"She'll get a hold on you, believe it" "She's like no other" "Before you know it, you'll be on your knees" -- Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey Jack Abbot x OC "I wasn't flirting with her..." "The thought hadn't crossed my mind."

Two attendings. One night shift. A slow burn that neither of them saw coming, and both of them are going to resist for as long as humanly possible. Dr Lily Parnell is new to Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Centre. Dr Jack Abbott has been running the night shift for six years. They are co-attending. They are professionals. They are, by any reasonable measure, going to be absolutely fine. They are not going to be fine. It starts the way these things always do - small. A look held a beat too long. A conversation at the nurses' station at two in the morning that neither of them intended to have. The particular awareness of someone working besides you that has stopped being purely professional and hasn't yet become anything you're ready to name. Jack notices it first and says nothing, because Jack Abbott has spent years saying nothing about the things that matter most. Lily notices it second and deflects, because deflection is what she does when something gets close enough to be dangerous. They are exceptionally well matched in all the wrong ways. He is steady and guarded and carrying guilt about a grief he hasn't finished with. She is confident and capable and hiding something behind a composure so practised most people never think to look for the fault lines. Neither of them is looking for anything. Both of them are going to find it anyway, in the space between emergencies, in the quiet that the night shift occasionally produces, in the moments when the performance drops and the person underneath is just - there.

A collection of one shots centred around Dr Michael "Robby" Robinavitch - the moments between shifts, the quiet after the chaos, and the love he shows when it matters most. From late-night comfort to unexpected family, from soft domesticity to deep-cut angst, these stories explore the ways Robby loves - gently, fiercely, and always with his whole heart.

It's not my arms that will fail me But this world takes more strength than it gave me

Completing your residency at Chicago Northwestern Memorial, had always been your dream but after your brothers suicide, a transfer to Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Centre to complete your forth year of residency was your escape, a chance to feel safe again. You are tenacious, fast paced, efficient and unshakeable but you can only stop the cracks from showing for so long before something has to give. You keep your cards close to your chest but finding real friends and real support slowly gives you the space you need to allow yourself to feel human again. But Dr Jack Abbot complicates things, a man who has become an expert at hiding his own insecurities, but can see straight through yours. This will be a slow burn and long - i'm unsure about how many chapters as yet! Discussions of suicide, OCD, self harm, eating disorders and trauma/mental health. There will be sexual elements and in depth discussion of a power play relationship but i think i will avoid the super graphic sexual situations and only allude to them. I've never published anything I've written before so I hope you enjoy! I had already written a lot of this so parts will come up quickly as I edit and post here! Feel free to suggest any routes you'd like the characters to take and i will see what i can do!

Jo's fresh start in Pittsburgh puts her next door to Jack Abbot, and quiet proximity soon becomes something neither of them can ignore.

Jack Abbot is not an overly-neighborly person. He has secret nicknames in his head for most of the people on his floor and actively avoids any and all types of neighborhood politics. However, he can't deny his growing fondness for the single mom and toddler in apartment seventeen. (Nor his burning hatred for your baby daddy).

Elena Reyes is the kind of nurse who holds everything together-steady hands, sharp instincts, and a strength she doesn't always show. Dr. Jack Abbot is the one people rely on when things fall apart-calm under pressure, controlled, and used to keeping his distance. They were never supposed to be more than colleagues. But one night changes everything.

Elain Robinavitch-Abbot is the Princess in Pink. One of the best trauma nurses in the Pitt. Soft-spoken. Steady-handed. Loved by nearly everyone who matters. She is also married to Robby and Jack. Most of the ER already knows. Most of them also know better than to make it their business. After PittFest, peace became something everyone protected wherever they could find it. But when a nosy intern starts watching El too closely, asking too much, and turning care into suspicion, the calm the Pitt has been living in starts to crack. And Santos is about to learn that some things are private for a reason.
