    Summary

    He must have gotten up too fast because his head spins in that light way it does when blood pressure doesn’t keep up. The adrenaline hasn’t settled out yet because his hands are still shaking, in fact all of him is still shaking. Why hasn’t he caught his breath yet? He presses a hand against the pinch in his chest like that might help. And why does it feel like there’s a rod jammed low in his sternum–

    “Oh, fuck,” she says, her gaze sweeping him up and down.

    He glances down to see what’s upset her – maybe she’s just offended that his cologne rubbed off on her or afraid he’ll blame her for the minor road rash that stings all the way up his left arm–

    “Oh –” the knot in his chest is actually a hole and it’s bleeding over his hand “– fuck.”

    or Frank is having a bad day at work. and then he gets shot.

    Summary

    The Pitt but it features the Day Shift crew's Halloween Party/the celebration of Robby being back from his sabbatical (alive).

    Frank Langdon gets sort-of unfairly bullied by his boss and former kind-of lover and then they're forced to talk at a work party.

    I like to make Frank Langdon sad I guess, which I'm learning about myself. Robby is a bad person kinda? Okay well no he is a bad person but I didn't mean to write him like that he was supposed to redeem himself but I like making him be mean to Frank.

    Summary

    Langdon is falling apart. He's made all the changes everyone's asked him to make, but in the end, he feels more defeated than ever. Beat down, exhausted. Fed up, hopeless—until one person in his life gives him a sliver of hope to hold onto. They come to an agreement together.

    “Three months—prove to me that you’re capable of returning to work. Spend those three months with me trying to shape yourself into a better person. Do it under my watch. Convince me that we can put all this shit behind us.”

    Langdon stills. He hardly gives it any consideration before he feels his mouth moving on autopilot.

    “Yes. Yes, I’ll do it.”

    His desperation is still hanging high above him. He feels it in the rapid beating of his heart. Langdon realises again that it’s truly not about the job, it’s about proving himself to someone. He still has a chance, there’s one person willing to give him one.

    Summary

    This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. He’d planned it all out, hadn’t he? Practiced in front of the cracked mirror in his new single bedroom apartment. Forced his unused voice past straining vocal cords. Again, again. Until he could seem like a passable version of his former confident, if not snarky, self.

    This pathetic, shaking man clutching the cold seat of a toilet in the PTMC staff bathroom had never met that person.

    ---

    Or: I put all the angst tropes in a blender, smash Langdon into a wall, and force feed him the smoothie.
