This week, we dive into the show, exploring all the wildly creative alter egos of Sam and Dean Winchester across 15 seasons, from parallel universe versions to possession and shape-shifting storylines.

But we didn't stop with Sam and Dean, so the supporting character list grew quite lengthy. Discover what makes these variations resonate with fans, and why fanfic writers keep returning to this endlessly adaptable canon.

rating; pg :)

warnings; mentions of the flu, being sick

a/n; fuck knows what it is, but the thought of taking care of dandy when he’s ill, JUST… GAH <3

(also i was half asleep whilst writing this so.. yk)

It was the fifth night of sleeping with this unforgivable flu. Dandy felt like total hell and all day he had dreaded the thought of going to bed. Each time was just the same. And trust me, tossing and turning with a stuffy nose wasn’t easy. Especially when you were beside him trying to rest for the night. He couldn’t stand it!

He knew his constant shivering and whimpering would keep you awake. Not to mention the fact his nose was streaming like a cold tap, forcing him to blow it every ten minutes. God, it was a nightmare.

Dandy had even tried sleeping in a separate bedroom to avoid waking you up. But nothing seemed to work. You could hear him sneezing his head off from the other room, leaving you to just lay awake, staring at the ceiling.

You’re sick beloved also tried sleeping pills to knock himself out for the night. Yet his poor nose kept bothering him, so the pills had no effect whatsoever. You felt so sorry for Dandy. These past few days he’d been totally exhausted..

Tonight, you insisted he stayed in here with you. You couldn’t care less if you were up all night. You would be willing to stay awake and soothe him for as long as he needed.

Though, within the last few hours, you couldn’t keep you’re eyes open any longer. It was lovely to finally drift into a peaceful slumber, but poor Dandy’s immune system wouldn’t be letting his body copy you’re actions anytime soon..

He lay awake, sniffling as hard as he could to help him breathe even for a few minutes. Nothing helped. In fact, sniffing the bodily fluids back up just made it way worse.

Yet again, Dandy was pestered by the same annoying itch in his nose that had been there all damn day. That irritating, tortuous tickle.

“No..” He whispered quietly to himself, slowly reaching over to his bedside table to collect a tissue from the box you brought to him earlier on today.

He took the soft paper and pinched his nose with it, rubbing slightly to help get rid of the tickle.

This was no use. It just created an aggravating spasm in his sinuses, his body almost instantly telling him that he needed to sneeze.

“Heh..” The tickle began. Dandy placed a long finger under his nose, his breath hitching as he tried to stave off the sneeze.

“Heh…”

Dandy looked at you’re sleeping form through watering eyes, knowing you wouldn’t be like this for much longer..

“Hheeeeh-ASHOOO!” The sickly man sneezed. You felt yourself jump out of you’re skin as you flew off the bed, startled by the extremely loud noise.

Dandy stared at you blankly, grabbing another tissue and blowing his nose. You exhaled calmly, relieved that it was just you’re ill partner.

“I’m sorry..” Dandy sniffled. “I should go back to the other room.”

He got up and went for the door, so you bolted towards it and made sure it was locked. “Now don’t you be so silly! Please get back under the covers, sweetheart. You’re staying here with me tonight whether you like it or not.”

Dandy smiled and did as he was told. You walked over to the bed, getting back in and ordering him to tell you if he gets cold through any hours of the night.

He sneezed a few more times and you blessed him. Allowing him to nestle into you’re side, preparing to drift off.

“My poor Dandy.. tomorrow morning we’ll go right to the doc- the doc..” You quickly snatched one of the tissues from Dandy’s box, shocking yourself with a delicate sneeze.

You glared up at him from beneath the tissue, you’re facial expression telling him all he needed to know.

What would you like to see happen in story three?

Story 1: Leave Me Alone! — Starscream is sick with Cybertronian Flu and (probably against his better judgement) Megatron decides to give him the best care he is able. When he begins to feel unwell in turn, he is not overly concerned. At least, not until his medic is.

Story 2: A Brave New Start — with a terminal illness diagnosed, Megatron begins to give the future serious consideration. How does he want to be remembered?

Story 3: Life on the Moon — the initial stages of peace, with Optimus Prime and Megatron co-leading their integrating former factions. What could possibly go wrong?

- inspired by @sickficideas (go check them out! they inspired me to start actually posting on this blog) he definitely suffers from ibs! i feel like it would be mostly triggered by stress since there is always so much going on in the agency 😭

- the type to work himself until he physically can’t go on. migraines? stomach pains? fever? he WILL work through it until he passes out. even if he throws up he will immediately continue to work once he gets his stomach under control

- on the contrary, he will immediately send his coworkers home if he senses they don’t feel well. slight headache? common cold? well obviously you’re in no condition to come to work! stay at home where you can rest and not get anyone else ill

- he burps and hiccups a lot when he’s nauseous! he mostly tries to keep them in, but if one slips out it’s a dead giveaway that he’s ill
