Bookmarker's Notes
Just how well did John Segundus and John Childermass know each other? It is commonly thought that they were friends as well as fellow-magicians, but recent evidence suggests that they might also have been something more.

Jumper Cables, et al
Summary
All Daryl intended to do was give Carol's car a jump and be on his merry way. What he didn't know was that one action would lead his senior year in high school down a rabbit hole of new friends, new enemies, impromptu study sessions, some hardcore crushing, and text threads for days. Who would have thought a life could be changed with something as simple as jumper cables? -

Fandoms: The Pitt (TV)

Summary
She has a whole trophy room at home, in Pittsburgh, that has nearly every available inch of surface area covered in her accolades, but a single shelf still stands empty. It’s been reserved for her Olympic medals for the better part of five years. She’d been ready to go in 2022, practically chomping at the bit for the chance to go to Beijing, but she’d only been sixteen at the time and hadn’t yet refined her skills enough to make the cut.
2026 was supposed to be her year. 2026 was going to be her year.
Until Trinity Santos came out of retirement and ruined it for her.

Summary
“I’d ask if you slept okay, but you look like shit, so I’m gonna guess not.”
Whitaker gulps down a mouthful of water too quickly and coughs. “I slept fine,” he says hoarsely. Trinity raises a skeptical eyebrow, tossing the balled-up paper towel between her hands. “Really,” he insists. “It’s been a while since I’ve slept without keeping one eye on the door.” He ducks his chin again, all “gee, shucks” farmboy sheepish, and the tops of his ears are pink. “Thank you for…all of this. It really means a lot.”
The earnestness makes Trinity want to poke meanly at his stomach until he curls over it protectively. She squeezes the paper towel tighter instead. “Whatever. I had the room. It’s no big deal.”

Eight Conversations to Have with Your Roommate by abed_with_a_knife
Fandoms: The Pitt (TV)
28 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
You don’t even feel the need to apologize to Dennis until you start to realize how good he is. Like, good at heart. There’s nothing performative. He’s just a sweet boy. And you’re you, which never made you feel as bad as it does now that you’re surrounded by good people all day long. He’s the worst of them all, though. So fucking sweet, so considerate. He knows you hate the apologies, and he stops. He knows you hate the upstairs neighbors, and he says something to them to make them quiet down. He knows you hate talking about Langdon, and he gives you an out every time the man comes up.
Trinity probably should have known that Huckleberry was going to be trouble when she persuaded him to come live with her. She couldn't have known that he would become so important to her. (Seriously, this is the guy who killed a patient on his first day! What was she thinking?)

When she'd gone to Robby, she wonders whether he'd been able to smell the desperation buried beneath her hesitance, the overwhelming stench of decaying need giving itself away. Believe me, believe me, believe me. It's all she'd ever wanted. Maybe no one had to die this time.

Summary
If you asked Trinity Santos what the worst part of her first shift in The Pitt was, she would lie and say the mass casualty incident. This was the fair and socially acceptable answer and the one people actually wanted to hear about when they asked. Truthfully, the mass casualty incident didn't even break the top three on the list of worst things about the shift. Third was the scalpel incident. Second was correctly deducing her senior was stealing drugs. First would have to be Yolanda Garcia calling her “trouble."
It's Trinity's first rotation of intern year outside of the ED. Of course, it had to be trauma surgery, and Garcia just had to be her senior resident.

Summary
“I was just…I was wondering what you do. You know. For like…punishment.” She interrupts him. She needs to get the answer already, needs to know what to expect before she drives herself crazy with anticipation.
“Well I was more into grounding than goddamn child abuse.”
“Grounding like…” Her face scrunches in confusion as she dares to look at him. The word is foreign and the best guess she has doesn’t seem right, but she also doesn’t know what else it could be. “Like being…in the ground?”
Joel stares at her for a long, long moment before he speaks.
“Jesus fucking Christ.”

love like the love in storybooks by dirgewithoutmusic
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
28 Nov 2016

Summary
George was afraid of heights, so Fred dared and dared him into going higher and higher–patiently, kindly, gently–until at nine George didn’t want to get down from a broom, even for dinner.
When one of them set it up, the other had the punchline. When one of them started it, the other finished the sentence, or the sandwich, or the job. When Fred stared after Angelina in the Great Hall, George noticed, and looked to his plate.
When Fred waxed eloquent about the grace of Angelina’s passes in practice, George thought about what that meant for Oliver’s game strategies. He remembered what it had been like, being afraid of air beneath your feet. When Fred talked smugly about the gardens outside the Yule Ball–the little niches and nooks, shadowed and cool, Angelina’s backless dress–George fiddled with their latest recipe for Puking Pasties.
