Summary: In which Duncan discovers yet another food allergy.
Warnings: none (thanks, Kelly!)
Notes: Duncan is allergic to shellfish, peanuts, tomatos, strawberries, bananas, apples, and citrus fruits, as well as being celiac. He discovered six of these seven allergies while sharing food with Ahava. Hence the title.


"Goddamnit, Ahava," Duncan said, and tossed back the Benadryl like a shot.

"Don't blame me," Ahava objected mildly, paying close attention to his breathing. It seemed fine, if a little raspy, and his foot was the only thing swelling, which was idiosyncratic and fucking hilarious.

"My shoes don't even fit anymore!" he said. "Goddamnit, why is it that whenever I eat something you give me I go into anaphylactic shock?"

"This isn't anaphylactic shock," she said, and rolled her eyes. "It's just a bad reaction. And hey, now you know not to eat shellfish."

Duncan's only response was extremely profane.

Do you copy-paste from your previous header for each new one?

That really is hilarious and probably not fatal. Not terribly good for his foot, I'm sure, but not bad for the rest of him, either.

I was wondering because I keep a text doc for each story's header. So in my "In Progress" folder, there's "PF RF header", etc. For me, it's a lot easier.

It also means I don't, say, accidentally leave the title and summary and even prompts from the previous fic. Did that once on RATS. Oops. I think Sara was the only one who saw it, though.

Lol, agreed. It's like facepalm-worthy summaries or titles.

Oh, God, poor guy. At least it's much better than anaphylactic shock by a long shot, but that does stink!

Really, of all possibly allergic reactions, that's probably the best. But still, poor Duncan. XD

Well, I have to agree with looking on the bright side here. It could have been a lot worse!

But, I still feel bad laughing at Duncan's pain.
