Summary
Jack was poised for a beautiful three-pointer when Jake spoke, "So, hey, what's it feel like to get fucked?"
The surprise of it scattered his focus for an instant, but figuring that was what Jake wanted, Jack let muscle memory pull him through, releasing the basketball—and getting nothing but net, fuck yeah.
Then he looked over at Jake and tipped his head, nonchalant. "Vulnerable."

Summary
Denial. Robby could recite the stages of grief like a prayer. But this? No, it simply wasn’t true. He’d seen Jack, what, an hour and a half before 8:24? Jack, who’d joked about…something. What was it? Hawkeye, that was it. Jack had called Robby ‘Hawkeye.’ And then he’d left, saying he’d see him tonight. Jack had said specifically that, he’d said he’d see Robby tonight. That wasn’t…that just wouldn’t make sense.
“No, he, uh…he’s back on duty in a couple hours, he’ll be coming in for his shift.”
It was such an inane thing to say. Exactly the sort of thing he’d find heartrendingly innocent in the family of a patient, when delivering the bad news. Not rational. Not real. But this had to be real, Jack had to be coming in for his shift. Handover was in two hours.
Officer Anders stepped in. “We’d like you to come down to the station with us to identify the body.”
-----
Robby finds out that he's Jack's emergency contact in the worst possible way: when he's called in to identify the body.
Can be a sequel to 'Day or Night,' but also works as a standalone. Title from 'I Was an Island' by John-Allison Weiss.

Summary
"If you really want to know, the hot new thing is an app called findr. It's for bougie professionals who like to pretend they're elevated while slobbering all over each other, so entirely your speed."
At that, Robby lost his war with self-control and did flip her off.
Ellis actually laughed. "The vision," she said again, dark eyes dancing. "findr," she said again, like he might have forgotten. "Go fuck away the raincloud, Robby. For everybody's sake, but mostly mine," she drawled as she sauntered away.

Summary
“Sir, calm down,” the cop outside the hospital instructs, more firmly this time. “We haven’t identified them yet. When we do, we’ll notify their family. You can’t do anything for them now.”
He hadn’t even thought he’d be seen as a doctor trying to help. All he feels like is a desperate, hollow thing that needs to know— needs to know— whether the dead, horrible thing that lays so close to him— and yet so far from him— is— was— Robby—
—Mike—
“No,” he shoves out of his mouth, shaking his head, forcibly rejecting this with every cell in his body. “N— No. No, nope, no, not him. It’s not— It’s not—”
or: someone takes their own life jumping off the hospital roof. jack and robby each have their own misunderstandings.

Summary
Jack Abbot stops breathing at exactly 8:52pm.
“Oh my God,” he hears someone exclaim, but he couldn’t tell you who.
As he takes in the figure on the gurney being wheeled into the ER, the IV in his arm, the blood in his hair, and the air being forced into his lungs every three seconds, Jack’s whole chest seizes up.
“It’s Doctor Robby,” One of the paramedics exclaims, like Jack can’t recognise him. Like they hadn’t kissed each other goodbye on the roof less than two hours ago.

"Why did I just get a call from the site admin notifying me of an elevator entrapment involving two of my doctors?" Gloria asked. "Who else is in there with you?" | It's 7:01PM the first Monday after PittFest, and everything is going great—at least for Jack. Until it isn't.

"Is it possible Robby thinks you and I had a torrid affair?" Walsh asked later, leaning against the counter next to him.
"Torrid?" he echoed, in disbelief.
"Any affair with me would be torrid, obviously."
Jack made a face at that horrific thought. "I have never implied to Robby that we had an affair, torrid or otherwise, because I don't hate myself."

Summary
Dana was already explaining: "Mohan was asking if this guy's single," she said, hooking a thumb Jack's way.
Robby lit up like he'd just gotten a gift, turning bemused eyes his way. "Oh, was she," he drawled, enjoying this.
Dana made an indulgent noise. "Apparently she's very taken with our dear Dr. Abbot and wondered if the feeling is mutual." They both looked to Jack then, Dana long-suffering, Robby delighted.
Fuck Jack's life, honestly.

Summary
“You were having sex once or twice a month, new person every time,” Robby says, “and you’re telling me none of them made you come?”
“I didn’t say that—”
“Obviously none of them were good enough to go back for a second time,” Robby says. “Were they just using you to dump a load?” His voice is hard.
Jack opens and closes his mouth. “If we got that far. Some of them backpedaled once they saw what I was working with. It’s not in my bio, you know. Wasn’t.”
Robby growls and goes back in. "Fucking assholes,” he says. “I’m going to spend every day from now on showing you what you should’ve been getting. What you deserved all that time."
aka, trans jack gets good sex for the first time in his life

“Where’s your boyfriend?” Charlotte asked, her voice casual but carrying that teasing lilt she knew would get under his skin.
Jack didn’t look up right away. “What boyfriend?” he said, closing the beer tap with a quick twist.
“The guy who tips you ten bucks for a single glass of wine,” she said. “And, weirdly, only shows up when you’re working.”

So you're scared and you're thinking

Robby shifts his head on Jack's shoulder, snuggling closer. He lets his hand rest over the dog tags, on Jack's chest, over Jack's heart.
(If Robby had asked him to stay, Jack would have stayed. Even with the financial struggles. Even if he couldn't afford med school without the army paying for it. He would have said okay, kissed Robby, and figured out something else.
But Robby didn't ask.)

Summary
That girl he tried to save — Leah, his brain supplied quietly, Jake's girlfriend — the one he spent four bags of blood and countless minutes trying to resuscitate, that could have been Robby. Their Robby. His Robby.
And who knew how many bags of blood Jack would have used on him then. Four, eight, he would have opened a direct line from his vein to Robby’s right then and there if it meant bringing him back. He would have crawled into Robby’s chest and forced his heart to start with pure desperation.

Summary
An unexpected break-up means Robby ends up going to Pittfest with Jake after all. He asks Abbot to cover half his shift, and Abbot is happy to agree—surely half a day shift can't be nearly as chaotic as the usual night shift. Everything that happens later changes his perspective on plenty of things, from just how crazy the day shift can get, to where exactly he wants to stand with Robby.

Summary
“So,” Robby says, dropping his work bag onto the bar chair, his long hands gripping the back of it as he looks at Jack.
The elation is still there, but dulled at the reality seeping in between them.
“So,” he says, putting his bag down as well.
“How does this work?” Robby asks and Jack can’t help but twist his lips a little in amusement.
“I don’t know. How do you want this to work?”
Or: how two people finally find their way to one another after so long, only to work through the growing pains of meshing their lives together

Summary
But now, with work officially handed off, Jack grabs him by the collar and leans up on his toes —the sheer fact that he has to do that when he never has before with anyone else is dizzying all by itself—and plants one on him.
Jack knows the kids are staring, probably cashing in on a fucking betting pool started by Dana or Ellis or Walsh—and he doesn’t care.
