Omg!! I've been having a pretty awful day and knowing someone used one of my prompts just made my whole day 🩷 This might just be the thing to get me into CM!

Something is Wrong

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x reader

Category: One-shot

Notes: Based on this prompt by @whumpprentice

Warnings: Gunshot wound

You thought maybe it would hurt, being shot in the chest point blank. That the pain would blossom just like blood would blossom through your shirt. But instead you felt numb shock wash over you, staring up at the ceiling as chaos whirled around you at a distance. The gunshots that followed sounded like dim popping in your ears. Your vision began to blur and you blinked, something in the back of your mind telling you that you need to stay awake. Shouting. Someone was shouting your name.

Then Aaron Hotchner came into focus. "Hey, hey, look at me," he said, taking your face in his hands. "Stay with me, okay? You're gonna be fine, just stay with me."

You blink as your vision continues to blur. "H-Hotch,"

"Shh, you're okay, it's okay,"

You've never heard him sound so gentle and reassuring before. You begin to breathe faster. "What happened? What's going on?"

"It's nothing, you're going to be fine," Hotchner's hands kept you from looking down at your chest. "Just listen to my voice."

"Oh shit, oh shit," something was wrong, he wouldn't sound so gentle unless something was wrong.

And then the shock began to wear off and your body tensed, the pain etched along your face. Your mouth opens, the beginning of a groan crawling up your throat.

"You're okay, you're okay," helplessness flickered in his eyes as he saw the panic and pain rising in your eyes. He kept his voice calm and even as your gasping turned into groaning. And the groaning turned into screams.

snzblr mutuals on the mind today <3

The goverment won't tell you this, but if you're scared of leaving a comment under a fic because you're embarassed (because it's fanfiction for a disney movie or because it's an x reader fic or because you don't feel confident in the language yet or any other reason), you can always make an account with fake persona... obviously you are probably not using your real name anyways, but you can make new username, different from your "regular"/"official" one.

Nobody will know it was you.

“Why am I lying down?”

“Because you’re bleeding.”

“I can bleed sitting up.”

“I’m trying to prevent you from going into shock.”

“I don’t think it’s working.”

“I know. Shut up.”

[whumpprentice]

when the character makes the most pathetic, heartbreaking sound after being disturbed - they got moved and it made their injury hurt, or maybe they're just so exhausted and they're trying to communicate "please let me rest" - yeah. yeah. more of that.

THIS IS EVIL I LOVE IT

This or that: sickfic tropes I enjoy edition

Fever nightmares or fever confessions / angry about being sick or in denial about it / craving physical touch when sick or rejecting it. / Delirium or passing out / cold compress or ice bath / persistent cough or sore throat / multiple caretakers or multiple sick characters / hand to forehead or mouth thermometer / "You're burning up" or "Are you okay?" / Dizziness or pale face / overheating or hypothermia / sick at a formal event or sick during important activity / enemy caretaker or crush caretaker / caught in the rain or caught in a blizzard

I WOULD DIE FOR HER

I am sending a message to inquire cautiously about this dog of yours you mentioned??

Ah. Beastie MacStomachOnLegs...

Her real name is Laurel and she is, unsurprisingly, a Labrador retriever. We got professional studio photos of our family done once and the ones of her turned out, well, better than expected given that she went absolutely bonkers over a rubber chicken, flipped her water all over the floor, and generally nearly trashed the studio and refused to stand anywhere near us for a photo

She is terrified of everything including wind and rain and waves and nail clipping but she has no self-preservation whatsoever. But she loves the vet (they have snacks). The vet looked us gently but firmly in the eye when she was one year old and said 'you need to get pet insurance or this dog is going to cost you a lot of money' (the vet was very right). She has one (1) instinct and that is to Eat. There are two other instincts present (drag dead birds out of the bushes and swim) but eating things usually surpasses both of those. She can be outside and fast asleep but the second she hears you put a cutting board down on the counter, she is sitting at your feet, staring.

A selection of things she has eaten and shouldn't have:

The ear and part of the tail of soapstone panther statue (she was a tiny puppy then too and smaller than the panther)

Far too much river grass which probably would be fine in moderation but moderation is not a word she knows

Pieces of coyote skull lying by the side of the road

So. Much. Goose. Poop.

And entire dead blue jay that came back up intact and identifiable

Shards of broken plastic

Shards of broken plates

Large bites of a toboggan

An entire shirt (and the usual several socks, underwear, toques, etc)

Large chunks of most of her toys

Pieces of a child's boot that she took off said child's foot (related to the aforementioned toboggan incident) as well as various other footwear

Parts of her beds

Parts of the couch

Not eaten but she went through a sticking her tongue in electrical outlets phase

She has somehow yet to have a major medical incident as a result of any of this. The worst she has gotten is eye infections which we assume are the result of the dead birds (yes, I are aware of bird flu. Unfortunately she weighs about as much as me and is very quick about darting over to grab the dead bird before I even notice it. Working on that).

I've tried training her to do some tricks and she knows a few (circle, paw, double paw) but in general she is too stupid. She is a retriever who doesn't retrieve unless she's in water (luckily she lives on a riverbank)

In her natural habitat:

Generally doing things the hard way:

Me vs my whumpeesona!! This was so much fun

can we start a picrew chain... i wanna see everyone's picrews... make yourself or make an oc of yours or anything. it's so cool

Sore throats

When it starts out as a subtle tickle at the back of their throat and their heart sinks because they just know

Throats too sore to swallow

Coughs paired with sore throats, each fit is more painful than the last

When the pain spreads back into their ears and swallowing or talking makes it all hurt so much they can't tell where the pain is coming from anymore

Likewise, that weird ache you get under your jaw that comes with it that reaches to the spots under your ears

Losing their voice

Paired with a fever. Why is their throat so hot?

you get the idea

[whumpprentice]

Ok ok ok but art dumps and fixating aside... Silly writing talk rq. You can have your "hiding injuries/illness" or "didn't realize they're injured or ill" type things where the Stubborn People dont crack because that's tasty. I get that. But what's even tastier (imo) is when the Stubborn Person *voluntarily* asks for help because it is that bad/they're that afraid of the situation... Or trying to actually show some trust to the person involved. "Didn't wanna worry you" yeah, ok, but what about the vulnerability of "I can't do this by myself."

thinking about eccentric mad scientist caretakers again

[whumpprentice]

Seeing posts against generative AI in writing and the comments like "Yeah!! I only use it for-" STOOOOPP THIS IS ABOUT YOU CAN YOU NOT SEE

[whumpprentice]

A thought : someone jokingly checking for a fever after a character says something unlike themself, horrified to find they actually ARE burning up

[whumpprentice]

when you go into the sickfic tag and you see a fic titled “Sick” and you know its about to be basic as hell but youre thirsty and this will just have to do

[whumpprentice]

Something about a usually incredibly well put together character showing a crack in their polished facade. dark circles uncovered or too dark to properly be covered. less than perfect hair. a wrinkle in their usually pristine clothes. that one little giveaway something is very, very wrong.

[whumpprentice]

I love it when the caretaker accidentally triggers the whumpee and the whumpee panics and cries and the caretaker feels horrible after.

Bonus points if the caretaker feels like they shouldn’t be allowed around the whumpee again and it creates a big misunderstanding.

[whumpprentice]

For your consideration: a poison that's meant to extract a confession that doesn't quite kill the recipient but keeps worsening their symptoms until they finally yield

Just. Slowly building agony cracking their defiance from the inside out
