    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker can work the ER on caffeine, adrenaline, and pure spite. He can charm patients, antagonise coworkers, argue with anyone in authority, and keep moving long past the point any sane person would collapse.

    Dr. Michael Robinavitch sees straight through him. Chief attending, unflappable to nonsense, and far too perceptive for Dennis’s comfort, Robby becomes the one person who refuses to be distracted by Whitaker’s reckless competence and practiced chaos. What begins as curiosity sharpens into something far more dangerous: trust.

    Summary

    Everything is fine. Everything is absolutely peachy fucking keen.

    When the night shift calls Dennis in a few hours early, he goes without complaint. He knows how miserable a shift can get without enough hands on deck. But lack of sleep slowly starts to catch up with him.

    Dennis Whitaker does not faint. That would be embarrassing. He’s on the floor for perfectly reasonable, perfectly respectable reasons. He does not need a banana bag. He does not need the day off.

    He just needs a little bit of sleep.

    Or: Dennis has a bad day at work. Robby has Jack pick him up to babysit him at his and Robby’s apartment until Robby gets off shift. When Dennis still can’t force himself to sleep, his Attendings take it upon themselves to tire him out.

    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker has never needed fate to tell him who he’s meant to be.
    Doctor. Full stop.

    He just really didn’t expect that on his very last rotation of medical school, his new attending would casually speak the words inked around his bicep.
    ---
    Robby has spent years believing soulmates and fate are for two kinds of people: fools and the forgiven. It’s easier than admitting what it would mean if the words on his ribs weren’t a mistake.

    It’s simple, really:
    Whitaker’s his mentee. His legacy, maybe.
    Not his soulmate.

    And if Robby has to burn down every possibility to keep it that way, he will.

    Summary

    It’s been a long string of long, miserable days. More than Dennis can count.

    Sometimes, in his head, he realises he has this mindset that because of the fact he’s in a happy relationship, he should be happy all the time, even when things go wrong, and it’s hard, when he feels like shit because he finds himself getting upset, at himself, for the very fact that he’s… experiencing emotions?

    Jack and Robby have tried, they’ve gone out of their way to reassure him that he’s allowed to be upset and angry and everything else under the sun, but it’s hard, it’s hard, because he can’t shake the feeling that he’s not allowed.
