    Summary

    Trinity Santos is a good liar, but there’s only so much a person can hide. And unfortunately for her, Dennis Whitaker has developed a talent for sniffing out everything she works so hard to keep hidden beneath sharp layers of defenses. So, when Whitaker invites her to come to Amy’s farm with him, Trinity knows it’s because he’s worried about her. That and the fact that he won’t stop telling her he’s worried about her straight to her face.

    Trinity swore she’d never have a best friend again.

    But unfortunately for her, Dennis Whitaker happened.

     

    Or: I wanted to write about horsegirl Dennis introducing Trinity to the concept of horse therapy, so I started a wip and then immediately lost the plot so hard that I landed on a 65k word count about the struggles of feeling entirely alone. Bon appetit.

    Summary

    “I can still get you off without touching you, cariño. You know that.”

    Goosebumps erupt across Trinity’s skin, tiny little pinpricks of want crawling across her arms. She tilts her head just enough to meet Garcia’s eyes, and finds her staring right back at her, teeth tucked into her bottom lip, pupils black. “Yeah?” she murmurs, voice low.

    “Yeah, baby,” Garcia affirms. The fingers that had been stroking at Trinity’s ribcage suddenly curl up, scratching gently down the length of it; Trinity can’t help but shiver at the touch. “I’m not the only one in this bed with hands. You still want to?”

    or: trinity can't be touched. garcia talks her through it instead.

    Summary

    It's fine, and she's not mortified, and she will not turn bright red. All fine and good and—

    "Dr. Santos," Dana says, peering over her glasses in the way she always does when she's trying to figure people out. Sadly, not even the first time this week that she's stared Trinity down like that. "And Dr. Garcia. To what do we owe the pleasure? I didn't think you were working today."

    "Hey, Dana," Trinity laughs self-deprecatingly. "I got hurt in a really stupid way, and Lupe told us to just come through."

    Dana folds her arms and looks between the two of them with a deadpan expression. "What happened."

    "Ripped out a piercing, nothing that bad," Trinity replies smoothly, trying to pretend that she can't feel her cheeks heating up.

    Yolanda lets out a noise of disapproval. "Well—"

    "It's not that bad," Trinity repeats, sending a glare towards her girlfriend. "I'm walking, aren't I?"

    or: trinity and yolanda have to publicize their newly-official relationship for potentially the most embarrassing reason possible

    Summary

    Please leave a message after the be—

    “It’s just—Did I do something wrong? You’ve been weird. Ever since—I dunno. The Fourth. Or maybe you were always this weird and I didn’t notice until now. You stopped coming over to mine. And you don’t let me stay the night anymore. Is this about what I said? ‘Cause I didn’t mean it. Not like that, anyway. I know what this is to you.”

    Her head hurts. She just wants things to be simple again.

    On the eve of her birthday, Trinity reaches out to Yolanda.
