''If life was a movie, then you're the best part'' ~~~ Dr. Lucille 'Luci' Toussaint doesn't exactly keep her 'side hustle' a secret. It just didn't really come up in the four years she worked there. Not until, a couple of months ago, the very proud, but nosy charge nurse, Dana Evans let's it slip why Luci can't stay late during a mass casualty event. Suddenly, it's the talk of the E.R.

𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐌 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 Jack Abbot x fem/oc HBO, The Pitt Beautiful cover made by @dancefevers started 28/02/2026

Dr. Emilia Reyes is the sweet one in Pediatric Emergency, the doctor who crouches to eye level, who hands out stickers after sutures, who lowers her voice when the monitors start screaming and the world feels too big for the child in the bed. People underestimate her because of that. They see kindness and mistake it for weakness. They see patience and assume she will yield. Dr. Jack Abbot doesn't. An Emergency Medicine attending known for brutal competence and razor-sharp restraint, Abbot thrives in chaos. He does not soften the truth. He does not dilute hard decisions. And he does not step back when the room gets loud. When disaster forces him into her department, their collision is not subtle. He questions her restraint. She questions his ruthlessness. He pushes. She pushes back harder. Because beneath the calm pediatrician is steel, controlled and deliberate and more than capable of meeting him blow for blow. Abbot is simply the first man reckless enough to test it. In a hospital where resources run thin and not every life makes it home, Emilia has mastered composure. She has learned how to carry grief quietly, how to hold steady when everything fractures. What she has never learned is how to stand unmoved when someone sees straight through her. In an Emergency Department built on control, the most dangerous thing is not chaos. It is the moment you stop pretending you are immune to it. And some fires do not ask permission before they burn.

The ED never sleeps, and neither do its doctors. Spencer Reeves is no stranger to late-night crises, but when Jack Abbot breezes into her life, her carefully structured world is thrown into chaos. Banter turns to tension, tension to unspoken attraction, and attraction becomes impossible to ignore. Through high-stakes trauma nights, awkward public encounters, and near-disasters, Spencer and Jack must navigate the fine line between saving lives and risking their hearts. **This is a slow burn/angsty romance. I'm going to try and kill all of us with their flirting and banter. I only own my storyline and characters, the rest belongs to HBO** Author note: I am currently a student so please be kind when it comes to updates!
