    Summary

    At some point during the drive, Frank mumbled some incoherent apology for “bothering her” and hung up, making her heart start racing and making her break just a few traffic laws. 

    As she’s driving down the road towards Langdon’s location, it begins to rain. Not a soft drizzle or small, random droplets. It’s as if someone ripped a hole in the clouds. Her visibility goes from 100% to 20% in five seconds and all she can make out is the rainwater streaming down her windshield.

    “Shit,” she mumbles to herself as she parks her car on the side of the road. As she gets out she grabs her emergency bag, containing a Narcan kit.

    Just in case.

    ***

    Cassie and Frank are sober twins

    Summary

    "You're so used to surviving at a level of distress most people can't even imagine; I don't think you can even fathom not existing in it. It is killing you and you're letting it." Jack waited to catch Robby's gaze. "Are you asking me to watch you die, Misha?"

    Robby flinched and averted his gaze further; he felt a surge of all the horrible feelings inside him wash over him, and the monitor's beeping stuttered.

    Jack turned inward; he couldn't bear to look at Robby. This is the precipice; the liminal space where Before becomes After. There's no going back. It is out of his control. Robby either jumps off the roof or he doesn't. Robby either lives or doesn't. Then what? Jack relaxed his grip on reality, simply letting it all fall away with his breath.

    OR

    Robby finally has a breakdown two months after PittFest. Jack fights like hell to keep him safe and out of hospital.

    Summary

    Dennis bit the quick of his thumbnail, nibbling until he drags the skin to a hangnail. Until his tongue blooms with the taste of salty copper. He stops briefly, pulls away to inspect his thumb before ripping off the piece of skin once and for all. A piercing cry snaps his attention and his heart lurches forward, body moving on autopilot. Still, he's drowning.
    _ _ _

    Dennis is a single dad and no one in the Pitt knows. Actually, no one knows he (and his daughter) are unhoused either. That all changes when his baby gets sick and only gets worse, forcing him to show up in the ED distraught.

    Summary

    Dennis always figured he would die in Nebraska; the place he loathed, and missed, and begrudgingly loved. Would he still go to heaven if he was buried in Pittsburgh?

    OR: In which Dennis never finds the abandoned wing of the hospital, so Trinity never finds out he is homeless, Abbot is a part of the street team, and Robby is constantly worried.

    Summary

    When Robby leaves for his three‑month sabbatical, he doesn’t expect anyone to set foot in his empty house — least of all Dennis Whitaker. What begins as one secret night of shelter quickly turns into weeks of quiet routine, daily texts, and growing feelings… all while Robby watches over him through the house security cameras Dennis doesn’t know exist.
