For headcanons, M6 with an MC who still has red Plauge sympthoms ? š
Ooooooooh I've seen this floating around, me likey. Also I think you mean they still have the symptoms but aren't sick, so I'm gonna write that
GN Reader, who knows when this takes place tbh, it's probably not too long after the main game and they probably had it the whole time, spoilers for Asra's, Julian's, and Lucio's route
š®Asra Alnazarš®
Oh he feels like shit about it
When he brought you back, he sacrificed so much to see you again, and when you opened your eyes and the sclera was the telltale red of the plague, the remaining half of his heart drops
You don't even know. You're so innocent in those first few weeks. You don't know anything about yourself, about what happened, and you don't understand why people give you a wide berth when you go with him to the market, and he can't even tell you
However, he just has to deal with it
Some of the other symptoms seem to be similar to fever, like looking pale and always being hot, so people always think you're sick but really you just look like that lol
The red veins look cool tho so you've got that going for you
Back to always being hot, he makes sure that you have lots of water on you, gets you fans on his travels, carries an umbrella with him, and makes sure you wear light and flowy clothing so that you're not passing out in the middle of the market
If you're uncomfortable with how you look because of the symptoms, he'll definitely get you clothes or other articles to cover them up. Gotta make sure you're fashionable
One of his ways of showing love is giving gifts, and he wants to make sure you're comfortable with something you can't control
šNadia Satrinavaš
She had to witness the Plague essentially wipe out her city, all while the people who were supposed to help sat by the wayside and let it all happen. Needless to say she's a little bit angry at the whole Plague
Not at you of course! Just at the fact that you're still tainted by it when it was thought to be gone
Once you explain that you only look like you have the Plague and have a few minor symptoms but you're not actually sick, she does feel a little better
She probably....*sighs* she might have to avoid letting you be with her in public for a while. It's a lose-lose situation, you're gonna get weird looks and people's respect for her is gonna drop and nothing's gonna get done
But once that's over with she's showing you off honey (only as much as you're comfortable with of course)
Prakra is in the north I believe and it's hotter there, so she has plenty of experience with heat. She helps keep your fever down when it flares up and, like Asra, gets you gorgeous fans and parasols and flowy clothing to help keep you comfortable
She utilizes her ice cold glare at anyone who wants to be rude to you >:3
She'll also make sure no one bothers you if you feel like crap and you don't wanna get out of bed, except for the doctor to make you feel better
No matter what you look like, she will always love you, and she will make sure everyone knows this

Twinsies! (angsty)
Okay, but really, his first approach is the doctorly one. He's checking you all over, trying to figure out how far along your illness is and how long he has until you've left him...
Again.
(assuming he knows you before you died at least)
He's stumped when all the results come out negative for the Plague. After constant reassurance, he has nothing to do but accept that this is just some strange magic stuff that's out of his league.
Tracing your red veins...........while you sleep.........or while he thinks you're asleep....................nnnnnnngh
This man has poor circulation so he sticks his hands under your shirt to warm them up. And also to mess with you and laugh when you scream lol
He also stands over you and flares out his big dumb (affectionate) jacket when you forget an umbrella and it's hot out. Kids keep mistaking him for a vampire tho and they run away and he always feels so bad
He might still be looking for a cure during the night when you're asleep. Even though he knows the Plague is over and Lucio is dead/dead adjacent, it still hurts his heart a little to see you like this
He wants to fix you, even if it drives him to death......again

He wasn't super affected by the Plague itself, more just by Lucio's existence, so he's not super affected by you having symptoms
And the animals aren't gonna care, and it's not like anyone who doesn't know of your condition is gonna come over, so he just lets it be
If any of the symptoms do start bothering you he of course will help. He knows herbal medicine so he can help bring a fever down or deal with aches and bad coughs
Healing kisses from Inanna!! :3
He tries to keep you from doing very strenuous work sometimes, like lifting a bunch of logs for the fireplace, and if you're really stubborn about it he'll just carry you instead. Mountain man will use his mountain arms
He'll gently stroke your head if you're having a hard time sleeping.....getting up to get you water if need be.....telling you stories to try and lull you to sleep........listen to you cry if that's causing you problems.................somft
On the rare occasions you do have to go into town, he'll swallow his apprehension to follow you and give death glares to anyone who wants to try and make a comment
Loaning you his cloak :3 loving and protecting you dearly :3 :3 :3
š±Portia Devorakš±
She has no connection to the Plague so it doesn't affect her at all! She just thinks you look sick as hell!
Like......literally! Are you okay?
You have to explain to her what's going on but after that it's all good
Pepi loooooooves how warm you are. She always wants to snuggle with you during the winter. Then again I think Portia is also pretty warm so she's a little jealous lol
Sunhat and parasols to keep you cool! It's also fashionable in the summer >:3
She probably makes vampire jokes about you ngl (only if you're comfortable with it tho)
S............skin..........skinnydip...........skinny-dipping............*falls into hole*
If you're ever feeling bad about how you look she is there to lift you up 110%. No one's gonna feel bad about their appearance on her watch!
Also tracing your veins. Yes
She says they look like plant roots :3
You're always comfortable with her, no matter what. She is the comfy QUEEN!

Twinsies! (happy)
Okay obviously he's not entirely happy about you looking like you have the Plague cuz that reminds him of all the horrible shit he's done
But damn if you two don't look good together
He'll give you makeup tips on how to show off your red eyes and really make them the centerpiece of your outfit
And he'll give you glamorous outfits that compliment your skin tone and red veins
People might think you're siblings if you match well enough
He's also showing you off to everyone in the classic Lucio style, but it might be a bit much. If it is he'll send everyone out of the castle...classic Lucio style
If you're more of an introvert he'll try to keep the parties small, and he actually will! He loves to party but he also loves to respect your boundaries!
There will be moments, of course, when he has an existential crisis and starts spiraling downhill with flashbacks of being a ghost and the fire and the beetles and the red flooding his vision and the cold, cold forest and the way the snow crunches under his feet and the horrible sounds of--
Take his hand. Kiss the back of it. Listen to him. It's alright. Breathe. You're here. You forgive him
Or maybe you don't idk
Either way he always wants to show you off no matter what and let everyone know how much he loves you
