Whumptober Day 15, 20 & 21

[feckyeslife]

Hands up, who is surprised that we are not 2/3rds of the way through the month? I honestly did not think I would get this far into the challenge, but I am feeling really good about it! I'm looking at that Completionist title just over the horizon...

Also realized that I never included links from one other day earlier this month so that has been included as well!

Title: Patchwork
Rating: T
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean
Pairing/Characters: Jack Sparrow & Elizabeth Swann
Critical Tags: Injuries, Stitches
Summary: Washed up and in trouble, Jack has to take care of Elizabeth.
Excerpt:

Atop the roiling waves, the lifeboat rocked and seized as its passengers rowed furiously. Their tiny lantern cast its light in a feeble ray. It hardly mattered for how the rain beat down. In fact, to evade their pursuers it would have been better to extinguish it altogether. But Jack and Elizabeth had greater concerns than the little glass box.

They needed to find shelter and quickly. Though Elizabeth's clever tongue had gotten them free from the brig and Jack's experience had told them to sabotage the other small craft before launching theirs, the process had not been entirely painless. Elizabeth huddled at the nose of the craft, her eyes on the horizon and her hand pressing tightly against her other limp arm.

"Take us further port," she shouted hoarsely. "I can see rocks ahead. There may be a shoreline past there."

"Or our death," Jack retorted, but he obliged and threw their boat through the next cresting wave to their new heading.

Title: Aches and Pains
Rating: T
Fandom: Black Widow, Winter Soldier
Pairing/Characters: James "Bucky" Barnes/Natasha Romanov
Critical Tags: Slice of Life, Bucky Barnes has Chronic Pain
Summary: Most days are alright but not great when living with chronic pain. Today was not one of them.
Excerpt:

From the moment that sleep slipped away from him, James knew this was not going to be a good day. Next to him in the bed, Natasha was already awake and sipping at her coffee while she tapped away on her laptop. He rolled over and pressed his face into her hip, trying to draw strength from her.

She didn't say anything. Her tapping paused as she transferred her mug to the side table with a soft tap of ceramic on wood. Then her hand, warmed from the coffee, settled comfortably on his head. Her fingers threaded slowly through his hair.

Title: Don't Lose Your Head
Rating: T
Fandom: Among Us
Pairing/Characters: White
Critical Tags: Canon-Typical Violence, Posession
Summary: Something gets into White's suit. It'll probably be fine, right?
Excerpt:

White found herself hunched over her knees in the hallway on her way to the reactor, trying just to breathe without dry heaving. She was sweating, too. Something was definitely wrong. The corners of her eyes danced with movement, even when she was alone.

“What is wrong with me?” White whimpered. The absolute worst thing would be if she vomited inside of the suit.

Hobbling one footstep at a time, White pointed herself towards Medical.
