   Summary

   An emergency admission in a spate of terminally cold weather shouldn’t be unusual. And it isn’t — older, wiser, and meh-heh-haybe just a little more mellow, Doctor Cox has seen it all. He can handle medical situations in his sleep; it’s just the symptoms of humanity that keep him awake.

   When JD and Doctor Cox unexpectedly find themselves back in each others orbits, there are bound to be repercussions. Saving lives is complicated enough, without reopening the one relationship neither of them ever really finished.

   Dual-timeline, split-POV fic. Updates every Friday.
