Summary:

Jack successfully distracted Robby with talk of an atypical stroke in a twenty-year-old as they walked just down the street. Robby was so focused on asking him questions that he didn't much pay attention as Brandon led the way inside, past the bouncers and through a dark doorway, the low beat of sensual music rising as they entered. Which meant that Jack got the unparalleled joy of watching Robby as he pulled up short just inside, his eyes widening as he took in the stage, the glittering lights, the gleaming poles, and the parade of half-naked women on display. "What the fuck," he muttered, not a question.

"Oh, have you not heard of Lola's? It's all the rage," Jack said innocently, trying to control his grin.

Robby locked onto him, expression going stormy. "Et tu, Brute?"

Summary:

"Why would you need to be on PrEP?" Robby asked slowly, suddenly feeling like he was floating outside his body, watching this scene from a distance.

Jack looked at him obviously. "'Cause I'm planning on getting railed and it's the responsible thing to do," he said, like this should be no surprise at all rather than Jack coming out to him. At Robby's silence, Jack narrowed his eyes. "Got a problem with that?"

Robby blinked, slamming back into his body, aware of his elevated heart rate, the sweat prickling along his lower back and at the backs of his knees, making his dress slacks clammy. "Nope," he said, because he didn't. He didn't.

He just...hadn't known, that was all.

Summary:

Parker had just gotten the patient's CT results when Toomarian pulled up short by central and stuttered out, "So, um, is it possible that Dr. Robby and Dr. Abbot are about to make out in Trauma 1?"

The intern clocking their weirdness on day one? That might be a new record.

Parker didn't bother looking up from her tablet. "Now that sounds like the definition of not my business," she drawled. "But if you see any hot man-on-man action, note the date and time. Ahmad's got a pool going."

I did a big bang,y'all! Of course my story ended up being twice as long as I thought, for no discernible reason. Ain't that just the way of it...

Summary:

As Jack prepped the sutures, he nodded. "You'll stay with me, then," he said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "For as long as the repairs take."

Something clenched in Robby's chest, a pained sort of longing at war with sober caution. "It's an imposition," he said, voice creaking on it. He swallowed, trying to lighten things. "Besides, you'd get sick of me."

"I got news, friend," Jack said, dry. He favored Robby with a soft look, a tender sort of reminder there: "And family can't impose."

An instinct within Robby viscerally rejected that.

Summary:

"It's late to start riding," Jack said as Robby straightened, a neutral statement that was a protest nonetheless. They knew how to say things without saying anything, the two of them.

Maybe that was part of the problem.

Robby stared down at the still-sleeping baby. "I have a lot of things to see," he said, almost to himself, a double layer to that, one that Jack found oddly heartening.

"And people to love," he said, taking a flier on it because why the fuck not.

Summary:

Jack barked out, "Ellis, sitrep."

Parker pulled up short, her head whipping his way, surprise in her face. As soon as she caught sight of him, that surprise turned to mockery. "Major Jackass, reporting for duty," she drawled as she joined Jack in the little well of space off BH 2.

"That's 'Major Jackass, sir,'" he drawled right back.

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::

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:

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.

"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.

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.

"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.
