The Sparrow:

Anon says, "The main character has been through an incredibly traumatizing ordeal that has left him mentally scarred, physically disfigured, and in poor health. He is interrogated throughout the book about the events leading up to this ordeal by superiors who don't know what happened and have little sympathy for him.

The book constantly switches between present and past, so you get contrasting views of this character when he used to be a bright and outgoing man versus when he is a traumatized wreck who won't stand up for himself.

On top of the whump, this is a beautiful piece of literature, highly recommend!"

Murderbot:

Anon says: "short action SF novella featuring a human-like robotic construct that hacked its safeguards to prevent Traumatic Incident from happening again, and exists in constant fear that the humans who rented it will find out and have it destroyed. Luckily, its current humans are empathetic scientists from a world that is not the capitalist hellscape that encompasses much of this universe. Various healing sequences, passing out, injuries that would be catastrophic for a human, self-sacrifice, found family, angst. the whole series is great but this book is just a blast and Martha Wells really knows her whump."
