Summary
Poor kid, he had time to think before his eyes traveled from the body covered by the heating blanket to the young man's face.
His heart dropped in his chest and his whole body turned cold with fear.
“Oh god…Whitaker?” he said as his eyes landed on the very familiar face.
The young man was deathly pale, skin waxy and lips blue, but there was no doubt in his mind that this was their former med student that he hadn't seen in months lying lifeless on the gurney, body covered in blankets, c-collar around his neck and breathing tube in his mouth and secured to his face.

Dennis doesn't get matched with PTMC or the emergency department. Almost a year later he is brought into the ER in critical condition. By then no one has heard from him in months.

Summary
Dennis blinks at him, fingers moving weakly.
“You're hurt,” Dennis says, voice shaky and every breath wheezy and painful.
“Just stay with me,” Robby grunts and moves his arm to Dennis' side in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
He ignores the pain, ripping through his own body. Ignores the anguished gurgle from Dennis lips.
‘‘Keep your eyes open. Stay awake for me!" He pleads.
It's starts as an ordinary shift but ends in absolute horror.Robby and Dennis are attacked and end up badly injured. Robby is more concerned about his intern than himself and everyone else are left picking up the pieces.

Summary
Signal after signal rings through and she's about to give up when he finally accepts the call.
There's a weird shuffling noise in her ear.
“Huckleberry, where the hell are you?” she says
For a few seconds there's only silence and her stomach twists unpleasantly. She presses her hand to her other ear to try to cancel out the noise around her.
“Trinity…I don't feel good…help…”
Her grip around the phone tightens and she looks at Dana and Robby and her heart picks up speed.
His voice is hoarse and weak and he seems out of it.
“Where are you? What's going on?” she asks.
“Really…tired…something's…wrong…”
He coughs into the phone for several long seconds.
“Trin’ty?...pl’se help…”
The words are slurry and he struggles to get the words out, his breaths rapid in her ear.
“Where are you? Talk to me! Huckleberry? Tell me where you are.” she says frantically.
There's nothing but silence in her ear.

Summary
The curtains open and suddenly Santos is standing there. Her eyes immediately land on his injured arm and she shakes her head.
“Not so bad my ass” as she says “This is not a “little” sprain, Huckleberry!”
“It's definitely not,” Robby agrees with a sigh. “We need to call ortho for this, not to mention sending you up for X-rays. It doesn't look good.”
Dennis falls and breaks his arm. He's reluctant to get help but he's going to get it anyway.

Summary
Dennis Whitaker has a secret. He is homeless and currently he’s living in a closed off section of the hospital and he’s absolutely terrified someone will find out.
He also has asthma which he hasn’t told anyone about either. So technically he has two secrets. Although his asthma isn't really a secret. He just hasn't had any issues in years so he hasn't found a reason to tell anyone about it. He also hasn’t found a reason to renew his prescription for his medicine because even if he needed it he wouldn’t really be able to afford it anyway.
Unfortunately having asthma and being homeless isn’t the greatest combination, especially not when you had flu season, brutal shifts in the ER and the merciless cold weather outside.
Or…
Dennis manages to keep his secret for exactly 6 weeks and 3 days but then everything starts to crumble and all his lies and secrets unravel, one by one.

Summary
Trinity Santos doesn’t panic. She’s trained herself out of it.
So when her roommate, Dr. Dennis Whitaker, calls out sick with what seems like a lingering flu, she sends a sarcastic text—drink fluids, skull emoji—and goes back to work. She doesn’t dwell on the fact that he never replies. She definitely doesn’t admit that it worries her.
But when Trinity comes home to a deep, wet cough she recognizes instantly, a fever that won’t break, and Dennis drifting in and out of memories of the Nebraska farm where he grew up, denial stops being an option. The night spirals into an emergency that pulls them into The Pitt’s trauma bay—and into full view of colleagues who have never seen Trinity unguarded.
As Dennis’s condition deteriorates toward intubation, Trinity’s armor finally cracks. In a moment of raw vulnerability, she reveals the trauma that shaped her and the truth of what Dennis has become to her: not just a roommate, not just a friend, but her only family and her only safe place.
A character-driven hurt/comfort fic about illness, trauma, found family, and the terrifying intimacy of caring for the one person you can’t afford to lose.Bookmarked by hannakin

Summary
Trinity edges closer to him, hand poised to find feverish heat radiating from him.
Yet when she touches his skin, he’s cold and clammy.
“Dennis?” She whispers, hand moving down to probe under his jaw. His pulse is racing, much more than it should be for sleeping.
Panic creeps in.

Summary
The last time Dennis had a conversation with Robby before the day they tumbled down a bridge together was a little over a year ago. It was minutes before dawn. The hallway light was just bright enough to illuminate the horror in the older man’s eyes.
“I’m sorry,” he said to Dennis, choking on the words and rubbing a palm over his eyes. His chest was heaving with breaths as if he'd just witnessed the end of the world instead of holding Dennis naked in his arms.

Or;
A year after a drunk hook-up with his attending at the end of his rotation, Dennis is back to the Pitt as a resident.

Summary
The first thing Dennis hears every morning is the sound of the grease trap hissing in the shop below, then feels his four-year-old son wriggling deeper into his ribs, like he wants to crawl back into Dennis’ shriveled old sack of a uterus.
He’s not sure which one wakes him first.
(Or, Whitaker is a struggling single dad, an MS4 who is about to graduate and crushing on two old men).
