    Summary

    It’s hard to believe that the boy before him is 18.

    He doesn’t look it.

    Not in the slightest.

    He’s naïve in the same way the boys who come straight out into the field always are, a little too keen, far too starry eyed, too kind for the men around him.

    And as he sits here, bleeding, dying, it’s even harder to believe that he’s an adult.

    He’s so young, so soft, so scared, face screwed up with pain as he clutches at Jack.

    They’re fucked.

    They’re so fucked.

    Summary

    The first thing Dennis hears every morning is the sound of the grease trap hissing in the shop below, then feels his four-year-old son wriggling deeper into his ribs, like he wants to crawl back into Dennis’ shriveled old sack of a uterus.

    He’s not sure which one wakes him first.

    (Or, Whitaker is a struggling single dad, an MS4 who is about to graduate and crushing on two old men).

    Summary

    His new Papa’s name is Andrew David Cody according to the crumpled adoption papers that have been abandoned on the floorboards; the papers that declare that his new name is Dennis Simon Cody. His new Papa hadn’t smiled at the name change, instead dropping one of those large, scarred hands over his curls and planting a small kiss on Denny’s head, keeping his back straight.

    Or: Denny had been five when he had landed in the arms of a foster dad out in Southern California. He had been six when someone had stolen him right out of Andrew’s arms and dropped him off in the middle of Broken Bone.
    Now, at eighteen, Denny can’t seem to get enough breath into his chest as he stares at the man next to Dr. Abbot.

    Summary

    Two attendings, one new psychologist working both the day and night shifts on a rotation. You could have sworn you heard both of them call “dibs,” and you’re more than willing to entertain the both of them.

    Summary

    Abbot didn’t make you uncomfortable, per se. But the nerves that had welled around him during your first few weeks at the Pitt had never really gone away. If you were hard-pressed to examine and classify your feelings, you would (grudgingly) sort them into the mild to moderately romantic category. You blamed him for that entirely.

    It wasn't fair, of course. He was handsome, knowledgeable, charming when he wanted to be. He was an amazing physician, an excellent teacher. And it wasn't his fault you had a bit of competency kink. Abbot had never made you feel anything but valued—and nervous.

    Besides, it was embarrassing to admit that you had a crush on a man that you’d hardly looked in the eye for the last few years.
