    Summary

    Between processing the unhealed grief of losing his wife, trying to keep from drinking himself into a coma, and struggling with his freshly grown feelings for his business partner, accepting a new case is probably not the smartest thing March has ever done.

    Summary

    “…You serious?” Healy scoffed, disbelief nestled into the edges of his face. “Come on, March, that’s-“

    “An in-depth investigation tactic,” March finished for him, brain too buzzed to think about any potential implications right now, “I work best when I’m in the zone.”

    “And you want to get in the zone of someone I’m… Wooing?”

    “You make it sound weird.”

    Healy started to smile. Because of course he fucking did. “It is weird, March.”

    or: healy, supposedly, has more skill than march in the seduction department. like any seasoned p.i. worth their salt, march investigates this claim. thoroughly.

    Summary

    This was coming to a head, Robby simply strung along after his own barrage of emotions.

    It was pitiful, to be thinking like this while being kissed stupid, hands skimming over warm skin. His heart was in his throat, stopping his breath. He needed to say something, say how tangible this emotion felt, a real, hulking thing that sat next to him in bed alone, that followed him around the ED, that sat heavy in his chest every time he was in Dennis’s orbit. How terrified he was. How mortifying this was, to be seen right through, exposed and vulnerable, his soft underbelly on full display. Robby’s head was spinning, mind clouded with vitriol, years and years of running, of waiting for the other shoe to drop. His mouth started to form the words, to push him away, to drop to his knees in prayer, the words that fell from his lips instead, was—

    “I think I’m in love with you.”

    His stupid, treacherous mouth.

    --

    Robby longs for something he's never been able to grasp.

    Summary

    “Maybe ‘cause I’m a fuckup, and I’m- I’m a bad fucking detective, and a bad fucking dad, and a shitty person, okay, Healy? And-”

    Healy’s hand was at his throat, now, just barely applying the faintest hint of pressure with his thumb pressed into his Adam's apple. March’s eyelashes fluttered.

    Healy’s eyes were serious, genuine- “Jus’ start by being good for me, okay?”

    Summary

    The time elapsed between Jackson Healy realizing he wanted to fuck Holland March and actually fucking him was about ten seconds.
    In Jack’s defense, they were a long ten seconds.
    Jack isn’t the usually impulsive one between the two of them, but does it really count as impulsive if the idea has been brewing in the back of his brain for a while but he’s only just now gotten around to identifying it?
