    Summary

    'Unbeknownst to Robby, however, he would not be leaving, and it was entirely due to that conversation. Because of that conversation, he was going to lose one of his doctors today.

    He did not know this yet.

    Nobody knew this yet.

    They wouldn’t know until twenty minutes later, when Whitaker went to do that neuro check on the man in South 14.

    AKA: What if instead of Emma who gets assaulted in Episode 11, it’s Whitaker, and then things go from bad to fucking catastrophic very, very quickly, because turns out Whitaker’s a very, very good liar, with a very, very large and very, very dangerous secret?

    What if Robby’s guilt is strong enough to stop his doomed-ass sabbatical, due to the overwhelming responsibility he feels to 'atone for what he's done'?

    What if Whitaker has a chronic condition and some really shitty history he never discussed with anyone, and Robby can't stop being a doctor, no matter how much he keeps trying?

    Summary

    Dennis was halfway to the shelter, his heavy rucksack making his already atrocious posture even worse as his back protested continuing the journey, when a car pulled up at the curb beside him. The car was fancy but not so much so that he'd be able to name the make without looking at the logo on the hood.

    "Hey," A man called from inside the vehicle.

    "I'm not selling." Dennis murmured, shuffling faster down the street to try and lose the vehicle.

    "Whitaker," A second more familiar voice called from inside the vehicle, Dr. Robby he realized, and turned around to face the attending and his husband.

    Or

    Jack and Robby insist on driving Dennis home only to discover he's homeless. Naturally they take him home.

    Summary

    ”You know, there’s a rule about cowboys and their hats.”
    “Oh, so you’re a cowboy now are you?”
    “I grew up on a farm, we had cattle. Plus I have the hat.”
    “What do they say then?”
    “Wear the hat, ride the cowboy.”

    Dennis Whitaker moved in with Trinity Santos. After months of squatting in the hospital he finally had a roof over his head, and in honestly he felt guilty about it. That is until he sees an advert for a casual hours stable hand. Finally he can earn some money and repay Santos for her generosity.

    After Pittfest Robby got in contact with a therapist. He was surprised with how well it was going. He’d always been the type to express the need to talk about things to his patients, but he never took his own advice. Then after a conversation about his last vacation, his therapist suggests that equine therapy might be a good option for him. Little did he know he would meet his med student there, and strike up an unlikely bond.

    Or,

    Dennis and Robby meet at Dennis’ second job. Robby gets to see him in a different light, and against what they both know they begin to build a bond. One they’re determined to keep away from the prying eyes of the hospital.

    Summary

    The last time Dennis had a conversation with Robby before the day they tumbled down a bridge together was a little over a year ago. It was minutes before dawn. The hallway light was just bright enough to illuminate the horror in the older man’s eyes.

    “I’m sorry,” he said to Dennis, choking on the words and rubbing a palm over his eyes. His chest was heaving with breaths as if he'd just witnessed the end of the world instead of holding Dennis naked in his arms.

    Or;

    A year after a drunk hook-up with his attending at the end of his rotation, Dennis is back to the Pitt as a resident.
