Summary
go home, loser.
She doesn’t feel like giving him a hard time right now, truly, but she’s hoping if she’s casual, maybe he’ll magically think everything is okay and actually go the fuck home.
A ding.
u send her out to me and i’ll put in my fucking two weeks notice.
She stares at her phone helplessly, then looks back to Robby.
“Fuck,” he barks out. “Fuck. Fine, I’ll…I’ll go figure something out.”
He turns on his heel and starts walking towards the cops.
Her phone dings one more time.

Summary
Nick Wilde moves in with Judy Hopps and immediately discovers a problem: they are doing everything married couples do, except for the part where they’ve never been on a date.
Somewhere between shared evenings on the couch, accidental “I love yous,” and learning how to ask for what they need without falling apart, Nick starts testing how much happiness he’s allowed to want—and how much steadiness Judy is already offering him without realizing it.
Everyone else already knows what this is. Nick is just trying to survive it.
A story about domestic intimacy, boundary negotiations, paralyzing anxiety, and two idiots who haven’t noticed they’re already home.

Summary
“It would have to be a secret.” He says, doing his best to keep his face neutral.
“I’m good at keeping secrets.”
Langdon closes his eyes, a pained expression on his face, “Mel.”
“What?”
“You can’t — you deserve better than this.”
“I want you,” she says again, imbuing each word with as much sincerity as she can so it gets through his thick skull. Actions speak louder than words, so she seals it with a soft kiss. His eyes are still closed, mouth parted when she pulls back, “I’ll take whatever you can give me. I mean it. I promise.”

“People don’t know yet.”
He turned towards her. “Don’t know what?”
“That we’re siblings.” She hesitated, like testing the air. “No one’s put it together.”

Summary
“Yes. I’m supposed to leave next week, and she set up a double date for her brother and I.” She looks at Frank, her forehead still wrinkled. Frank wants to smooth those lines away with his thumb. “It would be rude to cancel, wouldn’t it?”
“Yeah,” Frank confirms, and Mel’s shoulders drop. Frank feels the words rising up, and he knows he’s going to say them. Mel’s roommate wants to set her up. Mel needs a convenient excuse to get the roommate off her back. “I could go with you.”
“Oh,” Mel says, very quietly. She studies him from beneath her eyelashes, the frames of her glasses. “That’s very kind of you, Frank. I would be happy to have a friend there.”
“No, uh.” Frank stops, swallows thickly. “I could pretend to be your boyfriend. Get you out of those dates.”

Summary
"Well, what's your poison, then?" Frank asks, angling his head in her direction.
"What?" Mel asks, mouth dry. All she can focus on right now is the line of Frank's jaw and the tendon in his neck—
"Y'know…" Frank waves his hand around in the air uselessly, "a weird sex thing you're into."
Or, Mel and Frank tell each other what they like in bed, as friends do. Somehow they end up trying those things out on each other.

It started with a browser tab she forgot to close. And then a text that was maybe a little too personal. And then it went all downhill from there …
“Before we … back when we were just texting, I had this fantasy …”
“Don’t you dare stop talking.”

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.

Langdon looks aghast. “What do you mean you haven’t seen Lord of the Rings?”
“I mean, it’s not intentional,” says Mel. “I just never got around to it. Plus, it does look kind of goofy – isn’t the villain an evil spotlight?”
Garcia laughs, but Langdon looks like she just shot his mother right in front of him.Series

"If it ever happened," Frank murmured, so soft only she could hear, "you know l'd take care of you, right?"
Her breath hitched, her lips parting just slightly. "What would you do?"

"Mel?" Abby repeated him, "Why would she want to do that?"
Something in Frank bristled at that.
