    Summary

    They're not anything anymore, not friends, definitely not lovers and not even in a situationship.

    So when Garcia gets hurt, why does Trinity Santos go the extra mile for the woman who couldn't love her?

    OR

    Garcia gets hurt and Trinity is there every step of the way.

    Summary

    If Trinity thought her blood pressure had spiked when she saw the knife, the feeling that she gets when she sees Izzy in the doorway to the room Trinity had left is akin to the worst case of hypertension she's ever seen. She wouldn't be surprised if the veins in her eyes are bursting, sending ribbons of red spilling out across the whites.

    Alex is beginning to speak again, his voice shaking but his tone firm and unrelenting. "I have to go—"

    Trinity reaches out instinctively, unable to think about anything other than keeping Izzy out of his eyeline. "Alex! Don't—"

    She doesn't see him pull out the knife. But a split second after he moves there's a sharp pain in her left arm, blood immediately welling up out of a slash across it. She presses onto it with her other hand, shying away from him in pain, her basic animal brain telling her to protect the injury.

    This is the wrong move.

    or: it turns out that, for trinity at least, getting stabbed makes you rethink a few things. among these things is included your ex-situationship-turned-tentative-work-friend-turned-awkward-avoidanceship (yeah, it's a mouthful. maybe quicker to just call her garcia)

    Summary

    “Can I ask you something?” Trinity murmurs, after a while. As if she’s only now found the right words.

    “Yeah.”

    “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.” She says. And Yolanda’s hands pause for a moment as she scrubs a plate and glances at her. “I just…the letter was on your counter this morning and I…saw it.”

    She knows immediately what she means. It’s sat heavy in her mind lately. The results aren’t promising. She didn’t remember leaving the letter from the fertility clinic on the counter but her brain must’ve been elsewhere. It’s not exactly like she’s hiding anything. There just hadn’t been something to tell. She imagined she’d eventually talk to her about it but now there truly is nothing to tell. Not in any positive way.

    “I didn’t know you wanted that.” She tells her gently. And Yolanda is glad she doesn’t have to look at her for a moment.

    “I…” She breathes out. “I was looking into it.”

    Or

    Yolanda wants to have a baby. Trinity is very supportive. Perhaps too supportive. Perhaps even an active member of the baby plan.

    Or

    It’s a kid fic. I dreamt about it.

    Summary

    Donna looked around the theater. Helene was there, eyes red but dry for now. Her mascara had run earlier. A few of the men seemed moved by the scene unfolding in front of them. But when she saw Jimmy Haymen roll his eyes as Joan and Vanessa talked about David Bowie, anger flared inside her.

    She could see the future – would these courageous women be decried as too emotional? Would they be maligned for the crime of sharing a love so pure and true that it defied space itself?

    NASA would need answers, need an explanation, need someone to blame. Her friends were in the crosshairs. The world was cruel to women like Joan and Vanessa over and over again. Donna set her jaw.

    That’s not going to happen here.

    She wouldn’t let it. No, Donna Redmond was an ER doctor and she had lives to save.

    Summary

    Trinity wants to tell him everything, wants to break down in front of him and make him understand why she is the way she is. That there was no version of Trinity that experienced what she did and didn't come out of it incapable of meaningful human connection. She knows she won't, knows she’ll never look at someone and ask them for help, because the last time she did nobody listened.

    She’s really going to fucking miss him though.

    “I promise, Dennis. Don't worry about me.” She says it sincerely, she means it. Trinity doesn’t need worry, Trinity doesn’t need anything.

    But that doesn’t stop her from wanting.

    Dennis smiles at her before walking away.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Or, Losing both Garcia and Whittaker in the same night leaves Trinity feeling like a stranger in her own story. Moving to night shift seemed like the only option she had left. She knows she's running away, she doesn't know that she's running in circles.
