Summary
Last week Frank offered to help Mel pick up a table she'd found on Facebook marketplace but couldn't lift by herself, which was fine and reasonable, only when he picked her up she was wearing a tank top that showed her collarbones, and Frank's reaction to the sight of it was not even the slightest bit reasonable or fine. Worse, he's been catching himself thinking about it on and off ever since — the delicate line of bone, the pink flush that crawled down her chest. The way she'd said his name when she caught him staring, completely oblivious to what had him so distracted, both hugely frustrating and a huge relief.
"I don't wanna kill the vibe," Frank says, which is definitely not the same thing as no. It is, in fact, conspicuously close to a yes. "I know how important it is for you, getting time with your sister."

Summary
To finally get to the point: while there hadn’t been a bet on them procreating (yet), there is the matter of the absolutely massive jackpot regarding them getting engaged, and in light of Trinity’s discovery during the shift that will forevermore be known within the Pitt community as “the Full Moon Friday Retrogeddon,” Trinity is like 96% sure Yolanda has won. Because Yolanda had put her money on “shotgun.”
The story of the first two years of a relationship, told primarily through the bets their coworkers make.

Summary
"I think it’s not about other people’s trust in you. It’s more about if you trust yourself.”
Frank trusts himself with a lot of things—saving a patient’s life, taking care of his kids, calling someone when he’s craving benzos. But with Mel? She’s so rare, so precious. How could he ever trust himself with that?

“You’re annoyingly good at braids,” Mel says.
Frank nods, still focused. "Years of Barbie hair boot camp. You wouldn’t understand."

Summary
"Mel," Frank interrupts, his voice filled with disbelief and warmth, "you laminated our sex schedule."
Her mouth presses into a tight line. Her eyes flick away for just a moment. Like she’s pretending she didn’t hear him—before meeting his gaze again with complete composure.
“Lamination ensures durability,” she says, like this is a well-established fact of life. “And, uh... water resistance.”

Frank shrugs, unbothered. “What, a guy can’t fake a cold just to see his pretty wife at work? What happened to real romance?”
“It’s pathetic,” Cassie corrects. “And that’s coming from someone who once cried over a broken stapler.”

“You know, I might just take you up on that, Dr. King. No takesies-backsies, though."
That got a chuckle out of her. “Takesies-backsies?”
“Tanner’s newest thing,” he said. “That and pinky promises.” He held his up towards her. “I’ll have your back if you have mine?”
Mel squinted at the gesture, cracking a full smile. She wound her pinky around his and ignored the foreign zing that raced through her chest. “Sure.”

Summary
Her thoughts are as follows: If Subject A (Mel) shows signs of discomfort, Subject B (Frank) will try to help, and vice versa. Therefore, if A is in need of a replacement for an article of clothing, B will do his best to provide A with one.
It’s shaky logic, all things considered, but it’s enough.
All that’s left is for Mel to put her hypothesis to the test.
Or: Mel can’t stop stealing Frank’s clothes. It’s becoming quite the problem.

It’s petulant, the way she immediately feels the need to argue against his words, the feelings she’s fought so hard to keep bottled up threatening to explode within her. He’s married.
“Abby wouldn’t encourage it.”
“I don’t think Abby really gives a shit anymore, to be honest.”
Frank tries to hint that he's getting divorced. Mel doesn't quite get the memo.

-“Fuck me, his hands need a mature content warning.” The words took a moment to process. Mel frowned, the meaning taking a moment to fully register. She glanced around. Two medical students stood at the other side of the nurses station. Andrew and Rachel? Mel had been elbow deep in an impalement trauma when they had been introduced. Medical students for sure. As Frank would say they were neon green in their newness. Rachel fanned her face, head craned into one of the bays.-
Mel can't get Frank's hands out of her head. Things escalate.
Inspired by Tumblr's constant rating of Frank's hands as mature content.Bookmarked by ReaderByHeart

Frank Langdon has built his life on control.
Control in the Pitt. Control over his sobriety. Control over the fractures left behind by a marriage that didn’t survive him.
But control is a fragile thing.
When his past begins to unravel in ways he can’t contain, and the one person who makes the present bearable starts slipping through his fingers too, Langdon finds himself standing on ground that no longer feels steady.
He tells himself he can survive anything.
He’s not sure that’s still true.Series

Summary
Melissa King lives in the controlled chaos of the ER, where saving lives is easier than sitting with grief. Langdon has learned how to survive loss by keeping his head down and his heart guarded. When crisis pulls them into each other’s orbit — through long shifts, quiet hallways, and moments that refuse to stay professional — they form a connection neither of them is prepared for. As family, duty, and boundaries collide, Mel and Langdon must decide what it means to hold on when everything else is slipping away.
