normalise making sex accessible to disabled people
normalise changing positions often to make it easier on joints, taking breaks as needed without it "ruining" the moment, and trying a few different things before finding something that works well for you
normalise using toys without it being "cheating", making the room a good sensory environment, and discussing what might be a problem so you can find solutions together
normalise using hand or thigh straps/harnesses for better control, propping yourself up on pillows/wedges because it's more supportive, and mobility aids being sexy and part of the fun

Lewis Fic Recs: Falling
James and Robbie falling for each other—literally and figuratively. First in what is likely to be a longgg series of hurt/comfort themed lists. As usual, this is far from exhaustive so feel free to add more fics to the list!
A Lesson in Trust by divingforstones
2,598 Words, James/Robbie, Rated T, No Archive Warnings Apply
A team-building exercise goes awry, leaving James injured and Robbie furious. James' memories and Robbie's actions in the moments just before and after the accident are quite revealing, and Robbie's gentle protectiveness in the midst of his crankiness and anger is very sweet. That last line is sure to give you all the emotions.
Over the Edge by greenapricot
11,809 Words, James/Robbie, Rated T, No Archive Warnings Apply
James chases a suspect down the towpath and tumbles into the water below, landing himself in the hospital. Robbie's gentle ministrations are so soothing in the face of James' disorientation. And there's just something so satisfying about watching James, who is convinced things will end badly and so desperately trying to keep his guard up, ultimately have to accept Robbie's care and all the joy that follows. Plus all the barely concealed sexual tension between them.
I Thought I'd Lost You by Evenlodes_Friend
2,765 Words, James/Robbie, Rated T, No Archive Warnings Apply
James just barely stops Robbie from being dragged off a high roof by their suspect, and learns a heavy lesson about facing the loss of a loved one—just as Robbie learns something about his sergeant. Written in powerful, beautifully lyrical language, this story tenderly captures the nuances of physical touch, fear, and grief.
Quick As You Like by dracofiend
7,146 Words, James/Robbie, Rated G, No Archive Warnings Apply
Lewis takes a tumble over his neighbour's cat and winds up in crutches. Gradually, Robbie comes to accept James' help, and the domesticity that results feels an understated, natural development of their comfortable, easy affection—made all the better by all the delicious-sounding meals they cook together.
Night Watch by divingforstones
9,378 Words, James/Robbie, Rated T, No Archive Warnings Apply
A glorious combination of dry humor, grumpy irritation, atmospheric sensuality, and genuine affection. Lewis takes a minor fall on a case, and James' insistence on hourly orientation checks throughout the night do not sit well with his patient—until he begins to understand the motivation behind it. Sometimes it takes the darkest part of the night to bring certain feelings to light.
Lewis: The World Transformed (series) by uniquepov
10,500 Words, James/Robbie, Rated G, No Archive Warnings Apply
A story written in twenty-one parts of five hundred words each. A suspect pushes Lewis down a flight of stairs, and James anxiously waits by his bedside at the hospital, trying to understand why Lewis had made him his next of kin. As an extra treat, this series lets us watch Innocent unleash the true, glorious extent of her righteous anger on a homophobic surgeon who refuses to attend Lewis with James in the vicinity.
stopping by woods by Anniely
4,291 Words, James/Robbie, Rated T, No Archive Warnings Apply
Robbie takes a fall while chasing a suspect through the woods, and tries his best to ignore his feelings for his sergeant while James spends the night keeping an eye on him. There are so many lovely sensory details as Robbie observes the woods, and later James in his apartment. And it's always fun to see a Robbie who's comfortably aware of his own bisexuality be the one to surprise James.
Killing Time by Willowbrooke
12, 635 Words, James/Robbie, Rated T, No Archive Warnings Apply
Lewis breaks his ankle and Innocent puts him on two weeks of sick leave. But while James and Laura do their best to keep him occupied, Lewis does not take well to being stuck at home. James, enlisting the help of Robbie's neighbours, comes up with a hilariously novel solution to keep Robbie entertained—inspired in part by 'Arsenic and Old Lace' and 'Rear Window'.

you seem to have a wide taste in books !! what are some books that you would recommend ??
Hmmm I wonder. I have the feeling I just read the same couple of books over and over, and at times only different iterations of the same story, like in that line by Borges ("the various intonations of a few metaphors").
I find recommending books without knowing anything at all about the person asking rather difficult. What I'd suggest to one may differ greatly from what I'd recommend to someone else. I'll give a list of some of my favourite books that I think are enjoyable in general:
— Thoughts by Pascal
— Cain: a mystery by Lord Byron
— The Iliad by Homer
— Crime and Punishment by Dostoievsky
— Othello by Shakespeare
— Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo
— Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
— The fragments of the Presocratics
— La Regenta by Leopoldo Alas, Clarín
— Tractatus Logico-philosophicus by Wittgenstein
— East of Eden by John Steinbeck
— Vita nova by Dante
— Contributions to the Founding of the Theory of Transfinite Numbers by Georg Cantor
— Caligula by Albert Camus
— North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
— Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie
— Some essays by Russell. I personally love Mysticism and Logic
— Metamorphoses by Ovid
Poetry is perhaps harder to recommend because at times it translates horribly, but in general I love Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Lorca, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Rilke, Byron, Quevedo, Góngora, Lope de Vega, Horace, Catullus, Ovid, Tennyson, Maiakovsky, Garcilaso de la Vega, Oliverio Girondo, Vicente Huidobro, Emily Brontë, T. S. Eliot, Luis Cernuda and Edgar Allan Poe, to name a few.
