Healin' Good 💖 Host Club
is an Ouran High School Host Club fanfic written by NoonboryKedabory. It was published to Archive of Our Own on January 10th, 2023.
In it, Mori enlists the Host Club to help him take care of a sick Honey. A mistake on his end.
Tropes:
- 420, Blaze It: Kaoru has the online username "hitachiin420".
- Affectionate Nickname: The twins refer to Honey as "Honeypie".
- Appetite Equals Health: Honey being sick is signaled by his refusal to eat breakfast.
- Calming Tea: Mori makes Honey some ginger tea to soothe him, which the host club's visitors compete to give to him.
- Deadpan Snarker: As is OHSHC tradition, Haruhi has snarky remarks for all of the hosts' shenanigans.
- Drama Queen: While he gets a brief flashy monologue in the first chapter, Tamaki goes full ham in Chapter 2, via his "stealth" theatrics.
- Here We Go Again!: In the final chapter, Honey is feeling better, but now it's Tamaki who's sick.
- Illness Blanket: When Honey is brought to the host club despite still being sick, his blanket is specifically noted multiple times.
- Incoming Ham: The first scene ends with Mori calmly consoling Honey, before going off to make some phone calls while Honey goes back to sleep. Scene 2 begins, cue Tamaki freaking out.
- Infection Scene: Parodied; in Chapter 2, a blinking red arrow points at Honey's drink of water, which then moves to Tamaki as he's shown getting a drink himself. In the next chapter, Tamaki is now sick.
- Innocently Insensitive: The twins genuinely want to help Honey feel better, but keep making him upset solely by not keeping their big mouths shut.
- Lemony Narrator: The narrator states in Chapter 2 that when Tamaki stealths his way through the hallways after excusing himself from class, she means he shimmies across the walls, acting overly conspicuous, even though the hallways are completely empty.
- LOL, 69: Fitting with 420, Blaze It mentioned above, Hikaru has the online username "hitachiin69".
- Shout-Out: The "Healin' Good 💖" part of the title is a nod to Healin' Good♡Pretty Cure. Chapter 2 even features Nodoka as a Special Guest.
- Sick Episode: Honey is sick with what is implied to be a stomach bug.
- Soup Is Medicine: Tamaki and the twins make soup for Honey.
- Special Guest: As noted under Shout-Out, Nodoka Hanadera guest stars in Chapter 2 as a delivery girl.
- Stealth Pun: While Honey is nursing on a thermos of tea, one of the girls refers to him as an adorable flower (in other words, a honeysuckle).
