Summary
“So I say, before I’m thinking through, I say am getting married,” Geno says and glances up at Sid and then back down again. “They say to American?” Geno seems reluctant to continue. Sid’s stuck on trying to figure out who Geno is marrying and why he didn’t tell Sid about it. “I say, ‘no, to Canadian.'”
Sid makes a face. Because seriously, Sid feels like he would’ve heard if Geno was dating someone that seriously. But then again, he had no idea Geno had a kid until he was sitting in a hotel room in fucking Finland.
“Who?” Sid finally asks when Geno seems like he’s not going to continue.
Geno takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. “You.”
“Me what?” Sid asks stupidly.
or
The summer Russia invaded Ukraine and Geno had to marry Sid: a love story.

Summary
So this is how it goes.
The thought came without drama. Just a simple conclusion reached ahead of his body, ahead of everyone else, ahead of modern medicine.
He grabbed the collar of T’s scrub with barely responding fingers, speaking through the liquid iron in his mouth. His voice felt like pounded meat. “No benzos.”
And then, just when the world started to narrow in static, as if it weren’t enough, his stupid brain refused to let go -
Robby is going to read the goddamned letter.
Or
During Robby's sabbatical, Langdon left for an expat mission. Could they survive the consequence?

Summary
He told Mikey he wouldn't touch another pill for as long as he lived, something he's sure the guy has heard from every passing person who's entered inpatient, sat in those hard unforgiving metal chairs. They probably stopped keeping a tally of how many showed back up again with the same solemn promise as if they forgot they already broke it the first time.
Addiction is a constant fight, where the opponent learns how to lose more than they'll ever win. Relapse expected, it's just how it goes.
Frank just has a devastating reason to be so terribly certain he won't.
In the aftermath of a harsh sober reality, Dr. Frank Langdon returns to The Pitt to face whatever mess he left behind while trying not to fray apart at the seams.

Summary
Back from his sabbatical, Robby navigates an ED that has learned how to fill in the space he'd left. Particularly, how Frank Langdon had grown into the reliable senior resident that Robby had always expected him to be.
(And maybe that had been part of the problem. Frank may have put Robby on a pedestal for being his attending and mentor, but Robby had done the same thing in pinning his every hope and vision for the future on Frank.)
