Thread Description

Merrin working in Exception Handling

  • Status: in progress
  • Warnings:
    • dubiously canonical dath ilan
    • medical drama
    • non-lintacanon Feanorians
    • who are in dath ilan for some reason
    • ICU medicine in way too much detail
    • gross medical procedures and bodily fluids
    • I am not kidding about the bodily fluids
    • overly honest depiction of ICU nursing
    • except in dath ilan so it's also vagueblogging Earth constantly

Prerequisites

  • optionally, for no laid course prepare (how Merrin came to the attention of Exception Handling), for background on Merrin, dath ilan, and Exception Handling
  • optionally, something with Feanorians in it, for background on the family
