Summary
Emma Nolan is just trying to survive her new job in the Pitt.
After she was attacked on her first day, getting stronger seemed like a good idea.
Developing a gym crush on an arrogant, brutally honest ortho resident who won’t stop correcting her?
Less so.
Especially when he’s right about everything.
***
Brendon Park is just trying to finish his residency and leave Pittsburgh behind.
He has a fellowship in California, a plan, and no intention of getting attached to anything—or anyone—here.
Taking an interest in a nurse from the ED who always seems to be training next to him?
Ill-advised.
Especially when he can’t seem to stop spotting her.

Summary
Emma Nolan’s first mistake is assuming Dr Brendon Park is rude.
Her second is taking it personally.
What follows is a slow recalibration - of language, of expectations, of what care actually looks like when it isn’t softened for comfort. Park doesn’t do gentle. He does precise. And, increasingly, he does Emma.
Somewhere between “summary, not detail,” being chosen without explanation, and a question asked with complete clarity, Emma realises she isn’t learning how to work with Park.
She’s learning how to understand him.
And maybe - how to be understood back.

Summary
He’s a brutal, seasoned detective who guards his space fiercely. She’s the quiet rookie partner who keeps invading it.
Neither expected to be paired up, and neither expected to match each other's steps so perfectly. As they hunt down monsters and clash over boundaries, the tension between them builds into a chaotic mirror. They are exact opposites, yet they crash into one another heavily, over and over again.
But she’s hiding a secret that alters everything. And when the truth finally bleeds into the light, will it make them whole, or destroy them both? -

Summary
“I love used books,” she proffers, eager to be a normal person. “I love when books have a story.”
“Well, I’d say if a book doesn’t have a story, it’s a pretty sad excuse for a book.”
Mel can’t help herself—she snorts. “I didn’t realize you owned the shop,” Mel says quickly, embarrassed. “That must be nice—”
“Yeah, it is,” Frank answers distractedly. “I’m sorry, I’m pretty sure I just saw two time Emmy award winning actress Mel King snort at a joke I made.”
So he really did know her, then, wow.
“Well I’m not sure anyone will believe you,” she jokes lightly.
“Yeah,” Frank breathes, his eyes roving over her face in a stunned sort of awe. “I don’t think anyone will.”
Or, the Kingdon Notting Hill AU :)
