Imagine if, instead of martial arts, bending was expressed through sign language. That's the premise of "Speech Acts" and it executes it with a concise brilliance. The fic does expressly what it needs to in order to convey its premise, show thin slices of canon to demonstrate the alternate universe. A lovely one shot with imaginative worldbuilding.
Brilliant execution of its premise
