Summary
It started small. Real small. Barely a whisper.
Doug noticed it first. Carter had that look. That look that wasn’t just tired or stressed or “I’ve-been-in-surgery-for-eight-hours,” but that weird haunted thing, like he was trying not to be. Trying not to be seen. Head down, stethoscope all tangled like he didn’t have the energy to fix it. Caffeine on his breath, skin pale, lips just a little too blue.

bitter medicine (i think it's making me sick) by beenicetobees for maisiec33

Summary
Peter’s annoyance comes back with full force. He knows logically that he’s just tired, and that Carter isn’t doing anything wrong, but he’s just being so loud!
If he had let the doctor part of his brain come to the forefront at this point, he would have caught it. Carter’s breathing was always accompanied by a lot of noise, it had been like that since he started at County. But in the silence of the room the whistle that was present in it today was very apparent. If he had thought about it at all, Peter could have told him to go take a seat and take a hit of the inhaler that he’s sure must be in his pocket. But he doesn’t.
______
Carter has severe asthma and has an attack during a particularly difficult shift while he's still a med student. Dr. Benton is NOT worried about him at all, thank you very much.

Summary
“Do you always act so self-sacrificial? Or are you just trying to impress Wheeler?”
Steve snorted, “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re the one with demobat venom running through his bloodstream.”
That made Eddie’s smile fade as he looked at him with concern. All jovial teasing gone.
Steve noticed the change and turned his head to look at him. He swallowed thickly as he took note of the way Eddie’s jaw was clenched…and how soft his dark eyes had become.
Then he noticed how close their damn faces were.
or
Steve Harrington is having a really, REALLY bad time after getting mauled by those demobats.

Summary
Every prospective parent is nervous and full of doubt, but for Steve it is much more complicated than his abysmal childhood or simple inexperience. After an accident reveals a life-changing neurological condition, Steve is downright terrified that the challenges of his newly acquired diagnosis may not allow him to be an amazing father in all the ways that he had always envisioned himself being - and had so badly wanted to be. That it was too big of a mountain for him to climb. Thinking it best for everyone involved, Steve surrenders his dream of having children. But sometimes life has other plans, and shows you just exactly what you're capable of and how much you can overcome to make your dreams a reality.
