A rec and a request for recs: Disability fic.

[severity_softly]

I've been, for some reason, craving a re-read of odogoddess' Without a Word (Snape/Lupin, NC-17, fairly heavy warnings), which was written for my snupin fantasy fest prompt this year. It's been rattling around my head for the last few days and, if you haven't read it (and can stomach the warnings), you should definitely click the linkage and read it.

I'm not sure why, but it's got me really wanting to read some good disability fic lately (I actually surprised even myself by listing it as a "kink" on my merry_smutmas request). So up there is my rec for you guys! Do you know of any any good ones I should read? I prefer Snape/Lupin, but I'll read pretty much anything with Snape (except for fics in which Harry, Ron, Hermione or Sirius are his partner), even het if the pairing intrigues me (Snuna disability fics, anyone?), and I would prefer him to be the one with the disability (unless it's Snupin - I'd be fine with disabling Remus instead). Any rating is fine (though I am siting here at work, which is why I'm not reading the fic I recced right now *g*, so lower rated fics would be just as appreciated as teh prony ones), and please don't be too shy to even pimp your own work. Thanks! :)

I know of a couple fics where the disability is blindness; neither has Snape at all, I'm afraid, but if you want I can give you the links.

I gave Snape an OC boyfriend who is blind... but whether or not you want to read my bizarre world (I think I take the 'this is fanfic, I can make them be or act like I want them to :P' thing a bit too far sometimes XD) is another kettle of fish!

Harry Potter and the Search for Meaning of Life at Hogwarts (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/685918/1/Harry_Potter_and_the_Search_for_the) (set in 7th year... written waaaaaaay before OtP). Lupin does make an appearance, as does Sirius...

I have a prequel set in the 2nd year which may have Snape going off to shag someone else on the sly... :o
'The Gospel, according to Gilderoy Lockart' (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2602437/1/The_Gospel_according_to_Gilderoy_Lockhart)

I have an evil!Lupin fic, featuring Snape's other half... but it's evil!Lupin (is mostly Snupin) 'A Rose, by any other name (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3241434/1/A_Rose_by_any_other_name)'

Apart from that I suggest checking out painless_j's Master Lists, you can find the disbality one here (sorted by disability then the fics are sorted by pairing I think):

Part 1 - blindness, deafness or/and muteness (blindness, deafness or/and muteness.)
Part 2 - impotence, physically handicapped [arms, hands, legs]. (http://painless-j.livejournal.com/338771.htm)
Part 3 - amnesia, insanity, aphasia, stuttering. (http://painless-j.livejournal.com/182426.html)
Part 4 - cancer, poisoning, HIV/AIDS, paralysis, cerebral palsy, coma, catatonia, narcolepsy, multiple, unspecified; related materials. (http://painless-j.livejournal.com/108589.html)

I'm thinking of writing a drabble in which Snape has a stutter, but now that he is an adult you only hear him stutter when he's stressed/under a lot of pressure. Might set it during GoF just so I can make him suspicious of Moody when he says something like "long time since I heard you stutter." when real!Moody may well have *never* heard him stutter...

I'm thinking it's likely that if the story is not Snape or Snape/? centric, it's probably not for me. There are only a few non-Snape ships I like (Neville/Luna and Fred/George are the only ones coming to mind right now), though if it's a relatively rare pair, I might read it just to see if I like it. :)

Oooh, thanks for all the pretty links! :D

Well, one's Harry/Draco (that one's mine, actually), but the other is Seamus/Dean with past Seamus/Fred and eventually Dean/Seamus/Fred, so it might be rare enough for you... "Strange-Eyed Constellation (http://thrihyrne.livejournal.com/tag/strange-eyed+constellation)," by thrihyrne. Dean is the one who is blind in that.
