Summary
Melissa King lives in the controlled chaos of the ER, where saving lives is easier than sitting with grief. Langdon has learned how to survive loss by keeping his head down and his heart guarded. When crisis pulls them into each other’s orbit — through long shifts, quiet hallways, and moments that refuse to stay professional — they form a connection neither of them is prepared for. As family, duty, and boundaries collide, Mel and Langdon must decide what it means to hold on when everything else is slipping away.

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
Ellie’s eyes lit up. She tightened her palms around the embroidered patches of Mars, Venus, and Earth on the straps of her backpack and then quickened her pace as fast as her little legs could take her. The image of the house grew closer.
It was an old farmhouse. Vines clung to the faded, wooden siding. A porch wrapped around it, the paint chipped. There was a large willow tree in the front yard. A tire swing hung from an especially large branch. Ellie’s thoughts were immediately consumed with how much she wanted to ride it. The night breeze brushed her bare arms, nudging her along.
TLDR// Toddler Ellie comes across a haunted house while running away. In it, she finds a nice, though grumpy, ghost, Joel. For the first time in twenty years, he feels alive, looking after her when no one else ever has, the entire time terrified he'll lose another little girl.

Summary
She was there, a blurred silhouette in his green flannel, gun still raised.
She turned and fired at the front of the room, hitting the last man charging in. His body thudded to the tile.
In the new silence, one man lay gasping on the floor. She walked toward him, slow and purposeful.
Joel sat up, breath ragged, and watched.

AKA Joel finds Ellie, mute and traumatized, as he heads west. It’s going to be an emotional roller coaster my dudes.Bookmarked by trappedwithinabstract
