    Summary

    When a clip of pro-hero Pinky sounding homophobic goes viral, Mina decides the quickest way to shutdown this public relations nightmare is to come out as gay. All she has to do is pretend to date her best friend Ochako for a few months, then they can gracefully break up and leave her public image pristine.

    All this means she has to kiss Ochako. For practice, obviously! Mina's straight, but how different could dating a girl be from dating a boy?

    Summary

    “Look, it’s not because I don’t,” Cassie breaks the silence, then shakes her head and looks away, a quiet noise of disbelief leaving her, “We just can’t. Okay?”

    Another nod. Victoria’s mouth is incredibly dry.

    “But..you want to?”

    McKay lets her head hang. “We can’t. I can’t.”

    “Because of your ex?” Victoria probes. Everything inside her is screaming at her to stop. She doesn’t know why she can’t. She doesn’t know why she can’t just shut up. But McKay is…right here and her messy bangs and her heavy eyes and her wet mouth just -

    “Because I wanna be good,” McKay says simply.

    Javadi is a nervous wreck and McKay struggles with self-restraint. Until she doesn't.

    Summary

    “I was the one who cut you open,” Mel says, hushed like it’s a secret, like her heartbeat doesn’t threaten to shoot out of her mouth with the words. She can hear Trinity’s breath hitch, her fingers spasming against Mel’s knuckles. “And stitched you back together. I held your blood in my hands.”

    Summary

    It’s possible, Trinity thinks to herself, that she should be ashamed that Mel King knowing which thyroid hormone replacement isn’t derived from mammals is doing it for her. Sue her, her type is calm, confident women in a crisis— it’s why she’d gone momentarily insane when Mohan drilled those EZ-IO burr holes.

    Summary

    When Mel catches her eye, Trinity mouths you okay? and Mel manages a tight smile, a little nod. This is not her forte, surrounded by people she has to charm. Mel doesn’t do performative. Neither does Trinity, for all her bluster— they’re both better served with a scalpel in hand.
