Deaf Disabled Neurodivergent and Chronically Ill Fic Authors
These fics were written by authors who self-identify as D/deaf, disabled, autistic or otherwise neurodivergent, chronically ill, have chronic pain or mental health conditions, and so on. That is, people who have different lived experiences than authors who are hearing, abled, or neurotypical.
Please note: Although people may choose various labels for themselves, the words "disabled" and "disability" in this blurb are meant to be inclusive of all of the above.
For this collection, I only include authors who have publicly indicated that information.
Some of these fics feature disability or accessibility as a major theme. Some have disabled characters, but disability is not a major focus of the plot. Some may not have any characters described as having a disability. The author's disability may be the same as the character's disability, or different.
This collection is curated by a disabled person. Please contact me if you have questions, concerns, suggested wording changes, fic recs (in any fandom), or if you would like to be added or removed from this collection. Thanks.

Summary
Bucky darts forward suddenly, shaking his head. He puts his hand on her shoulder, then lays his palm flat on his chest—and then makes a fist and pounds it hard, twice, right over his heart. The look on his face is stern but fond, an expression Steve hasn't seen since 1943, directed at one or more of his sisters when they thought the world was ending over baseball scores, or their homework, or a boy; Bucky hadn't ever let anyone get away with self-pity. That look would usually be followed up by C'mon, pipsqueak, let's go for a walk, but what Steve guesses Bucky's saying now is more along the lines of: You didn't let me down.

Summary
“You know I’m deaf right?” He eyes Bucky again and realizes he’s only got the one arm at the moment.
He uses that free hand to pull the smoke away, and he drops it off the edge of the Tower and Clint almost wants to laugh.
‘Sorry.’ It’s clumsily signed, like he just learned it. “I said,” Bucky goes on, a sedate pace and he’s got good lips—full and expressive, “sucks, doesn’t it?”
“What?” Clint asks.
Bucky just laughs and shrugs, and Clint has a feeling he means all of it. So, he nods. For the first time he feels like he’s telling the truth.
