[littlemissneverseen]

Okay, so some time ago I wrote a solinh fanfic in french, and I thought I'd translate (and completely rewrite it) for the free day of @solinhweek.

(Please keep in mind I am not a native English speaker. I apologize in advance for any sentence worded weirdly or anything that doesn't seem right in English. It is also a bit purple-prosy and kinda cringe, so keep away if you don't like that.)

Anyways, here you go!

Falling rain - A solinh fanfiction

Pairing: Solinh (Sophie Foster x Linh Song) Genre: Angst Word count (Prologue & Chapter 1): Content warnings: Mentions of war, death, ... (let me know if I should add anything) Other: Established relationship, happens after canon events (they're both in their twenties)

Prologue "Good night," I whisper, without really believing it. But she deserves to hear those words, to see that she's safe. As safe as she can be, at least. Because I know that behind her closed eyelids and soft smile, behind her angelic face, the worst demons are tormenting her. War never left us. Not really. The memories always remain, hiding in the shadows, waiting for a good time to come back and haunt us. They're there when I end up in tears, remembering those I have lost and hating myself for surviving, for not having fought harder so they could be by my side. They're there when I wake up in the middle of the night scared not to find another person by my side. Scared that they took her too. They're there when I see a shadow in the calm of the night or reflections in the sunlight, a reminder of the electric glow of force fields. And I wonder if it will all start again. War beat me up, tortured me. And its grip never relaxed. They already took so much and can't wait to rip everything away from me again. I try to forget. But I see them everywhere. In a strand of blonde hair. The glow of a flame. A stretching shadow. In her eyes, filled with regrets and sorrows I know I will never be able to make her forget. In her tired and pale face. War never left us. Not really. The demons just managed to bury themselves deep within us. They make us regret, doubt. Why should I deserve to be happy if others cannot even be anymore? Sometimes, I let myself forget, for just a few moments. But panic always comes creeping back A call to order, a reminder of the haunting. It never ceases to whisper into my ear, it's breath on my neck. Everything is your fault. You could have saved them. You failed. And nothing you cherish will escape my claws. And often, I want to believe it.

Chapter 1 In the room's darkness, a figure carefully got up from the bed where she had been lying and turned on a light, casting a soft light onto the room and revealing photos ornating its walls. She approached a window and opened it with a slow and careful gesture. For a few instants, the young woman gazed outside, enjoying the silence of the night before leaning over the window sill to breathe in the soft scent the rain had left behind. The light raindrops were still falling, losing themselves in strands of Linh's hair, leaving her hair gorged with water and sticking to her face. Silently, she moved away from the window, closing it gently. She left the room, pausing only to replace the bed sheets over her sleeping partner. At that moment, the bed seemed like an island lost in the middle of a storm, like a shelter where you could curl up, keep warm, and ignore the raging storm outside. She drew a shaky breath, she needed to get out. "Sleep well," she murmured on her way out. She would have liked to say so much more. She would have liked to whisper all the words she never dared to speak. She would have liked to confide, to finally open up. She could have. She did nothing of it. Linh liked to think of herself as a flower, waiting for the perfect moment to bloom. But each passing day felt like another in an endless winter, spring seeming further and further away, the warmth of the sun's beam slipping further away from her grasp. So she stepped away, regretting everything she hadn't been able to say, every word that had stayed thought, every scream that had stayed whisper. She delicately closed the door y, adding another wall between her and Sophie. Another hurdle to overcome. An ocean between two worlds. She almost wished to make a sound, to wake Sophie from her slumber. Maybe then she'd finally confess her truth. Maybe then she'd share her sorrows and pain. Perhaps then she'd finally blossom. On her tiptoes, Linh descended the stairs, shivering at the contact with the cold tiled floor, which seemed like frozen blades sinking into her skin. She shook her head to get rid of the morbid image. It was only the floor. Only the cold, cold floor. She walked out, naked feet against damp grass. There, she felt the raindrops against her skin. The soft breeze of the wind. She turned, expecting to see some sort of danger, a monster from her worst nightmares. She saw nothing. It was only a breeze. Only the cold of the night. Only herself, in the menacing darkness, too familiar to be a true friend. But she was never really alone.

Please let me know if you liked it, I haven't written much in English and would appreciate the feedback.

If I don't change my mind and decide I hate this fic, I should upload the rest soon.

SOLINH WEEK IS AROUND MY BIRTHDAY LETS FLIPPING GOOOO

[bookwormgirl123]

@solinhweek how fun this has been! Here’s my final entry!

***

“Iggy!” Screeched Sophie Foster in sheer frustration. It was bathtime for her pet imp, Iggy, and yet - as all pets did on the cartoons Amy used to watch in the forbidden cities - he was strictly against the idea.

Sophie let out a huff of frustration as she lunged towards him, only for Iggy to dodge away at the last second.

It seemed that Iggy liked this particular dye job that Dex gave him.

***

Linh Song rang Havenfield’s doorbell, before stepping back into full view of the door, which was opened a few moments later by Edaline and Grady Ruewen.

“Mrs Ruewen, Mr Ruewen.” Linh greeted.

“Please, Grady and Edaline are fine.” Mr- Grady replied.

“Oh, okay.” Linh faltered slightly. “Is Sophie here?”

The couple exchanged a mischievous grin.

Linh faltered once more. “Is… is now a bad time?�� she asked.

“No, not at all.” Edaline said warmly. They welcomed her inside.

***

There was a gentle knock at the door just as Sophie crashed into the wall once more.

With a humph, she got up to get the door.

And immediately regretted how much of a mess she looked.

“Linh!” She gasped, flustered. Linh smiled gently. “Sophie!” she tilted her head and noticed the state that Sophie’s room was in, as well as the imp bouncing around gleefully. She asked the same question she had asked Sophie’s parents just a few moments ago: “Is now a bad time?”

Sophie’s eyes hardened. “No,” she shot a glare in Iggy’s direction. “Someone’s being stubborn.”

Linh giggled. “Well, maybe I can help you with that,” she said, making a ball of water appear in her hands.

A mischievous grin appeared on Sophie’s face. 

“Maybe.”

***

In the end, they did successfully bath Iggy - though by the state of themselves and Sophie’s bedroom, it was rather unclear who the bath was intended for.

Task successfully completed, they collapsed onto Sophie’s bed in a fit of giggles.

@solinhweek my previous entry was originally supposed to be a one-shot, but then you’re lovely host made a comment about if Sophie ate Oreos like sandwiches or if she peeled off the icing, and it’s all I could think about.

Sorry if the quality isn’t the best, I did write it in an afternoon.

***

“So, what are these cookies that you risked so much for?” Linh teased, gingerly opening the tin.

“They’re called Oreos,” Sophie replied.

Linh looked into the box, finding a stash of what looked like cookie sandwiches with a layer of icing in between.

She took one, careful not to break it - though it was not as fragile as she for some reason expected it to be. 

She took a bite, and an immediate smile spread across her lips. “This is really good!” She exclaimed. Sophie couldn’t help but chuckle at her excitement.

“Here!” Sophie replied excitedly, taking a cookie of her own. She pulled out her trusty dagger, Hope, and split the cookie in half, before using the knife to peel off the filling. “This is how I always ate them like this.”

Linh looked up at her with teasing curiosity. “I need to… peel off the icing with your knife?”

Sophie let out a full-on laugh at this. “No, silly! You can use your hands, I just didn’t want to get my germs all over your cookie.” 

Sophie carefully moved the dagger closer to her. Linh carefully peeled the filling off of the knife, before placing it in her mouth, which made her face light up as much as eating the first cookie did.

And that was how the rest of their date went, feeding each other Oreos and trying to figure out new ways to eat them.

***

Sophie “would risk her life to get Oreos for her gf” Foster x Linh “has that effect on people” Song (this was supposed to go on the last one help-)

[bookwormgirl123]

sooo I wrote this for Solinh Week

***

The irrationality, and, frankly, stupidity, of travelling all the way to the Forbidden Cities just to get her girlfriend some Oreos was just now beginning to sink in for Sophie Foster. She supposed Linh Song had that effect on people.

In her defense, what was Sophie supposed to do when Linh declared that she loved Edaline’s brownies that tasted incredibly similar to the human snack?

Not this, that’s for sure. She tried making them herself, she really did. It wasn’t her fault she was terrible in the kitchen! 

It was fine, Sophie told herself. She would be in and out of the store before anyone would notice she was gone, and in time for her date.

***

Surprisingly enough, pretty much everything went off without a hitch. Sure, she forgot to bring human money with her, but somehow she managed to sneak out a window without anyone noticing.

She rushed into Havenfield, the box of Oreos secure. She found a daintily painted tin that used to be Jolie’s, and figured that Linh would love it. 

Finally, Sophie found her favourite dress - a red sundress (because “red was her colour”, according to a Miss Biana Vacker) and applied some rouge to her lips. She considered adding more makeup, but decided against it.

She glance at the clock, and- Shit! She was late.

Box in hand, she rushed towards the door.

***

When she got to the fountain, Linh was sitting on the edge, playing with the water.

“Linh!” Sophie gasped. Linh turned around, and her cheeks reddened slightly upon seeing the box. “Oh!” she said. “I didn’t realize we were supposed to bring presents!”

“What! No-” Sophie took a deep breath, before telling the entire story.

By the end, Linh looked simultaneously concerned and flattered, before bursting into elegant little giggles. “Sophie!” she gasped softly. “You went all the way down to the Forbidden Cities to get me some cookies?” 

Sophie blushed slightly. “Well, yes, but-” she broke off. There was no “but”.

At this, Linh began giggling once more, before tucking a stray strand of hair behind Sophie’s hair. “I’m just glad you’re safe,” she whispered.
