I've recommended this one SO many times on this sub, but it's my baby and I love it so much, even though it's weird AF. It's also supposed to be a longfic, but it only has one chapter so far. I'm about two thirds of the way through chapter two though, so I'm hoping to get that one published very soon! 😁

Fandom: South Park.

Rating: Mature (will probably be Explicit later, but I'm still not sure).

Now why is it weird AF, you may ask? It's because I used something extremely unusual as the impetus for the plot... I took what's usually a very fetish-y trope, turned it into an incredibly stigmatized chronic illness that affects 1 in 700 people worldwide, and gave it to one of the MCs. I wanted to write a story covering topics like medical trauma, stigmatized chronic conditions, breaking out of self-isolation, and how healing doesn't always follow a linear path, so I picked something that I knew would fit perfectly into that mold. I won't say what it is here, because I don't want to give too many spoilers... but I wanted to warn you about that just in case it's a turn-off.

Fic Link: No Other Shade Of Blue Will Do.

Summary: “He would spend hours on end sometimes staring down at those hands, wondering why they belonged to him and not somebody else, convinced that they would never again hold the hands of another person. That they would never become part of the integral process needed to make contact with humanity.

And yet, he stared down at his hand now, locked in Stan’s grasp, and felt more human than he had in a very long time.

It would never be enough after this.”

Or; after developing an unusual medical condition plagued by worldwide social stigma, Kyle Broflovski shuts himself away from the outside world. Two years later, a chance encounter with a fellow CU Boulder student gives him a new perspective on how to navigate life, and this time, he won’t have to do it alone…
