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.)

Logic and Linguistics by lily_winterwood
Fandoms: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
13 Apr 2014

Summary
“The morphemes and phonemes of languages are the atoms of linguistics. The rules they adhere to can be observed and understood by those who seek to know them.”
“So you like its logic?”
“Put simply, yes,” agrees Spock.
“Good,” says Nyota. “That’s what brought me in, too.” -

Summary
After five years of extortion, pressure, and grief, Shanxi’s colonists have had enough. A select few brave souls lean into the assistance of their supposed enemy to free their fellow colonists from their true captors. In the midst of the occupation, an obscure mechanic with few memories of her past is an informant and a saboteur of sorts, discreetly assisting their liberators – a “traitor” as their oppressors would say, or a “ghost,” as her correspondents refer to her.
She once said that she would fight for something worth dying for until she found something worth living for, but what is the cost of either? With heavy trauma inflicted during the Conflict, she rebuilds and moves forward, seeking an individual and a future that supersedes all else, and changes who she is in pursuit of both. The journey reveals much more about herself than she ever wanted to know…

Summary
Ulchtar is an aerospace engineer working under MECHA, the world's largest anti-alien defense corporation. (If you asked him, he'd even say he's their *finest* aerospace engineer.) He's led their space program since its inception. But his career takes a nosedive after Jazz, one of their best mech pilots, vanishes during MECHA's very first space mission, and his boss decides his talents are no longer necessary.
If he's going to survive, he'll need a lot of help. And if that help comes in the form of a giant robot from space that predates human civilization, who the hell is he to complain?

Dear Hat Guy, go kick rocks with those open-toed shoes! by Alcru_eat
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
22 Nov 2024
Tags
Summary
“You’re not Tighnari,” he said matter of factly as soon as she stopped in front of him. He looked her over from head to toe a few times and then raised an eyebrow in the same way Master Tighnari did not too long ago. He was expecting something. Some… greeting maybe?
“Oh! Um…” she held out her hand for a handshake. “I’m trainee forest ranger Collei, reporting! Master Tighnari had to leave on short notice so I’m picking up the mail in his stead!”
In which Faruzan starts to enjoy her mental sparring battles (trash talking sessions) with that brattish Hat Guy a little too much.
A series of oneshots with continuity.
Latest: Collei meets the mysterious mail man

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.)

Summary
“How do you do it?”
“Hmm?” Corazón hums around the cigarette between his teeth, cocking his head as if to listen to him better.
“How can you just…change your accent at the drop of a hat?”
Language was never anything particularly special to Law. It was just the different ways people said the same things.
Until he was the only person left who spoke his.

Red Sprite & the Golden Ones (Rodorah slowburn oneshots) by ckret2
Fandom: Godzilla (2014), Godzilla - All Media Types, Godzilla: King of The Monsters (2019)
03 Jun 2021
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.
A collection of canon-divergent KOTM Ghidorah/Rodan oneshots. Each fic can be read alone but is part of the greater continuity.
(These are the Rodorah-specific fics from out of my larger series of related KOTM oneshots, No Kings Only Monsters. Check over there for—among other things—fics about Ghidorah's backstory, and fics starring other characters like Godzilla and Mothra. If all you want is all Rodorah all the time, stick right here.)

Summary
When you are asked to be an interpreter for an alien species aboard the Starkiller Base for a six month internship, you agree, even without being told the full specifications of your assignment. Assured that you are being told as little as possible for your own safety, you begin to wonder if such a thing is even possible, especially when you learn that you've captured the special attention of a certain man aboard the ship, who stalks about in black and hides behind a mask.
This is how it begins.

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…-

Alhaitham's sexuality: a work of fiction by marcipancake
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
05 Oct 2023
Tags
Summary
After overhearing a conversation about sex in broad daylight once again, Alhaitham looks ino himself and investigates, whether or not he also feels the same about it
---
“Why don’t you ask around the other Mahamata before the meeting?”
“Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?”
“The only thing that’s embarrassing is the fact you’re afraid to ask around. We’re all adults here, after all. This is a part of human nature!”
Human nature? Did that mean that Alhaitham, not experiencing such desire, was not human?

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.)
