    Summary

    “Nefer.” The name, warm, unhurried, sweet on her tongue. The tongue lifts to the ridge behind the teeth, Ne, a small surrender, the top teeth set themselves against the lip and press, and the air goes out warm over the place where they meet, Fer. Two beats. An opening and a held bite.

    Summary

    Nefer liked her standing. She enjoyed what she did and reveled in the connections and standing that her job and character gave her to the people of nod-krai. And, even if she wasn’t willing to say it out loud, her friends.

    She liked being reliable, to be on the opposite end of the supplicant’s seat whenever a crisis knocked on their doors. But more than anything, she would hate to have her skills atrophy if she took a break, which is why, even in the aftermath of the rampage of two transcendent beings, having moon’s remnants chucked at her, surviving two assasination attempts and every second of logistic planning that she had spent countless sunny evenings by now instead of celebrating with her companions, even after all of that…

    She never took a break.

    As of now, she was standing on the far edge of that dreaded atrophy she tried to avoid by raising walls of work around her.

    She was burnt out.

    Summary

    Three weeks after the end of a ten month situationship, Trinity Santos decides a change of scenery is exactly what she needs.

    Unfortunately, her version of a change of scenery is transferring to night shift. Now her life consists of trauma alerts at three in the morning, Jack Abbot acting like he's won the lottery, John Shen committing crimes against coffee, Parker Ellis complaining about everything, Crus Henderson laughing at all of it, and Emery Walsh appearing with alarming frequency.

    Santos tells herself she's starting over.

    Walsh tells herself Santos is temporary.

    Neither of them is remotely correct.

    As shifts turn into routines and routines turn into something far more dangerous, Santos finds herself becoming part of the Night Crawlers and spending more and more time with the one person capable of matching her stubbornness. The problem is that some relationships happen all at once. Others happen one shift at a time.

    Or: Santos transfers to nights to get away from her ex. Instead, she accidentally finds a family, a home, and a trauma surgeon who keeps showing up.

    Summary

    Trinity Santos can be bitchy, but that doesn't mean she's a bitch. Would a bitch invite her homeless co-worker to live with her in her nice but very lonely apartment? Did she even like him as a person? Hard to tell, but he wasn't so bad she'd leave him to live in an empty hospital room, stealing soggy sandwiches and no shower in sight. No, she wasn't that bad. And maybe she herself wasn't so bad if Dennis Whitaker himself, the sad rural midwestern farm boy with love on his sleeve, trusted her, or maybe found her tolerable enough to stay with for who knows how long.

    Or the night when Dennis Whitaker moved in to resident Santos, and shared some feelings and lore along with a house tour. Current population: 2

    Summary

    there’s a rumble of applause while trinity’s first song starts thudding through the speakers. she stares down at the plexiglass floor for a few moments, immersing herself in the clicking of her own heels as she strolls up to the pole before glancing out over the crowd as casually as possible, only-

    she’s there, again. there is, in fact, a woman. she’s barely visible but absolutely real, standing squarely behind the troves of people, drink in hand, staring.
