    Summary

    Dennis bit the quick of his thumbnail, nibbling until he drags the skin to a hangnail. Until his tongue blooms with the taste of salty copper. He stops briefly, pulls away to inspect his thumb before ripping off the piece of skin once and for all. A piercing cry snaps his attention and his heart lurches forward, body moving on autopilot. Still, he's drowning.
    _ _ _

    Dennis is a single dad and no one in the Pitt knows. Actually, no one knows he (and his daughter) are unhoused either. That all changes when his baby gets sick and only gets worse, forcing him to show up in the ED distraught.

    Summary

    Dennis always figured he would die in Nebraska; the place he loathed, and missed, and begrudgingly loved. Would he still go to heaven if he was buried in Pittsburgh?

    OR: In which Dennis never finds the abandoned wing of the hospital, so Trinity never finds out he is homeless, Abbot is a part of the street team, and Robby is constantly worried.

    Summary

    When Robby leaves for his three‑month sabbatical, he doesn’t expect anyone to set foot in his empty house — least of all Dennis Whitaker. What begins as one secret night of shelter quickly turns into weeks of quiet routine, daily texts, and growing feelings… all while Robby watches over him through the house security cameras Dennis doesn’t know exist.

    Summary

    “A grown-up in a kid’s body,” his mother liked to say. But did they know the extent of the damage they’d done? A child, forced into adulthood before he was ready, thrust into a life of labor, of faith. A faith that he didn’t even really think he believed in, anyway.

    And it wasn’t his brothers’ fault. Wasn’t his parents' fault, either. It was the hand he had been dealt, and he would live with it. He would.

    or

    Dennis has a bad regression day. Jack and Robby just want their baby to be okay.
