    Summary

    Time wasn’t a luxury that Robby often afforded himself. The ED ran on seconds before minutes, people's lives saved or lost with the tick of a clock.

     

    The clock could go a little longer on this one. Robby wasn’t ready.

     


    Robby and Frank aren't talking after Frank gets back from rehab.

    Summary

    Be kind to yourself, Cassie says in his head, soft and gentle. But Frank can’t. There is no world in which he can be kind to a version of himself that hurts Robby, especially sober. He’s supposed to be better now; he’s spent ten months clawing his way back inch by inch to being a person instead of a loose collection of hurts and cravings and spikes that pierced anyone nearby. But it seems that the version of himself that can connect with Robby, see eye-to-eye with him, talk to him without feeling like a gut punch, died the day of Pittfest last year.

    --

    Three conversations between Langdon and Robby, after Langdon's return.

    Summary

    Abby's hands were worn. They pushed, and tore, and grasped at him in every way Frank longed for. They burned fingerprints into his skin, and branded him as hers. He had loved it, once, but as time went on, those hands got mean, and he didn't know what to do about it. Who would he even go to?

    Or; Obligatory abusive!Abby fic where we see it evolve over the years of their relationship. Heed tags, a little more explanation in notes. This does end well, though.
