Hi there,
I recently read the (thoroughly enjoyable) fic
"Happy Thoughts" by Janissa11/EB, and would like to read similar fic showing Sam, Dean, or (best) Castiel impatiently going through routine medical situations - physicals, checkups, minor injuries/sickness, etc. Bonus points for minor indignities (needles in the rear, hospital gown mishaps).
The picture I have in my head is something like 'Sam bullies Dean into going for regular physicals, b/c
we're not getting any younger, and just because we fight the supernatural doesn't make us immune to atherosclerosis, and Dean, who's never had a thorough physical as an adult, is highly uncomfortable with the whole thing.' or 'newly fallen/falling Castiel suffers through his first medical appointment and does not earn a lollipop'. I don't know if a story of such exact plot exists, but mainly I'm just looking for something kind of in that general area. :)
Preferably, it would be mainly light-hearted, with lots of brotherly teasing and sarcasm, but if the story moves into more serious territory that's okay too. Also, if the fic's focus is a larger plot, but there are some good scenes that fit the description, I'd love to hear about them too. I'm looking through the various Affliction! tags as I'm sure there are many great recs in there, but it's hard to know where to start, given that I'm currently thinking of either check-ups or minor issues rather than a specific larger condition or major injury being the focus of the story (though, again, I don't mind recs of that kind for good fic!).
I am specifically searching for gen, but would accept non-incestuous, light slash or het (eg Destiel) for stories where sex and physical intimacy doesn't play a big role in the story. Please do not rec incest or explicit slash. Also, I prefer no RPF.
Other than the pairings/no-RPF, I am open to almost anything - case fics, wee!chesters,crossovers, kid!fic, AUs, etc.
Thanks in advance!!
Mods: I'm brand new to LJ and have tagged as best I could, but would welcome pointers or additional tags if you find them appropriate. I found that lots of tags matched what I would like to see, but few were absolute must-haves, and I don't want to limit the pool. Thanks for such a great, well-run site.
