melroseee made The Pitt icons! Which makes me so happy! I now want to go back and change all my posts to include them. This reminded me that I posted a bunch of stories I forgot to link to (yep, still writing way too much!), so to catch up:

Summary:

Jack flashed a grin, but didn't let himself get distracted. "Fun message I got today. It seems that someone rode his midlife crisis to work while conspicuously not wearing a helmet."

Underneath his hand, Robby stilled, his heart beating faster than normal. "What?" he asked, but that was a stall, Robby playing for time to decide on his approach. Which was cute, really, but Jack knew all his tricks.

So he just nodded, mocking. "Yeah. See the thing is, when you do shit, I hear about it."

Summary:

Dana shot him a meaningful look. "She up and says to me that Robby can't stand to be alone, has got the TV on in his bedroom all night."

Jack scoffed. "No, he doesn't."

Dana stilled, her blue eyes locking onto his. And just like that, it went from an idle comment to a moment. A moment that expanded, curling into something weighty, settling leaden in Jack's gut. "That right?" she muttered, and there was a whole epic journey packed into those two words, going from how would you know all the way to how did I not know.

Fuck.

Summary:

The idea of bossing you around is almost tempting enough to lure me from the beach.

The email was from Brian Price, who'd done his residency at PTMC before covid, then sailed straight into a cushy gig at Cedars thanks to family connections and Adamson's recommendation. Robby had quietly hated him, happy to see him go.

Brian's email included a forwarded job listing, seeking a temporary Chief of Emergency Medicine for PTMC, to start July 4th, Robby's last day before his sabbatical. Jack had been expecting Gloria to ask him to step up.

He'd heard nothing from her. And now this, as good as announcing the news: they were bringing in an external hire.

It's finally done. ::collapses::

Summary:

Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"

"MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.

Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.

And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

This is the thing that's been consuming my brain. Part 1 of 4, but it'll be done before the premiere!

"So hot," the other woman agreed, shooting a quick glance out at Jack. "Those arms. Have mercy."

Robby hid a smile. Jack was gonna love hearing about this.

Her friend made an agreeing sort of noise. "Yeah, but I'm gonna be so real with you: the leg kinda freaks me out."

And Robby froze, a ripple of offense sweeping him.

Summary:

"Tell me something that brings you comfort."

"Something that brings me comfort?" Robby shot back, his tone mocking the frivolity of it, because he never was one to just follow directions.

"Yes," Gene said, eternally unfazed. "It can be the smallest thing, whatever comes to mind."

What came to mind was: Pens games, the trails at Frick Park, the rare book collection in the Oliver Room at Carnegie Main, a cortado at Sage Caffe. But what he said was: "Jack."

...wait. Shit.

I realized I should put this here. Overall, this season was fine, better than the last because it wasn't so rushed. But for me all of that was overshadowed by the absolute bullshit that was the Kate and Dennison storyline. My annoyance - and a theory! - under the cut:

( The Diplomat Season 3 )

But Janney, Whitford, and Russell were all good, so ya know. Ymmv. (I do like that I can use this TWW icon again. CJ, my beloved!)

Summary:

Robby finally piped up: "Kind of a shame, though. Guy seemed like your type."

Jack felt himself wanting to bristle, quickly controlling it. Because what the fuck. They'd been entirely wrapped up in each other in the year since Pittfest, Robby finally going to therapy, letting them get more serious than the fuckbuddy deal they'd had going before that. Jack had thought things were going well. "I have a type?" he challenged, raising his eyebrows.

Summary:

"Everyone, can I have your attention, please," she said, using her soccer captain voice. The floor instantly quieted as everyone paused to look at her, curiosity replacing the usual distracted bustle. Parker looked back to Jack, smirking now. "We have a celebrity in our midst."

"Man, what are you on about?" Jack asked, getting a little annoyed now.

Parker flashed a grin. "Dr. Abbot has just officially become the most-cited emergency physician in the entire country," she announced with a little relish.

Summary:

Jack looked from the intern picture to Robby again, rubbing a tired hand over his eyes. "Jesus, this is like a recipe." He gestured between the picture and Robby, young and old. "It's like twink plus seasoning equals daddy. Fuck," he said, a kind of helpless note to it. Then he walked out, like he hadn't just dropped a bomb on Robby's head.

What did that mean?

Summary:

Gifting someone a stethoscope at a milestone was very traditional, he knew, but some traditions should be observed. They kept you anchored to something greater than yourself. And this one was just...warm. Jack always thought of the people who'd given him his steths—Colonel Jacquemin, who'd gifted him his first Littmann when he finished residency, or Lizzie, who'd given him his current Littmann III when Adamson hired him as an attending. It was a reminder of the people who loved you, believed in you, helped you along the way, a physical token of those you carried with you.

Sure, maybe it wasn't exactly Jack's place to give one to Robby, more properly the domain of family or mentors. If Adamson had lived to retire, he would've gifted Robby a steth to celebrate his promotion, Jack was sure. Robby's family was gone, so that wasn't an option, and Jack would be damned if Robby's elevation to one of the highest posts in their field would go uncelebrated.

Summary:

"Congrats again on the award; you deserve it." And with that, she disappeared into the crowd.

Probably off to go plan how to hit on Jack. Jack, who this random doctor wanted to have sex with. Here. At the conference.

Intellectually, Robby knew that was what people did at these things. Drunken hookups at conferences were common, though often denied, if not regretted. Robby had never partaken because that was not his speed, but Jack—

Well, Jack had no such qualms. And at an ED medical conference, he was basically a rockstar. He could probably have anyone he wanted.

Summary:

Robby sagged a little, another tiny rush of air out. Jack pretended not to notice any of it even as it slid through him, his hypothesis gaining evidence, firming in his mind.

No, Jack didn't think anyone ever touched Robby.

He was going to change that.

Summary:

"IPA," Robby called again, a reminder.

"For that, I'm getting you a Bavarian wheat beer, you prissy fuck." But Jack bypassed the respectable Penn Pilsner and grabbed a pack of their hopped-to-shit IPA, hating himself a little for giving in...but it would make Robby smile.

The door banged open, spinning Jack around, senses instantly on alert as a guy rushed in, black bandana tied around his face, pistol pointing at Sal as he shouted. "Open the register! Now!"

Seriously, it's just comical at this point. Someone save me from myself.

"Is it possible Robby thinks you and I had a torrid affair?" Walsh asked later, leaning against the counter next to him.

"Torrid?" he echoed, in disbelief.

"Any affair with me would be torrid, obviously."

Jack made a face at that horrific thought. "I have never implied to Robby that we had an affair, torrid or otherwise, because I don't hate myself."

Summary:

When his phone rang loud in the stillness, waking Jack from the sleep of the dead he'd perfected in war zones half a world away, he sat straight up in bed and knew: something was wrong.

His phone announced it was Dana—and it was 0721—which shot a little thrum of worry through him as he answered. "What happened?" he asked, no preamble. She wouldn't wake him if shit hadn't gone sideways.

"Robby hasn't come in yet and he's not answering his phone," she said, voice grim. "He's never missed a shift without calling." She spoke quietly, probably standing in the middle of the ED, trying to keep up a brave face for everyone else. As much as she could, anyway. People tended to notice when the fucking chief attending didn't show up to work.

Yep, still on my nonsense, whee!

Summary:

Jack had just stepped back onto the main floor when he clocked movement at the ambulance entrance, two guys hurrying in, the smaller one helping a guy with a sweatshirt covered in blood. But something was wrong, some unnamable instinct rising within Jack at the way they moved. It was too fluid, too controlled. Jack knew what the walking wounded looked like, had seen it for years, from warzones to bar fights. This wasn't the injured seeking help; this was men hunting.

Time slowed, Jack's heart rate spiking, the adrenaline dump casting everything in sharp relief—the full ED floor, patients plus shift change meaning twice the usual personnel were here.

Robby was here.

That thought got him moving, Jack approaching laterally. He got there right as the guns came out.

Full-time job writing The Pitt fic, that's me!

Summary:

"I want to be alone, Jack," Robby said, short and sharp and pissy.

Fucking great. Apparently in the 45 minutes since Jack had last seen him, Robby had gone from devastation to anger. This would be fun.

"It's nice to want things," he drawled, deliberately light. "I wanted to walk out of Iraq on my own two feet, but hey. No plan survives contact with the enemy and all that."

Robby turned then, looking at him over the top of the couch, face drawn, eyes dark in the low lights. "Yeah? You my enemy?"

Apparently I now have a full-time job writing fic for these two. What even is my life.

I need an icon for The Pitt and I have no time to make one! Harumph. (life is very hard; woe is me) Until then, our badass Navy medic will have to suffice.

"Yeah, what's with you saying you don't have a best friend?" Jack asked, indignant, waving an illustrative hand toward himself.

Robby held his gaze, his smile fading into something more intense. "'Best friend' isn't the term I'd use for you," he said in a silky voice, the tone he'd promised to never, ever use at work.

It slid through Jack, going straight to his cock, lighting him up everywhere. Oh, fuck him. Jack swallowed hard against his suddenly-dry throat, trying to tamp down on the arousal. "You're right," he said, keeping his voice controlled. "'Superior' works much better."

Summary:

Dana was already explaining: "Mohan was asking if this guy's single," she said, hooking a thumb Jack's way.

Robby lit up like he'd just gotten a gift, turning bemused eyes his way. "Oh, was she," he drawled, enjoying this.

Dana made an indulgent noise. "Apparently she's very taken with our dear Dr. Abbot and wondered if the feeling is mutual." They both looked to Jack then, Dana long-suffering, Robby delighted.

Fuck Jack's life, honestly.

Still enjoying these two, but I think I'm slowing down.

Surprise swept Knox. The words were general, but the way she looked at him held intent; it felt like Shirley defining them as a them. But...maybe he was misreading it? "It already is you and me."

Shirley narrowed her eyes. "Are you gonna be a dick about this?"

Okay, not misreading it. "Odds are good," he drawled with a tiny apologetic smile.
