    The problem is that they both really, really, really don't want to. 

    -

    Summary

    "It was more like a SecUnit than a bot, so much so I wondered if it was a construct, if there was cloned organic brain tissue buried in its systems somewhere."

    Summary

    A collection of short stories about Ryland Grace if he was Deaf. Less a cohesive and linear story told in small pieces, and more a handful of fics all orbiting around one idea.

    I'm hearing, and my knowledge of sign language and Deaf culture is limited to what I learned in my classes and my conversations with d/Deaf people. If I made any mistakes or misrepresented anything, please tell me! My goal is to be as accurate as possible and I mean no disrespect.

    Summary

    “When we first met, I thought you were putting on that accent to sound more impressive. Oh. Oh, Jon… I’m so sorry.”

    “Oh… No, it’s alright. I, er, I mean, I-I guess I did exaggerate it. It’s a long time ago, anyway.”

    Something old and shameful curls up in his gut, before he asks, “Proof?”

    ***

    Jonathan Sims, and his voice, and suppression, and silence.
