    Summary

    Robby follows him as Jack starts working on the coffee, taking a seat at the peninsula that divides the kitchen from the rest of the apartment.

    “You still like it burned or have you gotten better taste since last time?” he teases, throwing a quick glance at Robby, who makes a face at him.

    They don’t do this often, crashing at each others’ places. Jack honestly can’t remember when exactly that last time was. Close to a year, he thinks, a Pirates game with a rain delay that then went into extra innings. It’s not that they don’t hang out when their schedules allow for it, it’s just that there’s always been more of a distance in their relationship outside work, like somehow the halls (and roof) of PTMC allow for more vulnerability than the halls of their own homes.

    “At this point I'll take whatever you give me and I'll like it,” Robby says, definitely with a grimace this time.
    -----
    OR, five times Jack comes home to Robby unexpectedly at his place, plus one.

    Summary

    Jack Abbot was very clearly not the kind of guy that Samira Mohan was into.

    Which was fine. There was a whole laundry list of reasons that women didn’t flock to Jack Abbot. He was too short: women expected alphas to be taller. He was approaching fifty. He had a job he was completely dedicated to that did not lend itself to a normal sleeping cycle— or a normal life, for that matter. He had one factory-model leg and one titanium and carbon fiber aftermarket fix for a right-side BKA he’d undergone in Germany. He was chock-full of C-PTSD and anxiety and depression and maladaptive coping mechanisms that ten years of therapy had finally put a slight dent in. He had a wife named Maggie who’d been dead for almost seven years. And he hadn’t had sex in those seven years, apart from the handful of emergency DRIs he’d been able to help with here at the Pitt.

    ----------

    Abbot is the Pitt's emergency contact for designation-related incidents.
    Mohan doesn't quite know how she feels about that.
    Until, one day, she finds that she needs him.

    Summary

    "It's not a thing. Occasional…casual…" Why was he justifying himself to his 17-year-old not-kid? He took a breath. "A month? We're not dating or anything. And it's completely top secret. You can't tell anyone. Not your mom, not Langdon, especially not Nurse Dana."

    Jake swallowed, eyes fixed on Jack as he finally walked into the kitchen, moving to make coffee, the picture of at-ease, as if they were well-established and not freaking the kid out. "Right. Your secret situationship is safe with me," he agreed.

    "What's a situationship?" Jack asked, looking over his shoulder.

    "I -- maybe you should get one of the kids at work to explain it," he said, going red again, sinking down in the seat as if the kitchen table itself might swallow him.

    Summary

    Love is a lot like surgery: sometimes you have to take risks to succeed and most times there are unexpected side effects.

    Harry is back in a hospital room after an Auror sting gone wrong and nobody is amused at this point. It's starting to become somewhat of a familiar scene for Ron and Hermione. This time his healer is one Draco Malfoy so it's actually a /little/ funny when something goes wrong during recovery.
