Summary
Forced to leave medical school because he could no longer afford it, Dennis Whitaker takes a job as a janitor in Pittsburgh's prestigious PTMC hospital. Though his days are spent cleaning blood and trauma rooms rather than saving lives, working in the ER is the closest he has been to his dream in years. Determined not to let go of his passion for medicine, Dennis finds himself drawn back into the world he thought he had lost forever. But what if a doctor discovers his talent and gives everything to help him. What if Michael Robinavitch finds a new life purpose through a talented young man who seemed incapable of leaving his mind.
Or, a Hucklerobby AU where Dennis is a janitor, Robby being the one willing to give him everything he ever wanted.

Summary
"You aren't misreading things," Robby says quickly. He's fucking this up, royally. "We're friendly with each other."
Dennis cracks a grin. "'Friendly with each other.' Let me guess, you're one of those old men who's allergic to admitting that they have friends?"
"Fuck off!" he gasps through a startled laugh. Dennis is already giggling. "This old man has plenty of friends, thanks." A lie, but Dennis couldn't possibly know that.
"I'm sure you do," Dennis says. "And, you know, thanks. For including me in that category." He smiles.
"Right," Robby says. His chest kind of hurts. He's pretty sure this is what the kids call 'being friendzoned.' "I mean, you're welcome?"
Dennis laughs again, and Robby decides that maybe he can live with being friends if it means he gets to keep making Dennis smile like that.
Robby wants to be a good mentor to Dennis. Maybe even a good friend to him, if that's what Dennis wants (which, apparently, he does). It's just kind of difficult when Robby is drawn to Dennis like a moth to a flame.
And who the fuck is Cole?

Summary
Dennis Whitaker was right where he wanted to be.
Well, maybe not with who he wanted to be. He couldn’t help but try to imagine that the hands that were currently gripping at his waist were those big and calloused hands that were squeezing his shoulders a few hours before.
He couldn’t help but imagine that the smooth cheek rubbing against his neck was instead thick with beard, giving just that right itchy feeling that directed his blood right to his—
Not drunk enough then. He needed more.
Or
Dennis just wanted a night out and he never thought he would en up at the ER he worked at with a head laceration, drunk and stuck under the constant checking of his Attending.

Summary
A violent daytime storm knocks out the power. Robby and Whitaker find themselves trapped in darkness and stifling heat for hours, layers come off, walls come down, and one impulsive, desperate kiss changes everything
How do you pretend something never happened when you can still taste it? As the storm rages and the ER demands their focus, Robby and Whitaker are forced to confront the terrifying truth: the kiss didn’t just break the rules, it broke something open inside both of them.
(recommended: Read Confined Spaces on my profile for better context!)

Full-season expansion of 'Confined Spaces'.
Confined Spaces: "When the elevator stalls mid-shift, trapping Robby and Whitaker between floors, it should just be a small, quick, glitch. Instead, a power outage, a head injury, and too much heat in too small a space, force everything they've been pretending not to feel into the open, leading to a breathtaking first kiss”
This story expands that moment into one complete shift. It will explore; what was happening in the Pitt before the power outage, a deeper view into the intense hours they were stuck and will follow the complicated aftermath across the rest of the shift.
