Summary
Trinity fumbled hard when it came to Garcia. Hard enough that every surgical consult has her considering dropping a scalpel into her own foot just to get out of it. But when the night shift attending finds herself on day shift with a discerning eye and a hint of a smirk, Trinity's intrigued. And when she says she knows exactly how to make Garcia jealous, Trinity jumps at the chance. Though... Maybe not for the best of reasons.

Summary
Yolanda and Trinity have no idea what they're getting themselves into when they invite both Emery Walsh and Samira Mohan to tag along to their pseudo-road trip to three medical conferences. At first, they have no idea what they're looking at. Emery hates most people, but the snark and eye-rolling seem especially pointed at Samira. And then they work it out. Long before Emery and Samira do.
And what kind of friends would they be, if they didn't give the two a little push?

Summary
Trinity Santos thinks love languages are bullshit. She proclaims so loudly, the first time she hears the term. No one loves in just one way, and sometimes she doesn’t believe love exists at all. Which is what makes to fucking hard for Yolanda to get it through her skull that the flirting she's been not so subtly doing for the entire time they've known each other? It's not a joke.
Aka the five ways Yolanda creeps in on the edges of her life without her even noticing, and the moment the penny drops.

Summary
Cassandra McKay does not believe in bad omens. Doesn’t think that burnt toast theory is a real thing. Isn’t superstitious. So when the mirror in her ensuite breaks as she’s brushing her teeth, she doesn’t think about bad luck, just curses as she thinks about the cost of getting something like that replaced. Moves on to the night shift she picked up. But when an accident hits a little too close to home and Dana doesn't pick up the phone, she spirals.

Summary
i think you mean what you say / when you say you want to stay alive
Trinity Santos makes the choice to be better. She looks her flaws in the mirror, and decides she wants to be more than them. Wants to be more than the snarky, headstrong, stubborn person people see when they look at her. She wants more from her life. She wants friends, she wants Yolanda, and that intrinsic want is stronger than the fear. She follows it, for once.

Summary
who put me in your way to find? / what right had you, not to let me die?
Trinity thinks the worst day of her year is behind her. It is, technically. But another shift preying on her already weakened state leads her back up to the roof, and she barely had the time to process the day before. She doesn't want to talk about it, doesn't want to sit in her apartment with Dennis in silence, just wants a safe place to think. But her cover's been blown, and Yolanda knows where to go looking for her now.

Summary
Dana is used to taking care of everyone around her. Her husband, her children, her department. It’s second nature to find herself at the bar where they all congregated after the gala, an eagle eye on her babies, watching with an ache in her chest as each one paired off, the gentle start of something new, something precious. The only person who notices the sadness behind her sharp eyes is Cassie, and she’s not going to stop until she finds out what is weighing their lynchpin down so heavily.

Summary
Victoria feels less like a human and more of a doll for her mother to show off on nights like this, but eventually Eileen Shamsi must go home, and leaves Victoria unattended. And that’s how she found herself at the bar with the rest of her coworkers, even though she was still a month shy of being allowed to drink, and when Mateo presses a drink in her hand, she doesn’t shy away.

Summary
Trinity Santos is not the person to call when you want someone charmed. She’s never been good at winning people over, at having the right things to say, and has never been interested in softening her sharp edges for anyone. So when the mandatory attendance of the gala means she’s out of her element, she escapes to the cool night air of the balcony for a moment of respite, and is followed by Yolanda, who had proved she wasn’t scared of a sharp edge. Even one wielded by Trinity.

Summary
Samira Mohan looks at the gala like another patient to diagnose and treat, takes the same care with conversations with donors as she would taking a patient history, walks the hall like she does the Pitt, always listening. Jack notices, because he notices everything. Including the way she looks for a place to hide, after a particularly draining conversation.

yelled down the hall but nobody answered / so she walked outside without an excuse
Once a year, every year, Trinity Santos is in a worse mood than ever. This year, she ends up in the Pitt instead of at home, where her barbs are heard only by herself. When a case hits a little too close to home, there's only one person brave enough to weather the storm she wraps herself in.
