    Summary

    “Santos, I-” Langdon started.

    “Save it. It’s not the first time I’ve been chewed out for something that isn’t my fucking fault.” She snapped, voice raised to try and disguise the tremble of it. Oh how she longed for him to argue back, let her direct all the fucking embarrassment and shame and hurt away from the lump in her throat and outwards. See if she cares about blowing up at her workplace, let them discipline her.

    or

    Santos learns she has people in her corner, whether she believes it or not

    Summary

    Yolanda finally looked back up at her. “I miss you.”

    Trinity blinked.

    Of all the things she’d expected, that wasn’t it.

    “I miss… us,” Yolanda added, softer now. “What we had.”

    OR: Yolanda chases Trinity this time around.

    Summary

    “I came to apologize.”

    At that, Trinity pushes off the doorframe and turns into the apartment, leaving the door open for Yolanda to follow.

    “Guess you figured out that it wasn’t my fault?”

    “We figured it out right after you left the room.”

    “And I didn’t do it to get back at Langdon, or whatever.”

    “I know.”

    “You told me to get over it. That it was affecting my patients. That really fucking–” She stops herself, takes a breath and pinches the bridge of her nose, then starts again.

    “That was a fucked up thing to say.”

    The guilt settles a little deeper, pulling at her insides like a knife had been stuck inside her, and someone was twisting the hilt.

    ***

    Just as Yolanda and Trinity's relationship was starting to develop into something more, a series of events threatens to ruin everything. Yolanda learns to accept support from those around her and give it in return, as she comes to terms with the ways her relationship with her mother has affected her life in ways she never imagined it could.

    Summary

    Trinity planned two weeks vacation with her girlfriend to catch up on sleep, have an obscene amount of sex, and order takeout.

    Instead, she gets Nebraska. Cows, horses, and a border collie. And a sky so big it feels like it might swallow her whole.

    It’s absolutely not what she wanted, but it might be exactly what she needed.

    Summary

    The first week back is an endless parade of people checking on her. Garcia corners Trinity in the stairwell to tell her how worried she was with a very un-Garcia-like sincerity; Mel keeps shooting looks at her out of the corner of her eye; Victoria asks her if she’s ok at least three times a day; and even freaking Langdon finds her in the ambulance bay and tells her how sorry he is that it happened to her. Trinity tells him to fuck off, because it’s easier than admitting that she hates that she is again a person who has had a capital S Something happen to them.

    OR

    A workday goes south. Trinity copes with the aftermath.
