    Summary

    Later, they’ll say it was shock. That’s why she didn’t react. They’ll call it a freak accident—bad luck on a difficult skill. The doctors will exchange careful looks when she asks how soon she can get back on the mat.
    She’ll nod along. She’ll play her part.
    But she’ll know the truth.
    It wasn’t shock. It wasn’t an accident. She had prepared for the pain. She had made the choice.
    And when the doctors tell her they can’t be sure if—or when—she’ll return to gymnastics, the breath she lets out isn’t from disappointment.
    It’s from relief.

    —or: Trinity learns how to accept help after by fucking a lot of other stuff up

    Summary

    Things have been good, lately.

    Trinity has been good. She likes going to work—likes the thrill of particularly difficult cases, likes the easy back-and-forth she’s starting to build with her coworkers, even likes arguing with Langdon. She likes her little apartment and she likes that she gets to share it with Dennis. (It’s way cleaner, now, and she eats real food half the time. And she has something to do in the evenings other than think about everything she’s lost).

    Things have been good.

    She should’ve fucking known what would happen if she let her guard down.

    ~~~

    Trinity is cornered on her way home from work. She gets out of it with a stab wound and a whole new wave of old trauma. (And of course, her least favorite coworker is the only one there to talk her down.)

    Summary

    It takes a few excruciatingly long moments for Trinity to register the person who has scooped up the preschooler in his arms as Frank Langdon. As in: the senior resident that publicly humiliated her on her first day. The very same Frank Langdon that she reported for stealing drugs from patients. The beloved asshole of the Pitt whose life she ruined.

    What the fuck.

    When Trinity takes a part-time gymnastics coaching position, she certainly doesn’t expect one of her star students to share a last name with the senior resident she somehow managed to (sort of) fire a few months ago

    Summary

    Santos holds up her hands and shakes her head and takes another step back. “I haven’t spoken to your wife,” she emphasizes. “All I know is you hurt your head. Just—please try to calm down, sir, we’re going as fast as we—”

    “That’s bullshit,” he snaps. “I didn’t do anything. She’s lying.”

    He’s getting way too close and the adrenaline has Santos stammering around words she hasn’t come up with yet—

    “I’ll be right back,” she blurts and turns around—

    A strong hand clamps around her wrist and pulls—

    “Let go of me,” Santos demands as she reaches for the privacy curtain—

    Summary

    Dennis has good days. Dennis has awful days. He thinks he manages fine.

    But when the trauma resurfaces and the scars ache and burn, he feels himself swallowed whole, suffocating, writhing, begging for the end to the unsightly stain that is his existence.

    He doesn't realize just how many people care for him -- the way a family is supposed to.

    The way his family never did.
