    Summary

    Trinity Santos has spent the last three summers working on the Sirocco. It's her last summer as lead deck hand before medical school and one good tip could be the difference between a fall start and the saved deferral form on her laptop.

    When Yolanda and Baran charter the yacht for their tenth anniversary, Trinity learns that the most dangerous guests aren't the cruel ones; they're the ones who make being taken care of feel like something she might not have to pay back.

    Summary

    After her father’s sudden death, Trinity returns to her childhood home in Boulder, Colorado; a place of manicured lawns, suppressed trauma, and the conservative family she has long kept at arm’s length. Yolanda accompanies but only after agreeing to Trinity's terms that they pose as friends, forcing their long-term relationship to become a secret. What begins as a brief trip to organize a funeral stretches into an indefinite stay when Trinity’s brothers guilt her into staying behind to care for their mother. As the days turn into weeks, Yolanda remains at Trinity’s side, but their relationship begins to feel the effects of being tucked away for too long. As Trinity's ghosts from Boulder grow increasingly relentless, she and Yolanda must confront whether their relationship can survive the turbulence, or if they should have abandoned ship long ago.

    or

    Trinity brings Yolanda to her childhood home with the requirement that they hide their relationship from her conservative family. The ramifications of that choice quickly make themselves clear as their relationship is challenged.

    It's "Happiest Season" but in the summer, with a death in the family, a (somewhat) healthier relationship, and no Aubrey Plaza.

    Summary

    The scar running down the side of Yolanda’s face is an ever-present reminder of her Games. Nothing in her body language gives Trinity a hint of what she’s feeling when she looks at Trinity and purses her lips.

    “Hi Trinity,” her voice comes out too rough around the edges. Too sharp. Like she hasn’t used Trinity’s name in a while. “You can’t just seem to stay away from me, can you?”

    or

    In her brother's stead, Trinity volunteers for Panem's 74th Hunger Games.

    (She doesn't realize that doing so means having to face the one person she'd hoped to never see again).

    (or, alternatively: a garsantos-as-on-and-off-exes hunger games au).

    Summary

    Trinity was supposed to be off the clock in an hour when she got dragged into an incoming trauma. She never expected to end up holding a live rocket lodged in the patient’s chest.

    With every second that passes, Trinity realizes that if the bomb goes off, the one thing she’ll regret most is leaving behind the woman she loves without ever telling her.

    Inspired by @lilpaigeyyy on twitter and Grey's Anatomy season 2 episodes 16 & 17.

    Summary

    A month after a brutal Fourth of July shift and a quiet fallout with Garcia, Trinity Santos does what she does best, throws herself into work and tries not to think about anything else.

    Then a burn patient with dark red hair and an easy smile walks into her ER.

    At first, the flirting feels harmless. The chance encounters feel like coincidence.

    The problem is… she keeps showing up.
