Summary
It's eight months since Pittfest, and Jack has been talked into being on call for day shift, by the sneakiest, and most unscrupulous argument Gloria could have made.
It's for Robby.
Naturally, that means Jack caves instantly.
So after his shift, Jack heads for the on-call room to catch a nap, only to find Robby there, killing time and pissed off over being forced to use some of his long overdue PTO. As Jack banters with his best friend, trying to maintain the illusion that friendship was all he felt, Robby says something that could change everything.
Before Jack can say a word, Robby bolts, and Jack is left reeling.

Summary
It wasn’t the first time, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last. It was ordinary, part of both their continued white-knuckled grip on the edge of life. Keeping it together. Sometimes you just couldn’t carry it alone. Sometimes you needed someone to stand by you, to fill the air with words until the world righted itself, to walk beside you back onto solid ground.
Sometimes, unfortunately, it was that person’s day off, and you had to drag yourself off the roof.
Jack kept drifting.
He wanted it all to stop.
He craved silence.
Stillness.
Darkness.
The world was too damn bright.
...
Jack has a rough night and goes to find Robby. Robby tries to keep Jack grounded, however he can.

Summary
In September 2005, Robby left PTMC to travel to New Orleans to assist in relief efforts after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. There he met a young Army doctor named Jack Abbot, who had deployed to Louisiana with the 14th Combat Support Hospital. Robby was immediately dazzled by his new acquaintance, but under the circumstances, the spark between them never caught flame. Twelve years later, after Jack is medically retired from the Army, they meet again, when a newly widowed Jack applies to be an Emergency Medicine Teaching Fellow at PTMC. This time, things turn out differently.

Summary
Robby finally piped up: "Kind of a shame, though. Guy seemed like your type."
Jack felt himself wanting to bristle, quickly controlling it. Because what the fuck. They'd been entirely wrapped up in each other in the year since Pittfest, Robby finally going to therapy, letting them get more serious than the fuckbuddy deal they'd had going before that. Jack had thought things were going well. "I have a type?" he challenged, raising his eyebrows.

Dana was already explaining: "Mohan was asking if this guy's single," she said, hooking a thumb Jack's way.
Robby lit up like he'd just gotten a gift, turning bemused eyes his way. "Oh, was she," he drawled, enjoying this.
Dana made an indulgent noise. "Apparently she's very taken with our dear Dr. Abbot and wondered if the feeling is mutual." They both looked to Jack then, Dana long-suffering, Robby delighted.
Fuck Jack's life, honestly.

Summary
Robby frowned and looked at Jack. "Is it me or are you now off Monday through Thursday?"
"Yeah, I figure we can drive out Tuesday morning and come back in time for my shift Friday night."
Robby's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Did someone invite you to the cabin I rented?" Jack tilted his head and just looked at Robby, silent and expectant. After a long moment, Robby huffed a resigned laugh, like he wondered why he even bothered protesting. "Jack, would you like to come hiking with me?"

Summary
“This isn’t a wheelchair,” She groans, standing again. “This is a medieval torture device, Jack.”
Jack shrugs. “It’s what I’ve got. Prosthetist’s fixing the leg.”
Her eyes narrow. “You wouldn’t let a patient go home with this, I know you.”
“I’m not a patient,” He mutters, logging into the portal and tuning her out.
She doesn’t let him. “You’re a patient right now,” She shoots back. “My patient.”
(Or, Jack’s prosthetic breaks and he needs a better wheelchair, a custom. Robby — the ATP/PT, fits him for one).

Summary
As soon as the elevator doors slide open, Jack Abbot is hit by the commotion of a busy ER. Alarms blare from a nearby trauma room, triggering a rush of medical staff towards it. A phone rings at the main desk, there’s a bark of laughter from the security office, and, from across the other side of the room, Jack can hear raised voices that soon get drowned out by the sirens of an approaching ambulance.
He’s never felt more at home.
There’s only one thing wrong.
He can’t find Robby.

Summary
They aren’t his family, not in the traditional sense. But the idea that they might be, that they could be, unsettles him more than he wants to admit. It’s the same quiet dread that hit him when Collins said he had helped raise Amy. He doesn’t know why exactly. Maybe because imagining them as a family implies imagining him and Jack as something. And that’s just absurd, right?
Or: Robby has been a quiet constant in the lives of Abbot and his daughter, filling a space that was never clearly named. As they drift into their fifties, he begins to recognize that his feelings for Jack may have deepened into something real and perhaps impossible. Now he’s left wondering if this almost-family could ever truly be his.

"Why did I just get a call from the site admin notifying me of an elevator entrapment involving two of my doctors?" Gloria asked. "Who else is in there with you?" | It's 7:01PM the first Monday after PittFest, and everything is going great—at least for Jack. Until it isn't.

Summary
Jack looked from the intern picture to Robby again, rubbing a tired hand over his eyes. "Jesus, this is like a recipe." He gestured between the picture and Robby, young and old. "It's like twink plus seasoning equals daddy. Fuck," he said, a kind of helpless note to it. Then he walked out, like he hadn't just dropped a bomb on Robby's head.
What did that mean?

Summary
It sparks something in him, seeing Jack wearing his clothes, and what it sparks is the startling capability for Robby to put his foot in his mouth. Because in addition to thinking of Jack in his sweater, he thinks about his reaction to it.
Robby never claimed to be a smart man. Maybe in med school when he was young and cocky, but in recent times Robby has never assumed the position of intelligent. So, really, it shouldn’t be surprising that he’d also be unintelligent about all things Jack, too.
(Or: the one where Robby yearns)

Summary
“This is fucking ridiculous,” Robby grumbled while he fumbled to straighten his tie. “Of all the admin bullshit they put us through, this may be the most demeaning.”
Jack bit back a laugh and knocked Robby’s hands away. “You’re making it worse,” he said and fixed the lopsided bow tie, patting his palm over the silken fabric when he was satisfied. “There. Don’t touch.”
Stepping back, he made an obvious show of looking Robby up and down, from his neatly brushed hair and trimmed beard to his newly shined dress shoes. “They’ll drop top dollars for you,” Jack said, teasingly, hoping his face didn’t expose his genuine appreciation for just how good Robby looked in the bespoke tuxedo.
“Ridiculous,” Robby muttered. “Hospital administration is parading department chiefs on stage like we’re contestants in a reality show.”
