Summary
“I always have a hard time imagining your face. Maybe if I can just see it in person, I can burn your features into my brain.” Skeppy whispers. There is a pause. Skeppy heard his heartbeat in his ears before Bad speaks again.
“Skeppy, I don’t want you to burn your brain. I want your brain unscorched!” Bad’s tone is light. It is a defection.
or,
How Bad and Skeppy finally communicate their way to meeting up.

Summary
One year after his return to the PTMC, if you asked Frank Langdon what his plans were going to be for a week in July, he probably would not have predicted he'd be spending it vacationing with his colleagues at a campground somewhere in the Poconos. But it's not just the weather that's heating up and making him sweat... his relationship with Mel King is on the verge of becoming something else entirely.

Summary
Frank Langdon had been sober for three hundred and sixty-three days, divorced for two hundred and twelve, and in love with Mel King for so long now that he couldn’t remember what his brain sounded like before her.
The sobriety milestones were easier to quantify.
Love, unfortunately, was less cooperative.

Summary
“Good, good. My ancestors would hate me for saying this, but when I was a whiskey drinker, I strongly preferred Tennessee whiskey. I like the sweet notes better.” He tells her.
“I never understood tasting notes in alcohol. If you like sweet drinks there are much better options than whiskey. I like a good Diet Coke or Dr Pepper on a night out.” That’s his girl, not only drug intolerant, but not much of a drinker either. Also not technically his girl, but let him have this.
Or: Mel calls Frank to pick her up after a night out and she loses her house keys, so he offers her his bed for the weekend.

Summary
For a moment that seemed to draw on for an hour, nobody said anything, the awkward shock of whatever the hell had just occurred settling between them all. Garcia turned toward Frank slowly.
“What the fuck is up with ER Barbie today?” she asked. “Did Poison Ivy over there key her car or something?”
Santos had to cover her mouth to stifle the laugh that burst out. She would think this was hilarious. He bit his tongue so he didn’t say anything he’d regret - they were just beginning to tolerate each other.
Frank stared out the closed doors. “I have no idea.”
or: the one where an overconfident intern openly flirts with Frank, and unleashes a side of Mel nobody has seen before.

Summary
Frank keeps doing this thing… the first time it’s such a shock Mel honestly doesn’t know what to do. And then it keeps happening. And Mel still doesn’t know what to do because Frank is… well he’s…
He’s scenting her.
Or:
5 times Frank scents Mel + 1 time she scents him.
