Summary
A light tugging sensation on his apron brings Sprout out of his thoughts. He twists his upper half to make eye contact with a very nervous-looking kid, and his heart worriedly skips a beat.
“What—?”
Before he can even ask his question, the kid interrupts with a surprisingly flat tone, “Sprout? I think Cosmo is, um… choking?”
-
sprout learns an interesting lesson about what "care" can look like when his best friend gets sick. set pre-ichor operation, when the show is still airing. also pre-official fruitcake confession, but the feels are definitely there. sfw across the board!

- Part 2 of adventures with fruitcake (DW)

Summary
sprout has always valued appearance. after all, a leader is supposed to be someone looked up to. someone who never falters. never slows down. never shows vulnerability.
then, he missteps - and learns very quickly how eager and willing his fellow toons are to provide help to someone who spends so much time and energy doing the same for others.
-
part 1 of a 2 part installment in which sprout is humbled by cosmo's enthusiasm regarding taking care of him. 100% vanilla/sfw here.

Summary
alvin was never exactly given an instruction manual on how to cope with growing up alongside a chronically ill family member. for forever, avoiding the obvious post-traumatic symptoms was easy. then he fell in love.

Summary
alternate title - how’d we get here now?
despite being in the middle of an ethereal crisis, sunny agrees to come on a camping trip with her friends.
unfortunately, her attempt at a harmless prank to loosen up the tension backfires… but they can still carry out their plans, right?
including sunny, who may find herself pleasantly surprised when she realizes she’s found her next admin partner… a world can’t be ruled by itself, after all.

or, in other words, someone realizes they’re not as straight as they think they are, and sunny suffers from ethereal exhaustion.Series

Summary
Finn doesn’t show up to breakfast, and Shrimpo discovers him sick and bedridden! Normally he wouldn’t have the urge to make toons feel better, but Finn was different, and Shrimpo was the best at everything, even taking care of sick toons!
Or: Ragebait / Shrimpbowl sickfic with Finn as the sick one and Shrimpo as the one taking care of him (albeit reluctantly)!

Summary
Since the day they met, Maya and Franziska have been nervously hovering near one another, dancing around a connection they just can’t seem to make. An off-kilter sick day spent binge-watching Pink Princess changes all of that, as Franziska finds herself thrust into the strange new world of fandom and fanfiction with Maya as her enthusiastic guide.
A metafiction-y love letter of a story about the two of them slowly falling for each other—all they will say, all they will not say, and the catharsis and perils of escapism through fandom.

Summary
The farmer turns her body to face him fully, eyes warm as they look up at him, and for a moment, Sam thinks: this is it. She’s going to kiss me.
He closes his eyes in preparation, attributing the dizziness now to infatuation as he feels her body inch closer, the hand on his waist tightening as she perks up on the tips of her toes.
Her lips are soft and cold from the weather outside as they make contact—with his forehead.
Sam is having trouble taking care of a sick Vincent. Farmer girlfriend to the rescue.

Summary
Matilda knew she didn’t have the strongest immune system. She hadn’t seen a doctor until she was five, since her parents had simply forgotten she’d be in need of healthcare. She hadn’t had any vaccines, and she’d had no other children to play with and build up any sort of immunity that way.
It was really only a matter of time before she got sick. But this? This is worse than anyone could’ve imagined.
