Summary
“You were in an accident. Please, listen to me. Get back on the bed.”
Dennis stills at that, giving him that same, blank look from before. Robby wants to shut his eyes. He never wants to see it again.
He tilts his head. “Accident?”
“You were—” Robby says, and doesn’t miss the desperation in his own voice. “I just told you. You were in an accident. Don’t you remember?”After an argument about Robby’s resignation from the Pitt, Dennis gets into a car crash that makes him unable to retain short-term memories. Including the fight they just had, and Robby’s imminent departure. It’s up to Robby to nurse him back to health, and choose which truth to tell him.
Or, Dennis gets anterograde amnesia.

Summary
Dennis hasn’t spoken to his parents or brothers in years—not since they made it clear that being gay meant he wasn’t welcome in the family anymore. The only person who ever stayed was Grandma Whitaker.
When she calls and asks Dennis and his boyfriend of three years, Robby to come to Nebraska for her 80th birthday, Dennis can’t say no.
They go early, and two days of peace with Grandma turns into a storm when the rest of the family arrives for the party and finds Dennis already there, hand‑in‑hand with a man.
But Dennis isn’t the same scared kid they pushed out. And Robby? He’s not letting anyone hurt the man he loves.- Language:

Summary
The first thing Dennis hears every morning is the sound of the grease trap hissing in the shop below, then feels his four-year-old son wriggling deeper into his ribs, like he wants to crawl back into Dennis’ shriveled old sack of a uterus.
He’s not sure which one wakes him first.
(Or, Whitaker is a struggling single dad, an MS4 who is about to graduate and crushing on two old men).

Summary
Jack Abbot is beyond exhausted when he finds a med student crying in the hallway. So far past dealing with the crying that he tries to convince the med student to a marriage of convenience just to stop the tears. The longer he thinks on it though, the more he realizes that marrying the little mouse, Dennis Whitaker, might actually make sense.
Robby is convinced Jack is having a mid life crisis. Or a nervous breakdown. Or petty revenge for his disappointment in Robby sleeping with Collins. Regardless, he doesn’t know how to help the med student Jack is marrying.
Dennis can’t keep doing this. He’s homeless, broke, and about to have to drop out of med school when he’s so close to finishing. If an ER attending is going to offer a guest room to crash in and covering the expenses of med school, he might just go ahead and marry him. He can always figure things out later, right?

Summary
Kyrie eleison- "Lord, have mercy."
It took just a second, a moment, a blink of an eye, and—
"No one talks to my husband like that."
And Dennis's world fell apart.
(Or, pain.)
