(I felt we were lacking in AUs for Disabled and Chronically ill characters, so here’s some! Please feel free to add your own! :D)

• You thought I’d been staring at you all night and wanted you to come over, but really I’m just blind and was looking nowhere. At least your voice is pretty. AU
• Nobody cleared the snow off the already not up-to-code ramp, and your wheelchair flipped as you tried to go up. I came to help you but I’ve slipped too and now we’re both on the ground. AU
• I spilled an entire hot cup of coffee all over you I’m so sorry I have MS and my hands aren’t cooperating today. (I’m helping wipe you down and gosh you’re cute). AU
• You’re the only other Deaf person at this university, and I don’t particularly like you. But you’re the only one who can talk smack with me in ASL so I guess we can be study partners. AU
• The store kicked me out after saying that my psychiatric support dog wasn’t a real service dog so you bought the tea I was trying to get and rushed out after me to make sure I got it.AU

• I’m an amputee, and when I was getting out of my car I got yelled at by a guy for using the handicap spot so I took off my prosthetic leg and threw it at them. You watched this happen and are laughing so hard you had to use your inhaler. AU

• I have a chronic illness and have to work from home when I have a flare up/feel especially ill. You’re the one our boss always send to deliver me my work. AU
• I have Cystic Fibrosis and you take the same bus as me everyday. I don’t know your name but you always have tissues to hand me with only smile when I have a coughing spell. AU
• Your electric wheelchair ran out of battery in the middle of the side walk and now I’m trying to use my manual chair to help pull you to the nearest repair shop. AU
• The office of accessibility paired us up saying that we would make good friends but I’ve never met you before and I already think you’re annoying. AU
• I’m a defense attorney who has dwarfism and you’re the prosecutor I often go up against. We’re in court when the judge starts using infantilizing language and you pause the judge’s opening statements to complain about how many cases you’ve lost to me. AU
• We’re roommates at the hospital and you won’t shut up. I’m trying to get some sleep over here. AU

• i’m in a manual wheelchair and my arms are exhausted so you offered to tie a rope to me and pull me like a sled dog with your electric wheelchair AU
• we’re in the same class and it has a killer attendance policy but we’re both in the hospital a lot so when one of us can’t go the other skypes them in AU
• we’re both Deaf and you can hear some low tones and i can hear some high tones so we’ve decided to interpret what the other can’t hear. it kinda works AU
• our university’s services for students with disabilities office has stairs leading up to it and our professors won’t give us the accommodations we need without a letter from them. wanna camp out in front of the dean’s office with me? AU
• i’m Deaf and you’re blind and our professor thought we should be partners for this project for some reason, and there are several easier ways to get around this but instead we’re learning tactile sign instead of working on this ppt presentation AU
• we’re both Deaf and the group we’re in are refusing to do anything as basic as not cover their mouths when they talk so we’ve abandoned them AU
• some asshole on the train isn’t getting out of the wheelchair space for you so i threw my cane at him AU
• i hate you and everything you stand for but you’re also the only other physically disabled person on campus so i guess we’re friends now AU
• our school disabled the elevators so people would “take the stairs” and “get more exercise”, and apparently we don’t fucking exist so hey do you want to hang out with me this week since we can’t go to class? AU

ME:

the supermarket was out of trolleys but the basket is too heavy for me and i had to sit down in the middle on the aisle to rest and you came to sit with me so it looked on purpose AU

i was enjoying talking to you so much that i stayed out too late at a party and got brain fog so you volunteered to make sure i got home ok AU

we had to move class to a different room across campus and the professor says that a brisk walk will do us good but i can’t keep up so you walk with me and offer to carry my laptop AU
