Summary:
The purr is called urvishulahdh. The cultural anthology tells him that it can be used to calm children, or even as a self-soothing mechanism, but it is most common between family members as an expression of contentment, tranquility, peace. Clark stares at the 3D anatomy diagram of the throat, the auxiliary vocal cords layered underneath the human-like main set, as they slowly vibrate, and asks the Fortress in halting Kryptonian to play the associated audio. Kryptonians purr. Clark purrs, and then doesn't. Until he needs to.

Submitter's comment:
A new facet of alienness to explore for Clark/Superman, inhuman alien sounds that represent emotions all too familiar. Another facet Clark has had to learn to hide, and another facet he can learn to let out. The writing in this fic is so striking, it cuts to my core emotionally and I adore re-reading it!
