    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    How Grace finally gets back into a classroom, where he belongs

    Summary

    Sicktember Day 25- Medicine

    An older lady from his apartment building calls it in- she came back to collect a bowl he'd borrowed from her, and when she opened the door, he was on the floor. Unresponsive. Still in his sleepwear. The whole thing seems vaguely fantastical to Mark until the ambulance arrives, and from it emerges Carter, strapped to a gurney, completely and utterly… gone. 

    OR

    Carter is accidentally poisoned.

    Summary

    “You did spend all night out in the rain without a coat,” Lucy volunteers, which earns a glare from Carter aimed in her direction.

    “Lucy, that’s a wives’ tale and you should know that. You don’t get sick from the rain.”

    “No,” Dr. Greene interjects, “but you are a sleep-deprived resident who spent your day off running yourself ragged on the streets of Chicago instead of sleeping. Which, while noble, probably didn’t do your immune system any favors.”

    set post s5e08 "The Good Fight" in which, after a night running around in the rain looking for Keith Nelson, Carter gets sick, Lucy looks after him, and everyone learns the difference between wants and needs.

    Summary

    Sicktember Day 20- Fever Nightmares

    His lips move incoherently. Every so often, however, they form the shape of a name. 

    Lucy. 

    Luka’s stomach roils slightly at the sudden remembrance of trauma rooms, blood, alarms screeching. The way one of the nurses stood when Carter was wheeled out to surgery, staring blankly down at gloved hands, tears in her eyes. 

    OR

    John falls sick a day before they're supposed to leave the Congo, because of course he does.
