    Summary

    Jack knows what it feels like when the world is ending.

    The world has ended for Jack Abbot a dozen times over, and the sun still insisted on rising the next day, illuminating the city skyline, warming his tired face, and bringing in a new wave of patients.

    That’s the only reason why, when he gets the phone call from Dana, he doesn’t immediately fall apart. He rolls out of bed, pulls on his leg, and returns to the emergency department that he left only four hours ago.

    The first words out of Dana’s mouth are "She’s stable", god bless her.

    “Where is she.”

    “South twenty.”

    Summary

    “My dad died today.”

    She can feel him pause, and start to nod before she finishes.

    “Eighteen years ago. That’s a long time,” she breathes.

    “...Not for some things,” he says hoarsely, carefully. “Not for that.”

    Or: The snowed-in fic where Samira finally confronts her feelings- on many things.

    Summary

    “Will you teach me?” she asks, an unconscious echo of her first approach to him.

    “That’s not what we’ve been doing, Samira?”

    She finishes the rest of her beer and puts it back down on the table with a loud clunk. “Will you teach me to do a crike with my eyes closed?” She looks up at him. Her turn to counter, now, with a purposeful, “Jack?”

    His jaw ticks. She smiles.

     

    After Pittfest, Samira asks Dr. Abbot for a crash course in combat medicine. She gets more than she bargained for.
