    Summary

    J is for Jumped

    ***

    The first thought John can muster as he inches back to consciousness is that Marigold has never thrown him so hard before. He is pressed to the ground, cheek against concrete rather than dirt, and when he blinks, it's dark. He must have been lying here for a while, or else he set out riding far too late. Father will be angry. It isn't right for the heir apparent to be prancing around on a pony anyways, let alone past curfew. 

    OR

    Carter is attacked, but remembers none of it.

    Summary

    L is for Limp

    **

    There are so many things in the trauma room explicitly grasping for Kerry's attention. The patient on the table, yelling out as the team tries to keep him restrained. The monitors attached to his chest, wailing and flashing their discontentment at an abnormally rapid heart rate. Every few seconds, one of the nurses shoots her a question about the dosage of haldol required, or whether she wants hard or soft restraints, or her opinion on the cause of the man's obvious agitation: psychoactive drugs, maybe? A head injury? Infection? Plain old ETOH?

    As she turns her mind to each of these things, though, she has to consciously force it away from what it really wants to monitor. John Carter.

    OR

    Following his return to work post-stabbing, Kerry notices Carter isn't doing well.

    Summary

    “Shh, hey, don't worry about that. Don't worry about that, man. I came to check on you.” He finds his voice has softened to barely more than a whisper. “I heard- I heard you were sick.”

    Carter looses a weak scoff, eyes fluttering closed. “G-got stabbed. S’not usually conducive to good health.

    Peter rolls his eyes, though a small smile creeps to his face anyway at the confirmation that yes, despite everything, Carter is still somehow here. Breathing and talking and joking. A far cry from the lifeless weight against Peter’s palms when he rolled him over in the trauma room, unconscious and barely breathing.

    OR

    Carter gets sick at home following the stabbing, and Peter comes to check on him.

    Summary

    Michael Robby Robinavitch doesn’t do well with anniversaries.

    Some especially, are even worse than others.

    ─────────

    It’s been almost fifteen years since John Truman Carter III has disappeared from the lives of his former colleagues and friends, asking for them not to try and contact him, and, for almost a decade and a half, Peter Benton and the others have painfully honoured his wishes.

    But when the old County General crew sees him on the news, working at the PTMC during the Pittfest shooting, they can clearly see the man is not fine.

    And then, Valentine’s Day arrives.

    ------

    Or, Peter Benton finally goes to get his pupil back just at the right time.

    Summary

    Peter looks between his student and his teacher. He doesn't understand how they got so close, she doesn't seek Peter outside of the surgical suite, yet she breaks bread with Carter?

    He breathes through the confusion and the hurt as he stalks out of the cafeteria.

    Peter's having trouble settling into his pedes rotation; if only he understood the secret everyone else seems to know already.
