Summary
I have had the idea of making a book series for almost a year and this is where I'm going to post snippets from it. These scenes are absolutely in no particular order and will never be.
The books themselves have no titles so far but the series is going to be titled "The Kids Are Not Alright" any suggestions for the individual book titles are absolutely accepted.
Thank you for deciding to read this if you do. I really appreciate it.
Constructive criticism is absolutely adored as this is my first time attempting to write a book.
Might not be a good title but it is my working title, I pray for help in finding a new one after I get more chapters out.Series
- Part 1 of The Kids Are Not Alright

Summary
Dennis Whitaker has been hiding his Type 1 Diabetes behind rationed insulin and a practiced smile for years. When his insurance decides to take a shit, so does the fragile balance he’s been clinging to. Of course, Dr. Robby notices the tremor in his hands long before Dennis ever speaks a word — and offers a solution Dennis never expected: a fake marriage to get him covered.
It’s supposed to be practical. Temporary. Nothing more.
But when they have to pretend to be in love to prove they are in a "Bona fide marriage" nothing stays simple. Especially when someone finally sees you.- Language:

Summary
In an alternate timeline, Dennis didn’t stay at the PTMC. After he finished med school, he went straight back to Broken Bow. Except, when he was doing his rotation in the Pitt as an MS4, he wasn’t Dennis. He was someone else. A scared, shy girl who kept her head down and tried her best to get through it.
But now, four years later, he was back at the PTMC. After being kicked out of Broken Bow for daring to be himself, the town is down one doctor, and Dennis is down one home. He gets hired at PTMC as a new person, with a new name and a new identity. But no matter how much time passes, those who love you will always find you again. The question is, will Dennis let them come back?

Summary
The idea of disappointing Robby felt worse than the panic attack, worse than the humiliation of losing control in the hallway, worse than an actual heart attack. He had seen how Robby handled it when Doctor Mohan cracked under the pressure, how cold his voice had gone, how sharp and cutting every word had been until she looked like she might shatter right there in the middle of the department. Dennis couldn’t stop imagining that same look turning on him.
Or, Dennis has a panic attack after making a critical mistake. He doesn’t want Robby to know.

Summary
After the world had failed to end, after Heaven and Hell had each said their piece, after Satan had been banished once more from the earth, things had reverted back to normal rather quickly. And that normalcy had left Crowley at something of a loss.
So when Adam had reached out to him - to ask for his advice on treats for Dog, of all things - he’d been rather surprised.
Later, when he’d told Aziraphale about the call over a bottle of wine, the angel had gotten a bit misty-eyed. Which had given Crowley an idea.
