Summary
Jack knows what it feels like when the world is ending.
The world has ended for Jack Abbot a dozen times over, and the sun still insisted on rising the next day, illuminating the city skyline, warming his tired face, and bringing in a new wave of patients.
That’s the only reason why, when he gets the phone call from Dana, he doesn’t immediately fall apart. He rolls out of bed, pulls on his leg, and returns to the emergency department that he left only four hours ago.
The first words out of Dana’s mouth are "She’s stable", god bless her.
“Where is she.”
“South twenty.”

Summary
“My dad died today.”
She can feel him pause, and start to nod before she finishes.
“Eighteen years ago. That’s a long time,” she breathes.
“...Not for some things,” he says hoarsely, carefully. “Not for that.”
Or: The snowed-in fic where Samira finally confronts her feelings- on many things.

Summary
“Will you teach me?” she asks, an unconscious echo of her first approach to him.
“That’s not what we’ve been doing, Samira?”
She finishes the rest of her beer and puts it back down on the table with a loud clunk. “Will you teach me to do a crike with my eyes closed?” She looks up at him. Her turn to counter, now, with a purposeful, “Jack?”
His jaw ticks. She smiles.
After Pittfest, Samira asks Dr. Abbot for a crash course in combat medicine. She gets more than she bargained for.

Summary
She’s known him for almost four years. But she wouldn’t call them friends. Acquaintances, maybe. Mentor and mentee, for sure. Not that she didn’t want to know him more, he’s just bad at opening up and she’s too pushy when she tries.

“Robby’s observing today,” Dennis replies, looking vaguely intimidated. “Final decisions on casting for the summer season.”
“Then who’s teaching class?” she asks the barre around her.
“Someone completely useless,” Emery says, rolling her eyes.
Mel leans closer. “Jack Abbot’s back from London. He’s choreographing a new ballet.”
Samira’s heart skips a beat.

Summary
“You okay?” Robby asked, concern lacing his voice, all of this attention now on Jack.
“Yeah, yeah. It’s—fuck this is dumb.” Jack mentally braced himself. “So you’re on Grindr, right?”
“...Yes,” Robby answered hesitantly, his brow furrowing in confusion. “And I know you know that, so…” He trailed off and raised his eyebrows, questioning.
Jack did some quick mental math on how to have this conversation without humiliating himself and came up empty, so he took the direct approach. “How would you advise an older bi guy who’s new to the whole ‘sex with men’ scene?”
Jack comes to Robby for help, but things don’t go as planned for either of them.

Summary
“You were testing us. Testing me.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Jack leans forward on the small table and Mohan leans back, but her mouth is quivering. “Did we pass your test, Doctor Mohan?”
The smirk breaks through, a dimple emerging on her cheek and - oh, that’s disorienting. Jack collects himself while she glances at her phone. “Under ten minutes. Not bad.”
“Usually my clients aren’t actively avoiding me, so you’ll have to forgive me the oversight this time.” He takes her soda and sips idly from the same straw.
Her lips grow into something wider, wilder. “Guess you’ll have to do better next time, Mr. Abbot.”

Summary
They fuck. He never lets her pay for takeout. They know each other’s locker codes. He knows her favorite candy bar. She knows he takes six sugars in his coffee, but would never admit it, even under the threat of torture. Someone would have to be torturing you, he quipped in reply. He drives her home at the end of doubles, sliding into bed next to her half the time. Sometimes they go to the movies. Sometimes she massages his leg when it’s sore to the point of muscle spasms. It’s been six months. They fuck, and they’re friendly, maybe even friends. But nothing more.
It is the most significant relationship of Samira Mohan’s adult life.

Summary
It's like a live demo of surface tension, a steady drip of water into a glass that's already too full. For a while, all is well, the convex meniscus holding in spite of each addition in volume. Eventually, though: a flood.
Samira is always watching him these days, so she sees the precise moment the flood comes for Jack.

Summary
After a series of failed dates set up by her mom, Samira finds herself at a bar for a one-girl pity party, which is quickly crashed by Jack Abbot. Somehow, she goes from running out the back door of a five-star Italian restaurant to eating pizza in a hole-in-the-wall with Jack, and Samira never expected all of those failed dates to lead to stumbling through her apartment door with Jack as the two of them finally give into the tension they had been struggling to push aside.

Summary
It’s not long before he finds the JA hidden near her wrist, tucked into a little swirl of vines. He presses his lips to it and stays there for a moment, breathing in her scent. He’s being very gentle, which would be touching if it didn’t make her want to grab him and pull him in by the collar.

Summary
"It's 11 p.m. What could you possibly need from me right now?" Jack replied. It was his night off but truthfully, he had just been sitting on his couch, annotating a case report.
"As a policy, I don't ask about whatever your relationship to Dr. Mohan–" Robby started.
"There's no relationship, man. We're friends. That's all," Jack cut Robby off, his attention redirecting sharply at the mention of her name. It was true enough for purposes of wherever this conversation was going.
"Be that as it may, she listens to you. And she sure as hell doesn't listen to me. A group of us are at Donegan's and no one is sober enough to drive but Samira–she's–well, I'm not her favorite person at the moment. Can you come get her and drive her home?"

"You want me to give you a blowjob?"
His face crinkled into a surprised smile. "What? Why?"
She gave him an equally scrunched up face of amused confusion, then she chuckled.
"Because I'm in the mood, and you like my mouth on you. And I can tell that you're starting to get a tension headache."
"And your prescription is head?"

"You should drink some water," she murmurs. Kind but firm. He remembers that. He remembers a lot, actually. He's got Samira Mohan in his bed, and it's not because anything remotely sexy happened.

"Great," she murmured.

Summary
During her first year as an attending, she and Robby fall into a habit of getting a drink after work every couple of weeks and discussing whatever case studies they've been reading, the more unhinged the better.
Basically: They co-write an article together. They deal with their interpersonal shit, which takes a fair amount of dealing. And then, new things are possible.
