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.

I'm On Fire - Jack Abbot x Fem OC
Jo's fresh start in Pittsburgh puts her next door to Jack Abbot, and quiet proximity soon becomes something neither of them can ignore.
Blaze In The Dark ~ Dr. Jack Abbott
Andy couldn't stay in DC anymore, not when everywhere she looked she saw him. Neither could she stay in that ER, not when all of her colleagues had seen her have a mental break down. So now she was in Pittsburgh, beginning her life again. Andy had a plan to build a better, more stable and healthy life, only that plan was very quickly hijacked by a closed off veteran with a dry sense of humour and an obsession for his work.
Holding Pressure |J. Abbot|
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.Complete
I've Been Thinking Lately, Everybody's Crazy
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.

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.

Feel free to suggest any routes you'd like the characters to take and i will see what i can do!Complete

Crossing The Line - Jack Abbot || The Pitt
The Place Where People Break The emergency department had its own heartbeat. It wasn't the sound of the monitors. It wasn't the alarms. It wasn't the endless footsteps rushing across the polished floors. It was something else. Something only the people who worked there understood. The knowledge that at any moment, the doors could open and someone's entire life could change. For some people, the emergency department was terrifying. For others, it became home. Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center was both. A place where people arrived broken. And where everyone inside learned how to carry pieces of them back together. Dr. Jack Abbot had spent years learning one important lesson: You couldn't save everyone. No matter how hard you worked. No matter how many hours you stayed. No matter how much you cared. Someone would always remember the patients you lost more than the ones you saved. So Jack did what he was good at. He focused. He worked. He kept everyone at a distance. Because distance made things easier. At least, that was what he told himself. Until Elia Carter walked into The Pitt. Twenty-five years old. New nurse. Too compassionate. Too stubborn. Too willing to challenge him. She didn't know the rules yet. She didn't know that people like Jack weren't easy to understand. And Jack didn't know that the person who would challenge him the most wouldn't be another doctor. It would be a nurse who refused to look away. In a place where every second mattered... Sometimes the hardest thing to save was yourself.Complete
Two Peas in a Pod: Jack Abbot and Penelope Henry
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.Complete
