Alt: If one of these songs doesn’t work for you, pick any song you like that has lyrics and use it as your prompt instead!
A big thank you to everyone who sent in suggestions, but unfortunately I couldn’t use all of them.
When the event is actually running, I will post each day's prompt with the lyrics and a link or two to the song on youtube/spotify/etc. But here is the basic list of them all!
CWs: Some of the songs contain swearing, some dark topics, a suggestive line

The silvery light of the glowing noose illuminated the tears running down Ylen’s cheeks from below. He rushed to grab hold of the rope of light, and reeled back with burned hands.
“Alixor.” Ylen gasped. “Alix, what are you doing?”
“You did this.” Alixor sat down heavily in the dewy grass, panting and sweating as though he had just run miles. The spell had taken almost all of his energy. “You did this.” He gasped. “When you refused to help me.”
“What?”
Ylen fell to his hands and knees. His eyes were wide and stared into Alix’s face.
Alixor looked down to the ground, averting his eyes from Ylen’s stricken look.
“You refused to help me.” He said again, much quieter than before.
“Alix, I-”
Alixor pounded his fist into the wet grass. “You won’t help me!” He screamed. Alixor looked to Ylen again. Braved the terrified eyes. “You won’t help my people!”
A beat.
Ylen’s face softens.
But instead of looking scared, Ylen just looks sad.
“I will not kill for you. That is what you mean.”
Alixor shook his head. No, Ylen can not change this. Ylen is wrong.
Ylen continued, voice becoming stronger, the furrows of rage in his face becoming deep in the silver light shed by the noose around his neck.
“I will not use my power to kill.” Ylen said.
Alixor shook his head again, feeling tears pouring from his eyes. “You won’t help me.” He sobbed. “I need help.”
“I am not your weapon. I am your friend.”
“We are not friends. Not anymore.”
Ylen fell silent at this. With shaking hands, Alixor pulled out the rest of his supplies from his bag. When he set the ornate knife on the rock, it rang out softly against the stone. Ylen started and stared at the weapon. But he asked no more questions.
Ylen remained quiet as Alixor finished the spell and bound his hands and feet to the ground, spread-eagle.
Ylen said not a word when Alixor picked up the knife and crouched over Ylen’s body.
He only looked at Alixor. Studying him. Eyes shimmering with the light from the luminous ropes.
“I’m sorry.” Alixor sobbed.
“No.” Ylen smiled. “You are not.”
Alixor plunged the knife into Ylen’s belly and began to carve. Ylen screamed and struggled, but the shining ropes held him fast to the ground. Alixor’s vision was blurred by tears. He continued to cut and cut, laying Ylen’s body open to the air. Exposing every facet of the god’s existence. When Alixor finally found Ylen’s heart, the ground was soggy with blood.
The crimson organ beat wildly in the god’s chest, cradled in a nest of blood and bone and sinew. It was hot. Burning. It almost smoldered.
“Please.” Ylen wheezed.
Ylen had watched Alixor’s every move. Almost like he was committing this atrocity to a memory that would soon be gone.
Alixor wished Ylen would screw up his eyes and just scream. Rather than this. Rather than pleading with him. Anything but this.
“Please.” Ylen repeated. “Please kill me.”
Alixor set down his knife, now slippery with viscera.
“Please don’t use my power for this.”
Alixor had long ago run out of tears. He was feverish and thirsty at this point. Dizzy with the heat of Ylen’s burning body. Who would have thought a god of wildfire would boil on the inside? Alixor braced himself and reached for Ylen’s heart with his bare hand. He wasn’t thinking. He wasn’t lucid. The cold night spun about him and he gasped for breath.
The heart seared his flesh. Alixor cried out but did not let go. He pulled and tore and wrenched and ripped and twisted. The heart came free. Alixor slumped down on the ground, clutching at his scorched hand. The heart flopped onto the grass and continued to beat.
“Please.” Ylen continued to whisper.
Alixor sobbed, great heaving sobs that nearly choked him. He vomited bile. Then lay there for a long time trying to catch his breath.
“Please don’t use me to kill.”
Alixor, laying on his side, watched the heart continue to beat. It steamed in the cold night air. His hand throbbed. He had to do this. This was the only way. He had to save his people. This would give him the power to save everyone. Alixor reached for the heart again with his blistered hand.
“Please.”
Alixor’s mouth was scalded when he took the first bite of flesh. It hurt even more when he swallowed down the second. Agony bloomed in his stomach. He was on fire, from the inside out. Still, he ate.
Ylen watched him. “Please.”
Alixor kept eating.

Rex did it without even thinking.
He saw the farmer raise his rifle. Saw the finger tremble. Stockton flinched.
The crack of the gun.
Rex just didn’t think.
He just wanted to protect Stockton, his friend.
Rex raised his hand and pulled the bullet away from Stockton’s head. It flew past his friend and slammed straight into Rex’s guts. A blinding punch of paralyzing pain.
Yeah, he hadn’t really had the time to stop that too. Oh well.
Rex heard the wind leave his lungs and he crumpled to the ground. Honestly, the ground was just much more comfortable. The sun was at high noon so he closed his eyes against it, his eyelids red with its heat.
Someone was shouting. Probably Burden.
They had approached the homestead as carefully as possible. They needed some supplies and were willing to barter with the farmer. But the guy was scared. Rex couldn’t blame him. Bandits were everywhere. And they didn’t really look trustworthy to begin with.
So when Stockton and his big mouth had said something just the tiniest bit sassy, the farmer got a little more nervous than the situation really called for. Rex had tried to talk him down. So did Burden. But of course, Burden wasn’t a people-person. So Burden had made it worse.
Stockton had taken a step closer to the property line. And that was it. The farmer fired.
Thank god he only fired once. Rex didn’t think he could curve another bullet today. His belly hurt too much, every breath he took it felt like someone was digging a shard of glass into his intestines.
“My fucking ear!” Stockton was wailing.
Rex cracked his eyes when a shadow fell over him. It was Burden.
“Hey.” Rex whispered. “Stockton okay?”
“He’s being a little bitch.” Burden’s eyes looked Rex up and down.
Rex felt a crushing pressure on his wound and a soft keening wail escaped his lips.
“Sorry.” Burden was pale. Eyes wide. Burden was scared. When had Burden ever been scared? “I’m sorry but I gotta put pressure on it.”
Rex nodded.
Someone said something. Burden turned away, shouting an answer. “The moron fucking moved it. You’ve seen him move things before. He moved the fucking bullet! Happy?”
Rex closed his eyes again against the bright sun. It was a hot day. Why was he so cold?
“Okay, we’re going. Get ready.” Burden had turned back and murmured into Rex’s ear.
Rex nodded. He braced himself.
It wasn’t enough.
Burden’s strong arms slipped behind Rex’s shoulders and under his knees. As soon as he was lifted from the dusty ground, Rex screamed. Everything went quiet. His ears rang.
When Rex opened his eyes again, his head was turned upward. He saw the sun and sky disappear, replaced by the roof of a porch and then a doorway. The cool darkness of a home. He heard Stockton’s voice and the soft sobs of someone else. Stockton was explaining something.
“I’ve got you, Rex.” Burden said softly and Rex felt it. He felt the vibrations of Burden’s words through his chest.
Rex leaned his head against Burden’s shoulder and just tried to breathe through the pain.
“Where can I put him? There a table somewhere?” Burden shouted.
“In here!”
Rex heard a sweep and the sound of many things hitting the floor. He angled his head downward and saw dozens of chess pieces rolling across the hardwood floor. And then he was laid out on a table, hard and shuddering beneath him.
Rex eyed the dusty light fixture above him.
Burden came into view again.
“Hey.” Rex whispered.
Burden tried to smile. “Hey.”
“Stockton okay?” He asked again.
“He’s still a little bitch, but he’s an alive bitch.” Burden sighed. “Pressure again.”
Blinding pain in his gut and Rex’s ears began to ring. Tears slid from his eyes and trailed down his cheeks and into his ears.
“Ow.” Rex said softly.
Stockton came into view, covered in blood.
Rex reached out and grabbed Stockton’s arm. “You’re hurt.”
“Just my ear.” Stockton turned to show Rex a bloody, dark wound on his ear. A chunk of cartilage was just missing.
“Too bad it wasn’t your mouth.” Burden grumbled.
“Mister, I am so sorry.” The farmer’s tear-stained face came into view. “I’ve never shot anyone before, it’s just some people have been showing up lately and-”
“It’s okay.” Rex tried to speak around the pain. He swallowed hard. “It’s okay, what’s your name?”
“Oh, Ed.” The farmer named Ed wiped his eyes on a handkerchief. “Eddie Lang.”
Rex held out a hand to Ed, only just now noticed his own fingers were covered in blood. “Nice to meet you Mr. Lang. I’m Rex. These are my friends Burden Chatham and Stockton T. Hunt.”
Ed Lang hesitated a moment then took Rex’s hand warmly. “Just Ed is fine. It’s nice to meet you. I am so so sorry I shot you, Mr. Rex.”
“Not a bother, Ed.” Rex’s eyes were drawn to a fallen castle chess piece on the table beside him. “I’m sorry we interrupted your chess game.”
Ed sniffed and smiled a little. “Oh, I was just playing against myself. It passes the time.”
“I haven’t had a good game of chess in years.” Rex wheezed.
“Alright.” Burden growled. “Enough. Mr. Lang- Ed, got any medical supplies? Better yet, there a doctor nearby?”
“Next farm over.” Ed answered. “Checked in with her a week ago, she takes supplies and pills as payment for services.”
“We can make that work.” Burden’s hand left Rex’s wound. “Stockton, pressure.”
“Right, yes, sorry.” Stockton winced when he looked at the damage to Rex’s guts. He went pale and then green.
“Don’t throw up on me.” Rex begged. “Please.”
“I won’t.” Stockton reassured him. “It’s the least I can do for my savior.” Rex rolled his eyes. “Sorry about your ear.”
“Don’t worry about it. Gives me character.” Stockton grinned.
Rex smiled.
Burden reappeared, speaking to Stockton. “We’re going to get the doctor. Ed says to watch his aunt. Thirty minutes tops.”
Burden leaned close to Rex, putting a hand to Rex’s cheek. His fingers were rough and warm. “Can you hang on thirty minutes?” Burden murmured.
Rex nodded, looking into Burden’s eyes, the only kind and soft part of Burden.
Burden nodded too. Then disappeared.
The house fell silent.
Stockton frowned. “What aunt?”
“Me.” Came a soft voice from across the room.
Stockton screamed, jostling his hand against Rex’s wound. So Rex screamed.
Stockton whirled around and Rex turned his head as best as he could.
There sat a wizened old lady, perched in an armchair with a tv tray in front of her. Several playing cards were laid out on the tray in a pattern.
“Pardon us, ma’am.” Rex nodded as best as he could considering the angle. “I would stand and introduce myself but-”
“You may have heard, I’m Stockton, this is Rex.” Stockton cut in. “Have you been sitting there the whole time.”
“The whole time.” Ed’s aunt repeated. “I’m Hazel Lang.” Her wrinkled mouth twisted into a smile. “I’m surprised Ed shot you.” She looked to Rex.
“Me too.” Rex grunted.
“Two birds, one bullet.” She commented.
Rex didn’t dare laugh, but it was a little funny. “Playing solitaire, Miss Lang.”
“Tarot.” She replied.
“Neato.” Stockton said.
“Should I do a reading for you?” She asked.
Rex thought for a moment. “Can’t think of a better opportunity, honestly. Read away.”
Both Hazel and Stockton worked to keep Rex alert and responding as Hazel Lang explained shuffling the deck. Rex clumsily cut it with his bloody fingers. And then she began the reading.
Hazel laid out three cards on the table beside Rex’s head. “This is a basic reading, son: past, present, and future.”
“Okay.” Rex blinked and tried to keep everything in focus.
They had changed out towels for his wound a few times. Rex had lost count. Each time Stockton went to grab another he’d looked more and more worried.
Hazel flipped the first one.
“What’s it?” Rex slurred.
“The Devil.”
He lost time as Hazel explained that this was his past.
That made sense.
The second one was flipped. “This is the present. The Ten of Swords.”
“Can… I see?”
Miss Hazel held the card out. A man lay on the ground, pierced by many swords.
“That…that sums it up.” He sighed and closed his eyes.
“And the future. Oh.” Hazel Lang fell silent.
Stockton asked. “Is that one bad?”
“Generally.” Hazel answered.
“Give it to me… s-straight, Miss Lang.” Rex opened his eyes. Colors were blurring together.
“The Tower.” The elder pronounced.
The front door banged open. Rex heard Burden’s voice from far away.
“Sounds ‘bout right.” And Rex fell into darkness.
For twelve hours a day, every day, Evelyn had been tested.
They asked him to build from schematics. They asked him to design schematics. They immobilized him in the same chair and had him direct others to build machines.
They gave him drugs. A lot of drugs. They would dose him with something that made him nauseous and faint and dizzy and asked him to complete tasks. Solve equations. Answer their questions. Blindfolded. Ears plugged. Starved. Sleep-deprived. Sedated. Hot. Cold. Dizzy.
Over and over and over.
He was tested under every possible circumstance. Every possible test. Until now.
Evelyn winced as the needle probed beneath his skin and into a vein.
Evelyn wanted to pull away from the needle and the IV bag and everything they were about to do to him, but the restraints kept his wrists, ankles, and chest firmly pressed to the chair. He swallowed hard. The IV needle was taped to his skin and the nurse left the room without even meeting his eyes.
The door hissed and clanged shut.
Evelyn only had a minute or two to try and calm down before the door opened again and someone else entered.
The lady wore a strained smile and a nice suit. She sat down, keeping the table between her and Evelyn. And ignoring him, she began to shuffle through the papers she had brought. After what seemed like ten minutes or so, she spoke.
“My name is Ms. Brown, I am the Assistant Deputy Supervisor at the Bureau of Extrohuman Affairs and Regulation. I am here today to give your official status and category as an Extrohuman, witness your tagging procedure, and answer any questions you have. Do you understand?”
She never looked at him, not once.
Evelyn opened his mouth to speak.
The nurse came back.
Ms. Brown continued. “Evelyn Earl, your tests indicate that you place with the Enhanced Category, subtype Intelligence, archetype Crafter, division Mechanics.”
The saline was cold and Evelyn began to shiver. Of course he was good with machines. That was obvious. Why did they have to test for it? Why?
The lady continued. “Established legal precedents necessitate a procedure to display your status upon your person, this is sometimes called tagging. Once this procedure is completed, displaying this status mark will be used in conjunction with other identification you carry in order to comply with requests for identification. Please give verbal confirmation that you understand this procedure.”
The lady stopped talking and looked up at Evelyn. Staring at him.
Finally looking right into his eyes. Nothing in her expression indicated that she was looking at another human being. He may as well be another piece of paper that needed initials and dates.
Evelyn started when he realized he was meant to speak.
“Oh.” He licked his dry lips. “Right, yeah, I understand.”
The lady made another note on her papers. The room was so quiet that Evelyn could hear her pen scratching.
Eventually, the lady looked up and nodded at the nurse. “You may proceed.”
The nurse wheeled a cart with a machine closer to Evelyn. The nurse turned it on and the machine began to hum. Evelyn only began to panic when the nurse began to untie the front of his gown.
“What are you doing?” Evelyn felt his heart begin to quicken.
The nurse bared his chest and disinfected the skin over his heart.
The lady with the papers got up from the table.
“What is the procedure?” Evelyn asked, panic edging his voice.
“Identification.” Was all the lady answered.
The nurse leaned in close, holding something like a pen, which was connected to the machine by a cord.
“What is that?” Evelyn could not tear his eyes away from the strange pen.
The nurse turned and looked at the lady.
The lady shrugged.
What was tagging?
When the pen first touched his skin, Evelyn thought he had been cut. But when the smell of sizzling, burning, charred flesh filled his nose, he knew this was false.
Evelyn let out a scream and struggled to get away from the electrocautery device. But the bindings held him firmly.
The pain continued and amplified.
Evelyn thought he could hear the pain. Like barbed wire screeching through his ears.
He screamed again. And again. Evelyn felt sweat bead upon his forehead and roll down into his eyes, stinging and hot. He sobbed until his throat became raw. It went on and on, for what felt like hours.
Then, the hum of the machine ceased. The nurse moved away. A crinkling sound
Evelyn was left panting. He cracked his eyes open and saw the nurse was unwrapping bandages.
He could not stand it any longer. He needed to know.
Evelyn looked down to his chest, to the spot over his heart.
Shiny, bleeding burns. The smell of cooked flesh. Skin crackling.
A series of numbers and letters. They meant nothing.
But they were now branded into him. Into his flesh. Tagging. Identification.
Evelyn let out another sob.
(BBC Merlin)
@mediwhumpmay
Merlin didn’t know how long he had been hiding in the thorn bushes. The shouts of the bandits and their crunching footsteps in the snow had long died away. But he dared not move. He could not move.
The deep wound in his thigh made it impossible.
Merlin shivered. The sun was going down.
The frigid, wet snow has soaked deeply into his clothes, contrasting with the hot and sticky blood oozing from his leg. Merlin sighed. Closed his eyes for only a moment. Just a moment. He was so tired.
So tired.
Snow had begun to fall again.
“Merlin!”
Merlin was shaken awake, thigh throbbing with fire. He gasped.
Bandits.
They were after him.
His eyes flew open and before he really saw anything, he sprang away from whatever had grabbed him. He struck out and tried to twist away from the grip on his arm.
“You idiot! Stop it!”
Merlin stopped. The voice was familiar. His vision cleared and Arthur’s face swam into view, cheeks pink with cold.
“What are you doing here?” Arthur’s voice was entirely too loud. The bandits would hear. They would find them. And Merlin was too tired to protect Arthur.
Merlin opened his mouth to warn Arthur.
Prince Arthur stuck his torch upright in the ground and began to haul his manservant to his feet, dusting snow from his clothes. “We have been looking for you for hours. What are you doing napping in a bush? In the snow?”
As soon as Arthur let go, Merlin crumpled, pain flaring in his leg. He gasped as he hit the ground.
“What is wrong with you now?”
“Leg.” Merlin whispered.
Arthur didn’t try to pick him up this time but instead brought the torch closer to examine Merlin’s leg.
“You’re hurt.” A rough gloved hand probed the wound.
Merlin jumped and cried out. “Yes.” He panted. “Bandits… attacked me while I was-”
“Gathering herbs for Gaius.” Arthur finished, removing his hand quickly. “I know, he asked us to look for you when you didn’t come back. This is still bleeding, Merlin, we should- What should we do?”
Merlin saw Arthur looking at him for help, eyes wide, face white. Arthur was scared. Arthur didn’t know what to do.
Merlin swallowed and nodded, trying to focus. What would Gaius do?”
“I’m cold and-”
Before Merlin had finished speaking, Arthur had taken off his cloak and wrapped it around Merlin’s body.
Merlin smiled a little at the warmth and closed his eyes.
“And?” Arthur prodded him. “What else?”
Merlin opened his eyes again. “The wound, I need to look at it. Either bind it or sew it. Got to… got to clean it.”
“Can’t I just get you back to Gaius?” Arthur frowned. “He can fix you up.”
“No.” Merlin shook his head, the world spinning a little. “No, it’s still bleeding. I might not get back in time.”
“In time for what?”
Merlin gave Arthur a look.
Arthur met his gaze then nodded. “Right, yes, dying. Sorry.”
“Obviously.” Merlin sighed. He thought a moment more. “Can you start a fire?”
“It’ll be difficult with the snow.”
“I know.”
“I’ll do it.” Arthur got up. “I’ll get kindling. Don’t die while I’m gone.”
Merlin huffed out a laugh. “I’ll try.” He tried to put pressure on the wound and winced in pain.
Merlin drifted a little. Arthur came back pretty quickly and using the flint that Merlin carried in his bag, started a little campfire. Merlin finally began to warm, the feeling returning to his fingers and toes.
“Better?” Arthur asked, finally sitting down nearby.
Merlin nodded.
Arthur leaned forward. “Now what?”
Merlin swallowed hard. “I need to look at the wound, close to the light of the fire.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur stood up again and helped Merlin slide closer to the fire.
“Thanks.” Merlin grunted and looked down at the slit in his pant-leg, dark with blood. “Do you have a knife so I could-”
Arthur leaned forward and just ripped the pant-leg open, revealing Merlin’s thigh and the ugly, oozing wound.
Merlin sighed. “Thanks again.”
“No problem.” Arthur looked at the wound. “That looks bad, Merlin.” His voice had become tight.
“I know.” Merlin opened his bag and began to dig around. “I think-... I think I have to suture it.”
“Like sewing? What are you going to use for needle and thread out here, idiot? I should have taken you to Gaius.”
Merlin held up his small sewing pouch under Arthur’s nose.
“What’s this?”
“My sewing kit.” Merlin smirked a little.
“You carry a sewing kit everywhere you go? You are such a girl, Merlin.”
“A prepared girl.”
“You have me there.” Arthur admitted.
Merlin unrolled the pouch and pulled out the roll of gut and a curved, sharpened fish bone. His trusty needle. He’d made it last summer and was rather proud of it.
Merlin prepared the needle and thread and sat up against his bag and Arthur’s rolled up cloak. This was the best view he was going to get of the wound. Merlin raised the needle.
“Wait, wait.” Arthur stopped him.
“What?”
Arthur gestured towards the wound. “Is that it? You’re not going to clean it? Or take something for the pain?”
Merlin frowned. “Arthur, Prince Dolt, we are in the middle of nowhere. There’s nothing to clean it with. And I have no herbs for pain, nor any way to prepare them. My main concern is just not to lose enough blood that I die. So I will suture this. Bind it. And then we can get back to Gaius for the other things. Understand?”
Arthur had gone a little pale, but nodded.
Merlin took a breath and began to sew.
The first suture was awful. The second was worse.
Well, they were very neat. Gaius would be proud. But they hurt so much on top of the fiery pain of the sword wound.
The third made sweat bead on Merlin’s forehead and upper lip. The fourth had him panting.
In the middle of the fifth, Arthur asked. “Does it hurt?”
Merlin didn’t take his eyes off his work and couldn’t really form words. He had just enough energy to grunt.
“Right, sorry.” Arthur kept quiet after that.
The sixth made the blood drain from Merlin’s face. He stopped counting after that. Or he lost count.
He tied off the last suture and cut the gut. Arthur pressed some strips of cloth into his hands and Merlin managed to bandage the wound, tying it with numb and blood-stained fingers.
His whole leg throbbed. The forest spun around him. Merlin closed his eyes.
A strong arm wrapped around his shoulders and the other supported his knees. He floated away.
babe wake up new whumpay prompts dropped. like last year, im posting early for more time to prepare
Welcome to Whumpay 2024! Up above you will see the basic prompt list and down below the cut you will see it written out in a list, as well as three mini challenges (and by extension, the extreme edition)

You only have to use one (Or two, if you’re doing the extreme edition.) prompt a day! But you’re welcome to use multiple if you want to, and it still counts for both.
I know the description of the blog says it’s a writing event, but if you want to draw or make other kinds of content, that’s cool too.
Have fun, tag content warnings (such as noncon, graphic violence, etc) and try not to be crushed by the mortifying ordeal of posting your writing.
This is a pretty chill event so you can start posting whenever but I’ll be reblogging posts made to the #Whumpay2024 tag throughout May. For real this time.
These all also apply to these three special mini challenges, consisting of a 7 day, a 10 day, and a 14 day prompt list.

@medwhumpmay
Solo let out a soft: “Oh.”
Illya turned.
For one weightless moment, he saw Solo listing to the side. Head drooping. A flash of eyes, whites, rolled backwards. Illya caught him. He helped lower Solo to the floor while Solo apologized over and over.
He shouldered out of his jacket and folded it. “Here.” He murmured. He reached down and placed his hand under Solo’s head. “For your head.”
Solo lifted his head and let Illya place his jacket under it.
“Thanks.” Solo said. “You don’t have to do that.”
“Yes, I do.” Illya settled beside Solo. He gently pulled back Solo’s shirt. Blood. A lot of blood. He found the wound on Solo’s side.
Solo hissed in pain. “It’s fine. Don’t-” Solo gasped and jumped as Illya pressed his handkerchief to the weeping wound.
“How long have you had this?” Illya looked away from the wound and leaned over Solo, looking into his eyes. Solo was still sweating from running earlier.
Solo averted his gaze, looking up at the ceiling instead. He smiled, but the lines of pain in his face told a different story. “Not sure.”
Keeping one hand on the wound, Illya placed his other hand on Solo’s cheek. “Solo.”
Solo still didn’t meet his eyes.
Illya stroked Solo’s cheek with his thumb. “Solo.” Illya repeated.
Finally, Solo met his gaze.
“This is a bad wound.” Illya stated, his fingers becoming wet as blood seeped through the handkerchief already.
“It’s not.” Solo panted softly. “It’s not.”
“You should not have hidden it. You just had surgery-”
“We were busy!” Solo ground out. He was paler than before.
“You are taking blood thinners!”
“I was covering you!”
Illya sighed. He got up. “I’m going to see if there’s any medical supplies.” He took Solo's hand and placed it over the wound to keep pressure on it.
Illya didn’t find much, a few band-aids, expired aspirin, and an ancient thermometer. He found some old bedsheets however and carried them back to Solo’s side.
When he returned, Solo was a few shades paler, sweat beading on his forehead. Illya held his hand to Solo’s cheek again.
“You’re cold.”
“No, I’m good. I’m good. I just need a minute to rest.” Solo murmured. His hand had fallen away from his side, no longer putting pressure. There was a small pool of blood on the floor beneath him.
Illya began to rip the bedsheets and press them to the wound. Illya piled more makeshift bandages on top. He looked back at Solo's face. His head was sagging to the side. His eyes were half closed.
“You are running out of time. As soon as you’re out, I’m picking you up and we’re going.”
Solo was deathly white. “M’fine.” He sighed.
