Summary
Dennis hesitated, then mumbled, “He grabbed my shoulders earlier.”
Trinity gave him a look that said continue.
“It wasn’t even a big thing,” he said quietly. “It was only a second. But it felt like...” He struggled for words, cheeks warming again. “Like he left fingerprints on my nervous system.”
Trinity let out a low whistle. “Oh, you are gone. You are absolutely gone.”
Dennis hid his face in a pillow. “I hate you.”
“You love me. Tell me more about your medically concerning reaction to our boss touching you.”
He grumbled into the pillow, “Let’s watch your movie”. His skin still sizzled with the ghost of Robby’s grip, and no amount of denial was cooling it down.

Summary
The day began badly, the coffee machine was broken, a damp sticky note apologizing with a sad face. Robby stared at it, surrounded by the hum of lights and the rumble of thunder. The Pitt waited beyond the door, bright, loud, merciless. He sighed, adjusted his stethoscope, then heard someone clear their throat.

Summary
Every morning for two weeks straight, Dean Archer walked into the Emergency Department with two cups of coffee—one black, the other with oat milk and a cinnamon dusting that no one else dared order in front of him, the extra shot of vanilla scent wafting around him. The first cup was his usual, the one that spoke to his no-nonsense, straight-to-business attitude. The second, however, was a peculiar thing. It was almost a little too sweet, too delicate for someone with such a hardened reputation.
He never commented on it, never acknowledged the oddity of the order, nor did he mention how it seemed to be the only thing that broke his stoic silence. He simply held both cups as if they weighed the same, his expression unwavering, his footsteps as purposeful as ever. There was a ritualistic quality to it, like clockwork. He would walk past the nurses’ station with a quick nod to those who acknowledged him, and without so much as a glance, he’d hand off the second cup—always to Dr. Hannah Asher. Wordlessly, his eyes never lingering, and without fail, she’d take it from him, her fingers brushing lightly against his.

Summary
They stood in silence for a few more moments, the elevator descending steadily. The familiar hum of machinery outside, the distant chatter of staff in the hallways—it was all a reminder that life had gone on while they’d been locked in that small, sterile space, trying to save two lives.
Dean’s gaze flicked toward her, and for a moment, their eyes met, the unspoken understanding between them hanging heavy in the air. But before anything more could pass between them, the elevator jerked suddenly.
Hannah’s breath hitched in surprise as the elevator came to an abrupt stop. The soft hum of the machinery went silent, and for a moment, the world seemed to freeze.

Summary
Hannah Asher knew better than to fall for men like Dean Archer.
She had spent years letting herself be drawn to danger, to things she shouldn’t want—things that burned too brightly and left her singed. Addiction had been one form of it. Reckless love had been another. She had worked hard to leave both behind, to build herself into the woman she wanted to be. A woman who made good choices.
Dean Archer was not a good choice.

Summary
When Sam's friend needs a house-sitter for his place in the country, Steve jumps at the chance. Six months rent-free to do nothing but draw and paint and wander the countryside, looking for inspiration? It was like a dream. But when he gets lost in a storm and nearly falls into a pond he starts to rethink the whole like a dream aspect of life in the country. And when a red-eyed, sharp-clawed, silver-fanged creature rises out of the darkness, Steve is one hundred percent certain the dream's morphed into a nightmare.
...until it gives him a cup of tea.
(Inspired partly by this prompt a supernatural creature is supposed to scare you but instead it gives you a cup of tea and a blanket because you're having a bad day and you keep coming back and partly by this painting.)

Summary
The telescope was just supposed to help him with the fine motor functions of his prosthetic - his (not that kind of doctor) Doctor had even suggested it. So when he looks through the scope and spies someone looking back at him... someone kinda cute... Well, it's not his fault if things escalate, right?
