I think I do understand why Jiwan is scared. Why she asked Sol, “but if we date and then we break up… what will we do then? I don’t what that to happen.” bc she is afraid.Jiwan is scared that dating Sol would inevitably mean losing her because none of her previous relationships have lasted.
which is why she thinks that if they do start dating, Sol would also eventually get over her and leave her. And she cannot fathom not having Sol in her life.
But Sol reassuring her that she doesn’t need to worry, that even if they don’t date, nothing will change between them. Sol lowering herself physically in front of Jiwan, getting down on one knee and taking Jiwan’s hands in hers and looking Jiwan in the eyes as she promises that she will still like jiwan no matter what. and initiating a hug between them because she knows Jiwan’s love language is physical affection, is a lot.
and Jiwan’s expression when Sol hugs her, the little gasp she lets out at as Sol reassures her that Jiwan doesn’t have to worry about losing her at all, she will like jiwan no matter what…
even if they get the korrasami treatment and just hold hands with their fingers intertwined and smile and be happy with each other doing mundane things in the epilogue, even if it isn’t explicitly stated (which I would love for it to be, but. given circumstances, I understand.) I think its okay.
Because the narrative sprinkles in the fact that least Nabi knows about them already, bc
a) Jiwan went to her for advice. It was her feeling insecure and wondering if you date someone and then you break up then you lose one half of your soul and Nabi reassuring her that if this person is already one half of your soul then you must mean a lot to them as well, they must feel very strongly about you too. Maybe this person also feels the way you are feeling right now. So talk to them. After which Jiwan DID.
b) that the next day when she sees Sol, Nabi tells Sol that happiness looks good on her, and that it isn’t that Jiwan told her or that Jiwan was being obvious about it but that Sol’s happiness is more obvious as well. Nabi clearly knows who Jiwan was talking about. Especially since she was also there when Jiwan ran away from the room whe Nabi was talking to Sol. Nabi knows.
And Nabi at least, really supports them wholeheartedly.
I mean, look at them.
Sol’s smile when she huge Jiwan?? The way Jiwan beams back??? There is no heterosexual explaination for this.
They are together. In every sense of the word.
The only way to make this better is to let them have at least one good honest kiss …and I’ll be alright.
welcome!!!!!! this is long overdue. i’ve been promising myself i’d made this forever. so here it is - the ultimate masterpost of wlw (women loving women) books. not all characters are lesbians, some are bi or pan, though all books feature f/f relationships and/or themes. there are 150+ recommendations, so enjoy!
