Bilingual Bonus / The Pieces Lie Where They Fell

• Bilingual Bonus: Multiple characters have a tendency to slip into their native language - Spanish/Burroñeso, Greek, and on one occasion, German/Hosstrian (plus a few bits of Latin). Translations are here, by chapter (and may also be found at the end of the chapters on Archive of Our Own):
