    Summary

    That’s his bright spot, though—the thing he clings to on his first day, then continues to hold onto tightly thereafter: Mel.

    Where he had felt out of step with everyone else, he and her were right on beat together, dancing around the ED, just as they had on her first day. He had been shocked how easily they picked up where they’d left off. There was no wariness towards him, no undercurrent of judgement, no hesitation to let him treat a patient. She didn’t hold him back, she pushed him forward. It was what he needed more than anything.
    .
    .
    .
    OR: The only thing that really makes Frank feel good about being back at the Pitt is Mel. He holds on tight to her, even when other men in the ED seem to want her too.

    Summary

    Lando was late again, by exactly one minute.

    Oscar glanced at his watch, then at him. “Late. We start tomorrow.”

    That set Lando off immediately. He hissed under his breath, furious, but careful not to shout inside the library. 

    “By a fucking minute?!”

    “Irresponsible,” Oscar said flatly, as if Lando’s outburst barely registered.

    Or, Lando Norris, a fourth-year business management student and captain of the university’s soccer team, is one failure away from being benched, which could also jeopardize his graduation. Oscar Piastri, on the other hand, is a third-year medical student, top of his class, a certified nerd, and brilliant enough to tutor. A university scholar that tutors for the money.

    Oscar is Lando’s tutor. Lando, used to getting away with everything, money, a stellar reputation, a name that opens doors, has never had to struggle to stay on top. Oscar despises people like him. He hates that someone can coast through life on charm and wealth while others, like him, have to work relentlessly for every scrap of success. Lando embodies everything Oscar loathes.

    Summary

    It's been three years, and everyone seems to have moved on except Mike Wheeler. Stuck in the same routine, days blending together over and over. He's opted to accept his fate, but some feelings can't stay repressed forever.

    As he grapples with his demons, he realizes escape is an option, leading him down a twisted road of memories past. Reliving each trauma reminds him, however, exactly why he was choosing to conform all along. If Mike can escape Vecna's curse, he just might rewrite a love story we've heard before.

    Summary

    "Significant pulmonary contusion and multiple rib fractures, and there's very likely a subdural hematoma in there too,” Garcia says grimly, sounding like she's citing it to herself rather than to anyone else in the room. “We’re lucky it's most probably small, but given her fluctuating GCS it still concerns me quite a bit. Also, besides the shard of metal, the bruising and swelling along her abdomen suggests the possibility of internal bleeding as well, but we need to get in the OR to fully evaluate the severity of it."

    “Jesus King,” he murmurs. “You were supposed to have the day off.”

     

    or: there's a car accident on mel's day off. she ends up at the pitt anyways.
