   Summary

   Alan's on his last arrhythmia pill, and he can't exactly pretend the bottle isn't empty. How will Sam react when faced with a new roadblock to his recovery?

   Officially an AU. Will not follow the show's ending. Currently contains some spoilers up through episode 9.

   Written as part of Whumptober 2022. Rating bumped up from T to M for disturbing violence.
