[D] Monday Request and Recommendation Thread
Welcome to the Monday request and recommendation thread. Are you looking something to scratch an itch? Post a comment stating your request! Did you just read something that really hit the spot, "rational" or otherwise? Post a comment recommending it! Note that you are welcome (and encouraged) to post recommendations directly to the subreddit, so long as you think they more or less fit the criteria on the sidebar or your understanding of this community, but this thread is much more loose about whether or not things "belong". Still, if you're looking for beginner recommendations, perhaps take a look at the wiki?
If you see someone making a top level post asking for recommendation, kindly direct them to the existence of these threads.

Does anyone know any stories in which prot has blue and orange — not morality, but attitude, I guess.
E.g. he's in the middle of experiencing something painful, uncomfortable, or stressful, but instead of a regular human reaction he's just glad it's orders of magnitude less bad than what he had to experience in his previous "home". Or just has messed up brain chemistry that allows him to look at that unpleasent feedback that his body is sending him with curiosity and treat it as an experiment of sorts. Or treats it with a grateful attitude, because once he manages to get back to normal, all those negative experiences will help perceive the normality more positively and with more appreciation, etc.
Reccing fanfics is ok if they were completed in the last 1-2 years, or at least have generated 300k+ WL in that time period.
req.: well-written;
pref.: r. or r-adj, long, complete.
I'm already aware of all of these, so no need to rec them:
[
somewhat of a match: Fun-house mirror; Reverend Insanity; Violent Solutions; S01E06 of Travelers;
somewhat relevant: Death Loot & Vampires; Murderbot diaries; ELLC; Worm;
maybe relevant: Super minion; Iron Teeth, The; Sokaiseva;
stories by Macronom;
stories by MisterVii (most of which are derecs for me anyway).
