    Summary

    “Will you kiss me?”

    An interminable silence passes, during which Baran’s eyebrows twitch imperceptibly and Trinity tells herself to run at least thirty times, and convinces herself to stay at least thirty one.

    Baran frowns. “You’re drunk.”

    She almost laughs at the sheer absurdity. Of course she’s drunk, if she weren't, this conversation never would have happened.

    “I know. Will you kiss me?”

    --------

    The unstoppable force of Baran Al-Hashimi meets the immovable object of Trinity Santos.

    Summary

    Al-Hashimi laughed again, almost mockingly. The mean lilt of it was so far removed from the emotionless, hyper-professional image Santos had built of Al-Hashimi in her mind that it stunned her into silence.

    "I'm afraid you may have misplaced your faith," Al-Hashimi bit back.

    In a rundown diner at five o'clock in the morning on July 5th, Santos loses one hero and finds another.

    Summary

    “Three seizures isn’t overreacting!”

    “It is when you’re acting like I’m incapable of making decisions for myself!”

    The words hang there, and neither of them moves. The lights hum softly around them. The table sits untouched behind them. Everything Baran built… irrelevant.

    Trinity’s voice softens then, just slightly. “You’re not incapable,” she says. “But right now…you’re not okay.”

    And that’s the worst thing she could’ve said.

     

    "too impaired by my youth" extended version.

    Summary

    Bernie had always known that she would divine her soulmate's face: where she comes from it's part of life, whether she wants it or not. What she hadn't expected was for it to take three and a half decades - to take a failed marriage, a revelation about her sexuality and being blown up - to find said soulmate. Or that it wouldn't all be plain sailing when she did find them.
