Oh man, I did not realize how much I needed this story until I saw the summary. This is SO GOOD. I love how you incorporated all the "canon" bits but made them work for a deaf Jon. The way Stephen talks to Jon is too adorable/sweet/adjectives that are good.
But my favorite bits would be 1. Jon reminiscing oh so briefly about the college standup. And 2. "he realized one particular string of sounds from his mother matched up with the letters he signed on all his drawings, that that was the noise meaning him..." That was lovely. Ahhh I LOVE THIS VERSE. I can't wait to see the rest of this! :D
(Also this AU brings me new joy whenever I think about Jon's "call me!" bit about Bloomberg's ASL interpreter from last year.)
