Imelda George has spent years holding The Pitt together. As the emergency department's night shift charge nurse, she thrives on chaos, runs on caffeine and bad decisions, and has built a reputation that ranges from respected to outright terrifying depending on who you ask. Patients trust her. Nurses follow her. Residents fear her. The rumours about her are legendary, and she's never felt the need to correct them. Life is simple. Work hard. Drink hard. Mind her own business. And avoid Jack Abbott at all costs. Trauma attending. Emergency medicine golden boy. Professional pain in her ass. For years they've circled each other across crowded trauma bays and overflowing hallways, arguing over bed assignments, hospital policy and just about everything else. Jack thinks Imelda hates him for no reason. Imelda thinks Jack is everything wrong with modern emergency medicine wrapped up in a charming smile and a hero complex. As impossible cases, impossible hours, wild nights and the brutal realities of emergency medicine force them together, old assumptions begin to crack. Beneath the arguments and mutual irritation lies something far more dangerous: respect. And respect has a way of becoming something else. Set against the relentless chaos of The Pitt, this is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story featuring adult themes, workplace romance, found family, medical drama, humour, heartbreak, complicated friendships, questionable life choices and two stubborn people discovering that the person they least want in their corner might be the one they need most.

Dr. Penelope Henry wasn't new to the PTMC, but this "situationship" as Princess called it, was new. Dr. Jack Abbot, the older, brooding, night shift attending had taken a liking to Penelope immediately, though opposite shifts kept them at a safe distance. That is until she switches to night shift for her last year as a resident. The two "Dark Clouds" of the PTMC were nearly the exact same person. Having both served, with the baggage and scars to prove it, there was an immediate attraction. Meeting someone so alike, who could understand everything no one else could, resulted in both butting heads and crossing professional boundaries. As the two navigate their complicated and frustrating feelings, they're forced to acknowledge parts of themselves they never wanted to. Hiii this is my first time writing a fic so please be nice but feel free to leave suggestions! Also, please don't expect medical accuracy in this story. My only medical background is an intense search history.

Nearly a year ago, Emma had stepped into Mystic Falls for the first time in her life, never expecting that a small town in Virginia would have the power to change the course of everything. But it did. And then it all fell apart. Four months later, she's done with hiding. She's done running and living in fear. Emma's settled; in the one place that came closest to being home. The French Quarter came with its own dangers, but with right friends and the right allies by her side, Emma has nothing to fear. At least until familiar faces start showing up in the streets of New Orleans, bringing with them not only a shift in power, but memories Emma had been working hard to move on from. To forget. And just as the last time, her life will change in so many ways that Emma isn't sure if she's truly ready for it. ----- [Kol Mikaelson / OC] [Book II in The Life Trilogy] [The Originals: Season 1 - ?]

Haunted by visions and hunted by a rising evil, she becomes their unlikely ally... and Klaus's unexpected weakness. Bound to an ancient power she doesn't understand-with war brewing and past sins returning with vengeance, Mercy must choose between survival and sacrifice.

A story of found family, dark magic, fated mates, impossible choices, and the girl who became the heart of the Originals. *Available on a03!*

It wasn't a soulmate bond. It was deeper - more rooted. This man was branded into my soul, etched into my spirit so fiercely I'm still not sure how I didn't notice it sooner. He would tear the world apart for me. And when it came to his safety, my morals never stood a chance. 🩸 Updates every Tuesday This is not a cute story of love and fantasy. This is not a relationship to idolize. This is not a story for the faint of heart. Niklaus Mikaelson had wrecked me in the best of ways. 📍Start: April 22nd, 2025
