

Yippeeeeee day 2! Hope you like this one :) Please lemme know if you did, I thrive off validation LOL

Rating: G

Media: Final Fantasy XV

Characters: Noctis, Ignis, and Prompto

Summary: Noctis snuck out of his apartment to go game with Prompto. He fills up on junk food and soda before sneaking back. Much to his dismay, Ignis had prepared a heavy dinner for him. He didn’t want to get in any trouble, so he’d just have to force himself to eat it all.

Sicktember Day 3: Campus Crud

Thank you to anonymous for suggesting the outline for this prompt! It was a big help! :)

I hope you all enjoy 🩷

Rating: G

Media: Final Fantasy XV

Characters: Noctis, Prompto, and Ignis

Summary: There’s a bug going around Noctis and Prompto’s school.

I’m so excited about Sicktember, and I’m really enjoying it so far, but I’m even further behind now than I was before and it kinda makes me wonder if maybe I should just write the ones that I have ideas for/suggestions for and just skip the others. I don’t want to burn myself out or sacrifice quality over quantity, especially since finishing this month will be doubling the number of fics I already have written over the last year. Not to mention how it puts my vampire!Kaveh fic completely on the back burner.

Maybe I’m overthinking, I dunno! Because it would be so satisfying to actually finish this challenge. 😭

Sicktember Day 5: Rogue Organ

I hope you enjoy! Please remember to mind the tags :)

Rating: T

Media: Genshin Impact

Characters: Cyno, Tighnari, Alhaitham, Kaveh, Lambad, Golshan, Tamara, and Zakariya

Summary: One evening at Lambad’s, Tighnari, Alhaitham, and Kaveh are surprised to find Cyno acting very bizarrely. It turns out to be something far worse than any of them imagined. Even life-threatening.

Quick, for Sicktember Day 7: Borrowed hoodie

Sicktember Day 6: Dizziness/vertigo

Thank you to anonymous for the outline suggestion for this prompt! It was super fun to write :) 🩷

Rating: T

Media: Final Fantasy XV

Characters: Noctis, Gladiolus, mentioned Ignis

Summary: Noctis is not feeling well, but knows he can’t put off his training. He eventually pushes himself to his limit.

I’ve finally come to a decision on Sicktember! I do want to continue writing fics for every prompt, but I will not be writing/posting them on the exact day they’re meant to be posted on. For example, day 8 is going to posted not on September 8th, but whenever it is finished. It’s gonna bug my ocd but hopefully it should allow for a smoother process and keeping myself from getting burnt out. I hope this is alright and you’ll continue to support my work :)

Sicktember Day 7: Borrowed Hoodie

Rating: G

Media: Genshin Impact

Characters: Cyno and Tighnari

Summary: While out on a walk, Cyno begins feeling very cold and very fatigued.

Idea for Day 25: Summer Flu -

Insomnia is holding an inaugural Summer Festival (or whatever you want to call it) to celebrate the city, the history, and the people. Everyone is buzzing with excitement during the preperations.

The royal family will be making an appearance and Noctis will have a big role, as he is coming of age and needs to begin taking on more responsibilities.

The problem is, Noctis has been feeling under the weather for the past several days and the festival is tomorrow. He falls sicker and sicker in the days leading up to the big event, and gets really sick the night before, spending much of the evening in the bathroom with Ignis (no romance).

He looks terrible on the day of the festival, but he still is determined to make an appearance. The people of Insomnia can't help but notice that their prince looks totally miserable...

Omg this is wonderful! Thank you very much for the suggestion! It’s certainly going on the list :)
