Summary
Carter played the recording for a third time. Red Hood’s lips pursed.
“I don’t know what the fuck Nightwing was talking about,” he said. “That’s not a Thai dialect. He’s always had the worst ear for Kra-Dai languages.”
(or, the one where an enterprising GCPD member uses the batsignal to ask the local vigilantes for translation help, and the Batfamily knows WAY too many languages)

the thing about dragons by KillerGirlFuria
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms
12 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Every morning Daelyra Targaryen wakes up and chooses violence. (Figuratively, at least.)
It might be because she’s Daemon Targaryen’s daughter. It might be because her soul is from another world. It might be because her dragon blood runs hotter than most, and that means more than she knew it could. It might be because the dragon that chose her is the most vicious of them all. It might be because she's a woman on a mission.
So many might-be’s, but one thing is certain: she wasn’t meant to exist, and the sole fact that she does was enough to knock the world off its axis.
Why not push the change further?
Or: Targaryens really aren’t human and expecting them to conform to human standards rarely ends well, and sometimes an unhinged woman with an unhinged dragon is all the world needs to prevent a disaster long in the making.

Kissing Conjugations by OpalApparition for KaijaRayne

Summary
“It’s not like that. Solas is my teacher, he’s helping me understand, and I want to learn the language.”
“Oh, he’d love to teach you things, I’m certain,” Dorian interrupted, waggling his eyebrows to make it more lewd. “He has a knack for language, clearly, so naturally a lascivious tongue. He’d offer some very hands-on instruction, no doubt. Wait, no, excuse me, mouth-on, kissing conjugations into lips that do not speak—”
“Dorian!”

Summary
Althea is an antiquarian, struggling to balance her love of language with her formal studies, a young woman who is content in her misery - as long as she can flourish in the study of days gone by. Her dubious stability is disrupted, however, when she meets the enigmatic stranger, 'Aro', during a chance meeting one night.
The pull to him is instantaneous, and Althea quickly finds herself unable to push with matching force. Regardless of how compelling he is, she cannot ignore his quirks, nor his antiquated ways of speaking, and especially not his beauty, the thing that she immediately determines is not of this world.

Summary
“Does it bother you?” Flins asks, voice low with concern.
Does it…bother Varka? Now that’s one hell of a question. If by ‘bothered’ Flins means that Varka is upset by the reminder of Flins’ ethereal otherness, his long-lived history, and all the difficulties their incompatible lifespans will surely bring upon them further down the line, then no, not in the slightest. It’s but a small price to pay for loving Flins, and Varka certainly wouldn’t want him to change anything about himself—not for Varka’s sake, nor anyone else’s.
But if by ‘bothered’ Flins is referring to Varka’s sudden newfound, all-consuming compulsion to hear him speak fae again—a rallying war cry in the midst of battle; whispers of sweet nothings in their quiet moments together; breathless gasps and moans, punctuated by screams of Varka’s name as Flins writhes in pleasure—then yes, Varka supposes it does bother him quite a bit.
Or, Varka wants Flins to speak fae to him in bed.

Summary
<You are coming with me,> Caraxes rumbled, letting a new whistling, high pitched roar to the rest of the room, making everyone take a step back, before he carefully reached the King, opening his mouth.
“Your Grace!!” Some people screamed in terror, and Viserys tilted his head, gaze curious. Caraxes send him a wave of Dreamfyre’s magic to share his intention and some of his healing ability, absently hearing his Muña’s bonded gasping from afar, and the King eye cleared up. Caraxes opened his jaw wider, feeling the man hold his teeth as he carefully got on his tongue, which he raised to allow him to sit like on a chair, the man carefully balancing himself at the very tip of his mouth.
“Viserys, what are you doing?!” Rhaenys yelled over the gasps and screams of the man around them, and Caraxes met Daemon stunned and half terrified gaze.
Viserys kept hold of his lower lip to not fall, and Caraxes carefully, gently, retreated to the widow.
OR Dreamfyre is a Dragon Dreamer. She saw the end of the Targaryen's dynasty and said "Fuck no."
OR Dragons are sentient, magic and can turn human. Caraxes is chosen to kidnap the king. Yay.Series

Didn’t I tell you already?… He had no idea how to say that in Kalosian. “I say that…” Ash paused for a moment, trying to think of how to use his limited vocabulary.
“You said that before?” Bonnie corrected.
“Yes!” Ash nodded. He wasn’t actually quite sure if that was exactly what Bonnie said, but it sounded correct enough.
“Is that in Unova? I— never — Pallet Town— far.” Bonnie rambled as she started playing with Dedenne's ears. “You know— people —so— for — Unovan!”
Ash paused as he tried to comprehend what she said.
