Summary
But now she’s pulling away from him. It makes his chest tight with anxiety. He doesn’t like—being ignored. He doesn’t like being forgotten.
“Did I do something wrong?” he asks Gran, and Gran frowns.
“No, kid, it isn’t you,” he says, and then he doesn’t say anything else.
Toshinori can't accept that, so he does the only thing he can think of. He tries to be better.

Summary
She stares at her new handlers and tries to figure out why they seem so upset.
Or, at least. She assumes they’re her new handlers? She was moved from where she's kept and told to wait, and then these two men appeared. The people who brought her here told her that her old handlers were gone, when she asked.
So these must be new handlers.
She waits to see what her next mission will be. She isn't expecting anything that comes next.

Summary
“And you run that farm all by yourself?” Sanji hears said shopkeep, an older man with a low voice, say suspiciously.
“Oh, no, no!” chimes Usopp, in the tone he uses when he is deep, deep into bullshitting, “not by myself! I run it with my brother, of course!”
The shopkeep folds his arms over his chest. “A brother, huh?”
“Yeah, brother! In fact, here he is now!”
Sanji has just enough time to process the words before a familiar arm slings around his shoulder, and he's physically pulled into the charade. He goes with it easily and leans into his friend without thinking much—this is a fairly standard motion, one practiced nearly every day on the Merry. He raises his visible eyebrow at Usopp.
Usopp grins a grin at Sanji which screams, ‘roll with it.’ He says, “We were just talking about you!”
Or: Plotless fluff in which Usopp drags Sanji into some improv.

Summary
"The Dai Bendu language was spoken by the members of the ancient Order of Dai Bendu on the frozen planet of Ando Prime. The name of the Je'daii Order was forged in that language."
"Every language is like a one-of-a-kind species. It captures unique conceptualizations of the world and has its own ways of constructing words, phrases and sentences for communicating ideas. As we compare the words and structures of various languages, we come to a greater understanding of our world. (...) Language captures how we perceive the world around us and how we relate to one another, it defines who we are. The Mother tongue language we grow up with is the one used to express what is in our hearts; our heart language."
"Studying language is invaluable for learning about other cultures and mapping their respective developments, histories, myths, customs, etc. Linguistics also helps us understand and document geographical /environmental influences, periods of migration/diaspora, origin of certain spiritual beliefs, etc. through the study of things like cognates, shared myths between cultures, language families, and tracking differences in word usage and dialects over a long period of time."

Summary
A hand grabbed her arm.
The Winter woman looked up in frantic horror, locking eyes with the Summer man in purple-black. With the heat coming off his robes, she felt like her skin was starting to scorch. The Upper fae smiled at her. “You,” he said, the words somehow arriving in her mind soundlessly. The man pulled on his right to administrate this small universe, the so-precious knowledge he had about all the subjects in his realm. “Niki Nihachu.”
Her name, her name, her true name. It hit her mind like a lightning strike. Everything about her was illuminated, all the small directions and actions and decisions that made up a person, from the branch to the root in a single incandescent flare. And it was all under his control.
Her luck had just run out.
“I need you to hurt someone for me,” his voice said in her mind, and her body moved without her input. The Winter woman’s body stepped forward into a near-silent room, the only sounds footsteps clicking against the floor, the crackle of flame, and someone’s strangled sob.
OR: a day in the life of some of the staff of the Midday Court.

After a doomed encounter with dimensional magic, Satoru Gojo has gotten himself trapped in the prison realm- and he used his favorite student, Jujustu Academy golden boy Yuuta Okkotsu, to help him do it.
When social outcast Toge Inumaki finds Yuuta setting up camp in his library, he knows immediately that something is wrong. The unlikely pair decide to band together in order to save their beloved teacher, but time isn‘t on their side. They must work quickly to decode their teacher’s cryptic clues before the rest of the school discovers that Professor Gojo is missing and their window for rescue closes for good.
A doomed halloween party, a mysterious special grade ring, and a promise to unravel a centuries-long curse later, Toge and Yuuta begin to realize that their bond might transcend the mission that first brought them together.

Summary
“I hope you find yours someday, Yuji. It’s no good being alone.”
If his grandpa only knew, then he would not have been so earnest in his wish for Yuji to find his soulmate.
Well, soulmates. Because unlike most people, Yuji has two soulmarks.
AKA in which Yuji can see soulmarks and has two soulmates; communication is a three-way crossroads no one finds; and fate and choice are two sides of the same coin.
