Dont Speak

by fatale

The Alpha pack has systematically attacked Stiles and his friends for months, testing their strengths and weaknesses. When one of the Alphas goes after Stiles, he awakens in the hospital and realizes that something's wrong. Very wrong. All sounds seem to hurt him, he can't understand what anyone is saying, and when he tries to speak, it's gibberish. How is he supposed to deal with the fact that he's lost the ability to communicate with his dad and his friends? Without his ability to talk, his sarcasm, and his wit, what does Stiles even have left? Enter Derek, the only one who seems to make it better.

Attack on Titan

Words Cannot Describe

by folaigh

People had always said that Eren wasn’t right in the head. As a kid, it didn’t bother him. But hearing those words now stung in a way he could never have imagined. A canon-verse, sort of slice-of-life future fic in which Levi gets a well-deserved break, Eren deals with some haters, and they both prove that while communication is sometimes difficult, understanding can occur with just a little patience, effort, and care.

sun in an empty room

by ashavahishta

Eddie’s lucky he was watching, to be honest. Lucky that he wasn’t turned away to talk to someone else. But he is watching, closely enough to see Buck’s eyes slide out of focus mid-sentence, his fingers losing their grip on the water glass he had just picked up.

All In A Spin

Wished On The Morning Star

by Cerusee

The pile of blankets stirred at the sound of Steph’s voice, and the person—a boy—no, not a boy, a teenager, but not a very big one—sat up and looked vaguely in her direction. More past her, than at her, but she could see his face clearly enough. Steph froze in shock. “Oh my god,” she whispered. It wasn’t possible. But she’d spent enough time looking at pictures of him, from his file, in Alfred’s photo albums, from the framed portrait on the wall...she knew that face.

The Resocialization of Xie Lian

by fullmetalpotterhead

Hua Cheng finally finds his god after six centuries of searching, but something is wrong. He’s not sure what, but he’ll be there every step of the way while he recovers. Xie Lian escaped the coffin, but his mind feels slow to react or recall. Words and social manners feel harder to reach than usual. He’ll get there eventually though, he always does. Especially since for some reason a patient ghost seems especially attached to helping him.
