"Natürlich ruft Basti keine Nummer an, die er auf einem Kaffeebecher gefunden hat. Wahrscheinlich war es auch eher als Metapher gemeint. Stattdessen schreibt er, wie jede normale Person es tun würde, die Nummer einfach an."

Summary
Harrowhark, who Gideon had always assumed had despised her for her loud, unapologetically weird gender stuff, and who was now a fucking girl, the hypocritical little shit.
---
Gideon's finally got her life on track. She's transitioned, she has people she can rely on, and she's gotten into University. And then an awful, terrible, no good hate-goblin from her past reappears and throws her through a loop by also having transitioned.
Harrow has her work, her life's purpose, and no time for distractions. She also has her secrets, and no intention to share them with anyone. And then the execrable Gideon Nav blunders back into her life and threatens calamity.

Lost in Translation (Patching the UT) by sayler_antimony

Summary
A look into the Personal Logs of a Linguist on Deep Space Nine, who is uncovering the funniest and sweetest translation errors, and trying to patch the UT along the way.
***
And if you had asked Lieutenant Wittgenstein, who was currently tasked with the next report on the use of the UT on Deep Space Nine, which was a special case, what with all the Gamma Quadrant languages mingling in the matrix now, nevermind the decidedly casual language the UT was being exposed to at Quarks, she could have told you a number of things. The UT memory bank transcripts, heavily encrypted and for the linguists’ eyes only, of course, were littered with missed moments, lost meanings, and mix-ups. For instance…- Language:

Summary
Based on DS9's 'The Muse', where Odo and Lwaxana get married to free her from her controlling Tavnian husband.
Tavnians had a very different way of expressing 'love' to the languages Odo knew. His native Bajoran had several words, some ambiguous (one form could refer to a friend just as easily as it could to a sexual partner), others with unmistakeable clarity (the word used to express parental affection for small children, for example, or the form used in love poetry). The Cardassian terms were neatly partitioned, with a simplicity he'd appreciated conducting questionings on Terok Nor: love for Cardassia, love for peers, love for spouse, love for family (younger and older). Federation Standard, for a language that prided itself on clarity, had one maddeningly ambiguous word that could mean damn near anything it wanted to.
Tavnians also only had one word, but it was far more specific. It was only to be used in the 'strong masculine' register, and could refer to any prized possession. That possession sometimes happened to be the speaker's wife.
