Summary
Jensen is awfully rich and awfully lonely. Being a boss of one of the biggest companies in the city doesn't help creating any relationships at work, his family is long gone, and the true love thing doesn't really seem to apply to him.
That's why he ends up wandering through the city on Christmas Eve, considering whether he should get drunk at home or in a bar, while some kind of sixth sense leads him straight to the Russian Embassy where a drama much more real and much more serious than his personal problems is happening.
No one could be so heartless to compare a simple loneliness to the homelessness and true abandonment...Series

You return with a massive crush on a creature with soft scales and sharp eyes.
Such is the way, isn't it?I needed a request to get used to how NaNoWriMo's website worked, and this was my warmup piece. This is not meant for like... any reader. Very specifically tailored to my best friend, enmity-encountered. But! It came out well enough that I wanted to post it, like a child hanging artwork on a fridge.

Summary
Caleb squinted at the drow, vision still not entirely focused, and reached a hand up to brush against the other man's face. His cheek was slightly cold to the touch - which he had expected - however, he also found it to be streaked with a damp trail.
Caleb frowned. "Don't tell me this is because of me."

Or, Essek nurses Caleb back to health on the battlefield while teaching him some Undercommon.

Summary
“You have a lovely mole,” Yusuf said. Nicolò didn’t catch his last word. He looked at him questioningly.
Yusuf tapped on his mole gently as he rinsed his blade. “Mole,” he repeated in Arabic.
“Mole,” said Nicolò in Zeneize. Then he tried to imitate the Arabic word.
Yusuf smiled at his effort. His dimples were showing. It felt like a discovery every time Nicolò saw them.
Nicolò didn’t know what possessed him when he reached out to touch that spot and said, “Dimple.” in Zeneize.
“Dimple,” repeated Yusuf and of course he did perfect the first time. He said the word back in Arabic. Nicolò tried to repeat it. By the way Yusuf smiled, it looked like he did a passable job.
Then it’s all over too quickly. Yusuf scooped some water and rinsed Nicolò’s face, then used his own shirt to dab it. “All done,” he said.
Then their eyes locked and something else, something that in hindsight felt inevitable, shifted.

“Excuse me.” Eijun is already slipping the glove from his hand. “I refuse to pitch if you won’t seriously consider me ace worthy.” He could feel the pang in his chest - he had dreams. “Contact me when you’re ready for the best pitcher in America.” And with such a bold accusation everyone was turning heads, jaws dropped, eyes wide, Sawamura Eijun had a thumb jutted towards himself.
“Talk to me when you’re ready for an ace!”

Yuri enjoys learning languages as long as he doesn't have to sit in some stuffy useless class for it. The problem with signing up for language exchange servers is that he's a bit famous and doesn't want to be matched with an Angel who spends the whole time squeeing at him and not teaching him anything. Phichit provides a workaround, and Yuri is ready to test it out.

i completely reworked all my main splatoon 3 ocs kill me
Language barriers are fun. You never know exactly what the other is saying, what exactly is happening.. dear cod, is that even the same word? Unfortunately, none of these fellows are from Splatsville, and the only Inkling in the group knows only a little bit of Octarian, and the eldest Octoling only knows a limited amount of Inklish. But they have great synergy.. so it's time to feel like you're in school again for two of us.
..or:
I'm currently struggling in my foreign language (Spanish) class so I decided to show a snippet of my OCs past where they had no idea what the other team members were saying :skull:
