Summary
A new routine had presented itself in Frank’s life. Stay over at Abby's on the weekends, and on weekdays, he’d be in his apartment. It was easier for the kids to adapt, to have him in their grasp for a few days at a time. To the average person, it may seem sad to be divorced and in such close proximity with your ex-wife. To be a ghost in your own home. Yet, he wasn’t sad.
When Abby had sat him down and broken the news that she was ready for things to come to a swift end, he agreed. There was no other option for the two of them other than remaining friends. It had been that way for much longer than either of them would like to admit. They had hardship before pain pills infiltrated his consciousness.
However, his new life seems to unbalance itself when Melissa King asks Frank to go out to a bar as a favor. It shifts even further when she pokes and prods at the boundaries of their relationship with almost no warning. And who is he to deny Melissa King?

Summary
“So you know how Abby and I are going through a rough patch.”
Mel cocked her head. “I thought you were getting a divorce.”
“Nah, she won’t actually go through with that. She’s just making me work for it,” Frank said, as if he hadn’t been served with divorce papers in the ED lobby through the plexiglass.
“Ah,” said Mel.
He took a deep breath. “So anyway, I was thinking. You’re single, I’m separated. We should be friends with benefits. Just for six months or so, until Abby takes me back.”

Summary
go home, loser.
She doesn’t feel like giving him a hard time right now, truly, but she’s hoping if she’s casual, maybe he’ll magically think everything is okay and actually go the fuck home.
A ding.
u send her out to me and i’ll put in my fucking two weeks notice.
She stares at her phone helplessly, then looks back to Robby.
“Fuck,” he barks out. “Fuck. Fine, I’ll…I’ll go figure something out.”
He turns on his heel and starts walking towards the cops.
Her phone dings one more time.
where’s mel.
(or, mel gets taken hostage in the ed. it changes trinity santos' entire worldview.)

Summary
"I think it’s not about other people’s trust in you. It’s more about if you trust yourself.”
Frank trusts himself with a lot of things—saving a patient’s life, taking care of his kids, calling someone when he’s craving benzos. But with Mel? She’s so rare, so precious. How could he ever trust himself with that?

Summary
"Significant pulmonary contusion and multiple rib fractures, and there's very likely a subdural hematoma in there too,” Garcia says grimly, sounding like she's citing it to herself rather than to anyone else in the room. “We’re lucky it's most probably small, but given her fluctuating GCS it still concerns me quite a bit. Also, besides the shard of metal, the bruising and swelling along her abdomen suggests the possibility of internal bleeding as well, but we need to get in the OR to fully evaluate the severity of it."
“Jesus King,” he murmurs. “You were supposed to have the day off.”
or: there's a car accident on mel's day off. she ends up at the pitt anyways.

Summary
“So listen,” Robby says, “I heard you’ve uh, well, that you’re living with Dr. King. Is there any truth to that statement?”
Frank groans.
“Yeah, yes, I’m living with her,” he says and Robby gets that crazy look in his eyes so Frank barrels on, “It’s not like that. Robby it’s not,” and Robby doesn’t look like he believes him one bit. “I’m living in her spare room and I pay her rent. We’re roommates. That’s not a crime.”
or: frank gets out of rehab, gets divorced, and needs somewhere to live. enter mel.

Summary
SPOILERS FOR ASPECTS OF LUCANIS' BACK STORY AND RECRUITMENT.
***
Spite breathes in, a noisy inhalation as he tastes her emotions, gorging on her deep-seated pain. “So alike,” he sighs dreamily. “You have the death-stink too. Do you think they blamed you as they died?” Hands that are not his own come up to frame Taliesin’s face, thumbs sweeping along the curves of her cheeks. “Little Taliesin, Second to her Clan, never satisfied. Always off chasing dreams. Little Taliesin, returning to the rubble, her tears like ashes on the ground. Little Taliesin, wandering alone, ripping the wings off of dead things to fly-”
***
Written pre-release so excuse anything that proves to be OOC later once the game releases.
