it's like a weird yet appropriate joke in context
I apparently have a cough and a fever (but no congestion, which is good except I am afraid because where is it, then?), which has sent my health paranoia into overdrive. To quote ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
amireal:
seperis: I have a cough but no congestion and a fever.
amireal: I understand.
seperis: I am disconcerted.
amireal: probably a mild virus
seperis: I'm supposed to be writing toppyMerlin.
amireal: not everyone gets sick and then immediately needs the hospital
amireal: you are just special like that
Which is, you know, depressingly true. Also, the last time I went to Chicago and saw snow was also the reason two or three weeks later I had multiple doctors marveling over my x-rays and getting up close and personal with oxygen nose things and developed a delightful sensitivity to latex. However, let me point out, I still finished my remix while feverish and I forever feel I get huge points for writing a remix while vaguely hallucinating and clinging to an inhaler.
(And let me say, healing up the latex--thing--was a bitch. The remix was pretty good. I read it later and was really impressed how I kept like, sentence structure and all.)
Of course,svmadelyn was much more sensitive:
seperis: I have a fever.
seperis: This is not of the good, yeah?
svmadelyn: dawww.
svmadelyn: chicago vs. jenn
svmadelyn: chicago: 1; jenn: 0
seperis: Chicago - 2.
seperis: I picked up my second bout of pneumonia there in 2007.
seperis: Ami says normal people get fevers and don't need to go to the hospital.
seperis: *bewildered*
svmadelyn: this is true!
I feel loved.
Well, mostly, I feel no longer a vibe for writing porn, but an unbearable urge to write a long, long, long h/c where Arthur has a fever and Merlin takes care of him with like, ten pages of nothing but cuddling under blankets and drinking mulled wine and burrowing for warmth. Wow, that's not transparent at all, is it?
...or perhaps one where a terrible plague hits Camelot and Merlin is locked up in Arthur's quarters while Uther is out of the city and Arthur is left as regent and they burn the dead in the streets. Oh please. Like no one saw that coming.
*curls up* No congestion. We will go with that.

*g*
Being unable to run around does have its advantages, I have been WRITING in the mornings when I get to the library. Poor Arthur, feeling isolated, and Merlin doesn't know how to FIX THIS.
Oh, boys.
*stares at fic* Er. Did you want the whole thing again with additions? I will send it along later this afternoon. *g* At this rate there is going to be huddling...for purposes that are only therapeutic and have nothing to do with...emo.

To be perfectly honest, I'm sure that I'd love either one of these, but I feel like the second would probably end up hot like burning. ...In case you were interested in opinions.

From:I would love to read sick cuddly emoporn. In fact, emoporn is my new favorite word. I would also love to read the one where they burn the dead in the streets, but let's save that for a rainy day, yeah?
No congestion is of the good. It's probably your body being all shocky because you subjected it to different climates too rapidly--as my mom would day, take an antihistamine (which she prescribes for everything from headache to broken-bone-style stabbing pains) and drink lots and lots of liquids and stay very warm and covered. The cough may be from post-nasal drip, which will not feel like chest congestion but will still make your throat feel scratchy and make you cough. Possibly try a hot toddy*, which--even if it doesn't actually cure you--at least makes you very very oblivious to how bad you actually feel. [grins]
Looked for you on AIM, but didn't see you. [hugs tight] Hope you feel better soon, honey.
* My mom's hot toddy: boiling water, brandy, and honey in your preferred proportions. The hot water warms you up, the honey soothes your throat, and the brandy goes straight to your head. Very effective, especially if you do not have to operate heavy machinery.

From:It's a truly amazing thing. And really, it's *good* for you--the hot water is good to keep you hydrated and warm and the honey has, er, antibacterial properties, yeah, that's it, and the brandy, the brandy kills everything it touches on the way down and it just *slides* down your throat and burns in your stomach and makes you feel warm and happy.
And then you fall over. And smile at the ceiling for a couple hours. [grins]
