This week, we have four fics that feature blindness! (We ended up not getting any recs with deaf characters). Check them out beneath the cut, and as always, comment or kudos if you like them!

glass and steel by sparxwrites (1174,Teen) Warnings: internalized ableism Pairings:

They take Caleb first, and then they take his eyes, and when the Mighty Nein come to rescue him there is nothing left to save.

Reccer says: Frumpkin as a service animal!

roses are red and violets are blue by StorytellerSecrets (7160,Teen) Warnings: major character death, rape, underage, graphic depictions of violence, minimal comfort, vomiting Pairings:

Percy goes blind during the Briarwoods attack

Reccer says: amazing whump, with wonderful and horrific descriptions

Even Blind, I See You by Professor_Rye (1126,Mature) Warnings: eye horror Pairings: Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast

That’s what they had called this. A purge. It was the Dungeon of Penance after all. They were trying to save his soul, they had said. To burn the evil out of him before he eventually succumbed to his fate. To justice. Even now, he found their practices foolish.

Reccer says: Delicious Essek suffering

(Blind)sight by Celume (5443,Teen) Warnings: Pairings:

Orym relies on sight most of all but when a sudden illness threatens to take that away from him permanently, he has to find a different way.

Reccer says: Orym is so defined by his ridiculously high perception, it's interesting to see what happens when that's taken away from him

Sealed With Gold by bluegreenamber (1771,Mature) Warnings: Pairings:Ashton Greymoore & Milo Krook

All content submitted must be gen content. This means any romantic or sexual pairings are incidental to the story and their removal will not affect the coherency of the content.

If posting on Tumblr, any explicit or gory works should be placed below a read more cut. All explicit content must have some indication of what’s below the cut even if it’s just a general “violence” or “view/read at own risk” label.

If posting on AO3 (Archive of Our Own), please use the Gen tag when tagging fics. This can be found under the categories sections when posting a new work. You can check multiple boxes within this category.
