Blind Leading the Visually Challenged

[cat-77.livejournal.com]

Driving in to work today, a thought came to mind, and now it won't go away. Are there any fics out there of the team, preferably Sheppard or McKay, temporarily going partially or completely blind? I'm not normally a huge fan of disability fics, so can I add the request that things get better at the end? Slash, team (OT4), or gen preferred.

Thank you all in advance!

I tried to choose the tags that made the most sense. Please let me know if I should remove some or add others.

minnow1212 wrote Flying Blind (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/66821.html) in which John is temporarily blinded by aliens off-world (gen, with the original team)

And I wrote Sign Language (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/604136.html) in which John is temporarily blind and deaf after an accident with Ancient technology (John/Rodney pre-slash, and consumated slash in the sequel)

Thank you! Off to check them both out...

I've removed a couple of tags (as only mods can remove tags, members can only add them - lj is weird that way) but other than the 'genre' tag missing, you tagged you post well; I just figured that if you said you prefered John or Rodney to be the blinded party those two would be enough in the tags.

Also, have you checked the stories on the Disability Fanfic site's SGA page (http://www.geocities.com/disability_fanfic/stargateatlantis.html)? They're sorted by disability and affected character, so you should be able to find some you might want to read.

Thank you very much! I wasn't sure, so I figured it was better to over-tag than under.

I honestly had no idea that page existed. Off to check that out as well. Thanks again!

The link for disability fanfic posted above is probably your best option, but I can rec one of the specific stories listed on that site:

Scenes from an Unseen Life" (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=3331&i=1) by Delilah. It's one of my all-time favorites!

The Paradox of Vision (http://apple-pi.livejournal.com/215400.html) by apple_pi is fantastic.
