Summary
Cate has been feeling off and very, very tired. Thankfully, she's friends with two very good doctors who will make sure she gets the care and rest she needs.
“Oh, Caitlyn, I’m so glad you’ve come to me with this.”
She looks up at Elias with watery, disbelieving eyes. “…Really?”
“Of course. It sounds as though you’re experiencing burnout.”
“You think so? I’m not just, I dunno, being a wimp?”- Language:

Summary
Elias lays a hand on Cate's shoulder, rubbing circles with his thumb. “You’re not alone anymore, alright? You’ve got me, and Julian, and we’re here to help. Whatever you need.”
“I know. I know, it’s just… my anxiety is screaming at me that you’ll both be angry with me for keeping this from you. That’s why I wanted to talk to you – I can’t even imagine you angry.”Cate has a chronic medical problem she's been trying not to talk about for a long time. When she finally gets desperate enough to ask for help, she needs Dr. Martins' particularly gentle bedside manner.

Summary
Two years ago, my grandfather died of lung cancer. This is the vent fic I wrote during and after that, giving my trauma to fictional people for processing reasons.
Liz doesn’t even realize she’s frozen in the hallway until Dick comes up to her and asks if she wants a hug. She nods, tears prickling at the edges of her vision, and Dick obliges. He gives the best hugs, warm and solid and soft. She intends to let go whenever he does, to make this last as long as possible. But Dick doesn’t let go. She starts to feel a bit awkward but the comfort still outweighs that for a while longer. When she finally pulls away, she’s expecting the dreaded question: are you okay?
But Dick doesn’t ask it. All he says is, “Alfred says dinner will be ready in half an hour."

Summary
Owen and Cate have a system. It’s weird and intimate and vulnerable and absolutely not anything they’d ever admit to doing. Owen likes taking care of people. Being useful, being needed. Cate likes being taken care of. They both suck at admitting it.
They have, ridiculous as it sounds, something of a secret code.

Summary
Kammy, a specialist in the proper care of intersex Koopas, is cryptically called to Koopa Castle to be assigned to King Bowser as his personal doctor. Being used to working with unusual anatomy leaves King Bowser a seemingly easy case, only– he's easy in the opposite direction, and Kammy's biggest challenge is in how well she can keep the King's most potent secret.

Summary
You could shake him off. You could tell him very firmly to stop touching you and he would, at once, you’re sure of it. But this feels like a little game that he’s playing, that he’s been playing alone up until now. The question is whether you want to be an unwitting piece in the game or whether you want to play. Your answer changes in an instant, the flick of a switch.
You don't need help. You've built an entire life, an entire career, off that one golden rule. And you have the competence, the skills, to pull it off, to make it abundantly clear to everyone around you to leave you to your own devices.
Apparently, Dr Jack Abbot did not get the memo.

Summary
His hands were starting to tremble.
He didn’t have time for that.
A noise made him lunge for the nearest weapon-like item – the IV pole – before he looked for the source.
Nightwing was standing in the hall, staring at him.
Jason swore under his breath.—
