    Summary

    For a moment they just sat, holding the painful memory between the two of them. Baran breathed slow and purposeful, measured, practiced. Trinity felt a swell of pride. She was always impressed at her partner's ability to sit with her trauma, to keep the panic from taking the ground out from under her. Trinity was constantly taking notes.

    After a moment of composing herself, Baran turned fully to face Trinity, bringing her legs up onto the couch pretzel-style to mirror Trinity's posture. She lifted a hand to cup the younger woman's cheek, gently brushing a thumb over her cheekbone.

    "Sheereen-am, why are you awake? Did you have a nightmare? A flashback?"

    OR

    Trinity and Baran can't sleep. Together they process some trauma.

    Summary

    She does not move at first. Lying still lets her pretend, for a brief moment, that maybe the stiffness is temporary. Maybe she slept wrong and it's not her body reminding her that fifteen straight years of gymnastics will always exact their price eventually. Her lower back gives a deep-tissue, miserable twinge. Every joint in her body is stubbornly reminding her that they exist. Trinity swallows and stares out the window, blinds open into the backyard so that she can watch the rain drip off the plants in the garden. Baran will be happy about that, at least. Maybe it will even outshine her disappointment for Trinity once again not delivering on a promise.

    Summary

    “Trinity…”

    Trinity stopped in her tracks, halfway through the staff room door. She didn’t like the older woman’s tone, the way Trinity stung like a sharp edge wrapped in soft wool. It was a sickening mixture of dread and curiosity, which made Trinity uneasy. As soon as she turned around, she wished she hadn’t. She wished she’d just kept walking.

    Trinity shut her eyes for a beat too long, jutting her chin out in frustration. Her eyelids served as the last physical barrier between her and this moment, temporarily shutting out the scrutiny and criticism that was sure to follow. Trinity could feel her fingertips start to tingle, a numbness she knew all too well. A numbness that years of therapy couldn’t fix. She couldn’t find any words, so she opened her eyes again, looking at the attending in front of her.

    Dr. Al-Hashimi stood there, eerily still. One arm at her side, the other outstretched, palm up. In that hand, an unwrapped scalpel.

     

    Or, Dr. Al-Hashimi accidentally discovers something Trinity never wanted to talk about, and Trinity is surprised by her reaction.

    Summary

    She looks at Baran’s mouth. She could kiss her, she thinks.

    ‘Trinity,’ Baran says, voice low and edged with warning.

    ‘What?’ She looks straight at Baran, smirks a little.

    ‘What are you doing?’ She tilts her head, bores straight into Trinity’s eyes.

    Trinity’s heart drops deliciously. Baran’s eyes glint and her voice is so honeyed and she’s looking at her like fucking that and of course Trinity is gonna fucking say something. Trinity isn’t even really flirting with her, not yet.

    ‘’M not doing anything,’ she mumbles. She leans a little closer.

    Baran smirks. ‘Trinity.’

    ‘What?’ she repeats. She’s smiling. She could kiss her.

    or

    Baran starts fucking the nanny, and things get complicated.
