Summary
"Oh, Rukia, dear," Rukia's aunt said, sounding so genuinely earnest and cheerful that it made the situation even more bizarre than it already was. "You should have told me that this young man here is your intended! I wouldn't have made such a ruckus if I'd known," she chuckled.
"What," Ichigo finally found his voice. "Intended—"
The aunt turned to him before he could demand to know what the fuck was happening.
"Oh, dear, I'm so sorry for my early behaviour!" she chirped. "I didn't know you're going to be part of the family! Byakuya, you must tell me everything about this engagement. He has the Shiba look, doesn't he?"
Byakuya's face became so incredibly pinched at his aunt's comment that it wasn't a wonder that his next words were through gritted teeth. "That's because he is one."
"How wonderful! Congratulations to the both of you."
Ichigo took his cue from Rukia and dredged up a smile for the crazy aunt. Byakuya beckoned Shigeko with a smooth movement of his hand, and they made their way to the library. When they rounded the corner and were out of earshot, silence reigned between them for a moment before Ichigo finally turned to look at her.
"Rukia," he said. "What the fuck."

Summary
Ichigo has learned many languages throughout his life, some more abstract than others. Even when he went from a novice learning from library books to fluent as he bled for his loved ones, he still floundered at times.
Thankfully, he has dear ones to help him.
(Prompt from the Karakura Town Discord: Character A needs help with their workload. Character B doesn’t get why they’re having such a hard time. (I tweaked this prompt so much because I have so many headcanons that I want to explore.))

Summary
Where hobbits didn't forget their nomadic culture and remembered who they are.
Hobbits were created from earth and plant. They were the children of Aule and Yavanna, made in celebration of their bonding. They knew the earthen tongue. Plant and earth come to their aid.
What would the journey to Erebor be like with a female Bilbo who knew a little about surviving?
or --
Basically me combining my desire to make Hobbits their own race (which means they get a gift of their own from Eru since all of his children get something cool), having a female Bilbo while making what happens sort of realistic as Gandalf is apparently known to take a lad or Lass of into the blue for an adventure, and making hobbits actually have a culture the reflects their past nomadic life.
