    Summary

    There’s a haze that comes with being in so much pain you can barely think, a haze that Frank imagines should be behind him by now after being sober for over a year. He’d almost forgotten what this haze feels like.

    The entire ED is underwater, every word spoken and each sound from the various machines muffled and distant. There’s a faint ringing in the background of it all, along with a sensation that the world is tilting back and forth with each step he takes.

    or: langdon tries to get through the day with appendicitis. he doesn't succeed. he goes from robby’s resident to robby’s patient, forcing them to put their interrelational tension on the back burner.

    Summary

    The mom didn’t back off.

    “Come on,” she nudged, “tell me you’re not single. A man like you shouldn’t be.”

    “Well…” Robby said, exhaling softly, “actually, you see that blonde nurse outside? That’s my girlfriend.”

    Jack froze.

    Ms. Campbell seemed as caught off guard as Jack himself, the smile on her face faltering as the words sank in.

    It made sense. Of course it made sense.

    Robby and Dana.

    Or, Robby and Dana use each other as pretend significant others whenever a patient doesn’t take no for an answer. Jack, being new, has no idea about the arrangement.

    Summary

    “We have an incoming suspected head trauma and mild hypothermia victim. Unconscious but stable. ETA 5 minutes. Possibly one of our staff.”

    “One of ours? Did they say who?” Robby asked.

    “They found Whitaker’s badge on the patient.”

    -

    Or: Nobody finds out Dennis' secret after Pittfest. Until the consequences of that brings him in as a patient.

    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!
