Hoobaale

Summary:

Pearson Hardman isn't quite the same without Mike and Mike isn't quite the same without Pearson Hardman. But they will make it work. Somehow.

Notes:

The opening Somali and title comes from the song "Hoobaale" by K'naan. It has a very unique sound and some of the lyrics really struck a chord with me when I first heard it. The translated section is one of the few that translates well into English, but the overall message of the verse is something like: I know that my country is not perfect. It has its flaws and despite them, I love my home and would fight for it.

I may go back and add/edit the archive warnings once I get more written but, as of now, none apply. At the most, I'd probably add one for violence, just to err on the side of caution.

Less seriously, I'm going to try my hardest to get into a regular updating schedule with this one. I'm seriously cutting back the amount of time I spend in the lab so once I get my work schedules I should be able to sit down and set aside a block of time dedicated solely to this.

Chapter Text

“Inaa dhiig dhulkene u hurna way haboontahaye.”

I would shed blood for my country and, if necessary, die for it.
