Summary
Day 42:
As soon as the cabin is more or less in order and Eleven has stopped jumping whenever anything moves, which Hopper counts as progress, he starts teaching her stuff. Not on any kind of schedule: just as they come up. A lot of it is words. The kid barely talks, and even though Hopper starts to understand her short manner of speech, it would be a hell of a lot easier if she’d just say sentences.
So Hopper starts having her read.
The first obstacle to this endeavor, of course, is that Eleven does not know how to read.

Summary
There was nothing more beautiful than the sun rising over the plains. Dawn bled like a cup of coffee spilling over the morning paper, arresting Crowley’s attention. He’d always pause his chores to mark the progression from grey to blue and brilliant orange, moving like a curtain up over a stage. As a child he’d believed God must have painted the sky over the stars each day, but the farmer had long since abandoned both faith and imagination. Instead he relied on more tangible tools, the ones that could reign in 160 acres of the Great American Desert. His homestead was his Eden and he fit it to his own design.
My take on the farmer/librarian trope (can't get enough of it), set in 1895 or thereabouts.

Already expecting the ensuing tantrum, Severus took a moment before pointing to the blue and white letters on the package. “Let’s sound it out. What letter is-”Harry’s tiny hands immediately clapped over his ears. “No, no, no! I don’t want to sound it out! Just tell me what it says!”

Qeryana by Domenika Marzione (domarzione)
Fandoms: Thor (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel (Movies), The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
29 Jan 2014
Tags
Summary
Thor and his efforts to live on Midgard, as opposed to just defending it.
in many ways, he is childlike by Midgard's standards. He cannot read or write any local language, a skill set much more valued and valuable here than on other worlds. He is literate and numerate, of course, in more than just the language of the Aesir, but that does not help him in London or Cleveland or New York. He cannot tell whether the bottle contains soap or condiment, he does not know what a telephone is, or why it is that red lights in the street mean "stop" but on a machine means that it is "standing by" and ready to be used. He cannot contribute to the running of Jane's household, nor is he of any possible use in her work, and the lack of function grates, although he is careful not to take out his frustration on -- or give voice to any doubts about his chosen path to -- Jane or Darcy or Selvig.

Things Ain't So Lonely Anymore by arsenicarcher (Arsenic) for hoosierbitch

Summary
Ficlet set in hoosierbitch's Dyslexia-verse. Clint doesn’t give them anything but his name. He would tell them his SHIELD ID number, because that’s allowed, but he can never get it right, eight numbers, two of them repeats and while it probably wouldn’t hurt for his captors to think he’s retarded, it would hit a little close to the bone to keep saying it wrong.

Stede teaches Ed how to read.

Summary
"We're in a war, and there's no place for sentiment here. You'd do best to learn that quickly."
A series that follows the development of Eren and Levi's relationship. Also known as "the ECR Series". Meant to run side-by-side with the manga and be canon compliant up to a certain point, TBA, after which it will be a mostly-compliant canon divergence. Definitely not a depiction of a healthy relationship, but Shingekyo isn't exactly a healthy depiction of anything, so. There's that.
June 10 2025 update: All works are now being edited and revamped with altered and all-new content!
DISCLAIMER: ALL MY WORK IS DONE WITHOUT THE INVOLVEMENT OF AI. The use of em dashes is because I like em dashes. Remember that AI is "trained" by stealing the existing work of real writers, and the reason it uses em dashes so prolifically is because real writers use em dashes.

Sentiment by BlakeBroflovski (levi_ebooks) | https://archiveofourown.info/series/57837
"We're in a war, and there's no place for sentiment here. You'd do best to learn that quickly." A series that follows the development of Eren and Levi's relationship. ...Meant to...be canon compliant. Definitely not a [healthy] depiction of healthy..., but Shingekyo isn't exactly a healthy depiction of anything, so. There's that. Notes: You can read these in any order you like, but here's the chronological order for the optimal reading experience: • Cups • Mirror • Eren Can't Read: chapters 1-7 • Breathe Me • Eren Can't Read: chapters 8-14 • Green Light • Eren Can't Read: chapters 15-19 • Iris • Eren Can't Read: chapters 20-end • Run To You -

Summary
Stede explores his feelings for Ed by writing him secret love letters and teaching him to write. They grow closer and Stede's feelings grow more erratic for Ed.
exerpt: Ed balled his hands into fists, thinking. Then, banging his hands on the desk, he rose, yelling out, “It’s a motherfuckin’ I!” He – gently – slams the pen to the page, crossing out his first attempt at maim and writing the correct version. He even adds an exclamation point. “I like to maim!” He shouts, pointing to each word as he reads it.
“Amazing! You do love to maim!” Stede matches his excitement.
