Summary
Megan turns on her heels to stand in front of Jake, blocking his way. "Ever since you've started being pissed at your sort-of-not-really-stepdad, your sort-of-not-really-stepdad has been really pouty, and when your sort-of-not-really-stepdad gets all pouty, my actual-real-dad gets upset too, and when my actual-real-dad gets upset, he's not likely to let me go to the lake house. So I need you to fix your sort-of-not-really-stepdad."
What the fuck.
"What the fuck, Meg."
"Look, I don't like this any more than you do. You think I want to spend my time worrying about some loser's relationship with his whatever Robby is to you?"
"Thanks, Meg."
***
Robby's kind-of stepson and Jack's daughter decide it's time to set them up.Series

Summary
“I distinctly recall extending an invite that you turned down.”
“I’m your attending.” Robby says in lieu of anything else.
The invite for drinks was for more than just drinks, then. Robby had suspected that, but he didn’t have any evidence to confirm it. Abbot looks about as straight as they come, military background and all, gruff and corn-fed. His lingering eyes defied that in ways Robby could never put a finger on, in ways he wouldn’t let himself.
Abbot shrugs, watching Robby closely, “I’m a consenting adult.”
Robby pulls in a deep breath, reading between the lines of those words isn’t hard, “I don’t have drinks with my residents.”

Summary
A juvenile presents to the Pitt with an infected laceration. When Robby goes to examine, he finds that it's not only infected, the leg is dead from the knee-down. He breaks the news to his religious mother, who takes out a gun and gives Dr. Robinavitch an ultimatum: either he fixes the leg without amputation, or he dies.
At home, Jack struggles with guilt after an argument with Robby the prior night. He doesn't have time to make a proper apology with their shifts, but at the very least, he can bring Robby lunch as a peace offering.

Summary
"Thirty-eight-year-old male, high-speed MVC,” Jenn, one of their new residents, began to recite, like they didn’t know who this was. Like this wasn’t their Robby.
Jack felt sick.

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
"Another half hour after that, Robby and Abbot arrived, both dressed appallingly heterosexually. Trinity wasn’t entirely sure they’d grasped the concept of a pride party. Still, Abbot came bearing more ice and Robby seemed to be shrinking in on himself in an effort to not look like her boss, so Trinity just rolled her eyes and gestured them inside."
...
Abbot and Robby are now in an established relationship...but what kind? As they take the next steps as a couple (braving the terrifying worlds of HR paperwork and pride festivities, among other things) Robby and Abbot are forced to grapple with what their evolving relationship means to them and their identities.
Same fic, new summary.

Summary
Jack watched two dogs across the street sniff each other warily while their owners struck up a friendly chat. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Jake watching him.
“And the therapy helps?” Jake asked, quietly.
Jack nodded, softly. It felt like a lie. Nothing could help, not really. It didn’t bring Elise back. It didn’t fix his leg. The therapy just kept Jack alive long enough to find something else worth living for. Short of ridding the world of violence, therapy was the best thing he could recommend to this kid.
-----
Jake had been ghosting Robby since the night of Pittfest, which was for the two of them to sort out. It was none of Jack's business. At least, it was none of his business until he ran into Jake outside his therapist's office and accidentally started mentoring the kid.

Summary
They aren’t his family, not in the traditional sense. But the idea that they might be, that they could be, unsettles him more than he wants to admit. It’s the same quiet dread that hit him when Collins said he had helped raise Amy. He doesn’t know why exactly. Maybe because imagining them as a family implies imagining him and Jack as something. And that’s just absurd, right?
Or: Robby has been a quiet constant in the lives of Abbot and his daughter, filling a space that was never clearly named. As they drift into their fifties, he begins to recognize that his feelings for Jack may have deepened into something real and perhaps impossible. Now he’s left wondering if this almost-family could ever truly be his.

Summary
It’s the spring of ‘97 when Michael Robinavitch is dragged into a gay bar for the very first time.
When he meets Jack Abbot there, the two of them are on the cusp of radically different futures: Robby is about to begin his residency, and Jack is leaving for the army. They know better than to get attached - know the timing is wrong, the goodbye inevitable - but something tender takes root anyway. Through every deployment, Jack thinks of Robby more than he ought to; through every failed relationship, Robby wonders about what might've been.
Years later, when their paths cross again at PTMC, the past resurfaces — and though they’re older, more jaded, and scarred in different ways, they find themselves pulled towards everything they left unfinished.

Michael Robinavitch hasn't thought of soulmates or the associated geese in years. It was one of those things that either happened or didn't. That said Robby wanted one.

Summary
Ninth Circle Ink was hardly more than a stone’s throw from the flower shop; Aziraphale knew from past experience that it took less than thirty seconds to go from door to door (forty-five if you had to wait for a car to pass). It had been a perfect arrangement in the beginning, when they were just starting out.
Owning a flower shop across the street from your boyfriend's tattoo parlor is fun and adorable. Owning a flower shop across the street from your ex-boyfriend's tattoo parlor? Not so much.
Now available as a (stunning!) podfic by Literarion!

Summary
It starts like this. Clark Kent has a hopeless crush on a woman who's out of his league. Bruce Wayne has a newly-acquired kid he feels ill-equipped to raise. Superman is still finding his feet. And Batman has an unshakeable suspicion that Superman surely can't be all that he seems.
Things can only get more complicated from there.

Summary
The peace in Mos Pelgo had stayed relatively intact, though Cobb’s dealings with the Tuskens were rocky at first, without his Mandalorian intermediary.
His Mandalorian.
Force, he had to stop thinking things like that. Cobb wiped the back of his hand across his brow, taking the sweat accumulated there with it. He’d only known the man for a few days, and yet somehow, months later, here he was, still pining for things he couldn’t have.
Or, Five (and a half) times someone assumed Cobb and the Mandalorian didn't know each other, and one time everyone definitely knew they did.

Summary
In candlelight, his chest didn’t look half so wretched. He could imagine that the newly slender outline of his waist was attractive, not emaciated. Without thinking, he pulled the counterpane off his bed and wrapped it around himself. If he cinched the fabric tight around his waist and let it fall loosely over his hips and legs, it almost looked as though he had a lady’s silhouette.
Back in England, James’s body resists recovery and his distinctly unbrotherly affection for Francis goes unreciprocated. He distracts himself with a new wardrobe and dreams of reinventing himself again.
