Fics like The word for [you]

One day, your dearest friend in the universe asks you what your name is. You say, what, and do not tap a question. (This is one of many weird linguistic quirks you've picked up recently. It's one of your favourites. It's a funny way to be flat and vaguely judgemental, to imply nonplussed bafflement.) ~~ We all know how it is; you save each other's lives, you save each other's worlds, you undertake an interstellar journey with only each other for company, and then eventually you realise that you have no idea what the other person's name actually is.
