    Summary

    When he wakes from a good dream, it doesn’t feel like surfacing. It feels like drowning, like being pulled back under water after the smallest gasp of air and the barest glimpse of open sky. On those mornings, he does not get out of bed unless he has to. If he has his way, he will lie there for as long as his body will allow, staring at the peeling paint of the cell wall and trying to forget everything he’s lost.

    or;

    Eleven vignettes from six years at HMP Rightworth.

    Summary

    “Those the same hands we let you operate in the ER with, Whittaker?”

    Frank’s voice cuts through the din, not exactly booming but stern and authoritative. The group clams up as Frank deposits the two cocktails for Samira and Trinity on the table, out of the way of the beer spillage.

    “I asked you a question.”

    “I - uh - it was —“

    “You need to watch what you’re doing. Someone could have gotten seriously hurt.” His tone is dripping in hostility and poor Whittaker wilts under the scorn. Santos’ mouth twists unpleasantly and she takes a deep breath like she’s revving up to go toe to toe with Frank. “I mean, seriously, what were you thinking —“

    “Frank,” Mel interjects, if only to stop the shouting match that is about to erupt.

    Frank turns to her, the tension leaving his face all at once. He studies her in that clinical way of his, scanning her body from head to toe, making his own mental diagnosis of what’s wrong and how to fix it. “Let’s get you cleaned up, yeah?”

    Or, Frank is an asshole to everyone. Except when it comes to Mel. And Mel likes that.

    Summary

    “So listen,” Robby says, “I heard you’ve uh, well, that you’re living with Dr. King. Is there any truth to that statement?”

    Frank groans.

    “Yeah, yes, I’m living with her,” he says and Robby gets that crazy look in his eyes so Frank barrels on, “It’s not like that. Robby it’s not,” and Robby doesn’t look like he believes him one bit. “I’m living in her spare room and I pay her rent. We’re roommates. That’s not a crime.”

    or: frank gets out of rehab, gets divorced, and needs somewhere to live. enter mel.
