Summary
It’s an awful day.
Mel doesn’t know exactly why she gets like this, but sometimes her senses are just dialed up to a thousand, and the fluorescent lights and frantic sounds of the E.D. make her want to vomit. (Well, they always a little bit make her want to vomit, but sometimes they make her actually pretty sure she’s going to have to run to the bathroom and vomit).
That’s bad enough, but then sometimes, she gets a patient who notices she’s a little off and wants to personally inform her of their feelings about it.
~~~
A patient takes issue with Mel. Langdon is there.

Summary
“Robby,” Frank says, voice thick with anger.
He can see Robby sigh, watches as his head drops and his shoulders sag. Robby turns slowly, hands in his pockets, a “kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar” look on his face. Good, Frank thinks. He should feel guilty.
“What do you want?” Robby asks.
“I’m gonna talk and you’re going to fucking listen.”
Or, Frank Langdon absolutely crashing out on Robby in the name of Mel King.

Summary
“Doctor Langdon, I don't think I have feet.”
A shocked laugh escapes his lips and he reaches for her hands, still tangled in her hair. Her braid must be destroyed. “No feet? Well, I think I’m looking at ‘em.”
“And, uh… My hands. Don’t think I have hands anymore. Or a brain. I think I’m a—a jellyfish with a nerve net instead of a brain.”
He holds onto her hands. Instead of going to the chairs beside them, he leads her over to the wall (flicking the lights to dim as he goes), and slowly guides her to sit. “Well, I’ll tell you one thing you’ve got,” he mutters to himself, “Tachycardia. Has anyone ever told you that’s bad for your health?”
If she were in a state to handle a joke she’d have replied, yeah, once or twice.
Frank never promised he'd be serious, even during a panic attack that would have sent Mel to the ER if she wasn't already here. Maybe that's a good thing.

Summary
You come home after a brutal day, worn thin and on the edge of unraveling. You don't have the strength to explain yourself, you barely have the strength to stand. But Astarion sees it. He sees you. And for once, there's no teasing in his voice, no smirk on his lips — just open arms, quiet care, and the steady promise that you don't have to carry everything alone.
