Dear Hat Guy, go kick rocks with those open-toed shoes! by Alcru_eat
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
27 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
“How do you define being alive?” Faruzan asked. “Karkata toes the line between a weak and a strong artificial intelligence, which is probably why its existence is so controversial in the Akademiya.” Hat Guy shifted uncomfortably. “Regardless, do you think a worm is alive? Would you care for its pronouns like you do Karkata’s? Is it intelligence, and is an artificial intelligence alive?” Why does it all even matter?”
“You’re asking too many questions.”
“On the contrary, I think all of these are valid, even if we do not know the answer.”
“Then a question to you," he said. "Do you think we should treat artificially intelligent creatures as living creatures?”
Faruzan finds she enjoys her mental sparring battles (read: trash talking sessions) with a certain Hat Brat a little too much.
A series of oneshots with continuity.
Latest: Faruzan tries to figure out Karkata's inner workings. Studying a machine should be easier than studying humans!

Summary
“Oh! Did you grow up eating this, Sanji? You’re from the North Blue, right?”
There is a brief moment where Sanji considers strangling the little doctor, as he can feel the focus of everyone on the ship land squarely on him.
Law’s eyes narrow at that, and Sanji can see them briefly flick in the direction of where Franky and Brook are now bemoaning their lack of knowledge about his background, and then slowly move back until they were focused on him instead.
Oh. This was a mistake.
Trafalgar Law has the weirdest accent he's ever heard, and is clearly hiding something. Sanji is determined to get to the bottom of it.The Straw Hats' chef speaks the Northern language like no one else Law has ever heard, and Law is intent on picking that mystery apart.

Summary
Admittedly, this is not the first time Luke has wound up at someone else’s kitchen table in someone else’s clothes. But it’s not breakfast, Luke’s not an undergrad scarfing down bacon and eggs to cure the common hangover, and Din doesn’t strike him as the kind of guy he’d meet at a house party. The baby is definitely a first.
Luke is a grad student trying to finish his linguistics PhD after an unexpected leave of absence. His neighbor, Din, is a single dad and delivery guy at Pizza Parsec.
(Actually, Pizza Parsec is just a front for the bounty hunters' guild. But Luke doesn't need to know that.)

Some kids come from storks, others come from crashed spaceships by mmmajora
Fandoms: Dream SMP, Video Blogging RPF, Minecraft (Video Game)

Summary
The crew of the spaceship Sleepy Bois Inc. just wants to get off of the planet without any trouble. It's going fine until Wilbur finds an injured child. Now they have to deal with a 7 year old Tommy, who's literally been abducted by aliens and is rightfully freaked out. Not to mention, he's a human.
To the galaxy, humans are an incredibly dangerous species. The galactic council decreed that their planet be left alone until they naturally find their way into space. The few poachers that have been daring enough to take a human have all met gruesome fates at the hands of the humans. Even children are seen as dangerous, so SBI is a bit concerned about the new addition to their ship.
This is yet another humans are space orcs fic, featuring actual child Tommy.

Human Error on a Tactical Processor by sprook for Cloud_Hater
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types
25 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
His first thought, upon seeing the mech jump off of the cliffside and fall directly towards him, was that the Quintessons had somehow managed to make a Cybertronian to fight for them. That the mech descending from above, plasma blade pointed down towards him as he was held in place by the Scouts on either side of him, was a reanimated corpse, experimented on by the Quints to make a mech-killing machine.
[No EM field. No spark-pulse signature. Possession of Quintesson weaponry. 42%.]
He reconsiders when the downwards motion of the mech slices through the segmented arm locked onto his right servo.

No Kings Only Monsters (KOTM continuity / related oneshots) by ckret2
Fandom: Godzilla (2014), Godzilla - All Media Types, Godzilla: King of The Monsters (2019)
26 Apr 2021
Summary
Creatures don't have kings; separate species don't share alphas; and if you're a creature taller than a building, then most likely, your primary concern is attempting to understand the different species that you share a world with.
And maybe, if you're lucky, making a connection with them.
... And maybe if you're not so lucky, beating them up.
(KOTM oneshots that share a single continuity, although not much else. Generally you don't need to read any to understand the others, although you'll learn about the headcanons/backstories/worldbuilding more if you do. If all you want is a big ol Rodorah slowburn told in chronological order in a series of oneshots, then check out this series's sub-series, Red Sprite & the Golden Ones.)

Summary
Alhaitham’s gentle voice carried comfort over the air as he weaved words together like a delicate tapestry. As Kaeya listened, he was transported back into a forgotten kingdom, a dreamless nation with a starless sky and pitch black painted over the horizon. There was an unexplainable pain on his heart, grieving over a homeland that he never actually lived in.

During cold nights hugged by the darkness of the world, Kaeya Alberich spoke the dead men’s language.

Lost in Translation (Patching the UT) by sayler_antimony
Fandoms: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
30 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
A look into the Personal Logs of a Linguist on Deep Space Nine, who is uncovering the funniest and sweetest translation errors, and trying to patch the UT along the way.
***
And if you had asked Lieutenant Wittgenstein, who was currently tasked with the next report on the use of the UT on Deep Space Nine, which was a special case, what with all the Gamma Quadrant languages mingling in the matrix now, nevermind the decidedly casual language the UT was being exposed to at Quarks, she could have told you a number of things. The UT memory bank transcripts, heavily encrypted and for the linguists’ eyes only, of course, were littered with missed moments, lost meanings, and mix-ups. For instance…-

Communicating With Cavemen For Dummies, by Ishigami Senku by wugging_out
Fandoms: Dr. STONE (Anime), Dr. STONE (Manga)
01 Aug 2021
Tags
Summary
When Ishigami Byakuya left his descendants behind to help his adopted son, he didn’t realize that by the time Senku woke up, he and the inhabitants of Ishigami Village wouldn’t be able to understand each other.
Luckily, since Senku is Senku, he’s going to turn the situation to his advantage.
(a.k.a. what happens when you introduce linguistic realism to Dr. STONE, bc no language is gonna be exactly the same after 3,700 years. that’s just not how languages work, my dude.)

Summary
dan’s a lawyer who’s too good at pretending that nothing gets to him. phil’s a forensic linguist who sees the truth in everything; voice stress patterns, syntax choices, the way dan’s jaw tightens when someone calls him cold.
they’re thrown together on a case that’s already a disaster; where the evidence doesn’t add up and the witnesses keep lying.
it’s long nights in cramped offices. it’s coffee gone cold. it’s dan pacing while phil quietly listens. it’s dan’s voice cracking just once. it’s phil knowing exactly what he meant.somewhere between affidavits and tape transcripts, they stop being just coworkers.
maybe they were never just coworkers.or;
alternate universe where dan finished uni and is a lawyer and he and phil did not become youtubers

Summary
Electric space dragon meets volcanic pteranodon. Electric space dragon falls for volcanic pteranodon, but only one piece at a time. Volcanic pteranodon is still trying to figure out what in the world electric space dragon is—but in the meantime, he's game for being courted.
