Summary
Trinity Santos is not okay.
She’s never really been okay. But she’s held herself together this long — on caffeine, adrenaline, and silence sharp enough to cut.The Pitt sees it. Langdon sees it.
And for once, maybe she lets herself be seen.They don’t fix her. They just don’t leave.
Sometimes, that’s enough.Featuring: unresolved trauma, a lobster named Greg, a borrowed hoodie, and the terrifying prospect of letting someone care.
Or: the one where she stops pretending she’s fine — and someone finally calls her bluff.

Summary
Tiny fingers lift the sleek black phone from the hook as quarters are inserted into the labeled slot. When prompted, the fingers move to push the sequence of numbers they had long since memorized, leaving behind bloodied fingerprints on the keypad.
62742-4455
They wait, their breath coming in sharp heaves that causes a sharp stab in their ribs with each movement.
The dial tone sounds out before it abruptly ends with a click. “This is Hill.”
They’re quiet for a few moments. “Ria?”
There’s a pause before the reply came, slow and hesitant. “Alyssa?”Or what if Yelena did actually call Maria when she was ten?

Summary
“Tommy.” It’s a stuttered plea slipping free from the confines of his shredded mouth, a beg that he ain’t ashamed of as he writhes in his brother's unrelenting grasp, the sores lining his cheeks and rubbing against his teeth alight with fire.
He’s asking to be let go, to be able to go to his child because she needs him.
Because he had promised that he wouldn’t let her do this alone.
The people in that room don’t count.
They don’t know that her favorite color is forest green even though she’s never been in the woods, that her shoulder aches if she falls asleep on her right side because her foster father fractured it when she was eight and it healed wrong.
They don’t know that it’s her greatest fear - what’s happening inside that sterile room with grey walls, white bedding and too little warmth.
To let her die alone would be his failure, his broken promise, and he’s watching it happen. Her heart no longer beating and her chest failing to rise.

Summary
...
What would have happened if Joel was the one bitten at the museum? This is an exploration of TLOU, in which Tess takes Ellie across country in search of the Fireflies. What begins as a reluctant partnership grows into something much deeper, where bonds forged in fire breathe new hope, and a chance for redemption.
...
“You don’t have to answer now,” Tess tells her. “I get that it’s a big thing to ask, but I have to ask it. I just…I want you to know you always have a choice, here. Even if we do find Tommy, and we do find some Fireflies. You’re smart, and you have great instincts. Keep asking questions. Make informed decisions whenever possible.”
“That’s not always an option when you’re a fourteen-year-old kid,” Ellie points out, sounding much older than she is.
“When it comes to your body and what you do with it, it should always be. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Not even me."

Summary
“What the hell are you doing?” He asks, voice sharp in his surprise. He’d expected—well. He hadn’t expected this. The girl in front of him is careful to keep her hands up, only nodding at the pack now on the ground. He’d thrown her pretty hard against the wall when she’d stepped out from the shadowed corner, but nothing he can see looks bleeding or broken, at least.
“I’m here from Leroy. He didn’t want to come. Said you might, like, cut off his fingers or something. So he sent me.”
