    Summary

    “You’re fuckin’ thirty, you have just turned thirty, twelve hours ago,” he says incredulously. “You’ve still got your whole life ahead of you.”

    “But I haven’t done anything!” she exclaims dramatically, gesturing with her glass hard enough that water splashes onto the table.

    “You’re months away from finishing your residency,” Jack points out dryly as he reaches over to rescue the glass from her hand entirely. “And you had a paper published in The Lancet. I’d say those count as pretty significant achievements.”

    Samira rolls her eyes at him again, like he’s deliberately missing the point.

    “But I haven’t done anything else!”

    Or—Samira kicks off her thirtieth birthday party with an existential crisis.

    Summary

    Life has occasioned to kick Jack Abbot in the teeth more times than he can count. More times than he has fingers, more times than the five toes he lost or the five toes he still has. He keeps this in mind when Samira Mohan emails him asking permission to submit the article they co-authored two summers ago, Efficacy and Complications of Intracardiac Pigtail Catheterization in the Emergency Room Setting, to present at a conference in Philadelphia.

    He has not seen her for almost two years. It took six months for him to get her new phone number, and another six months after that to convince her that he really meant it when he said that he wanted to keep in touch.

    Summary

    Samira Mohan’s life is divided cleanly into two distinct halves: before PittFest and after it. She will never again be the person she was when she clocked in for that shift. She will never forget the give of her patient’s skull beneath an EZ-IO or the slip of the pigtail catheter between her fingers. Even months later, she’s still struggling to unpack all the ways that day changed her life.

    Perhaps the strangest residual effect is that Jack Abbot sort of, inexplicably, becomes her best friend.

    ---

    Or: Samira Mohan finds her way through residency and subsequently stumbles onto a whole lot more.

    Summary

    "You know what your problem is?" He steps closer, close enough that she has to tilt her head back to meet his eyes. "You're so afraid of feeling something that you'd rather feel nothing at all. You'd rather be miserable and 'serene' than happy and—"

    "Than what? What's the alternative? Let myself care about you and then watch it destroy everything I've built?"

    "Who says it has to destroy anything?"

    "History. Experience. Every Jedi who's ever fallen because they couldn't control their attachments."

    "Or maybe they fell because their Order made them so afraid of attachment that they never learned how to handle it. Maybe if someone had just let them feel—"

    Samira is a Jedi Knight who knows her Code by heart. Jack is the smuggler who makes her want to forget it entirely.

    Summary

    Samira was, in practice, the ED’s attack dog, and the attack dog of all the ED’s many and varied denizens. She was very good at her job, maybe because she looked so sweet and had such a reputation as a bleeding heart that no one expected her to be so fucking mean when the occasion called for it.

    She was also, in practice, right now, like, while they all watched in frozen horror for the first twenty seconds of it happening, enduring a rare statistically significant loss - patient vs physician. She was, in this moment, leaning against the hub and bleeding through the gauze Dana and Robby were pressing against three different penetrating stab wounds on her anterior abdomen while Robby bellowed for a gurney and Dana hollered for security.

    Summary

    Samira calls Jack on the nights she can’t sleep. He’s awake— he’s always awake. Answering on the second ring, "Hey there, Dr. Mohan," a rumble of gravel, so warm that she can feel his smile leaking through the phone.

    or, the one where Samira falls slowly.

    Summary

    Samira exhales through her nose. It might have been a laugh, but he doesn’t allow himself to hope. “Missed me that bad?”

    Despite himself, he laughs. It breaks through the lump in his throat, coming out gruff and shaking. “That bad,” he confirms, without a hint of embarrassment.

    God, he’s going to fall off this roof. And it wouldn’t even be on purpose.
    -
    Samira Mohan sells her soul to the army for medical school. Nobody understands that so intimately as Jack Abbot. Out in no man’s land, they manage to form something that neither can really understand.

    After three years, it only takes one mass casualty incident to pull them back together.

    Summary

    “Shane.” Ilya takes Shane’s head in his hands, squeezes his cheeks so that Shane looks puffy, absurd. Beloved. “I am saying that to me, even though you are retired, you will always be No. 1 hockey player. Fuck Wayne Gretzky.”

    That’s what does it, as Ilya knew it would. Shane rears back, spluttering, outraged, trying not to laugh.

    “Oh, I have committed blasphemy now. They will take back my citizenship, big crime, very sad.”

    Shane smoothes his hands along Ilya’s calves, rests his fingertips on Ilya’s ankles. “Fuck Wayne Gretzky,” he says. He looks like he can’t believe what he’s saying. Ilya wonders, distantly, if he can get it on tape to play back to himself when things feel particularly bleak. “We can live in exile together. I don’t care. You’re my, my best, my second best hockey player forever too.”

    --

    Shane decides he has to retire. Ilya, of course, will go with him.

    Summary

    “Robby force you to take a break?” he asks when she’s close enough to not have to yell.

    “Yeah.”

    “Me too,” he huffs. “Like he’s my superior or something. Asshole.”

    Samira laughs, bending down to put her coffee down, balancing her sandwich on the lid, and then leans her forearms on the railing, far enough away to still be able to look at the side of his face, but close enough that she feels a little more confident she’ll be able to do something if he… Well. “Should you be sitting over there?” she asks, staring at the slight slope of his nose, the shadow of his eyelashes across on the top of his freckled cheekbone.

    “Probably not,” he answers in a casual tone. “At least I’m sitting.”

    That doesn’t comfort her very much, but she figures there’s no point in fighting him on it, so she turns and sits down with her back against the warm metal, mirroring him. “You want half of my sandwich?” she offers, twisting her upper body to hold it out to him.

    Summary

    Bosco would like to make an amendment to the saying "never meet your heroes." He thinks, frankly, that the better version of it would be "meet your heroes, on occasion, so that you can relentlessly mock them when they turn out to be assholes."

    Bosco has the dubious pleasure of sitting in on a classic Horsemen argument over a silly prank that may or may not get Merritt tossed off a balcony. Jury’s still out.

    Summary

    They figure out that the hologram message is a deepfake in less than two days.

    ...

    The Horsemen realize that "Dylan's" message to them after the Abu Dhabi show was a fake and promptly set out to break the real Dylan Shrike out of prison. Dylan Shrike's first priority, meanwhile, remains the safety and well-being of his Horsemen. All eight of them.

    Summary

    Charlie's still getting used to the responsibility that comes with being a mastermind and a Horseman, even if he's got the planning part down. One legendary magician already died for him. He's not sure he'll be able to handle two.

    He's especially sure, though, that he won't be able to handle it if his plan gets J. Daniel Atlas killed.
    ...

    Daniel gets hurt when a plan goes wrong. Charlie, June, and Bosco don't handle it well.

    Samira,
    We are all so incredibly proud of you and cannot wait to hear all about the amazing work you do at UCLA. We can only hope that California doesn’t charm you too much – but no matter what, you’ll always have a family here in Pittsburgh. Hope you know how much you will be missed around here. Please stay in touch and send pictures of the beaches and burritos often.
    All the best wishes,
    Robby & the Pitt Crew

    “Also I’ve been flirting with you,” Dr. Abbot concludes, as the elevator finally arrives. The doors squeak slowly open with a tired ding! to reveal a puzzled OR nurse wheeling a guy in a gurney with his leg in a cast.

    Summary

    Despite all that he’s surprised sometimes, for just a moment, at how normal it all feels. How mundane—domestic, almost—it is to wake up next to Samira and open his eyes to her still form awake and already watching him, her deep brown eyes glowing almost red with the moonlight they reflect. It’s the same color as the light that spreads over the walls of her apartment when she opens her fridge, rows and rows of blood bags stacked neatly inside it that give it an eerie glow. It had almost made him laugh the first time he’d seen it because how was it that a vampire had a more orderly blood bag organization than every hospital Jack has ever seen from the inside?

    Summary

    Samira and Jack had sex at medical conference in New York almost four years ago. They did not exchange last names, or indeed any other pertinent biographical information.

    Dr Samira Mohan, intern, has a three year old daughter.

    Unsurprisingly, these two facts are connected.
