Part 1:

Luke's POV:

     "Ash... Hey Ash..." I feel bad for trying to wake anyone up. It's only 1:46am, but I haven't been able to go to sleep due to some mild stomach cramps. It's not really that they hurt really bad because they are so dull. I just really want someone with me right now. "Ashhtoon..."

     "Mmm, what Luke... Go back to bed..." Ashton groaned as I woke him up from his beauty sleep.

     "I haven't been to sleep. I feel kind of poorly Ashy..." That woke him up.

     "Awe Luke, what's wrong?" He got up from his bunk and walked over to mine and sat on it. I instantaneously snuggled onto his lap when he leaned back into the wall.

     "My tummy hurts."I stated plainly.

     "Buddy, you're going to have to give me a little more information than that. Are you nauseous at all? Or does it just hurt?" Now that he mentioned it I did have a small ball of nausea starting to form in the pit of my stomach. I sighed.

     "Bit of both, although neither of them are bad at the moment. Can I have some water?" Ash smiled down at me.

     "Of course babe. How about I bring you some toast as well?" I hestatantly agreed, although putting food in my stomach wasn't my current idea of fun. Ashton sent into the kitchen and put the toast into the toaster before grabbing a water bottle and waiting for that dreaded, obnoxious, pop of the toaster. Once it did he placed them on a paper plate and came back over to me.

     "Thank you." I reluctantly took a small bite out of one of the slices of toast and smiled lightly up to Ashton.

     "Welcome." He said returning the small gesture. "So you said you haven't been to sleep yet. Has this pain been keeping you up all night." I nodded taking another few bites of the toast. I ate one piece before I felt entirely too full.

     "I'm done Ashy. Sorry." I pushed the plate away. I took a couple small sips of the water.

     "It's fine Luke it's just some bread, it's no big deal. So how long have you been having these cramps now? I mean it's about to be 2:10am." He looked at his phone mid sentence.

     "I believe it started around 7pm, but I'm not super sure of the time." I suddenly felt the need to use the bathroom, which was great, just one more problem added to the list. I sighed and sat up slowly raising myself up from the bunk. "I'll be back I have to go to the bathroom." I briskly walked over to the bathroom and closed the door behind me. I quickly pulled my pants down and let them pool at my ankles. As soon as I sat down my bowels began to release themselves. Eating even one slice of toast hadn't helped my stomach any. I felt worse, if anything. The pain in my stomach was quite worse and I felt kind of gaggy.

     I pulled the small bin next to me onto my lap just in case my stomach decided to reject the small amount of substance. Unfortunately, as soon as I did that my nausea skyrocketed and I found myself breathing heavily over the bin. My mouth started to water and I held my mouth open letting the salivia string and fall into the bin. I gagged and cocked my head to the side, trying everything not to be sick. I took deep breaths and rubbed my stomach, but neither seemed to be working. I gagged again, only this one leading to a wretch. I heard a semi panicked tapping on the bathroom door and Ashton asking he could come in. Before I could answer I wretched harshly. Ash took that as a yes, I suppose, because he was at my side in an instant. He rubbed my back as I gagged. I felt bile rushing up my throat and I tightened my grip onto the bin as I heaved up what little I consumed. "Damn Luke... Get it up bud, you're ok." Just then I saw the door crack open a bit at the corner of my eye.

     "Is he ok?" I heard Michael ask.

     "I mean, I think he will be, but he's pretty sick right now." Ash answered grimly.

     "Do you guys need any help?" I heaved again just after the question. "I'm opening the door." He popped his head in. I didn't really care about my best friends seeing me on the toilet, it's not like they haven't seen my junk before. "Man buddy, you've got it bad don't you?" I nodded slightly, still overly nauseous. "Hey Ash would you like to go back to sleep? I can watch him for a little while?" Ash looked over to me and I nodded. I did want to Ash, but I knew he needed sleep as well.

     I'm still breathing heavily over the bin. "Sorry I woke you up Michael. Please tell me I didn't wake up Calum as well." I said slightly out of breathe looking up and the nausea passed slightly.

     "No buddy, we woke up on our own." I put my head in my hands after placing the bin down and sighed. I knew he was just saying that to make me feel better. "And besides, even if you did wake us, it wouldn't have mattered because we would still take care of you."

     "But you still need sleep. No one else should be suffering along with me by staying up." Michael crouched down.

     "Luke we don't care if we get sleep or not. We truthfully I just want you to get better. Even if it means staying up all night." I nodded before quickly grimacing as sharp pain and nausea crept over my stomach. I was forced to grab the bin yet again. I didn't even have a chance to get it into my lap, before I was vomiting into it. Michael rubbed my back as I was sick. "You're ok Luke."

     I was in the bathroom for about 2  hours, before I got a break. Once I got a break most of my head back up. "Why does my stomach hurt so much?" I was in so much pain after throwing up for the 9th time. "This fucking hurts... Gaaaahhh Michael...mmm..." I screamed and cried as a bad cramp ripped through my stomach. Both Ashton and Calum ran into the room.

     "Luke, I need you to tell me where it hurts. I want to call Matt, and tell him to come here. We need to go to the hospital." My breathing was ragid and painful. Each breath was causing my stomach to feel like it was being torn open. I was whimpering shakily with each breath. "Luke! Hey buddy come on tell me. Point if you have to, but I need to know?" Pointed to the left side of my stomach and Ash suddenly had a look of confusion etched onto his face. "That's -but... The appendix is always on the right side... Hmmm. Luke lift up your shirt for me buddy." I lifted up my shirt carefully not as to not touch my stomach.

     "Mmmmm Ashyyyy.... It hurts.." Ashton's eyes grew wide with panic and Calum ran back in and told us Matt was on his way.

     "You see this redness and the swelling... That signifies appendicitis, but-" I bawled my heart out at hearing that. "Listen to my buddy it might not be, but we need to get you to the-"

     "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUUCKING SHIT..... Owwwwwowowow." I was panicking as the pain in my gut escalated to a pain I couldn't imagine even in my wildest dreams.

     "Step on it Matt!!!" Calum yelled into the receiver of his phone as I continued to scream. I suddenly jerked forward slightly, bloody bile pouring out of my mouth. "Fuck Matt hurry!" He and Michael were crying now Ashton was the only one semi collected since he had an idea as to what was going on, but he was still mumbling something.

     Within 5 minutes Matt came running in. Matt scrambled to pick me up, being as gental as possible and everyone piled into the van, rather than his car. The hospital was only a 10 minute drive away, luckily, but we needed to get there as fast as humanly possible. "F-feel so sick A-Ashyy..." I leaned over the side of the seat and vomited. This time it was different.

     "Shit Matt blood... A lot of it... Hurry!!" Ash and Michael both yelled. I rolled back onto my back, knowing I would not be able to keep myself from falling forward any longer. I was coughing up more blood and it splattered onto my shirt, along with the blood and bile that was already on it. Everyone felt so helpless. If they moved me the wrong way it could cause me to pass out. I was honestly already on the verge of doing so without any help.

     "Luke, hey no keep your eyes open!" Michael yelled with tears in his eyes. I closed my eyes for a moment and the pain finally went away.

ur more hardcore about research than i am, is there any irl basis for like, the names and symbols of philip’s add-ons, or his facepaint?? do u have any headcanons about them??

 Hi! Sorry this took so long. I got extremely sick and it really took me out over like a 48 hour fever period, and this question required thought to answer, so I couldn’t until now. TuT

So. Yes and no is the answer. I think the names of his add-on symbols are not real words (I am not a linguist, and only have my own research to answer this with, but from the amount I was able to look over languages, I found no commonality?) I cannot say this with 100% assurance, because while I made the best and most informed guess for Philip I could when writing, based on the etymology of his name, I have no assurance the devs cared about that when naming the character, and there are so many distinct cultural groups with their own languages throughout all of the different countries in Africa ( many of which it is infuriatingly difficult to find information on -- also thanks devs for giving us an entire continent and /never/ pinning that search area down to even one single country for 100% sure TuT), and I spent more time looking at the ones that seemed most likely at the time (Igbo, Bantu, and Hausa), so it is possible they did take specific words from an existing language I could not find information on. However, I did spend a huge amount of time researching this originally, and then a little again tonight, because it’s been two years and you never know when new information might become available, so I feel relatively safe in hazarding this guess lol. Especially considering the dev’s track records when it comes to anything regarding race or culture. : / Unfortunately.

As far as his paint/body paint goes, that is again a yes and a no? And in a very similar way. There are tons of very complex and very different traditions throughout African people groups (thanks again devs for giving us such a small and not remotely varied area here :’- ), that do involve body paint for specific ceremonies or events, but not in the same ways as each other. I kind of highly doubt, though, since the devs haven’t even ever officially picked a country for my boy Philip, that they really gave a damn about basing his ceremonial attire on something real and specific, which is shitty, obviously, but probably the case? (I mean, I get them maybe not wanting to involve a specific culture and tradition in their video game man’s killing-people attire, but like, uh, there was definitely an answer to that problem that was not treating ‘of vaguely African tradition’ as a catch-all design wise). I wish I could give you a better answer for that, but they don’t leave a lot of information, so I don’t know which of many traditions they could have been vaguely referencing when coming up with his design, or if they really had a specific one in mind at all. In a very basic sense, though, yes, there is some reality-set basis to his body paint. And it’s possible the OG designer did some real and good work when coming up with him, since the OG game seems to have had a lot better work than some of the more recent updates, and that just never made it into published and written info for my boy and has been moved on past now. Same-ish answer for symbols. I don’t think any of them are real anything, but that they are vaguely based on not one but many vaguely visually similar things.

As far as my own takes go, I don’t have any specific cool thoughts to share relating to the game-established stuff Philip has, since I couldn’t research it since it doesn’t appear to really have factual basis, but I did do research for the things I added to his repertoire (like the shield he uses, and the sunset--although that’s not his, it’s borrowed from Vigo--and some stuff later in-fic), based on that heritage, and that was really cool to learn about! I have already made this a kinda chunky answer so I won’t go into detail and will try to give a super-fast basics summary, but for Philip in ILM, back when I started writing, I was of the opinion the devs had definitely had specifics in mind when creating him, and just been super vague, so I tried really hard to pin that down realistically based on what I did have, which brought me to Nigeria or Niger based on the etymology of his name, and after doing my best at that, I did research to find the most likely people groups within the area I ended up settling on (Nigeria was more likely) and then stuck to the background I decided on once I made a choice based on the little info we were given in-game, and studied a lot about them. ILM Philip Ojomo is Nigerian, and has Hausa and Igbo heritage mentioned in the fic, and has adopted cultural practices from both (with specifically some Bori on the Hausa side I think referenced most, which is where a lot of his spiritual background comes from). It is not uncommon for there to be mixed practices for people growing up there, which is his situation. Plus, along with that, it would have been a really complicated and hard time for Philip to be a child and to grow up, because he would have lived through the Nigerian Civil War and fallout while very young, which involved several million deaths and a targeted genocide of the Igbo people. He’s definitely got a fractured background, but instead of having no identity because of that, he holds pretty tightly to the chunks of the several that he has connections to and still remembers them as an adult, far from home.

Can you rec some Ronarry fics? (Preferably long ones?) Sorry if I'm annoying you.

You’re not annoying me at all, Anon! :D Thought I’m super frustrated because I’ve read one very long fic that has Ron searching for Harry, who has amnesia and ran away to America (and is gay but nobody knew that) and Ron realizes he’s in love with Harry and the fic has about 30 chapters and it’s on FFN but I can’t find it!! x_x

Sooo… I didn’t find that many long fics but I can give you a long list of them if you want?

Beautiful FriendIt took six years for Harry to learn something in History of Magic.This one. Oh my lord this one… it’s short, but it’s amazing. It’s full of lovely lively details and Harry’s description of Ron is… aaaww.

Life DrawingDean watches, and sees something unexpected.Again, the descriptions! My lord the descriptions, and also you will relate very much to Dean if you’ve ever worked with pencils.

Something They Can Barely SeeHarry has no idea how to tell his best friend he wants more that friendship. He’s pretty sure this would be hell of a lot easier if he knew for sure how Ron felt about him.This one is plenty cute. Ron is adorable and Harry… Harry’s trying his best. :’D

Our Inner BeastsLater, Madam Pomfrey would tell them that both Bill and Ron were going to survive. But she had no idea what the effects of a werewolf bite, when the werewolf was still in human form, could do to their behavior.Okay, who’s up for writing more Creature!Ron fics? Seriously. Someone do some more of those. Here we have Ron as a werewolf, aggressive, feral, self-loathing… doesn’t matter, Harry loves him.

Running with the Wolf, Loving the Mansnapshots of Harry Potter’s life with a werewolf boyfriendFollow-up of Our Inner Beasts. Someone heard our prayers and gave us more Werewolf!Ron, and it’s as wonderful as it sounds.

What HappenedThat’s just the thing, though. He doesn’t know what happened. He can’t pinpoint a single event where everything suddenly made sense. There was no epiphany or choir of angels or aligning of stars, or any of the other rubbish Parvarti goes on about in the Great Hall. There’s no one moment when he realized, “Oh.”Ron and Harry’s friendship, only it’s not just friendship. The last line will make you want to put on some epic music.

Follow The Butterflies“Why did it have to be spiders?” Ron moaned. “Why couldn’t we follow the butterflies?” Harry privately agreed with his best friend, but if there was anything Hogwarts had taught him, then that if he didn’t do something, no one would. “I promise the next time we have to follow anything, it will be butterflies.”Harry and Ron’s friendship again, with more butterflies thrown in the mix. It’s just as perfect as it sounds. If you don’t ship Harry/Ron, this fanfic might just change your mind.

Sonnets of Magical InterferenceHarry receives some strange notes about his love life, or lack thereof.By the end of that fic, you might just cheer for a very controversial character.

HeavenHarry’s heaven includes Ron.Features Ron being emotional over a movie, Chinese takeout, and Harry being a sap. What more could you ask for?

Harry Potter And The World That Went Bloody Insane“I know something you don’t know” is, apparently, the essence of Harry Potter’s love life. Harry’s certain that the world has been reading one too many romance novels, but then, Harry’s always been a bit oblivious.Featuring Protective!Attentive!Caring!Ron and Oblivious!Harry in their stinky flat and everyone shipping Harry/Ron. It’s awesome.

Check MateHarry questions his dreams, Ron has a scary one of his own, Hermione and Cho plot, and Seamus and Dean obsess.Harry’s subconscious has lots of funny ideas. Ron is ridiculously cute. Might be a bit difficult to read because of FFN’s shitty formating for line breaks.

On The OutsideHarry doesn’t think there’s much point to his being gay. He can’t have regular sex, he can’t have children, and he can’t tell his best friend he’s in love with him.Ron is utterly adorable, do I really have to say it? Why, yes, yes I do.

Newton’s LawFor every action, there is an equal and opposite reactionCheck out this author’s other Harry/Ron fics. I especially like Brass Ring; in the meantime, have a rather in-character reaction of Hermione and Ginny finding out about their ex-boyfriends dating. Hey, not my fault if JKR doesn’t know how to write strong female characters without making them abusive.

Sleeping BeautyThe most gen ever retelling of Sleeping Beauty.Who cares if it’s gen, it’s amazing. Harry sleeps, Ron is wonderful, and ants get colorful.

The Complexities Of Muggle MachineryHarry bought a refrigerator. Then it was a microwave. Then a blender. Thursday was the coffee brewer. Ron really liked that last one.Ron is absolutely, heart-stoppingly, adorably cute and pretty much just like I imagine him to be around Muggle things. Harry’s lucky.

After the cupcakesThey never really talked about it but they are each other’s world. And perhaps a lazy Sunday morning is as good a time as any to finally say something.Utterly sappy and fluffy and you know me, I was mostly there for Harry’s description of Ron. It didn’t disappoint.

Sing Your LoveThroughout the years they’ve lived together, Harry has always enjoyed Ron’s singing but lately he’s been picking up hidden messages in his flatmate’s song choices.Do you like Ron singing? Do you like Ron dancing? Do you like Ron crying his heart out over an emotionally oblivious Harry? Well in that case you’ve found the perfect fic!

Snakes & LaddersAfter the final battle with Voldemort, Harry intends to get on with his life. There’s just one problem; he was supposed to have died when he confronted Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest and now the Other Side is trying to collect him. But in the space between his ‘death’ and the victory celebrations, Harry’s fallen in love… and he’s not going to give up his second chance without a fight.A complicated premise, a complicated tale, a very worried Ron, a very determined Harry, an entirely unwelcome Severus Snape coming from beyond the Veil, all leading up to an epic confrontation in the Other Side. Who knew the afterlife had a court?

Now, it’s time for… TEH SMUT! D:Every story below this text will have MATURE CONTENT. Shoo, children, shoo!

Partners (last chapter gets NSFW)What if the girls hadn’t come in just then?  What course of action would Harry, in his desperate frame of mind, have latched onto instead?This fanfic made one of my most desperate wishes come true. For those who don’t know me, I’ll just tell you that Cinderella isn’t a matter of gender.

Scars (warning: mentions of self-harm)Ron is embarrassed of his scars, and Harry might be able to help.Ron is his terribly self-loathing self, but at least Harry is there to remind him of what we Ron-lovers know: that he’s loved and beautiful.

The Matchmaker (contains sexual mention)Sir Nicholas has never had a couple like these two…Nearly-Headless Nick ships Harry and Ron. So does the entire Gryffindor House. All in all, just what we need.

Exploring The Spectrum (NSFW at the end)Ron wakes up to find he can only see in a single colour.Very interesting mystery and clever use of a forgotten plot point. The resolution is basically “sex solves everything” but otherwise it’s a great story.

Hug! Hug! Kiss! (second-to-last drabble is NSFW)Ron loses Harry in a foreign land. In other words, Harry accidentally joins a Japanese boy band.This story is ridiculous, confusing, crazy, and absolutely hilarious. No existing celebrities were harmed.

Just Another Teenage Epoch - Ron Weasley, 1999 (NSFW at the end)Ron wants to be an Auror, and he wants to not grow up, and he really wants other people to stop kissing Harry.The classic mistletoe tale! Ron is not amused at all. It’s okay, we’re rooting for him (and Harry is, too).

Trapped in Winter (NSFW at the end)Harry and Ron have an argument. When Ron goes to storm out of the room, he’s frozen in time, and when Harry touches him to see what’s the matter, they’re both transported to a snowy winter wonderland.A surprising premise that leads to a confused, hurt Ron and a tight-lipped Harry, and of course, to Harry/Ron. Pretty nice!

That We Might Be Exactly Like We Were (warning: graphic self-harm, realistic depression, themes of suicide)'Everything just takes me back, to when you were there…’This author pretty much nails what depression is like. She also has several other Harry/Ron fanfics that are written just as expertly as this one, but be forewarned, they tend to deal with very upsetting topics as well. Sadly, I could see her version of Ron existing in the canon we know.

Slow Slide (get out) to a Better Place (warning: abuse and r*pe)Harry told himself that everything was fine in his relationship with Ginny, at least until he couldn’t lie to himself anymore. And by then, he thought it might be too late.  Fortunately, he has two very good friends who will always be there for him, one of whom might eventually be something more.Downside: Ginny fans should NOT read this story. Upside: contains Vivi’s most beloved ship, Romione + Ronarry.

Prelude and Fugue (NSFW in the middle)It took over an hour, from the time Harry arrived at work, for him to realise just how different today actually was.The “Groundhog Day” loop is wonderfully done, you can actually feel the weariness building as Harry wakes up and notices it’s still Monday, bloody Monday.And Ron is absolutely adorable - yes, I’ll say it every time!

Princes of Maine (NSFW at the end)Harry wakes one morning to find an abandoned baby on his doorstep. Little does he know that this is only the beginning of his most challenging adventure yet: parenthood.You want Harry as a single parent and not knowing anything about babies? You have it. You want Ron as a competent Healer who’s sick of Harry’s shit and determined to get answers as to why his best mate is a wreck? You have it. You want Harry/Ron? What are you waiting for, dive in!
