    Summary

    Robby is finally back in Pittsburgh following his extended sabbatical. He’s made a tentative truce with his dead but now must reintegrate to a department that hasn’t waited for him. New staff have arrived. Old relationships have deepened. Seven months of shared history unfolded without him.

    It’s all a bit much for pre-07:00 Robby.

    With a nasty stomach bug thinning staffing, the waiting room as crowded as ever, and a roster of new faces to meet and learn and supervise, the pre-Valentine’s Day shift is the usual chaos and then some.

    ***

    Jack was staring at him, evaluating again. “Are you ready for this, Robby?”

    “For the medicine. Yes. For the rest. We’ll see.”

    ***

    Meant to be read after Sabbatical; could be read without.

    Post-canon Season 2; AU after that point.
