<blockquote>I want to say as a first principle that almost every fic focusing on disability I’ve ever read can be understood as having some relation to service kink, whether that’s rolling around in the kink straight on (consciously or not), or subverting its usual presentation, or coming at it orthogonally from left field, or pointedly not engaging with it. Personally, I theorize this is because having a disability entails negotiating boundaries of rejecting and accepting service on a daily basis. I wanted to write about some of the ways I see this play out in intimate relationships, in fic and otherwise, because it can be a hugely complicated, thorny, sexy, unsexy, unpleasant, romantic, intimidating thing.</blockquote>
