Summary
“No,” he snaps. He’s so tired and in so much pain but he will not let this go. “Say what you must, Jayce. Spit it out.”
They’re both immovable objects against each other’s force of will, but Viktor has had anger in his blood for days without an outlet and he wants a fight he can win. He’ll take Jayce head on, and do it gladly. Jayce, meanwhile, has always bowed to Viktor when it mattered and almost nothing could matter more than this.
----
or: Viktor's condition is worsening and he must go to Zaun for surgery.

Summary
“Don’t let me go.” In his head it sounds like a plea, but he thinks it comes out as something more frantic, and therefore with more of a bite than he’d want; a stray dog refusing to give up a bone with a scrap of meat still left on it.
“Easy, easy,” Jayce soothes, then quickly- “I won’t. Don’t worry. Just breathe.”

Summary
Over Tommy’s shoulder: that’s how he first really laid eyes on Eddie Munson. The other boy was on the floor, propped up on one elbow. He was decked out in a pair of dark jeans that seemed to be more holes than denim and a faded black t-shirt, and he had a hand up over his nose. There was blood on the lower half of his face and a few tendrils of long curly hair were stuck to where there was blood already on his lips. It was October of ‘83, coincidentally around the time when he realised Nancy Wheeler had her eyes on him as much as he had his eyes on her. But Munson's eyes were wide and dark as pitch and Steve had a half moment of /Wow/ - like the same /wow/ as when he saw Nancy cheering for him at last week’s basketball game, a breathless feeling that caught in his chest - before the moment passed.

“Stevie,” Eddie says softly. “You’re sick.”
“No m’not.”
“You have a fever, I’m pretty sure.”
“Fevers make you warm. I feel like I’ve stepped into Scoop’s walk-in.”---

Summary
“We can help each other,” Silco reasoned. He took an inhale from the stolen cigarette, and Viktor looked longingly towards it. Silco moved forward, infinitesimal, smoke held in his lungs.
“If I say yes?” Viktor asked, voice low, pulled closer to Silco by the sheer magnetism of him.
Their lips were close, but not close enough to touch. Just enough to… Viktor parted his lips.
Silco breathed out steadily as Viktor inhaled, the smoke going from Silco to Viktor. Viktor’s eyelids closed, his eyes rolling back as the tingle of the tobacco raged through his veins.
“Then we will be partners,” Silco’s voice was smoke-rough.
or, from the prompt: “Silco and his controversial younger boyfriend, Viktor.”

Summary
After Abbot and Robby discover that Dennis hasn't been laid since undergrad, they approach him with a proposal.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
“God, man. His fucking pupils,” Jack said. He leaned in closer to get a better view of his pupils swallowing up the irises of his eyes.“I know. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think he was on something.” Robby grabbed Dennis’ jaw with one hand and slipped the other back down his underwear. “But he’s just being a really good boy, isn’t he?” He used the hand on his jaw to make Dennis nod his head.

Summary
Dennis Whitaker has a hard time breaking his "I don't need food habit because I'm broke as dirt" and now people think he has a possible eating disorder. He's fine of course, if only the hitting the floor and having a seizure hadn't happened in front of everyone in the Pitt.

Summary
“For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live” (Romans 8:13).
Dennis wears the coverings of his youth: traditional black undershirt that covers him from neck to wrists and gloves that he only takes off in the safety of his own home. He wants to be touched. Doesn't know how to ask.
Robby has long-since given up on finding his soulmate - if he even has one. At fifty-two, he's tired of waiting. Tired of wanting. Tired of hoping.
Then: the shift from hell (and that's saying something after Pittfest), a hole in a glove, and a record-breaking number of scrubs changes.
