for the google brain dirk au, will dirk ever regain his power of speaking? (also will there ever be a fic where jake gets whipped, he'd look great taking a lashing)
You know, they say the two most difficult things to write in this world are comedy and sex, and I unfortunately put all my talent points into the comedy tree. I’ll often use sex as a facilitator of plot but ultimately I wouldn’t say it’s a strength of mine, at least not past vanilla or vagueties. There’s lots of great DirkJake writers who do write kink stuff, though, and I’m sure they’d be happy to indulge in this kind of thing. Not saying it’s a bad look ;), just that I’m Bad At Erotica. I have to write a sex scene for my work about once a week and I always [panic].As for your main question: he does not! Jake learns ASL and they work up to full communication and knowledge-release though that. I think HIC has a scan of Dirk’s brain that can still speak, but she will soon learn creating an AI of Dirk was definitely, definitely a mistake.

I wrote much of that AU in response to asks about it, some of which may have been untagged because tagging asks is a hassle, so it will probably take me a bit to find all the bits of it and piece it together. I definitely want to do that, though! It just turns out that going through my old work is a bigger project than expected.
