hopeful romantic

Specifically knowing their sports and how it fundamentally represents how they work in the Pitt.

Langdon played football. Football is a team sport, but unless your a superfan, ONE person more or less gets the glory, and that person is credited for the work of their team.

Santos was a Gymnast. Gymnastics is an individual sport, but the collective individuals allows the team to advance. The team is given credit for the individuals.

So Langdon emphasizes a collective and targeted effort. Yes, HE realigned this patient's spine, because his team supported him.

Santos is an internal effort flowing out. She executed a reboa procedure, so the Yellow Section saved more people.

And when things go wrong, Langdon expects his team to close rank and defend him.

When things go wrong for Santos, she expects the team to circle and target her.

And amazingly, their both wrong!

No one reached out to Langdon, his team continued without him. They accept him back, and take him as he is, but they do not specifically curate a guarded path for him to success.

because princess speaks tagalog without an accent, but she has the basic american english accent which tells me she was probably born and raised in the philippines before immigrating to the us at a young age. meanwhile, perlah does have an accent when she speaks in tagalog, the same accent a lot of americans have when they speak it, which tells me she was probably born and raised in the us.

and baran al-hashimi, you deserved a storyline of genuine professionalism and being a good teacher as a contrast to your predecessor. about how you have an uphill battle with a department that's been rigid and set in its ways.

lowkey forgot to post this here but here’s some crashtos (trinity santos / victoria javadi) sleepover content

In this world, soulmates can feel each other’s pain and it’s from Yolanda’s point of view. Anyway, since her and Trinity are ten ish years apart, Yolanda spends most of her childhood thinking that she doesn’t have a soulmate and she’s kind of bullied for it leading to have developing a messed up sense of self and love.

A few months after her tenth birthday, she feels the first spark of pain and she’s ecstatic. She gets a book and writes down every single feeling desperate to prove to herself that she does have a soulmate and she can’t wait to meet her. As the years go by, she’s almost always in pain, a few bruises on her knees, some joint wear and tear from overuse (since Trinity does gymnastics) and then one day, she feels sharp cuts along her thighs. She cries for her soulmate and wishes they had met and she was there to comfort her. The cutting continues unfortunately, leading to Yolanda deciding that she wants to do psychology at college to better help people like her soulmate. And then on the day of her final college exam, she’s overcome with immense pain like she’s being burnt from the inside out, followed by a feeling of emptiness. The emptiness lasts only a few minutes but she’d always remember the way it felt, like she was dead. After her experience, she ends up not being able to do her finals, sinks into depression and basically struggles with what to do. She blames her soulmate for this, and hates that she’s so connected to a stranger, this is what leads to her playboy ways, but she still can’t get over the younger her that wanted to help people in pain. She decides to do medicine and work in trauma with the sickest patients so that no one would ever have to feel how it feels to die anymore.

It's the numbers-- Before the shift starts we have them count up "She has her phone in one hand..." "with the same two fingers she used in Garcia" "her top three most erotic experiences" "after four rounds of chemo" "looked like my five-year-old brother wrote it"

Then during the shift we have the count down: (easiest example is the section in 1:00 AM, but it happens multiple times throughout! VERY cool)

🎉🎉🎉

Yes, it’s the numbers!! 🌺🪻🌻🪷🥀🌼🌷🌸🌹💐

It actually starts at "zero" when Santos is miserable while talking to her mother, going 0-1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1, and then from there it repeats 5-4-3-2-1 / 5-4-3-2-1 / 5-4-3-2-1 over and over until hitting "zero" again when Noah dies. It stops for a while after that, only ticking back up when Garcia comes to the roof, finally ending at "five" as the two of them share a teasing, happy moment

There's some symbolism there, and it's also meant to subconsciously key you into how Santos' anxiety feels while establishing one of her primary coping mechanisms—counting

And fuck it was a challenge, going through the chapter so many times to plant them where I wanted, blend them in as naturally as possible, keep them in order, and ensure I didn't include any extras ("one" and "two" specifically were very hard to avoid)

So, since you figured it out, I'll list fifteen options for KMG Garsantos within the categories of fluff, smut, and angst, and you can pick one to become a future fic of roughly 5k words. Note—I won't start writing this until after the epilogue's done since I want to respect that as a priority, but I can post a shorter sneak peek in the meantime

Fluff: (1) A holiday with Garcia or Finn's fam; (2) Proposal; (3) Santos' birthday + a cute gift; (4) Travel to a new country; (5) Fall activities with the sub-options of: (5a) A corn maze & haunted house, (5b) Apple orchard & pumpkin carving, or (5c) Halloween

Smut: (6) Sex tape; (7) High sex; (8) Remote control vibrator; (9) Phone sex; (10) Any sex they've already had, but switch them (ex. Santos riding Garcia's face, Garcia fucking Santos in a public place, etc.)

Angst: (11) Garcia kicks Santos out of the OR; (12) Garcia breaks her hand; (13) Santos' mother dies; (14) One of them has a major health issue; (15) Santos hides something big from Garcia causing Garcia to ask for a "break"

(I hate that I had to upload this to youtube to link it here, but I love doing things for the bit)

Before I choose, please allow me to sing your praises just a bit more:

It is so incredible just how much meticulous planning has gone into this piece of fanfiction. Your work is truly aspirational. I feel like I could read it a hundred times over to learn from it and still only scratch the surface (and as I annotate I'd probably end up looking like Charlie from It's Always Sunny trying to prove Pepe Silva doesn't exist). Your work challenges and comforts, entertains and evokes emotion--it is quite literally the entire package and then some. So, thank you, Jeanette for creating this piece, for interacting with your readers, and for continuing to write (and write...and write).

I've narrowed my choices down to five, so why don't we put the rest to a poll. Make it a sort of collaborative decision, hm?

Santos' birthday

Apple orchard & pumpkin carving

Phone sex

Santos' mother dies

Author's Choice Wildcard

Thank you so much for the kind words 🥹❤️🫶

Love love the idea of a poll. If you had thrown it back to me, that's actually what I was planning on doing! But now if ppl vote for #5, I really will just pick one hahah
