We have actual spaces to hang out and chat and create now! Come in come in sit down at the Mensah table!
@beneathsilverstars 2h omg.. i do draw and write but i just spent the last two years in a fandom haze so i’m trying to get some irl stuff done before i jump into a new fandom to the extent of like, joining discords heheh. i respect your hustle so hard tho, in my last fandom i kinda singlehandedly pulled an extremely rarepair f/nb ship from obscurity into.. uh.. looks liks 22 fics on ao3 now! it is so hard being a fan of women but we will prevail!! however while i’m not looking to get too involved yet i would totally take some fic recs — i love h/c, esp trauma recovery (which surely this is the right fandom for, heheh); and i love explorations of unique types of intimacy/vulnerability, and accordingly i am down for genfic or shipfic but esp interested in the grey area in between. and perhaps i will draw her just for you :3c
securityunit-ese 4m :D :D INSPIRING yeah I am on a mission to get Mensah HAPPENING. Gen and Ship and EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. Okay I'm gonna have to post because my list. Is getting big
OKAY SO! It was really really hard to choose so I tried for a little sampling of different types of hurt/comfoort and trauma recovery omgggg so much trauma recovery.

Awh, so sorry to hear about your traumatic contracts. You get four big booms. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!! by captainio - Murderbot having a panic attack, including of Mensah.
Wayward by SleepyBonesInc - Murderbot's body betrays it, and after getting put back together, it goes to Dr. Mensah for comfort.
There's my works, which cross a pretty big spectrum and revolve around whumping both of them, fluff, whump, angst, shortfic, longfic, TV, book, both. I am determined to create a little bit of everything! I also REALLY like trauma and weird intimate queerplatonic stuff.
