Rec me some fics!

Okay so it's April! Among other things this means:
-A new round of [community profile] remopodmo to help us all record more podfic for [community profile] amplificathon, [community profile] podficbigbang, or whatever. I always get a ton done during [community profile] remopodmo months. Thank you, [personal profile] cantarina!
-The official start of [community profile] welovepodfic, the Podfic Feedback Challenge, including the week 1 mini-challenge, comment on an old favorite to tell the reader how much it's meant to you.
-Also there will probably be a new challenge at [community profile] kink_bingo! (The mini-challenge post hasn't gone up yet but I'll probably edit this post to link to it when it does.)

Another thing that's happening that started in late March is the People with Disabilities (PWD) Being Awesome Commentwork Fest!, hosted by [personal profile] terajk. You can leave prompts or post fic or drawings or podfic or whatever there.

Hey, speaking of fanworks about people with disabilities, I want to make some! Maybe you can help me. Although I'm paying attention to the [community profile] kink_bingo mini-challenges and doing my best to participate in those, the two big personal goals I've set for myself during this amnesty period are
-finish a blackout of my second bingo card (some images NSFW), and
-make a Characters With Disabilities bingo for the top row of that card.

I only have four squares left to fill for the blackout! One of them is a fic that I'm writing and am pretty sure I can finish. The other three are part of that top row and I don't know how I will fill them yet. Can you help me find stories that I could podfic, featuring characters with disabilities and the kinks vehicular, guns, and body alteration/injury?


Looking around for fic about PWD, I have found more gen than porn, and if I look at shippy stories then it's more angsty relationship stuff with maybe a happy ending of "It's okay there can still be love". Obvs I am all for gen fic and I also enjoy angst and relationship and h/c, but for this particular goal I am especially looking for stories where the disability is there but the focus is more on "damn, this thing we're doing is hot!"

Some of my favorite characters with canonical disabilities are Toph from Avatar, Watson from Sherlock Holmes (especially Jude Law's version), and Charles Xavier from the X-Men movies (including XMFC).

Some other characters I could imagine podficcing about are Roland from Saved!, Teo from Avatar, House from House, Gaeta from BSG, Chris and other characters from The Lookout, and several characters from The Hunger Games books.

And of course they could be folks like Merlin who are not disabled in canon but are in some AUs.

By kb rules they'd need to be at least 500 words and I would prefer that they be less than 7000, though if you know of something awesome that's a little bigger that's cool, do let me know about it. If you drop links in comments please at least mention what fandom they're for, and if your comment includes spoilers then please mention that in the subject line.

If podficcing doesn't work out for all the squares maybe I will write something, so I would take fic prompts as well! Especially interesting to me would be prompts involving the ladies of Merlin.

For those of you who don't know me, my main fandom is Merlin and I'm also into Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Community, and a bunch of other fandoms that are listed in my tags.

Thanks so much!
