Summary
She’s everything Daryl Dixon isn’t. Well-read, controlled, careful. He’s impulsive, closed-off, and impossible to read. They clash. They argue. They don’t make sense. And still— they can’t seem to stay away from each other. Even when they try. Even when they should.

Summary
In the dark of the night, he pulls you close. In the harsh light of morning, his pride pushes you away. But when the countdown begins and the blast doors start to seal them, Daryl's tough-guy act completely vanishes. Because if the world is going to blow, he’s getting you out alive —or dying trying.

Summary
Dr. King and Dr. Langdon notice each other in ways they don't notice others. Whatever could that mean?

Summary
If Frank had ever thought about it before, which he hadn't, he’d probably conclude he likes physical touch about as much as the average person does.
It’s not like he minds it when people touch him, especially since he’s kind of oblivious about personal space. He often ends up brushing up against people or dropping a hand to a shoulder or bumping into someone in the Pitt, and he doesn’t tend to think twice about it beyond a quick apology when needed.
(And maybe he does some of that on purpose, when it comes to one coworker in particular, but again, this isn’t something Frank has ever thought about, so he definitely doesn’t dwell on what that means.)

Summary
Frank Langdon had been sober for three hundred and sixty-three days, divorced for two hundred and twelve, and in love with Mel King for so long now that he couldn’t remember what his brain sounded like before her.
The sobriety milestones were easier to quantify.
Love, unfortunately, was less cooperative.

Summary
Eventually, one woman, all the way at the end of the bar, did catch his eye. Long blond hair falling loose over her shoulders, a single point of stillness in the otherwise frantic scene. He put his drink down, wiping his palms on his jeans, grabbing his drink again. His palms were immediately wet again, the condescension on the glass. Better than sweat, at least. He made his way over. He leaned against the bar near her, gathering his courage to speak. He hated feeling nervous.
“Uh,” He started. Not his best work, “Hey.” He said. This wasn’t going to go well. She turned around, trying to discern if he was talking to her or not, and his heart nearly jumped out of his chest, it was trying to climb up his throat and out of his mouth, which made speaking hard.
“Dr. Langdon ?” Mel said, smiling widely.
“Uh,” He said, sweating.

Summary
Frank Langdon should not be touching Mel King like this.
Jesus, this was a bad idea.
But it was just a strap. And then her clavicles. And then his fingertips and nails along her arms, lightly grazing the raised goosebumps forming on her skin. Her body’s reaction to his touch was like a drug. He hoped she couldn’t feel his body’s response. Fuck, he wanted to touch her more.
No. That was it. It had to be. He was not going to ruin this moment. She would never be able to see him the same if he did that, and he needed Mel King not to hate him like grass needed the sun. She was his last refuge in a world that would not forgive him.

OR: When the world keeps finding reasons to kick them when they're down, Mel King and Frank Langdon find each other again and again.OR: Frank Langdon, stop giving that girl rides home.

Summary
“I’m yours,” Frank answers. “Do whatever you want with me.” Mel gazes at his lips, hungrily.
“If I kissed you, would it ruin everything?” she asks, her voice hushed. He swears he sees fireworks explode over her head, his vision tunneling.
“I think I’ll die if you don't,” he breathes. He watches her face register his words, her gears turning a hundred miles a minute. Her eyes flick back to his for a moment, sparkling like he’s divulged the secrets of the universe.
or: 2 failed dates, 2 medical emergencies, and one drunken confession later, Frank and Mel find themselves at a vulnerable turning point in their friendship.Bookmarked by madzpsd

“You wanna sext me at work?” He leans back, raising his eyebrows. “That’s part of your plan to help me deal with keeping my hands to myself there?”
“I-I guess you’re right. I just thought it’s one of the only times we’re not— well, we’re not like this. Maybe that isn’t— I mean, if it’s a problem we can just—”
“It’s not a problem,” he cuts her off with his mouth.
Or: Practicing dirty talk via text messages at work might not help keep a secret relationship all that secret.

“I want you all the time. You know that,” he said, like it was a fact. Like the sky was blue, water was wet, and Frank Langdon wanted Mel King all the time.
It made her a little insane.

Summary
A dark laugh creeped out of his lips, the tone made her shiver even though she felt like she was currently a thousand degrees.
“You think I’m mad because you said you wanted me? Fuck, Mel.”
