recs post?

[jadelennox]

Let's make a recs post for awesome Yuletide stories about characters with disabilities.

How about link to the story with story name, fandom name, whether the disability plays a major role, and any other information you think we need to know (including warnings you think might be relevant to people in this community). I'll compile all the comments in the body of the post.

♥ Yuletide!

Disability plays a major role

Dia Reeves -- Bleeding Violet:

• "Lay Your Body Down (And Don't Let Go)." Rec text

How to Train Your Dragon:

• "A Better Leg". Rec text, which recs all the stories in the fandom

Megan Whalen Turner -- The Queen's Thief:

• "A Temporary Inability to Go Either Up Or Down". Rec text

Main character has disability; disability doesn't play a major role

Boardwalk Empire:

• "Out Where the West Begins". Rec text for this and for "Space for Innocence"
• "Space for Innocence"

Mary Renault -- The Charioteer

• "To reconcile all things unto himself". Rec text, which recs all the stories in the fandom

All four of the fics for Mary Renault's The Charioteer feature a canonically disabled protagonist and his canonically disabled love interest. (Both wartime injuries sustained during the evacuation from Dunkirk.)

I particularly recommend To reconcile all things unto himself. It's not disability-focused but it's a great fic.
