Summary
Carter follows behind him, feigning quiet composure, but doing a poor job at concealing the whirlwind of anxiety Peter knows is rippling just beneath the surface. Once again, he’s reminded of a much younger version of the man before him, one who bled the need for his mentor’s approval after each and every transgression, driven frantic by the need to make up, to convince Peter that he had a handle on things.
Peter hates to see a flicker of that returning now, under circumstances that pose no easy fix.

Summary
“Shift going okay?” Carter asks as he goes to open his locker.
“Yeah, been pretty quiet actually,” Anna leans against the locker wall, arms crossed, studying him; he does look tired, and his nose is a little red. “Feel okay?”
Carter sniffs and clears his throat. “Yeah, yeah. Just some upper respiratory thing, more annoying than anything.”
“Take anything for it?”
Carter scoffs a laugh, “I’m okay, Anna.”
Anna rolls her eyes. Classic man behavior, she thinks, refusing any and all supportive measures unless near death. He appears to be his usual self though, maybe a little grumpy, so she’s not worried and doesn’t push it.

Some months into dating Anna, Carter becomes miserably sick.

Summary
A particularly tragic case has left Robby low. Jack comes over to raise his spirits, and though Robby is one secretive son of a bitch when it comes to his own feelings, everything seems like it will be okay.
Later, the unthinkable happens. The attempt leaves Robby in the hospital and Jack scrambling to make sense of it all. He would've preferred Robby shoot him stone-cold dead.
As he starts the long road to recovery, Robby and Jack wrestle with the aftermath. Not only dealing with the devastation of his partner trying to take his own life, Jack struggles with his moral obligations as a doctor, a friend, and a partner. Robby wants to continue to be a pillar for his family to depend on, but has to come to terms with the fact that he cannot be an island forever.Bookmarked by Jambette
