Title: Words My Mother Taught Me by stickmarionette
Fandom: Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
Character/Pairing: Rachel Chu, Kerry Chu, Eleanor Young
Word Count: 5616
Summary: "This whole thing with Nick's family left her feeling distinctly clumsy, wishing that her Mandarin was better, less stilted, and that she had the instinctive understanding of their world that felt like her birthright.
To the Chinese, 'who are you' meant 'who are your people?'
For years, Rachel's only root was her mom, and through her, she learned words and phrases and meaning, and took them for herself like she was covering some classic song. And somehow her cover got through to Eleanor."
Why I Rec This Fic: I think the cultural differences/clash both in terms of class/money and disapora is the most interesting aspect in the movie, so I am happy that this fic exist.

十指连心
"Uh - the fingers link to the heart? Is that it?"
"Yes. Very good, Daughter."
"But what does it mean?"

Kerry ruffled her hair, laughing at her escape attempt. "It means that you're very very precious to me, like you're a part of my body. Connected to my heart."

Summary: "It’s just... I tried the whole Cinderella thing, and all I ended up with was a broken shoe, y’know?"
AU where Nick never does the second proposal, where Nick stays, while Rachel goes back to New York, and Astrid… Well.
Why I Rec This Fic: When I seen the movie I almost wished there had been no second proposal or that Rachel turned Nick down at it, because it would have been a great end for her small arc – the other alternative ending I wanted was Rachel/Astrid – this fic seems to agree that this are more statisfying for Rachels character, I like that.

Summary: "Astrid has over a dozen apartment buildings, more than a few which would make it easy for Michael to visit Cassian on the weekends."
Why I Rec This Fic: The cute post canon stuff they deserve, moving in together and raising the kid.

“Are you here for Nick’s stuff? There’s a box- I meant to mail it, it’s fragile and going that far-”
“No,” Astrid interrupts. “Do you want to get a drink?”
Rachel raises an eyebrow, not smiling but at least her face is moving again. “Don’t tell me you flew all the way here for drinks. That would be ridiculous.”
Astrid nods, “That would be. Especially since the subway is much faster than a helicopter downtown.”
“What- are you- did you move?”
“I’ll be living here for a while.”
Astrid’s using her sincerely happy tone- even half means it- but Rachel sees through her, and suddenly they’re hugging. (She didn’t even realize how much she needed this, or maybe Rachel in general, feels like she can breathe for the first time since that night on the beach.)

Summary: Astrid and Rachel dance.

They danced in silence, only the faintly sounds coming from the living room filled the silence in the kitchen. Rachel out her head on Astrid’s shoulder as she leads the dance, or more likely they were just swaying back and forth.
“You know…” Rachel trailed off.
Astrid hummed.
“Despite everything that happened,” Rachel sighed deeply. “I can say that I’m happy now. Or at least
starting to be happy.”
“Happiness is an on-going process, Rachel. It’s okay, take your time.”
“Will you be there with me in every step of the way?” Rachel stopped the dance, looking at Astrid with a tender look.

Summary: "Rachel knew that this was more than just adopting a child together, more than just becoming a mother again. It was… everything."
Why I Rec This Fic: Just sweet fluff.

“What should her name be?”
“Something regal,” Eleanor said. Rachel rolled her eyes and snickered.
“She’s so little, though. We have to pick a name that she can grow into,” Rachel said into the long neck beside her, kissing gently.
“I was a very small baby and my father still gave me the name ‘Eleanor’.”
“So, you think we should name her ‘Eleanor’?” Rachel chuckled.
“You’re being impossible,” Eleanor said, but she didn’t sound very upset.
