Title: Hand in Unlovable Hand
Rating: Spicy
Chapters: 28
Words: 83,453
Characters: Doctor (F), Kal'tsit, Amiya, various others
Relationships: Doctor/Kal'tsit, Kal'tsit/Theresa, Theresa/Doctor
Summary: Dr. Lau returns to Rhodes Island a stranger in a strange land, in a labyrinth of things that feel like they should be familiar but aren't—and at the center is Dr. Kal'tsit and all the things she's not saying. Even if amnesia's changed her, though, the Doctor wouldn't be the Doctor if she didn't have an impulse to solve for the missing variable.
Notes: while this fic is marked as "spicy" the only actual sexual content is in chapters 8, 9, 17, 23 and 27, and there's cliff notes for the scenes at the bottom of the chapter. sexual content is noted in the start of chapters where it appears.

Content Notes:

Everyone who dies in canon dies in this one, emotional violence, Mental Health™ (lack thereof), dissociation/depersonalization, vitriolic coworkers to lovers, earn your happy ending

MILD: Nothing particularly intense happens. Strong language exists. Romance if present is chaste. Largely fluff.

PIQUANT: Might be a little bit of a downer or otherwise emotionally intense. Violence, intimacy, and sensitive content are onscreen and potentially dwelt upon, but not graphic. Potential emphasis on grief and mourning.

SPICY: May contain high emotions and interpersonal strife. Violence may be onscreen and graphic. Sexuality is onscreen and explicit. Someone may die (not of fun)

EXTRASPICY: Contains intense and potentially upsetting scenes of sexuality, violence, or both. Mind the content warnings.

"Carly did you borrow this scale from Knitty" yes.

Content Notes:

Strap-ons, light bondage, rough sex, questionably healthy coping mechanisms, aftercare.
