Summary
If she’s still and quiet, if she’s not taking an active role in this, then maybe the blame isn’t entirely hers. Maybe she’s not a homewrecker. The dreaded Other Woman is such a pop culture cliché; never in a million years could Mel have imagined that she’d be in that position. It doesn’t feel real. Part of her wonders, briefly, if she’s dozed off in Langdon’s front seat, but she knows what a dream feels like. This isn’t it.

Summary
It's been a few months of this, a slow unravelling she couldn't pinpoint the beginning of if she tried—and she had tried. The feeling, this…desire, this hungry, insatiable want, had crept up on her, slotting in so naturally beside her inborn love for him, she didn't notice the change until one morning she woke up with his sleeping face so close to hers, and she wanted to kiss him.
She'd never felt anything like it. An urge so intense it's as if her mind was shouting at her, frighteningly loud in the muted morning. She hadn't thought much about kissing before—she didn't look at boys, and she had yet to experience her first crush. Frank gave her everything she needed, there was never a reason to go searching for anything else. But she knew in that moment, as she watched his eyes move beneath his eyelids, felt the warmth of his breath fan over her face, that she thought wrong. It wasn't that she'd never had a crush, but that she had one devoted, lifelong crush on her brother.
--
Mel panics over how she feels about her older brother Frank, and he kisses her about it.

Summary
It was meant to be a quiet Samhain in Mehitable King’s little cottage beyond the woods. Just her cat, her herbs, and the full moon. Then a bloodied, bewildered, and inconveniently handsome stranger came crashing through the trees.

Summary
You know, Frank Langdon would love to say he’s gotten his shit together about Mel King in the eight months since his return to PTMC in July, but, well, he hasn’t. (It doesn’t mean he hasn’t thought about it, though.) And just when he thinks the stars align and an opportunity presents itself in the form of an engagement party RSVP, an accidental text from Mel sends him into a tailspin.
Frank is confused and heartbroken
and turned on, but Mel asks him for help… and who is he to deny the love of his life?He’s a good person. When he wants to be.

Summary
“I swear I’ve mentioned Alex before,” Mel murmurs, frowning down at her phone, still not clocking how she’s short-circuited Frank’s brain. It's a blue screen of death up there. Hi, you’ve reached Dr. Frank Langdon. I’m not available to talk right now, but leave a message, and I might get back to you. Beeeeeep.
The picture continues to shine cheerily up at them, silently mocking Frank. He forces himself to look away and swallows with difficulty. “I think I'd remember if you'd told me about your ‘best friend’ who you ‘used to be in love with.’”

Summary
"Mel likes to think that she’s got her head on straight.
She’s been planning commutes and balancing budgets and organizing home aides since she was twenty. If Mel wants something, she makes it happen. Or convinces herself that she doesn’t need it. But there’s one thing, one golden exception to her system, that Mel can’t help dreaming about.
She wants a washing machine."
OR
Mel spends her Wednesdays trapped in a laundromat because her building doesn't have a machine. Frank decides laundry is more of a team sport

Summary
"Mel isn’t having a panic attack.
She isn’t.
Her breathing is barely elevated and her heart rate is approximately normal. Certainly adjacent to normal. She’s fine. Mel is trying to fix something and a panic attack would be a waste of time so she isn't doing it. She holds her phone to her ear, listening to the ring tone with a fluttering tension.
Burrrr.
Burrrr.
Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice messaging system. ‘Becca King’ is not available right now. If you’d like to leave a message-"
OR
Becca doesn’t need to come into the ER for a UTI so when Mel gets off her shift, she’s hit with a sudden uncommunicated change of plans. An entirely predictable figure steps in to help her.

Summary
"Sometimes Mel thinks all her little problems actually matter.
She cries on the bus after long shifts, straddling the line between trying to stop and trying to get it out so that she doesn’t ruin Becca’s night. She watches her coworkers pair up happily, full of inside jokes, and knows there’s no one waiting to catch up with her. And she gets up on bridges to see if she’ll actually do something about any of it."
OR
Six months into working in the Pitt, Mel is reaching her breaking point. She doesn't expect Frank to be the one who finds her when she finally cracks.

Summary
"Gloria is downstairs which means it’s crisis mode in the ER. Well, for some people. One person.
That’s probably more accurate.
Gloria is downstairs so Robby is in crisis.
When isn’t he though? That man seems to have the resilience of a soaking-wet chihuahua when it comes to having conversations with half the people in the ER. Cassie thinks his take is skewed because Frank is one of the people Robby doesn’t want to talk to, but he’s not convinced."
OR
Robby's trying to hide from Gloria behind a desk, Frank's surprised he's considered immature with that glowing example, and Gloria's trying to roll out a new peer review measure that's sure to ruin everyone's flow. Just a typical day in the ER.

Summary
“What are you doing here?” is what she says when her brain comes back online, and she takes a moment to drink in the sight of what he wears on his day off. The silly “Hi Hungry, I’m Dad” printed across his blue t-shirt would normally give her a giggle fit, along with his unkempt dark hair sprawled in every direction, but nothing feels funny right now. Except maybe her stomach.
Or
Mel and Frank go shopping. (Kind of.)

Summary
"Once a year, like a bad zombie movie, a shambling mass of dead-eyed day-shifters drag themselves to the PTMC an hour early to be lectured on hospital policies and standards.
It seems almost counterintuitive that people who agreed to years of extra school just to reach residency would consider a lecture to be one of the worst days of the year, but alas, such is the power of hospital administration, cursed be their names."
OR
It's HR policy day and Frank is looking forward to having a normal time, playing footsie with Mel and not taking any notes. Hopefully there aren't any surprise questions that force him into the hot seat...

Summary
"There are hundreds of stories about the acts of gods and heroes. Epics about how they shaped the world, comedy and tragedy dancing with one another in the same tale.
Everyone wants to hear stories of such great figures.
Much rarer are the stories of nymphs.
And rarer still are those about nymphs that don’t find themselves to be a tragedy."
OR
Mel is a dryad drawn out into a world larger than herself when the beloved daughter of Demeter is stolen away under her nose. With no answers and a clock ticking down until her mother finds out about her disappearance, Mel must leave her comfortable grove and find her before it's too late. No matter the personal cost.

Summary
"The art of calling something into existence is not a peaceful endeavor.
Perhaps that’s why mothers cradle their bloody cooing babes after birth, pressing them close to their chests. They press promises of the world into their tender skin as an instinctive bond intertwines them as surely as a single being. Maker and made. Protection and protected.
Mel isn’t given any promises at her creation.
Lightning stolen from the sky and warped through impossible instruments forces life into her with a burning current. It races through her uncontrollably, compelling her heart to give that first fateful pulse.
Life takes Mel in both hands as it drags her forth.
Her creator is silent."
OR
What if Frankenstein had agreed to make the creature a companion? What if Mel was created out of the deepest affection and the lowest of threats?
