Summary
Everything was burning. His whole world, crumbling and turning to ash around him.
Zuko was aware he was shaking, he was aware of the sob building in his chest. But he couldn’t care. Not when that ugly red wound was staring at him, covering his uncle’s left shoulder. His clothes smoldered and the air smelled of burnt flesh.
Someone touched his shoulder, and Zuko flinched. Hard.
He whirled around, fist raised and smoking with the promise of fire.
The Water Tribe girl, Katara, backed off with her hands raised in a peaceful gesture.
“I can help,” she promised, her voice soft, her gaze sinking to Zuko’s uncle who was lying unmoving on the ground before him. “Zuko, I can heal him.”
“No,” he finally spoke, his voice raw and hoarse and too quiet. He hated himself. He wished he could find the anger that drove him, but it was buried beneath the grief of the idea that Uncle was going to die and it would be his fault.
Katara’s face contorted in frustration. Her fists balled at her sides. “Zuko, if you don’t let me help he’s going to die!”
Or: What if Zuko let Katara heal Iroh after "The Chase", and that's when Zuko joins the Gaang?

Summary
“Some things aren’t built to last.”
Dennis Whitaker has spent his entire life trying to outrun his father’s voice and the freezing shadows of a Nebraska silo. He thought he’d found sanctuary in the sterile, frantic heart of the ER, but a single punch from a drunk patient sends him spiraling back into the cold.
Dazed, concussed, and blurring the line between a hospital hallway and a slaughterhouse barn, Dennis lets the truth slip to the one person he was most desperate to impress.
Dr. Robby was supposed to leave for his sabbatical at sunset, but with Dennis shivering in a hospital bed and whispering about lambs in the frost, Robby realizes the road can wait.

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 has good days. Dennis has awful days. He thinks he manages fine.
But when the trauma resurfaces and the scars ache and burn, he feels himself swallowed whole, suffocating, writhing, begging for the end to the unsightly stain that is his existence.
He doesn't realize just how many people care for him -- the way a family is supposed to.
The way his family never did.

Summary
There are cops in the ED when Dennis arrives for his shift.
Not necessarily unusual, sure, but he could've done without the unwelcome news that there's a knife-wielding maniac on the loose in their immediate vicinity.
Figures this would happen on a Monday.
