Summary
Robby didn’t expect his life to shift during a routine shift in the ER. And he certainly didn’t expect Dennis Whitaker, brilliant, chaotic, quietly observant Dennis Whitaker, to become the one person he can’t stop thinking about.
What starts as small rides home, little touches and stolen glances between patients slowly turns into something neither of them knows how to define.
They try to keep it quiet. They try to keep it professional. They are, for the most part, failing spectacularly.
Between late-night texts, nervous grocery store dates, a suspiciously intense game of “let’s pretend this is casual,” and friends who notice everything, Robby and Dennis are learning that maybe the hardest part isn’t falling in love, it’s admitting it out loud.
A slow burn romance about timing, restraint, and the inevitable collapse of pretending you don’t want someone.

Summary
“Come here, kid.” One of Robby’s hands catches Dennis’s and lands against his sternum, trapping his arm against his chest, while the other stays in his hair, fingers winding into damp curls. Dennis’s attention is everywhere and panicked. He catches a flash of Perlah readying the needle and a desperate sound punches out of him.
“Nope, don’t look at that,” Robby says, using the hand in his hair to force his head back, angling his vision away from the commotion and up towards him. Dennis’s eyes lock onto his, pupils blown wide. “Look at me. Yep, good. I’m right here. You’re doing so good, honey. Just keep those eyes on me.”
The IV tourniquet snaps into place and panic flashes anew in Dennis’s face. ”Robby—”
“I know. It’s just Dana and Perlah. We’re just pushing some fluids, no more drugs. You’re safe.” Out of the corner of his eye, Robby can see Perlah speeding through what has to be the fastest IV placement of her career, Dana keeping her grip on Dennis’s hand to stop him from jerking away. Dana shoots him a glance of warning and Robby tightens his hold. “Okay, quick poke now. Still just us. Deep breath, Dennis. I've got you."

Dennis gets drugged by a patient and has a bad trip.

Summary
Dr. Robby is too old for this. Too old to be losing sleep over a resident.
It starts slowly. Favours and conversation. Things that last longer than they should.
Clearly there is nothing to discuss since the whole thing is just a temporary lapse in judgment.
Still, the way Dennis looks at him makes everything harder…And Robby, who has spent his entire life being careful, realises he may have already passed the line of no return.Slowburn, the chapters get longer as we go, cuz I get greedy
( posting when I can, proofreading when I can, sorry I just wanna go with my stupid stream of thoughts.)

Summary
DN-15S was designed too be a farmhand. Instead, CyberLife slaps a medical upgrade on him and ships him off to Pittsburgh as part of their shiny new “Medical android initiative.”
After mere minutes of activation he’s stuck in The Pitt, trying to survive trauma bays, overworked doctors, and the general chaos of human medicine. Will he actuall be of use? What will happen when the android revolution erupts in Detroit, and everything he thought he understood about orders, obedience, and identity gets thrown into the blender?
How will a repurposed farm model fare in one of America’s busiest trauma centers?
And when the world starts burning, will our huckleberry stay loyal… or go deviant?Or A Dennis android AU, where our favorite attending is begging to Gloria to Hire more nurses, instead the ED is getting some sort of sentient roomba.
Or Dennis is a Robot. (it has been brought to my attention that this work can be read without knowing anything about Detroit become human. Which is baffling to me, but according to my readers is the case, so try it see if ya like)
