We welcome all forms of fan creativity, so feel free to submit your art, writing, playlists, videos, and anything else that you come up with <33

If you want us to reblog your creation please tag this blog! You can also use the tag #TerrorFluffWeek.

Billy doesn't get a day off and takes care of a severely fevered Cornelius. --

“Gibson washed his brow with a soaking cloth, going from his auburn roots to the birth of his neck. Tracing the skin gently, patting his blushed cheeks , contouring his nose, stopping at the hollow of his closed eyes to carve out the fever. Cornelius stayed so still, so compliant, Billy thought him asleep at last. But as he finished the man's cool down, almost shyly, his eyes came open- Red rimmed and teary with heath- and his teeth appeared between his copper whiskers.”

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Terror (TV 2018) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: John Bridgens/Henry "Harry" Peglar Characters: John Bridgens, Henry "Harry" Peglar Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, First Kiss, Getting Together Summary:

John does not often pursue his fellow sailors at sea, and doesn't seek out his own current shipmates even in port. Then he meets Harry Peglar, with his clever hands and clever mind, his sunny kindness. He is friends with most everyone but seems especially eager to be friends with John, when by all rights he should only think him plodding and stuffy. It is little wonder John's attention is caught.

He didn't expect Harry to look back.

Dundy and Graham meet-cute in a grocery store. *** “Do you have—umm,” Henry says, feeling the snot attempt a daring escape, “I don’t know. Cottage cheese or something?” The cashier’s eyes light up with more joy than cottage cheese has ever deserved. “Oh, cottage cheese, excellent choice,” he says, already leading Henry down the aisle to the dairy section and grabbing a basket on the way. “Lots of calcium and protein. Basically a superfood.” This one knows about protein, Henry scoffs internally, eyeing the broad back and prominent muscles ahead of him. *** For the @terrorfluffweek2026 Prompt: Meet-cutes, Romcom Moments

But when he looked at George, who was currently wolfing down caramels most inelegantly, he didn't feel lust at all. He felt this strange fluttering in his chest, and a rush of adoration for everything he did, and (strangely) the urge to wrap him up in blankets and feed him by hand and protect him forever. Was that normal? Was this what all those movies, books, and love songs had been talking about this whole time? ❤︎⁠ Two strangers get stuck on a Ferris wheel. What could happen? ❤︎⁠ Written for Day 1 of Terror Fluff Week 2026: Meet-cutes, Romcom Moments

It's early. He's stiff. And sore. And he can't take all his medication because he's covering for a class and doesn't want to be loopy. It doesn't seem like it could get any worse. And it doesn't, though Dundy would never admit that. He'd never admit George's presence is like a ray of sunshine out of a children's musical cartoon, complete with singing animated birds perching on his shoulder. Because it's definitely not. There are no warm fuzzy feelings or contagious smiles, dammit.

(with amazing art!)
