Summary
“Dr Carter's… Dr Carter's been shot.”
Those are the words that crackle through County General's radio, but nobody truly believes them until the ambulance screeches to a halt outside the entrance, and Mark tugs open the passenger side door- only for Carter's unconscious body to list out, covered in blood from the neck down. Somebody sobs.
“I drove as fast as I could.” Zadro explains, stumbling over his words as the assembled team (Mark, Carol, Lydia, Malik) struggles to pull Carter onto a backboard. “Tried to put pressure on his neck but the blood just kept coming.”
OR
Carter is shot in S5 E17 instead of the other paramedic.

Summary
A fuck-up at work triggers bad memories and bad habits for John Carter. In the midst of a record heat wave, Carter goes for a punishing run on his family's property, with terrible consequences. Peter Benton to the rescue.
He puts his fingers to Carter’s neck, and is horribly unsurprised at the weak, thready, and extremely rapid pulse he feels beneath the skin. Tachycardic. Very tachycardic.
A hand on John’s forehead is all but confirmation of Peter’s fears. His face is blazing hot, more like touching a furnace than human skin.
Heat stroke.

Summary
As a surgical intern in his second year at County General, John Carter is not doing a great job at taking care of himself. On a snowy day in March, Carter's sleep deprivation, poor eating habits, and dedication to his patients contribute to an incredibly poor judgement call that might just cost him everything.
In simpler terms: Carter goes into hypovolemic shock after donating a dangerous amount of blood during a chaotic shift in the ER.

John is trembling, now. A nearly inaudible whimper escapes his lips.
“Haleh, can you prep two of Ativan?”
“No,” John croaks sharply. “Don’t. I don’t want it.”
“Carter, you’re in pain. We’re going to have to do this again, three more times.”
“I don’t care,” John whispers. “I don’t consent.”
Carter does not escape the shooting in 7x04 unscathed.

Summary
All things considered, there are worse places to wake up than the floor of an exam room at County. Better places, too, but Carter learned by the end of his first ER rotation that a large part of being successful in emergency medicine is learning to work with what you actually have as opposed to what you wish you did.
For one thing, waking up on the floor of exam two in what Carter assumes is the middle of a shift means he's (1) waking up at all and (2) oriented to person and place. He's not so sure about the time element of it all, but two out of three ain't bad.

“Sometimes it’s just—” Dennis starts, then shakes his head. He’s choking again, his voice shattering underneath every word as he manages to force out, “Sometimes it’s just— too much—”
His breath halts him, strains him once more, and he’s trembling as he burrows into Robby’s chest again, Jack blanketing him from behind. The throbbing of Robby’s heart underneath his ear drowns out everything else, helping Dennis focus on this and only this— on them and only them.
“I know,” Jack quiets him. “It’s okay.” When he presses a kiss to the nape of his neck, Dennis tightens his grip on him, too, knuckles whitening, pulling him in closer against him. “You’re okay.”
or: dennis wakes up in the middle of the night, and his brain won't let him go back to sleep. robby and jack help.

“Stand up,” Phillip snapped. “Stop being such a damn liability.”

Summary
When Steve Rogers does something nice for the wife of one of the largest Russian mafia families, Winifred sends her son, James Buchanan Barnes, to offer him a 'favor' in return. But Steve, who is incapable of seeing the bad in anyone, ends up missing the fact that Bucky's in the mafia entirely and thinks that this brick house of a man wants to go on a date. Bucky, finding this clueless yet confident coffee shop owner refreshing and adorable, decides to give it a shot.
What blooms is a lovely romance between the two, where Steve is constantly surprised that they always have the best seats at restaurants, that Bucky seems to know everyone in Little Odessa, and that Bucky has a crap ton of guns in his apartment. But why do all of Steve's friends go pale when Bucky comes around? How does Natasha know Bucky? And when Steve's health starts to get in the way, how far will Bucky go to make things right?
*
A mafia AU slams into a coffee shop AU, and out pops a cracky, fluffy, smutty, and angsty identity porn fic between son-of-a-mafia boss Bucky Barnes and clueless coffee shop owner Steve Rogers that takes a brief look into the bowels of the American healthcare system.
