fic: a woman can't survive by her own breath alone [f/f]

I wrote a fic for The Pitt! Not the one I had originally been meaning to write, which I do still plan to. This one was supposed to be one I knocked out over the weekend, but it got quite a bit longer. Here it is.

“I don’t need a fucking script, Huckleberry!” Trinity says, furious. “I can ask a girl out, jesus.”

“I mean, that’s weird,” Whitaker says. “Because you haven’t. Like, that’s what this entire conversation is about.”

I am averting my eyes from your fic because I have just started watching the show based on your recommendation in the last post*, but so happy to see your writing come across my list!

*Weirdly, part of what made me want to watch it - maybe the main thing? - was the fact that Robbie has covid ptsd. I thought this appealed to me as more of an interesting thing than a personal one, but then was very shocked by how upsetting and personal that first flashback at the end of episode 1 felt. But it’s…oh, maybe you already said this, but it’s so compelling (?) to see someone actually engaging deeply with that…

I hope you like it when you get to it! And, yeah, absolutely. I put it on the first time because it was a prestige medical drama and I love me one of those, but it was during Robby's first covid flashback that I sat up and fell in love. You just don't see this kind of engagement with the pandemic story, and I love seeing it here.

Oooh, I love it. Trinity is rage wrapped up in so many layers and it was wonderful watching a few of them fall away.
