    Summary

    “I’m jealous.” It escapes before she can let herself back out, “That my sister has a sex life, and I don’t.”

    She doesn’t know why she’s admitting that to him. She honestly doesn’t. It’s embarrassing.

    “Right there with you.” His voice is low, “How long–?”

    She chews at the bottom of her lip, doing the mental math, “Three years…You?”

    “Thirteen months.”

    Warmth pools in between her legs, and she clutches his hand like it’s a lifeline.

    It’s barely a whisper, she’s so afraid to say it,

    “Close the trunk.”

    ---

    “Wait, holy shit, King–” The wand stills inside of her as Trinity freezes the frame.

    “What?” She asks, “God, it didn’t nick something, did it? I’m not about to bleed to death?”

    “No, but you might pass out.” Trinity answers, “Maybe?”

    “What is it?” She tries to sit up, but Trinity’s already turning the ultrasound monitor around to show her.

    Her heart stills as she takes in the tiny flickering heartbeat on the screen in front of her, “Oh–”

    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker is a newly MS2, juggling his classes, part time jobs and being unhoused, while narrowly trying to escape burnout.
    One day, he spills his coffee all over another man while trying to get a book from the library. Mortified by the experience he can only find comfort in the fact he will never see this stranger ever again. That is until that man appears in class as a guest lecturer a couple days later.

    Michael Robinavitch is taking some time off, over the anniversary of his mentor's death. Feeling too cooped up inside his own home he decides to get in touch with some old friends at the University of Pittsburgh. He is invited as a guest lecturer when when he runs into a particular man who catches his attention.

    After their encounter at the library, the two men keep running into each other. Seemingly tied by an invisible magnetic force.

    Or; After embarrassing himself in front of a hot older man, Dennis keeps running in to him. The med student tries his best to hide the fact that he's homeless, but the closer he gets to Michael Robinavich, the more difficult it becomes to keep up his facade.

    Summary

    “I’m- I can’t convince myself to commit to a longer stay,” Robby admits, frustrated by it. “It’d be better for actually getting somewhere with antidepressants, I know, but I feel like once I take away the work and the bike and everything else I do… there’s a clock on how long I can be naked like that. When it runs out, if I’m not back on the right side, I’ll get stuck as nothing, forever.” Robby drops his face into his hand. “Why does this sound like The Little Mermaid?” he moans.

    “Is this the kind of place where they throw a black bag over your head and smash your SIM card, or can I still talk to you?” Jack asks.

    ~ After a scare on his road trip, Robby does two weeks of inpatient care in Wisconsin... and you'll never guess who he uses his phone time on~

    Summary

    Dr. Robby is too old for this. Too old to be losing sleep over a resident.

    It starts slowly. Favours and conversation. Things that last longer than they should.
    Clearly there is nothing to discuss since the whole thing is just a temporary lapse in judgment.
    Still, the way Dennis looks at him makes everything harder…And Robby, who has spent his entire life being careful, realises he may have already passed the line of no return.

     

    Slowburn, the chapters get longer as we go, cuz I get greedy

    ( posting when I can, proofreading when I can, sorry I just wanna go with my stupid stream of thoughts.)

    Summary

    He saw no one—and then Robby muttered under his breath, “Sounds to me like you are stressed, brother,” and Jack shot him a look, especially when his friend added, “Maybe you need to borrow my stress ball for a while.”
    --
    Jack blinked…and then managed to coherently say, “You…you’re on night shift? Since when?”

    Whitaker looked up at him with those wide, bluer-beyond-blue eyes of his and quipped, “As of right now, it looks like. I mean, I got the shift change notification a little over a week ago. They gave me the last six days off to adjust my sleep schedule, and now I’m here…” His voice trailed off a bit as he stood and adjusted his scrubs, which looked to be slightly big on him.

    “…that’s not gonna be a problem, is it? …Dr. Abbot?”

    (aka the fic where Robby lends Jack his favorite intern for the night shift when it becomes obvious that Jack needs some stress relief...but it turns into something that Jack never expected)
