    Summary

    "Another half hour after that, Robby and Abbot arrived, both dressed appallingly heterosexually. Trinity wasn’t entirely sure they’d grasped the concept of a pride party. Still, Abbot came bearing more ice and Robby seemed to be shrinking in on himself in an effort to not look like her boss, so Trinity just rolled her eyes and gestured them inside."

    ...

    Abbot and Robby are now in an established relationship...but what kind? As they take the next steps as a couple (braving the terrifying worlds of HR paperwork and pride festivities, among other things) Robby and Abbot are forced to grapple with what their evolving relationship means to them and their identities.

    Same fic, new summary.

    Summary

    Jack watched two dogs across the street sniff each other warily while their owners struck up a friendly chat. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Jake watching him.

    “And the therapy helps?” Jake asked, quietly.

    Jack nodded, softly. It felt like a lie. Nothing could help, not really. It didn’t bring Elise back. It didn’t fix his leg. The therapy just kept Jack alive long enough to find something else worth living for. Short of ridding the world of violence, therapy was the best thing he could recommend to this kid.

    -----

    Jake had been ghosting Robby since the night of Pittfest, which was for the two of them to sort out. It was none of Jack's business. At least, it was none of his business until he ran into Jake outside his therapist's office and accidentally started mentoring the kid.

    “Straight men don’t do the shit we do, Robinavitch.”

    Summary

    "Did Michael Robinavitch just look at Jack’s mouth? Was he reading that right? No, that couldn’t be, because they had a very specific type of friendship. Sure, lines had gotten a bit blurred since they started sleeping in the same bed, but that was just practicality. They were good for each other. Kept each other from walking off the roof, that sort of thing. But they always slept with pajamas, or at the very least boxers and t-shirts when it was too hot, there was always a line that neither of them had ever intended to cross. But now…"

    ----

    Robby and Abbot have been in a queerplatonic relationship for some time now--not that either of them would describe it as such--when Robby gets in his head about it following a conversation with Dana. His subsequent turmoil comes at the worst possible time for Abbot.

    Title from 'Achilles Come Down' by Gang of Youths

    “Define ‘settling down’ for me.”

    Jack shrugged. “Finding a partner, falling in love, moving in together, etcetera.”

    “Right.” Derek was looking at him expectantly.

    Summary

    Denial. Robby could recite the stages of grief like a prayer. But this? No, it simply wasn’t true. He’d seen Jack, what, an hour and a half before 8:24? Jack, who’d joked about…something. What was it? Hawkeye, that was it. Jack had called Robby ‘Hawkeye.’ And then he’d left, saying he’d see him tonight. Jack had said specifically that, he’d said he’d see Robby tonight. That wasn’t…that just wouldn’t make sense.

    “No, he, uh…he’s back on duty in a couple hours, he’ll be coming in for his shift.”

    It was such an inane thing to say. Exactly the sort of thing he’d find heartrendingly innocent in the family of a patient, when delivering the bad news. Not rational. Not real. But this had to be real, Jack had to be coming in for his shift. Handover was in two hours.

    Officer Anders stepped in. “We’d like you to come down to the station with us to identify the body.”

    -----

    Robby finds out that he's Jack's emergency contact in the worst possible way: when he's called in to identify the body.

    Can be a sequel to 'Day or Night,' but also works as a standalone. Title from 'I Was an Island' by John-Allison Weiss.

    Jack’s face paled as the full implications of Robby’s words hit him. “Oh. Oh, fuck.”

    Summary

    'There was no formal arrangement, nothing that could easily be defined as any recognizable brand of relationship. But Jack learned in the army that sometimes you needed someone to hold. To remind you that you’re human. That there’s someone who cares. Not that either of them would say anything mushy like that. It was basically a business transaction. Sleep in each other’s beds a couple nights a week and in exchange make it to the following week without going off the deep end. Business.'

    ...

    Dr. Abbot starts the day on the edge of the roof, and ends it talking his friend off the same ledge. In the process, he reflects on their strange relationship.

    ...

    Written during season one, as a result some elements are canon divergent.
