    Summary

    “Holy shit,” Santos says. “There’s a baby priest in triage.”

    -

    Dennis Whitaker, in his last year of seminary, is delighted to be assigned to a rectory in Pittsburgh, and to the hospital chaplaincy that comes along with it. Finally, he's out into the world, where he can be of real use. Less welcome is Doctor Robinavitch, the senior attending of the ER, who seems to resent Whitaker's presence to the point of deliberate avoidance, even though the man is coming apart at the seams and could clearly use a friendly ear. Still, Whitaker is certain he'll find a way to get through to him, and make the most of the last twelve months before he's ordained.

    It's just that lately he's started to have the strangest dreams.

    Or: Dennis Whitaker and Michael Robinavitch's lovestruck, sacrilegious year of magical thinking.

    Summary

    'Unbeknownst to Robby, however, he would not be leaving, and it was entirely due to that conversation. Because of that conversation, he was going to lose one of his doctors today.

    He did not know this yet.

    Nobody knew this yet.

    They wouldn’t know until twenty minutes later, when Whitaker went to do that neuro check on the man in South 14.

    AKA: What if instead of Emma who gets assaulted in Episode 11, it’s Whitaker, and then things go from bad to fucking catastrophic very, very quickly, because turns out Whitaker’s a very, very good liar, with a very, very large and very, very dangerous secret?

    What if Robby’s guilt is strong enough to stop his doomed-ass sabbatical, due to the overwhelming responsibility he feels to 'atone for what he's done'?

    What if Whitaker has a chronic condition and some really shitty history he never discussed with anyone, and Robby can't stop being a doctor, no matter how much he keeps trying?

    Summary

    Emergency medicine thrives on adrenaline, split-second decisions, and controlled chaos—things Dennis Whitaker handles better than most. What he doesn’t handle well is being the patient.
    When a sudden collapse in the ER draws attention he never wanted, Dennis is forced to navigate suspicion, concern, and the risk of a secret coming to light: a heart that has never played by the rules.

    Or a story where Dennis has a heart condition and tries his best to hide it from the people he calls family.

    Summary

    22:55 Mouse: Hi, I saw ur post. Idk why I messaged, but we have the same date. Not seen anyone else with the same date here yet. Sorry, feel free to ignore this 🙂

    Robby stared at his screen, scrolling through the forum when the message came through, his brows pinching together. He was still trying to figure out how to use the site, but he felt like he had gotten the hang of it.

    He wasn’t even entirely sure why he was there.

    or

    Robby has picked out a date to end his life. September 5th. He connects with a stranger on a forum that happens to have picked the exact same date. Dennis wants a friend for the first time in his life before he says goodbye to the world as he knows it. Can they be there for one another? Can they make it through their darkest times?
