    Summary

    Dr. Abbot moves his hand upwards from his scrubs, lightly scratches at his nape, then lets go of him entirely to prepare medication from their prepacked backpacks as they walk towards the camps ahead. The gentle touch burns through his skin, melting flesh and muscle and vertebrae in its path.

    That third time was the beginning of the end. One became two, two became three, and so on and so forth. Or, more adeptly, when the touches became so frequent every time he was around the doctor that he stopped counting them individually. Now they’ve categorized themselves into locations throughout the hospital and various routes.

    OR:

    Abbot has a fascination for touching Whitaker. He's determined to get to the bottom of it before his obsession with the touches ruin him or the ability to do his job.

    Summary

    “Don’t give me that shit, Robby. Not to me.” Robby grit his teeth and looked to the side.

    “Oh, so what? Why do I have to explain myself to you? You get this, you—” Robby sighed. “You’d think you might appreciate some gallows humor, after everything.”

    “And you think if you keep joking about it I’m not going to act like it’s real,” Jack said. “But I know gallows and I know humor and I know what I’m seeing right now. Don’t give me shit, Robby.”

    As the day shift winds down from the events of the Fourth, Jack notices an increasing pattern of disturbing behavior from Robby. He's well acquainted with the signs; too well acquainted. Something is wrong. And Jack is not losing Robby.

    Summary

    When Dennis agreed to cover shifts for Dr. Mohan on the night shift, he didn't think he would ever end up here. Kidnapped from the ambulance bay, his head pounding, and having to save the life of a man with limited medical supplies. That was supposed to be it. Somehow, he finds himself snatched up off a sidewalk, in the stables, in front of his home. There were no sacred spaces when you proved your worth.

    In the middle of it all, Dennis is confused by the way Dr. Robby and Dr. Abbot are circling him. The way they'd reach out and brush their fingers against his skin. The way they made sure he ate, got rest, and stayed safe. It made him ache with something he hadn't felt in a long time.

    Summary

    "Things started to gain momentum near the end of shift change, in that strange pocket of time when chaos loosened its grip just enough for exhaustion to settle in. Robby leaned against the counter beside Jack, shoulder brushing shoulder and neither of them moving away.

    “You busy tonight?” Robby asked lightly, eyes on the board instead of Jack.

    Too light. Too casual. Too deliberate.

    Jack didn’t look at him immediately. He finished signing off a chart and set the pen down carefully. Let silence stretch just long enough to make the question real. Then, calm and simple:

    “I’m available.”

    Robby went very still. Jack turned then, just slightly, and met his gaze.

    Something flickered across Robby’s face. Surprise, relief, fear, something almost like grief, before he covered it with a crooked half smile.

    “…Good,” he said quietly."

    *****

    Or the one where Robby tries to ruin a friendship so it would be easier to disappear, but Jack would never let that happen.

    Summary

    One of his favorite things about his Robby? How damn smart the man is. A damn genius, easily one of, if not the best doctor he’s ever worked with. Robby is straightforward and caring and kind, and he has an eye for medicine that can’t be taught, can only be natural. Everything he does is done with the easy grace of a man who has found his place in life, and it’s fucking entrancing. 

    But for all of his intelligence and his understanding of medicine, he’s remarkably bad at turning all that shit inwards. He knows all the signs of mental health struggles and how to basically strong-arm patients into going to therapy but he’ll never fucking do it himself. 

     

    or

    Robby's sabbatical puts Jack into a spiral.
