    Summary

    “Stop terrorising her on her birthday, she’s scared enough of you as it is.”

    Javadi lets out another mortified squeak. “I am not! Dr. Garcia, I am not.

    “And stop groping me in front of her,” she continues, ignoring the protest. “Her eyes are gonna pop out of her skull if you move that hand any higher.”

    yolanda sticks true to her promise of trying to get to know trinity's friends, with varying degrees of success

    Summary

    “ if, perchance, you should grieve at all, let her not perceive it;
    and laugh when, within yourself, you could have wept.
    — Ovid, Remedia Amoris

    The thing about the words we say, even the ones we mean to say, is that we can never really tell how completely they might unravel a life. And for Yolanda Garcia, who has built herself carefully around discipline, distance and the absolute refusal to need anybody at all, it only takes one badly timed sentence for everything to begin coming apart.

    aka my take on post series 2 Garsantos and how Yolanda and trinity might come back together again.

    Summary

    Memory can be funny like that. Trinity looks at her and remembers the Yolanda from months ago, sat across from her with a drink in hand, their knees brushing every time one of them leaned in to say something. The dim lighting of the bar had softened her eyes, painting her face into an expression that could almost be mistaken for the same longing that echoed inside Trinity’s chest.

    A lot can change in ten months. Not all of it for the better.

    Or: It happens in increments, like all the worst things do.

    Summary

    “So, what’s your plan?” Garcia took another pull on her beer.

    “My plan?” Trinity was pretty sure eating a burger didn’t require a plan.

    “The flooded apartment. You do have a plan, don’t you?” Garcia asked.

    “Uh, yeah. Of course.” Trinity started peeling the label off of her beer bottle. “Of course, I have a plan.” She shrugged. Garcia didn’t need to know that the plan didn’t extend past going back to her car and then, well, she didn’t know.

    Garcia looked at her for a long moment before she blinked and took a sip of her beer. “You’re lying.”

    “What?” Trinity recoiled. How could Garcia possibly know that?

    “I’m going to buy you dinner. We’re going to walk back to the hospital. I’m going to leave you at your car, and then what? What’s the plan after that? Where are you sleeping tonight?”


    A pipe bursts in Trinity's apartment. Does she tell anyone? Of course not. Garcia rescues her, but Trinity's trauma makes that difficult.

    Also, there was only one bed.
