47 – Wary - Hannibal, Gen, Will & Alana
He ducks and weaves Alana successfully all day till she finally corners him in the lecture theatre. It's cheating, he thinks. He can't avoid her now as his class files out and she's left standing by the exit. He tidies his things away, making the most of the post-class bustle to sniffle as much as possible before he has to tackle her.

In the end, she doesn't approach him. He walks towards her, pauses and sneezes once into his elbow. He sighs and nods. "I'll cover your 4pm," she says and she's gone. Sometimes he's not sure who's avoiding who.


24 – Mask - Hannibal, Gen, Hannibal & Bedelia
She answers the phone after two rings, as always.

"Dogtor DuBoyet?"

"I'm sorry?" she asks.

"It's Haddi- Dogtor Lecter, I'b afrai- H'kishh! Erhishhh!" She can hear the restraint in the sneezes.

"Hannibal." She knows he's human and therefore must get sick like everyone else but it's difficult to imagine. She wishes he wasn't ringing to cancel their appointment; it would be interesting to see him when he was sick, to see if it would let the mask slip at all. She shivers. "I understand, I’ll see you next week."

“Thahh- I'tshhh! Hereshurrh! Thadk you.”

"Of course." As an afterthought she adds, "Feel better."


36 – Miserable - Lewis, Gen, Hathaway & Lewis
It's the only time he really hates smoking. The first inhale is equal parts unpleasant as it burns his already sore throat and a relief as the nicotine flows through him. He's got a few minutes before Lewis reappears, more than enough time to savour the cigarette. He bites down on the cough that's threatening to ruin the moment and finishes it, stubbing the remains out with his toe.

Lewis sighs when he gets in the car and hands him a polystyrene cup of tea and a packet of Lockets. 'Thank you sii- hehkszchhht!'

"You'll have to give'em up someday."



10 – Cough - Lewis, Gen, Lewis & Hathaway.
Lewis sends him home the next day after a coughing spell so long and violent that he's forced to leave halfway through their suspect's interview.

Hathaway's just settling in to an evening of feeling sorry for himself, stopping coughing only to sneeze and blow his nose when the doorbell rings.

Lewis just sighs when he sees him. He's a pathetic sight, shivering through a thick jumper and red-faced from coughing. Lewis steers him back to the sofa, a firm hand on his back, rubbing comforting circles as Hathaway continues his hacking. He's absurdly grateful when Lewis produces a bottle of cough mixture.


68 – Attitude - Rizzoli & Isles, Femslash, Rizzoli/Isles
"Itshuhh! Itschuhh! Ihht-tschuhhh!"Jane groaned and plucked a handful of kleenex from the box before blowing her nose.

"Bless you," replies Maura entirely too cheerfully. Jane shoots her a death glare and mutters something under her breath. "You know research shows that a positive mental attitude can improve recovery rates from shorter illnesses as well as-"

"Hukitschh!"

"-Bless you! As well as more serious illnesses."

"Are you saying by attitude is keebing be sigk? Way to kick a girl when she's dowd. Urgh." She blew her nose again.

"Sex is an efficient way at boosting the immune system." Maura added with a glint in her eye.


53 – Blanket - In The Heights, Vanessa/Usnavi
Vanessa wrapped Abuela's worn blanket around the both of them, letting Usnavi rest his head on her shoulder. "Feeling any better?"

"A little. I'm sorry I ruined 4th July."

She laughed. "Usnavi, we're alone, we can see the fireworks, what else do we need?"

"A more romantic setting than the fire escape? Hu'tschh!" He snapped his head away sneezing into the crook of his elbow.

"Bless." It was a warm evening but she could feel Usnavi shivering next to her. "You work too hard but you dragged yourself away from the store for one evening. I don't need anything else."

Fandoms: Political Animals, Rizzoli & Isles,

Warnings: None

11 – Hot/Cold - Political Animals, Doug, T.J.

It's a joke how they still manage this. They used to do it as kids and it was understandable then as kids always fall sick at the same time but they're grown men now. But T.J.'s at one end, still the one running hot, sweat on his brow and wearing a faded tee shirt. Doug's huddled under a blanket and wearing his old college sweatshirt.

Their feet meet under a tangle of blankets in the middle. Elaine's torn between despairing and wanting to make them Chicken and Stars. In the end, she leaves for work. She hopes Anne realises that with Doug comes T.J.

54 – Needles - Rizzoli & Isles, Maura/Jane.

"You have a fever of 102.5," said Maura. "You have the flu."

Jane whined and pulled the blanket over her head.

Maura pulled it back. "I thought you got a flu shot?"

Jane squirmed. Maybe if she looked pathetic enough Maura would give her a break.

"Jane?"

"I don't like needles." She muttered. "Not if there's a choice."

Maura was silent for a moment, smoothing a stray curl off Jane's forehead. "Okay," she squeezed Jane's hand.

"No lecture?"

Maura laughed. "It can wait till you're better. Here," she poured Jane a glass of water and handed her two capsules. "For the fever."

97 – Fashion - Rizzoli & Isles, Maura/Jane,

They're curled up on the couch together, Jane half watching the game, half-watching Maura and Maura dozing against Jane. Maura's paler than usual with dark circles under her eyes and a definite pink tinge to her nose.

And yet somehow, Jane can't work it out, she still looks stunning. When Jane's ill she uses it as an excuse to wear her slobbiest old sweats with holes in. Maura is wearing 'housepants', whatever they are and a Maraschino sweater. Jane's 99% certain it's Maraschino. She might have been paying more attention to the score than to what Maura was saying earlier.

34 – Relief - Hannibal, Gen, Will, Beverley

He's had two days off with a cold, the fever's gone he's still sneezing and coughing and everyone's looking at him like he really is Jack's broken little teacup. Except Beverley.

"You better?" she fixes him with a direct stare.

"Getting there," he says, then dives into a tissue to sneeze. "Etchishh!"

"Hmm, bless you." And that's all she has to say on the matter. It's refreshing, that she takes him at his word. She inquires after his health again after a coughing fit later that afternoon but she trusts him enough that he'll say something to her if he feels worse.

75 – Heartless - Hannibal, Gen, Jack, Will.

Jack, contrary to popular opinion, is not heartless. He cares for Will but there's also three bodies in Duluth. There'll be another one by the end of the week if the killer sticks to his pattern. There's no time for sick days on his team. Will's rounding out another sneezing fit, Jack's lost count of what number this is today. He checked with Will earlier that he was up to this and received a yes. That's what he needs to hear and until Will tells him otherwise it's all he will hear. He blesses Will then briefs him for the walk through.

16 – Three - James Bond (Skyfall era), Gen, Q, Moneypenny, Bond

"You need to turn the keys at the exact same moment, on three." His voice is strained over the satellite link.

Moneypenny and Bond nod at each and place their hands on the keys in the locks of the computer dashboard.

"On my countdown," says Q. Both Moneypenny and Bond can see the timer in front of them hurtling towards zero.

"Twenty seconds," says Moneypenny.

"One. Two-"

"Wait!" says Bond. "Ifshhh! Ifschuhh!"

There's a beat then nothing. Then Q counting, "One. Two. Three."

They turn the keys and the countdown on the dash stops.

"Bless you 007," says Moneypenny. Bond's cheeks colour.

18 – Midnight - The Americans, Philip/Elizabeth

Elizabeth glances at the clock as Philip climbs into bed. Just gone midnight, early really.

"Everything go okay?"

"Nothing at the site. I'll check again to... tomo... tomor-row... Hehh'tishh! Huhh'schihhh-uhh!"

"Bless you! Are you okay?"

"Probably just that cold Henry had last week."

"Oh." She rests her hand against his forehead, it's a little warm. She pulls him closer and lets him curl up against her. They've been 'married' for almost 16 years now but this is new. She rests her hand on his chest, feels his breath stutter and catch before he twists away to sneeze again. She kisses his temple. "Bless you."

21 – Pollen - Just une question d'amour, Laurent/Cédric

He's watched Cédric sniffle, sneeze and rub his eyes all morning. Cédric spends the mid part of the day in his lab as usual, reappearing in the evening to help Laurent start watering the plants. Cédric's out there about 10 minutes before he unleashes a violent volley of sneezes. "Eshouu! heh-ktschh! H'kttschh! Ktschh! Hehhh-kscheew!"

"Bless you!" He frowns. "Why didn't you tell me you have hayfever?"

Cédric blushes. "It's only when the pollen count is very high"

"But still... a garden centre?"

Cédric laughs. "Once I've invented the perfect tomato I'm starting work on a cure for hayfever. Don't worry!"

Fandoms: Hannibal, Graceland, Shame,

Warnings: None.

5 – Pencil - Hannibal, Gen,

There was something soothing in sharpening a pencil with a scalpel; precise movements that would coax fresh life from a dull instrument.

He worked methodically then paused as he felt a slight tickle in his nose. He usually abhorred sniffing but alone in the privacy of his office he allowed himself to sniff once to see if that would rid himself of the urge to sneeze.

Instead, it intensified. Setting the pencil and the scalpel down he freed a handkerchief from from his pocket and turned away from the desk. "Hehh, Hrr'isshhoo! Ehh, hrrreshoo!"

Another small sniff then he returned to work.

37 – Chocolate - Hannibal, Gen, Alana, Hannibal

"It's Peruvian, made with chili and hint of lime."

Alana accepts the proffered piece of dark chocolate with a smile. "Thanks." She rests it on her tongue for a moment, savouring the complex bitter notes.

"Huh, I thought it'd have..." She trails off as the heat of the chili hits her,"Oh, there it is! Wow, that's intense." She sniffles. "Hannibal this is delicio... deli... ihh H'kshh!" Her head bobs with the sneeze and she cups her hands to her face. "Heh'kshh! Ktschh! Excuse me!"

There's a smile playing at the corner of Hannibal's lips. "Bless you. And the hint of lime...?"

58 – Annoying - Graceland, gen, Mike

He feels like the stupid kid brother tagging around with Briggs and Johnny. Nothing in the Academy's prepared him for this. It's made worse when he catches cold a few weeks after arriving. Who goes to California and catches cold anyway?

He starts sneezing, the odd single in the morning that comes with a tickle that means more aren't far behind. Mid-afternoon and he's stretched out on the couch with a box of kleenex. By the time everyone else gets home in the evening he's retreated to bed.

"Sorry I got sick," he says to Briggs.

Briggs shrugs. "You can't help it."

69 – Fuck - Shame, Brandon Woman

He'd tried sleeping the cold off but it hadn't worked. He'd watched porn all afternoon but still the urge burned through him, more insistent than the fever and headache.

He went to a bar; dim lighting would help hide his pale complexion and red nose. Nursing a scotch he began scouting. Practice and skill were no match for the interruptions of sneezing and nose-blowing. Then he saw a woman at the end of the bar staring at him. She wasn't discouraged by the sneezing or coughing.

"I don't usually do this sort of thing..."

His face carefully neutral, he replied, “Me neither.”

[Spoo]

Gasp! A wild Shame drabble appears. I have to say, Bru. The image of Brandon with a cold and still feeling that "hunger"? Yes PLEASE.

[Garnet]

Nnnn so cute, I love the Hannibal ones especially, it's a good sound for him. And aww, Beverly <3

[SpookyScarySkeleton]

Cute cute

@Spoo Thanks! I am nothing if not a fannish butterfly! Glad you liked it.

@Garnet I not so secretly love Beverley. I think she's awesome.

@DeathNoteOwner Thanks!

Fandoms: Hannibal, Graceland

Warnings: None

25 – Mistake - Hannibal, Gen, Will, Hannibal

They get about halfway through what passes as a session for the two of them, Will's voice getting more and more congested.

"I didn't feel so bad od the way over here but I'b begiddig to thidk this was a bis- bihhh- bist-ahhke Ehetschoo!" His face remains buried in the tissue before he snaps forth with another "Ehetschoo!" He groans, grabs another couple of tissues and blows his nose. "Sorry." He can't look at Hannibal, he just wants to be at home with his dogs in peace.

"Perhaps this be a good time to stop," says Hannibal.

Will nods wretchedly.

49 – Sweat - Hannibal, Gen, Will,

Unfortunately Will is used to waking up in drenched T-shirts and on soaked bedclothes. It's only when the world wobbles and he reaches for the wall to steady himself as he walks to the bathroom that he realises this is probably due to a fever than to his normal nighttime routine.

He washes his face in cold water, grimaces at his reflection in the mirror. "Haetschoo! Etschoo!" He sneezes violently, blows his nose and shuffles back to bed. He puts on a fresh t-shirt, lays a towel on top of the sheets. Even that small exercise has him beaded in sweat again.

6 – Squint - Hannibal NBC, Gen, Alana, Will

It's become a semi-regular occurrence, Alana comes over and they take the dogs on walks. Sometimes they talk about work, sometimes it's just companionable silence. They both studiously avoid the subject of Will's mental health.

The sun is just going down on the horizon, a final blaze of orange across the sky when Alana stops dead. He glances over at her to see her squinting at the sun, gloved hands hovering halfway to her face.

"Hehh, uhh, kschuhh! Ehk-tschh! Sorry," she says, voice slightly muffled by her hands.

"The sun?"

"Gets me every time," she says, still sniffling.

"Huh. Bless you."

23 – Alcohol - Hannibal, Gen, Hannibal, Will

"It'll be better than whiskey, I assure you." Hannibal says it with an air of authority that means that even if Will didn't have the most godawful headcold he still wouldn't argue with him.

The large glass is clumsy in his hand; he longs for the familiar simplicity of a tumbler. He follows Hannibal's lead, warming the glass, swirling the liquid to release the heady aroma of the Brandy. The sharp scent of the alcohol helps clear his sinuses surprisingly well and it's not unpleasant in taste.

"Well?" asks Hannibal.

"It's - Hehkshh!"

"Santé!" Hannibal toasts him with his glass.

14 - Frail - Hannibal NBC, Jack Crawford, Will,

Jack Crawford could be bedrock, Will thinks. He is solid and unmoveable and steadfast in his convictions.

But outside this latest crime scene there's something off about him. He watches as Jack pulls a handkerchief out of his winter coat pockets and sneezes twice. It can't be easy, getting sick with the office bug that's going round and not wanting to spend time with Bella for fear of making her worse. There's a moment when Jack straightens up, coughs harshly into his fist that he looks vulnerable, frail even.

Will wonders how much pressure can be exerted on bedrock before it cracks.

28 – Assignment - Graceland, Gen, Mike, Briggs,

(Note: Levi is Mike's nickname after he finds a large shipment of Levi's jeans in the pilot. Follows on from ‘Annoying’)

Mike still feels like crap the next day but everyone's out so he takes advantage of the quiet, methodically working his way through Briggs' room, stopping only when he thinks he hears a noise or when he has to sneeze or cough. By the time he's leaving, double-checking that everything's back exactly as it was, he's exhausted and he crawls back into bed falling asleep within minutes.

Briggs wakes him a few hours later. "Hey Levi, up for some reading?" and tosses him a stack of new files on Bello.

"Sure," croaks Mike and starts reading up on his new assignment.

Fandoms: Hannibal, Rivers of London*

Warnings: None

*Unfamiliar with the latest of my random selections? Here have a wiki link: http://en.wikipedia...._London_(novel) They are an awesome set of books and I highly recommend them.

22 – Embarrassment - Hannibal, Freddie Lounds

With her head of bright red curls Freddie never truly blends into the background but she's learnt there's a time and a place to be unobtrusive.

She's one of the crowd as the body's wheeled out by the coroner when it starts. There's barely time for her to shove her smartphone back in her pocket and clasp a tissue to her face before she launches into a fully formed volley of sneezes.

They're quiet but persistent and after the sixth sneeze with barely a break to draw breath heads start to turn. She excuses herself, cheeks burning as red as her hair.

82 – Magic - Rivers of London, Gen, Nightingale, Peter Grant,

"Hold the forma in your mind," said Nightingale.

I started to shape it but it took real concentration to hold and the moment I felt it beginning to grow I realised I had a problem.

I tried to ignore the tickle but it was no good, my eyes slipped shut. "Ehh, Hehhh..." I felt the forma fall form my mind instantly and heard it shoot off and explode down the other end of the lab. "Hii-itschuhh!Ifschhh! Sorry!" I opened my eyes to a black burn mark on the far wall.

"No more magic till you're better," said Nightingale firmly.

42 – Poison - Rivers of London, Gen, Nightingale, Peter Grant

'It's chicken soup,' said Nightingale helpfully as I stared at the bowl of mystery liquid with unidentifiable lumps floating in it.

I started to answer then dived into a handful of tissues as a sneeze overtook me, "Tschhh!"

"Bless you. I think Molly thought it would help you err-"

"Hftschhh! Hehh- ehhftchh- uhh!"

"- feel better. Bless you."

"Thadks. Right." I picked up the spoon hesitantly. "You're not...?" I gestured at the soup.

Nightingale shook his head. "Molly's made that for me before. It's why I try my hardest not to get sick. Remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"

[evermissing]

AHHHH, how did I not know about all these Hannibal drabbles until now? This just made my night.

I love them all (seriously, twelve of them, it's like Christmas!), and I especially like how you managed to get so many different characters in there. (I may kind of have a Freddie thing. I mean, she's a jerk, but she's got some flair about it. ) But I think my favorites are "Mask," "Relief," "Heartless," "Chocolate," and "Mistake," especially:

--"She wishes he wasn't ringing to cancel their appointment; it would be interesting to see him when he was sick, to see if it would let the mask slip at all. She shivers." And Hannibal's congested voice.

--How well you capture Beverley's sympathetic but very, very blunt dynamic with Will.

--"Will's rounding out another sneezing fit, Jack's lost count of what number this is today." I don't even know why I like this so much, but just the idea of Jack covertly watching Will's suffering when it seems as though he doesn't notice... yeah.

--Okay, I just really like Alana, so I was thrilled to see "Chocolate."

--"Mistake" is what's fast becoming one of my favorite scenarios--sick Will trying and failing to get through a session with Hannibal. gnnnnnnfdgsfggd.

Hope to see more sometime!

[Bruyere]

Gosh, Evermissing thank you so much for the feedback! It makes me very happy I am completely in love with Alana so there will probably be more of her at some point. And I like your description of Freddy, spot on.

Fandoms: Hannibal, Elementary, Avengers, A Royal Affair*

Warnings: None

* A Royal Affair - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1276419/ Excellent film, beautifully shot. Also contains Mads Mikkelsen's very twitchy nose.

38 - Violent - Hannibal, Gen, Will

He sighs as lightning flashes outside. A few moments later the thunder rumbles long and loud. One of the dogs whines.

"Hey, it's okay," he levers himself up in bed and groans as that sets off another bout of sneezing. "Hehh'ktschh! Ehhhktschh! Ektchooo!" The third sneeze is lost to another loud burst of thunder which produces more whining from Winston. "Hey," he clicks his fingers and Winston scampers over to him. "Jusd for todight okay?" He pats the bed and Winston eagerly jumps up, burying his head against Will's side.

Will sneezes again and Winston snorts disapprovingly. "I know buddy."

71 – Floor - Elementary, Gen, Sherlock, Joan,

She's used to coming down in the mornings to find the floor covered in different things: papers, locks, maps with Clyde representing various vehicles. This morning Sherlock is sat in the middle of a pile of tissues, staring blearily at their latest case plastered across the walls.

"Bordig Watsod."

"You took my advice and got some rest last night?" She rolls her eyes and helps herself to coffee from the kitchen.

She surveys him: pale skin, red nose, shadows under his eyes but she can't see any sign of fever.

"Hehh, Etchumphh! Htcchmmphh!" Another tissue joins the pile.

"I'm not cleaning that up."

92 – Victory - Avengers, Clint, Natasha,

It becomes a tradition; they finish a mission, they go for dinner. It's part team-bonding, part practical, they're always starving anyway.

Clint watches as Natasha pushes food listlessly around her plate. She's never the life and soul of the party but he can't help but notice how quiet she is, not leaning across to whisper in his ear or mutter under her breath at something Tony's said. He wonders if the fight took more out of her than usual but no, he watches as she dips her head, stifles two sneezes into the crook of her elbow.

"Bless you," he mouths.

94 - Photo - Avengers, Steve, Natasha.

Trying to care for a sick Natasha is a bit like herding cats only it's an even more thankless task. She repeats she doesn't need looking after till she loses her voice. Clint decides he's going to sit this one out and all but dumps her on Steve's doorstep.

It's pointless trying to resist Steve's charm and she soon settles down on the couch. He provides soup and tissues and peace. They pass the evening looking through his sketch book and old photos. She's seen some of them from looking through his file but there's one that catches her eye.

35 – Breath - Avengers, Steve, Natasha,

Her breath catches and she can't quite believe what or who she's seeing. She coughs hard and she's grateful that it must cover any confusion she's showing. The tight ache across her chest isn't entirely from the face grinning back at her in the photo either.

"Natasha?"

"I'm fine," she chokes out forcing herself to convey it.

Steve's frowning and making noises about calling Bruce and taking her temperature again.

"Really, tell me more about these," she taps the photos and settles back against the couch.

"You'll tell me if you feel worse?" She nods. He smiles at the photo, "This is Bucky..."

93 – Weather - A Royal Affair, Dr Struensee, Caroline Mathilde,

She next sees Dr Struensee a few days after they've been riding.

"Your Majesty," he says, bowing. She frowns at the congestion in his voice and raises an eyebrow in question.

"I'm afraid your English weather didn't quite agree with... me... H'ehh H'excuse..." He turns away, freeing a handkerchief from his pocket. "He'ehh-kitschh! Hehtkchhh!"

"God bless you!"

"Excuse me." There's a blush on his cheeks. "I assure you it's nothing more than a cold."

"Good, I... The King needs you well."

"Of course."

"Perhaps when you're better we can go riding again?"

His smile is broad. "I would like that, your Majesty."

85 – Teacher

It amazed Will sometimes the amount of paperwork being a teacher at Quantico could generate. He swore it was worse than being a cop. He tapped on Alana's door. "You needed me to sign something for you?"

"Come in," she replied, though it lacked her usual enthusiasm. "Sorry it's so hot, A.C.s out and that's," she gestured to an open window, "not helping." She paused then sneezed rapidly. "Huhh-H'xkst! Hkstchh! Hgkst!"

"Gesundheit."

"Sorry, it's jusd allergies, hehh-chht! Huh, huh-uhhuhh..." She gasped then groaned, wiping her eyes then nose with a kleenex. "I thidk id's worse whed I'b dot sdeezig."

65 – Similarities

He signed the papers she gave him, blessing her awkwardly each time she sneezed. More often than not they'd disappear leaving her frustrated instead.

"Sorry, there's one more somewhere. Hang ohhh, hehhh, heh ,heh-" She twisted away from him panting desperately but it failed to materialize.

Will made a discreet swipe at his own nose as Alana sighed and tried to locate the last document. He glanced up as her breath hitched again but nothing came of it. Unfortunately his own nose started tickling. "Heh-kmpph!" He sneezed.

"Bless you!" said Alana, "Allergies?"

"No, it's um, sometimes when other people, um..."

Alana blushed. "Sorry."

Awe that was quite cute (: do update with drabbles

[MusicaDiabolos]

Oh my goodness the second one!! I already adore the idea of Will's unconscious mimicry, so to add sneezing to that is a stroke of adorable genius

[evermissing]

1. YAY ALANA! I love her in the show and in this, and I feel so bad for her here. But not THAT bad.

2. Pretty much exactly what MusicaDiabolos said. Stroke of genius.

"No, it's um, sometimes when other people, um..."

Alana blushed. "Sorry."

*dies and is dead* Seriously. Seriously. I want this on the show, like, yesterday.

[Bruyere]

@DeathNoteOwner - Thank you!

@MusicaDiablos - Thank you! I was worried it was a bit too on the nose(!) but I couldn't resist.

@Evermissing - Thank you! I soooo want to see it on the show. And glad to see another Alana fan around.

63 – Control, Hannibal, Gen Hannibal, Bedelia,

Umm, this got away from me slightly and I couldn't get it down to 100 words but at least it's a nice round number at 250! Follows on from 24 - Mask

She can see shadows under his eyes, a pink tinge to his nose but mostly it's his voice, consonants flatter than usual and his vowels heavily coated with his accent today. "You're feeling better Hannibal?"

"Indeed," he replies with a nod.

They start their usual back and forth, Hannibal allowing her the usual guarded window into his world.

He's talking about Will when he stops abruptly. Her eyes narrow as he reaches for, no, grabs, a handkerchief from his suit pocket. Not the silk one from his breast pocket, a more practical white cotton one. He manages a breathy half, "Excuuu-" his jaw tight and his lips curling in displeasure.

Bedelia inclines her head graciously as though he were actually asking her permission. They both wait as he pants before expelling a forceful "Hehh, hehherrschuhh!"

Bedelia never usually fidgets; she's a perfect mirror of Hannibal. She goes to bless him but he remains curled into the handkerchief, his jaw clenched in annoyance and his nose twitching with irritation. It's probably the most spontaneous and natural reaction she's ever seen from Hannibal as he inhales again with no small amount of urgency.

She uncrosses, recrosses her legs, smooths an imaginary wrinkle from her skirt.

"Hehh, hehh, hrischuhh!"

"Gesundheit, Hannibal." Her voice is remarkably calm and even, though she probably benefits from Hannibal's distraction as he blows his nose, softly murmuring apologies as he does so.

He gives his nose one last wrinkle and wipe with the handkerchief before pocketing it again.

Fandoms: Graceland, Iron Man 3, The Mindy Project, Pacific Rim, Hannibal

Warnings: Vaguely spoiler-y for 1.8-1.9 Graceland & Iron Man 3

4 - Fake, Graceland, Gen, Briggs, Mike

Set after 1.8 Bag man

It's not difficult to convince them he's sick. He looks unwell and he's sweating a little so he lets them add 2 + 2 and come up with 5.

Mike even brings him chicken soup. "Don't worry," he says with a smile. "Johnny didn't make it."

Briggs grimaces as he sits up in bed and hopes that Mike takes that as a reflection on Johnny's cooking.

"Maybe we should call a doctor, you don't look so good."

Briggs dismisses that with a wave of his hand. "I'll be fine." He takes a small spoonful of the soup.

Mike nods. "Okay."

76 – Lullaby - Iron Man 3 (post movie), Pepper/Tony

He's still twitchy at night, it's as difficult as it's ever been for him to switch off even with Pepper instilling a night time routine. Tonight he he hits the sack early anyway, tired and achy.

"You okay?" Pepper asks when she joins him. "You feel warmer than usual."

" 'M fine. It's just a - huhhrfshhh! Ihhrrffshh! " He snaps his head away from her.

"Bless." She pulls him close and he concentrates on her breathing, the rustle of paper as she reads her book. It's not quite a lullaby but it'll do, he thinks as he closes his eyes.

64 – Unfair - The Mindy Project, Danny, Mindy

"But it's not fair, I had a- hetchoo! hetchoo! -flu shot."

"Oh my God, Danny. Stop whining. You have a cold. Go home and come back in three days. We don't want your germs here!" said Mindy.

"But I sanitise my hands all the time and I don't-" He broke off, sneezing into his elbow. "Heh-djshhh!"

"Okay, that's gross, use these," she said passing the box of kleenex on his desk. "And take these." She handed him the DayQuil capsules she'd been giving out like candy to staff all day.

"Thanks Min," he said. She smiled at his garbled nickname for her.

"You're welcome."

43 – Contagion, Pacific rim, Raleigh/Mako

It's well known that when one Jaeger pilot sneezes in the morning by the end of the day their partner will aslo have caught cold.

Raleigh does his best to avoid Mako but it's pointless when they spend all day, every day together anyway. He gives in with a miserable sigh and knocks on her door. "I don't want to get you sick."

She rolls her eyes then directs him to her bunk. He curls up with his head in her lap and sneezes into his shoulder. "Hkshh! Etschshh! Urgh, sorry."

"Bless you."

"You okay?"

She shrugs. "Just a headache so far."

39 – Muffle, Hannibal, Gen, Hannibal

Hannibal stares at the thinly sliced lemon as the boiling water swells the flesh. The air should be tinted with its delicate citrus scent and the honey he's just spooned in should add a sweet richness but if it does it's lost on him. It's easily the worst part of any cold or flu for him, the impairment to his sense of smell.

It brings a stillness to his world, like the muffled silence after winter's first snow.

He sighs; this is just a cold and will pass in another day or two. Patience, he reflects, is one of his virtues.

[SpookyScarySkeleton]

Awesome! :3 Im glad you write.
