Summary
Mike doesn’t say anything. Not at first. Suspended in disbelief, Mike stares down at the weight in his arms, at what was once Will but is now just a body, with wide, unseeing eyes.
And with that realisation, something anguished and animal-like inside Mike tears loose.
This isn’t Will, not anymore.
He screams and screams until his voice gives out, until he’s sobbing soundlessly, shoulders shaking with the force of his tears. Then he hunches over Will’s body and refuses to let anyone take him away from him.
Time drags on, the sun sinking until it disappears behind the horizon. Still, Mike doesn’t let go. It’s only at nightfall, when Mike’s arms have gone numb and he’s trembling from exhaustion, that they manage to pry Will from him.
The sound he makes when Will is lifted from the cradle of his arms is worse than any scream. Mike reaches out instinctively, fingers grasping at the empty air, closing on nothing.
Because there’s nothing left for him to hold.
Will is gone.
Or the fic where Will dies in Mike’s arms…
Except he doesn’t.Bookmarked by witlessdreams

Summary
The last time Dennis had a conversation with Robby before the day they tumbled down a bridge together was a little over a year ago. It was minutes before dawn. The hallway light was just bright enough to illuminate the horror in the older man’s eyes.
“I’m sorry,” he said to Dennis, choking on the words and rubbing a palm over his eyes. His chest was heaving with breaths as if he'd just witnessed the end of the world instead of holding Dennis naked in his arms.
*
Or;
A year after a drunk hook-up with his attending at the end of his rotation, Dennis is back to the Pitt as a resident.
