Summary
Anyways, it was always just supposed to be a little bit of fun, nothing serious. It wasn’t his fault that Robby expected more than Jack had ever agreed to give him.
But at night, all alone in his empty dorm, Jack had the sinking feeling that he had been the one to ruin his life– not by being caught, but by letting Robby go. That he had lost something vital to his being, something that he would never, ever be able to replace.
Internalized homophobia, externalized homophobia, and the pressure of Don't Ask, Don't Tell pull Jack and Robby apart. Thankfully, the story doesn't end there.

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.

Summary
Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"
"MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.
Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.
And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

Summary
Robby walks out of the Pitt on the Fourth of July with his life shrunk down into two bags and finds himself in the dark--in an an apartment already stripped of everything his, trapped in his own head, in a maelstrom of guilt and regret.
Then Jack's texts arrive. And his last reason to stay dissolves.
He has always been the problem. Now he is going to do something about it.
Miles away, Jack answers a phone call in the middle of the night. Could he pull Robby back before it's too late? And what will be the cost of survival?Bookmarked by pigwideon

Summary
Some people might call it a sixth sense, but Jack Abbot is a doctor, so when he walks into the ED already feeling the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, he knows it’s not magic, it’s his amygdala reading infinitesimal changes in the room. He isn’t conscious of it, exactly. But he’s not not conscious of it, either. His subconscious brain is processing minute changes in the environment, in the energy around him, in voice tone and volume, in motion and stillness. Patterns, and the changes therein. His therapist calls it hypervigilance, a trauma response. Jack calls it paying attention.
And okay, maybe it overreacts sometimes, this hypervigilance, but it's rarely wrong outright. So when he gets that feeling of something bad about to go down, Jack turns toward the source without consciously deciding to.
His eyes meet Robby's across the ED, and his entire body goes cold.
"Lena, call security," he says, the low whip-crack of his voice cutting through the conversation at the desk. "Get them here quiet. And call the police."
