orange!verse fic: Halo
Nov. 2nd, 2014 07:27 pmI'm posting this fic for ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ysabetwordsmith. As far as I'm concerned, it's still barter. :) It introduces two refugees now on the Canadian side of the border, both Resistance members and medics. If anyone recognizes who they, or a few referenced friends, might be in some other universe(s) or other, well. You're probably right.
Trigger warning for allusions to sexual violence and references to associated trauma, as well as information on the legality of interracial marriage in this America's south. The sexual violence trigger warning extends to the notes, because there's full-on character-related information about it there.
( Halo )
Notes are here:
*The title comes from the Beyonce song of the same name. The reasoning behind it is a long story.
*Doc and Sister speak, think, and code switch effortlessly and constantly in English, Cajun Bayou French, and Kreyol Lwyziann. Doc tends a little more toward Bayou French, Sister a little more toward Kreyol, but they're both fluent in all three languages.
Translations:
Un, dé, trwa: One, two, three.
Mo tu fais confiance: I trust you.
Nou travaillons bien ensemble: We work well together.
dieu mèsi: thank God
merci beaucoup: thank you very much
Il est bien, sa bon: It's good.
*Sister is homosexual and black, Doc is grey-biromantic grey demi-bisexual and white.
*Sister is a survivor of rape, committed by an American border patrol agent during her first attempt at crossing into Canada.
*In this universe, Sister's real name is Sharice.
*In this universe, Doc's real name is Antoine Bernard.
*Doc can call Sister Sharice whenever he likes. Helen and sometimes Sandy or Leigh get a pass too, as does Eric when he's clowning around, but Doc is the only one who isn't likely to weird her out or otherwise unsettle her by using her real name.
*Sister is the only one who really calls Doc Antoine-Bernard or Twan-Bernard. She usually does so when not too many other people, or nobody else at all, are listening. She knows, and he knows she knows, that he's not ashamed of his given name. She just feels strange throwing it around, somehow.
*These two can and do work separately, and do so well. They have a strong platonic partnership, however, separate from any other relationships one or the other might get into. They're working partners and best friends at the same time, and that improves both aspects rather than causing them to conflict.
