Can I Has Recs Plz?

This is likely the wrong place to ask, but I thought I'd start here as I trust y'all :-)

I've been in a strange fic-reading mood lately and am craving something specific. I'm currently in pursuit of a fic in any fandom I follow that involves characters that suddenly can't speak for some reason (trauma, magic, etc.); can be temporary or permanent. Preferably something with insane amounts of h/c and slash, but I'll take anything good. I know there are tons out there but I've only read a few and want more.

Examples...

Harry Potter:
Concubine (Draco becomes a magical creature, a concubine, and is unable to speak due to trauma/orders)

Buffy: the Vampire Slayer:
Sock Puppet (Post-series, Xander encounters a turned-human Spike who is rather crazy and utterly uncommunicative *loves*)
Unspoken (Spike returns to Buffy after the end of the series but he's unable to speak & Buffy is determined to figure out why)

Star Wars AR:
Buying Trouble (Qui-Gon's character buys Obi-Wan's character as a slave, but Obi-Wan's character doesn't speak the language)


Anybody have any recs for me? Please? And if not... read and enjoy the above. heehee!

If you're still trying to scratch this particular itch, I'd give the highest possible recommendation to "Liars and Visionaries" by woebetidesweets. The catch is this- it's a My Chemical Romance fic. You may or may not like the fandom, but the fic doesn't require you to; it's completely AU. It's excruciating and lovely, and the end is stunning- a story I go back to again and again. I envy anyone the experience of reading it for the first time. Link is here:
