    Summary

    A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, and extra, extra worldbuilding.

    ***

    One day, his strumming was not answered.

    The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.

    (He was going to die out here. Alone.)

    Summary

    Barely coping with a devastating loss, Hakuji is meandering through life. Despite taking over Keizo's dojo, he knows he's not living the way Koyuki and Keizo would have wanted for him.

    Then a half-dead siren washes up on the beach, and for the first time in years, Hakuji has someone he needs to stay alive for, someone he needs to take care of.

    And despite waking up in a bizarre new place, barely alive after a brutal fight, Kyojuro can't help but be intrigued by the human that dragged him home with him.

    Summary

    Some things, it turns out, are easier to admit in the wrong language.

    In Spanish, in Dutch, in words that feel just distant enough to be safe, you can admit truths you'd never dare to say in English. Because it doesn't count if you don't say it in English, right?

    Summary

    Be it today, tomorrow, or decades from now redemption for Thel’Vadam would only ever come down the barrel of a gun.
    Unless he was presented with an honorable sword to fall on first.

    The Arbiter makes a sacrifice, but only by his own bad luck could it have possibly led to being stranded on an alien planet, bringing the Flood with him, and his only option for backup being a local teenager who's mutant bird mount he just killed.
    The language barrier doesn't help.

    Summary

    Grace was no linguist, he'd actually argue that he was sub-par for the course.
    Rocky, despite claims of his 'superior language skills' was not a linguist, either.
    As a result, over the course of their years in space together, the two went through a few misunderstandings.

    (aka 3 times Rocky corrected a misunderstanding Grace had due to their language barrier, +1 time Grace was the one to correct Rocky)

    Summary

    Prowl could have been having a much worse day. (75%.)
    Prowl could have also been having a much better day. (43.8%.)

    Overall, his day was approaching ‘not great.’

    You could make a case for said ‘not great’-ness starting when he first accidentally warped into an experimental Quintesson weapons base with violently angry little foot soldiers that seemed to have a love for biting at anything they could reach, but Prowl really considered it starting when the unfamiliar mech limped at unsafe speeds into the desecrated room with him.

    Summary

    Aether's so tired everything goes in one ear and out the other (second, or third, or 1000th languages are hard), and he eventually just collapses for a nap. Meanwhile Paimon tries her best to make sure he's well-rested and unbothered. But the gods are against that idea, with Paimon having to battle her way through Mondstadt (figuratively) to protect her traveler's nap. Everything is out of concern, but chaos ensues anyway.

    Summary

    Despite, or perhaps because of, the frantic rise and fall of the Darkling's chest where he flattened himself against the wall, Avan adopted a disarmingly tranquil smile as he inched closer with a hand offered in silent compromise. They had no desire to harm anyone who freely surrendered.

    Summary

    Pedro is nobody important. He is a broke boy from San Telmo, working in a bar, speaking the wrong languages, and trying to survive a life that has never offered him much tenderness. Then one night, Emmanuel Macron walks into his world, and everything begins to change.

    What follows is not a fairy tale but a secret life built on distance, desire, class difference, shame, and the dangerous imbalance between being loved and being kept. Pedro is taken from Buenos Aires to Paris, hidden in elegant rooms he does not know how to inhabit, learning French word by word while waiting for a man who belongs more to history, power, and the public than he will ever belong to Pedro.

    As their relationship deepens, fractures, and turns cruel in all the ways love can, Pedro is forced to ask what he is to the President of France: a lover, a weakness, a mistake, a passing refuge, or something far more difficult to name. Around them, politics keeps moving, and so do the people closest to power. Gabriel Attal and Stéphane Séjourné circle through the same world with their own history of ambition, loyalty, loss, and desire, reminding Pedro that love near power is never simple, and never private.

    Summary

    In this alternative universe, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov grew up both in Canada, on the same street, in the same school and rink, on the same first peewee team.

    Ilya Rozanov is the youngest son of Russian General and Diplomat Grigoryevich Rozanov. At five, he’s confused as to why they have to leave Russia, but everyone knows better than to voice an opinion in his house. So he packs his things and hopes Canada doesn’t suck too much and he can play hockey. And maybe his Mama will be happier there. If only that annoying Canadian kid would stop being so...sunshiny.

    Shane Hollander is the only son of Canadian David Hollander and Japanese Yuna Hollander, and he speaks both languages fluently. He adores hockey and he adores his country. He loves Wilbrod Street because everyone looks different and speaks different here, so he never stands out and there's always new friends to be made. And he thinks he might also adore the new boy his age that just moved in across the street.

    On/off, Russia/Canada, always in between.
    They still find their way back to each other, across years and border lines.
