Summary
Kiara continued, “Oh, before you go, I keep forgetting to tell you. I know Robby is always reminding you all that I’m here to talk, if you ever need it, but I wanted to mention that we also have a program specifically for supporting neurodivergent staff.”
“Oh,” said Mel, “That’s great!”
“Does that mean you're interested?”
Mel blinked. “Interested?”
“In the…” Kiara stopped, expression shifting in a way that Mel couldn’t quite identify. “Oh. I… I’m sorry, I got the impression-”
“Wait,” blurted Mel, “you thought- No. I’m not, um, I’m not neurodivergent.”
Or, Mel's coworkers seem to be under the misconception that she is autistic. Which she is not, obviously. Right?

Summary
“I’m going to be a mom,” Mel whispers, sounding awed. Samira looks at her and sees Mel’s wet smile. She laughs and reaches over to hug her friend.
“You’re going to be an amazing mom!” she laughs. “Oh my God, this is so exciting! Langdon's going to be so happy, I just know it!”
Mel’s eyes go wide again.
“Oh God, we’re going to have to actually tell everyone we’re together now!”
Or: Mel's pregnancy through the eyes of her (sometimes incredibly oblivious) coworkers.

Summary
She has to say it. She has to say it, because the last time someone was rolled away from her on a gurney it was to the morgue. Brushing the pads of her thumbs over his cheekbones, Samira stoops until their foreheads touch, her lips ghosting over his.
“I love you,” she whispers, eyes wide open.
Jack’s mouth curves into a gentle smile.
“I know.”

At shift change, Jack is stabbed by a patient brought into the Pitt. Samira Mohan can only watch, and wait, and wait.

Summary
'Hey, I don't think she has to answer that. Mel, don't answer that.' Langdon is doing something strange to his grilled cheese, shredding the crust into smaller pieces instead of eating it.
'Why shouldn't she? One of us should get laid!'
'Uh I don’t actually need any help, in that department.' Mel absolutely will not get into the subtleties of romantic and sexual attraction at her workplace.

Summary
Mel can’t quite shake the feeling that she’s lied. Not in the facts of the matter, not in any provable way, but by omission. She knows, logically, that what she's left out of her story is no different than Trinity being gay or Cassie being straight. Just another part of herself. But while her friends have accepted everything else about her freely and without reservation, she worries that this will be the bridge too far.
“Hey, guys?” Mel says. “By the way, I'm asexual.”

Summary
Mel’s convinced she’s made it to the door without anyone noticing her before a voice stops her dead in her tracks.
“Dr. King.”
It’s said in that sort of way that’s not really a question even if someone else would frame it like that, and Mel lets her shoulders rise up a little towards her ears as she slowly turns. Oh, boy.

Summary
Langdon looks aghast. “What do you mean you haven’t seen Lord of the Rings?”
“I mean, it’s not intentional,” says Mel. “I just never got around to it. Plus, it does look kind of goofy – isn’t the villain an evil spotlight?”
Garcia laughs, but Langdon looks like she just shot his mother right in front of him.Series

Summary
It’s one of those things—words, phrases, insults, sometimes even compliments—that sticks with Trinity, even though it shouldn’t. Lodges itself somewhere in the gaps of her ribcage, so with each step she can feel it there under skin, flesh and digging through bone. It grooves into the recesses of her mind, it gets caught in her throat, she can taste those words just on the tip of her tongue and she really fucking hates it.
Much like everything else her stupid brain clings to (it’s a trauma response, she knows that, she’s a doctor, but calling her brain stupid is easier than really facing the problem) it sticks.
Trouble, trouble, trouble.
Or: Trinity Santos learns to let her guard down, just a little bit.

Summary
“You don't want to do this,” Robby says, and what he means is 'please don't do this', one hand outstretched towards Mel and the patient. Placating, almost pleading. Like he can pull her out of the line of fire from strength of will alone.
“Clear the room,” the patient says.
They do.

Summary
The Trauma Room floor was a mess of gloves, paper gowns and blood, scuffed by shoes.
Langdon breathed out long and hard. He knocked his fist against Trinity’s outstretched one.
“Good work,” he said. “That was a good catch.”
He’d let Trinity do the chest tube, let her call the shots. It was part of teaching, his ED education fellowship had told him. It was about letting the bird fly free, but knowing exactly what to do if they plummeted towards the ground.
It had been long enough that he knew Trinity was no longer the plummeting type.
“Thanks,” she said, and it didn’t even sound forced.
-
Langdon and Trinity are friends. Best friends. It has been a long road to this point: here is a week in their lives.

Summary
“Mel, I don’t want to drag you out of your life to fit you into mine. I want us to fit with each other. I’m not scared of your mess.”
“I’m not scared of yours,” she replied. “I want—I want to be there in it with you. One mess, a shared mess. You and me.”
His smile made her heart clench. “You and me,” he said. Then he blinked, and there was something like awe in his eyes. “You’re choosing me, aren’t you?”
“Of course I am,” Mel replied. “I want to. I want to care about you. I want be there for you, and love you, on purpose.”

Mel has spent the year thinking that Langdon is dating someone else, which turned out to be categorically false. Now, they get to navigate something of their own.
