Summary
"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."

"Perhaps they've always been friends, just never noticed it in between all the other things going on. But somewhere along the lines, they've crossed over from just being acquaintances."
Madame Gina and Porco continue on post-canon. Vibes.

Lost in Translation (Patching the UT) by sayler_antimony
Fandoms: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
30 Dec 2023

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.

The Universe Was Suddenly Ours by same_asiteverwas

Summary
“That’s right. And I’ve got a proposition for you all. It’s a big ask, I know, but I’ve been thinking about it since they locked me away. I want to start a magazine of our own. I’m calling it Defiant.”
“A new magazine?” Kay breathed.
“The kind of magazine that’s not afraid to publish stories about Negro captains and strong heroines,” said Benny. “One not beholden to the likes of Pabst and the owners. We’d be the owners.”

Summary
Fio pushed down the trigger on the shift, and frowned when it clicked, but didn't fire.
"Watch it," muttered Porco, "it's still loaded."
Or, Fio stays.
Or, I didn’t like the ending of the movie, so Porco becomes a dad
