Summary
By the time Colt Seavers meets Jody Moreno, he's been stealth for more than a decade.
At least when it comes to his being trans, anyway; he's never made a secret of not being straight. He didn't try making a secret of being trans, either, it just kind of happened.

"♩ ♩ ♬ ♩ ♪ ♫! [Mean very important! Not many!]"
Grace racks his brain for a moment, then offers, "Precious?"
"[Yes! Teachers precious! Grace precious!]"
On Erid, teachers are the protected, prized few. Rocky learns that Grace was a teacher, and they have a discussion. (Can it be counted as one if dissonant notes are shrieked at the revelation for the majority of it?)

Two aliens loving each other by Moldcontamination (fungifacts)

Summary
“Yes. Important research for science.” he pauses “Important research for Grace-related science” the Innuendo was there, alright. “Graceology” Ryland giggles at his pun. Rocky sure is trying to get a PhD in Graceology lately. “Call me a geologist the way I’m studying your-”
“Stupid joke. Anyways, Rocky found out some humans liked to use certain clothes before or during mating. Courtship reasons? Question.” He had figured out that humans really liked their clothes and while this wasn’t that uncommon in Erid, Rocky found it weird. “Are you talking about lingerie? Gosh you- Yes, it is kind of for courtship I guess. But sometimes it’s just to feel- Uh nice?” he makes a so-so hand gesture “Never really understood that but it’s something to do with texture.”
“Understand. Eridian’s have something similar but it is solely for courtship. Fun”
Grace and Rocky have an unsual friendship. But there is nothing usual about two aliens loving each other.

Summary
“...nope.” Grace pulled the quilt farther up on his shuddering body, then turned his back to him. “Nope- oh, no, no, absolutely not. Nope.”
“For sci-encee,” Rocky whined, actually whined, practically pawing at the edge of the bed, and Grace whipped back to face him, eyes squinted in the dark.
“I don't buy that, Rock.” Rocky wilted with the sentiment. God, he was pushy- and if Eridians could evolve to have puppy dog eyes, Grace was convinced Rocky would be at the forefront of that development. “Not for a second. Y’know, you’ve been-”
“How will Rocky possibly know how to please, if no?”

"So how humans pick partner?"
"Well, sexually speaking, I guess a lot of humans go off of looks,” said Grace. “Physical appearance.”
“Physical appearance!” Rocky was scandalized. “No good. Bad variable. Tell you nothing. Have to run experiment. Have to try.”

Summary
Jack’s working so hard not to drool that he misses the way Dana pushes off the counter, strides right up, and before Jack can dodge she has a cheap plastic button pinned crooked to his scrub top.
Kiss Me, I’m Irish.
Jack means to pop it right off and chuck it at her head. Instead, there’s a code and he’s off, doing his little skip-hop because he ain’t in his running leg.

There are cops in the ED when Dennis arrives for his shift.
Not necessarily unusual, sure, but he could've done without the unwelcome news that there's a knife-wielding maniac on the loose in their immediate vicinity.
Figures this would happen on a Monday.

Summary
Ex Mormon Dennis Whitaker, folks. ft a lot of mental breakdowns. author is lowk working through trauma with this one (I am exmo)
Title and chapter headings from We'll Never Have Sex by Leith Ross <3
(His desire for human contact was embarrassingly innocent. A hand squeezing his shoulder, the nape of his neck, petting through his hair. Sometimes, laid down at night, alone, he would pet himself like that. Rub his scalp, pretend it was someone else's hands. If it was someone else, who would it be? Would they whisper sweet things to him?
Now, he imagined it to be Dr Robby. As humiliating as that is, he can't help himself. Dr Robby gave him something to work with— he squeezes his own shoulder, pressing his thumb into that bit of skin Dr Robby had touched. Dr Robby's hands are bigger, warmer, but Dennis makes do.)

Summary
“Can I help? Please, I want— Let me help.”
It’s all too much, but his last three words prove to be Robby’s tipping point, pushing him finally and fully over the edge.
Desperate, jerky, he nods against Jack’s shoulder. He just barely manages to choke out, “Please,” and, “I’m so sorry,” before Jack shushes him.
“Don’t be sorry,” Jack says on repeat. “Don’t you be sorry, it’s okay. It’s all going to be okay, I got you, brother, alright? Neither of us is going anywhere without each other, I can promise you that.”
or: robby contemplates taking his own life after his last shift before his sabbatical. jack sees right through him.

Summary
He focuses on Robby, ignoring the slides behind him. Noting the gentle product he ran through his hair this morning, dabbed lightly on the tips of his fingers and guided through bed-fluffy strands. Appreciating the apples of his cheeks and the light flush that fades into his beard, the way his lips curl around certain words and his tongue darts out to dampen them.
Occasionally, Robby’s eyes will meet his own. Holding on for a syllable or two before fluttering off to another audience member, always engaging, always welcoming someone in.
For fifteen minutes Robby speaks, for fifteen minutes Jack holds tight on to shore.

Summary
When Robby ambled in a little early for his shift, central was a hive of activity, Walsh calling back to Jack as she accompanied a gurney out of Trauma 2: "Learn from the master, soldier boy."
"When you find one, be sure to let me know, princess," he shot right back, but the note of fondness in his tone made Robby freeze. That wasn't their usual back-and-forth. That held warmth to it. An undercurrent of knowing. A joke shared between two people who'd seen each other naked. More than once.
Robby clocked Jack watching Walsh go—what the fuck—and then he went back into Trauma 2, debriefing with the team. It was the tiniest moment, nothing—
And yet Robby's whole understanding had just realigned. Jack and Walsh. What the fuck.

Summary
1 in 6 individuals engage in self-harm during their lifetime. 1 in 19 healthcare workers report recent thoughts of suicide or self-harm.
Dr. Robby is one of those individuals.
Or
Being a healthcare worker comes with an immense amount of stress, and it’s something that often doesn’t get talked about enough. It’s a quiet reality for so many people in medicine, worn down by endless shifts, grief, and the impossible expectations placed on them. While The Pitt does an incredible job portraying the intensity and emotional weight of that experience, I wanted to add my two cents on how some healthcare workers find ways, healthy or not, to cope.Bookmarked by maxsplaining
