    Summary

    “ if, perchance, you should grieve at all, let her not perceive it;
    and laugh when, within yourself, you could have wept.
    — Ovid, Remedia Amoris

    The thing about the words we say, even the ones we mean to say, is that we can never really tell how completely they might unravel a life. And for Yolanda Garcia, who has built herself carefully around discipline, distance and the absolute refusal to need anybody at all, it only takes one badly timed sentence for everything to begin coming apart.

    aka my take on post series 2 Garsantos and how Yolanda and trinity might come back together again.

    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

    “Okay,” Becka says, in that voice she uses when she wants to appease her friend. “With who?”

    Hannah turns to her side, propping up on an elbow, so that she can gaze down at Becka, who’s busy sinking into her beanbag - all the while preparing to say one of the single worst names Becka’s ever heard in her life. “His name’s Garth.”

    Becka has too many things to worry about before graduating, and one of them is getting to the graduating part in the first place.
