Summary
Terrified to leave, more terrified to stay, unable to bear the thought of being alone with himself for even a single hour longer, he did the only thing he had ever known how to do in moments like this, which was run blindly toward the person who frightened and comforted him in equal measure.

And so the words come—not as a question, not even as a considered response, but as the only possible interruption to the trajectory he can feel, with terrible certainty, unfolding before him.
“Please don’t go.”

Summary
Robby has spent years filing his feelings for Jack away under safer guises— friendship, companionship, collegial affection— because those nomenclatures demanded nothing of him, required no explanation, threatened no irreversible shift in the careful architecture of their relationship, both inside and out of the hospital.
The term he kept coming back to, though, was brother.

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Robby says slowly, stiffly, “I think I must have misheard you, because I’m pretty sure I just heard you tell me that my mother, whom I haven’t seen in almost fifty years, came to my place of work today, the one time this week that I wasn’t there.”

Summary
Jack stares at him. “I feel like you’ve skipped a few lines of script, brother. Why are you booking a hotel?”
“You said your friend is coming over,” Robby reminds him. “Look – I got it. Message received. I don’t mind crashing somewhere else for a few nights if it spares you telling all your army buddies that you’re dating a dude.”
Or: When Jack invites an old veteran friend to stay with them, it turns out Robby's vague worries about homophobia are only the tip of the iceberg.

Summary
“What the fuck?” Jack breathed, his attention locked across the bar, on fucking Robby, who was being led toward a back exit by his pool partner, the guy’s hand resting possessively on Robby’s lower back.
Robby returns from sabbatical, still trying to find his way forward, and it appears to Jack that Robby’s plans don’t include him.

Summary
The night before his very first shift as an MS3 in PTMC, Robby meets a guy at a bar and goes home with him—it's perfect, but it's definitely just a one-night stand, especially when he bumps into the guy in the hospital the next morning: Jack Abbot, MS4, who doesn't even seem to remember Robby. Many, many years later, the Pitt Christmas after-party is at the same seedy bar, and it turns out Jack did remember, after all.

Summary
“I haven’t had a heat since I was fourteen,” Robby said, not meeting Jack’s eyes. “Never planned to again, but today…” He shrugged. “I guess today was too much. Game over.”
Robby has his first heat in 40 years, after his suppressants fail. He can’t hide who he is anymore, but the last thing he wants is an Alpha.
