Summary
When Ryland entered Meeting Room D for the science teams meeting that Stratt threw on all their calendars two hours ago, the room was abnormally quiet, absent of the usual meeting chatter. Stratt had stopped talking when he had entered the room. Okay. That’s strange.
Even stranger, the seat to Stratt’s right was already taken. Ryland recognized the man immediately; Dr. Adam, “a staggering waste of carbon,” Scyther had sat in Ryland’s spot.Bookmarked by FollowingShadows

Summary
What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.
Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.
---
Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

Summary
Zuko had scrubbed the smell of sex and blood of himself, but that didn’t stop it from clinging to the inside of his nose. Could the others smell it? Could they taste his shame in the back of their throats too?
Irrationally, Zuko wanted to crawl inside himself. Peel those watching eyes off him; don’t look at me! They knew, somehow. They could see it on him. Some kind of tell, some stain he couldn’t see or wash away.
What if they all knew? Laughing behind his back at what he’d given up just for a fraction of a chance to get his honor back.
What honor? Any scrap he’d had left after the Agni Kai was lost the moment he spread his legs for Zhao.
They could all see it, couldn’t they?
Zuko wondered if he could ever be rid of the things Zhao did to him.
Zuko deals with the aftermath.
He goes about it the same way he deals with every other shitty thing in his life: with gritted teeth, stubborn pride, and a whole lot of yelling.Series

Summary
Frank knows exactly what’s wrong; Robby must too. He’s been practicing medicine as long as Frank’s been alive, he knows abuse as well as he knows anything else in emergency medicine. And Frank won’t call it that, not really, but he thinks it on the quiet nights. He thinks it when his boss looks at him like that. He thinks it when part of him aches from being grabbed too hard, pushed, maneuvered. When he gets home late not only so she won’t yell, but so she’ll be asleep before she can suggest anything. He won’t touch her in bed just so she doesn’t wake, doesn’t reach for him. Doesn’t make him say no, not tonight. Please, Abs, I’m too tired, just to be cut off by a kiss. Hips straddling his. His consciousness retreating inside him so he won’t have to be present for his body betraying his fear of her.
But he’s not at home in his bed; he’s not looking Abby in her murky hazel eyes he used to love. Frank is waiting for a case to take up more space in his mind than the fear.
The cycle has been going on this long, he thinks it can go on a little longer still.
Frank knows what abuse looks like, but it's a lot easier to ignore when it's you. Robby helps.

Summary
Of course, a mass casualty event was not the time to disclose that to Robby. Of course, Robby was at capacity for how much he could lose. And of course, it had been the worst day of Robby’s life. For a moment, in his drug-induced selfishness, Frank pleaded for Robby to remember the little bit of good in him; to ignore the bad. When Frank watched Leah die from across the room, when he heard of Robby trembling against a wall in paeds, he did the only thing that made sense. He insisted that Robby see the abundance of bad in him; to ignore the good.

“But- it is a big deal, that was-”
“It’s fine, really.” Langdon held his arms tighter, knuckled white where he gripped his sleeves.
Javadi frowned, “Are you sure?”
“I am.” Langdon looked around again, sighing and rubbing his brow, “Look, I appreciate the concern, but I really- I can’t risk causing anymore problems right now.”(PLEASE carefully read tags!!!)

Summary
The mental soundtrack Langdon summoned during CPR had changed a few times over the years. In medical school, it was the classic Stayin’ Alive, until someone told him All Star by Smash Mouth was 104bpm. There was a brief stint where it was Dancing Through Life, because they saw it on Broadway for their anniversary, and Abby insisted he reminded her of Fiyero and kept singing it at him. But when Tanner was around two years old, it became Baby Shark, and hadn’t changed since. It was, actually, the perfect tool for CPR; thirty compressions slotted perfectly with each new shark, and the whole family lined up with five cycles per round before switching out.
Being in substance abuse recovery has more of an impact on heat stroke recovery than anyone, including Frank Langdon, would've expected. Or, Langdon runs a code in the ambulance bay, develops heat stroke, and seizes, the Ativan dilemma arrives immediately, and Robby has feelings.
Chapter 2, now with more Mel!

Summary
She heard Frank’s sharp intake of breath. When he next spoke, she could hear the frown in his voice.
“Robby, I’m- please, I’m sorry, man.”
She didn't know what exactly Frank was begging for. She just knew she didn't like it when he sounded like this.
“Then do better.”
For a second, Heather thought she may have misheard. Robby wouldn’t- Robby would never speak to anyone like that. But then again, Frank was never just ‘anyone’ to him.

Time wasn’t a luxury that Robby often afforded himself. The ED ran on seconds before minutes, people's lives saved or lost with the tick of a clock.
The clock could go a little longer on this one. Robby wasn’t ready.
Robby and Frank aren't talking after Frank gets back from rehab.

Summary
Be kind to yourself, Cassie says in his head, soft and gentle. But Frank can’t. There is no world in which he can be kind to a version of himself that hurts Robby, especially sober. He’s supposed to be better now; he’s spent ten months clawing his way back inch by inch to being a person instead of a loose collection of hurts and cravings and spikes that pierced anyone nearby. But it seems that the version of himself that can connect with Robby, see eye-to-eye with him, talk to him without feeling like a gut punch, died the day of Pittfest last year.

Summary
Abby's hands were worn. They pushed, and tore, and grasped at him in every way Frank longed for. They burned fingerprints into his skin, and branded him as hers. He had loved it, once, but as time went on, those hands got mean, and he didn't know what to do about it. Who would he even go to?
Or; Obligatory abusive!Abby fic where we see it evolve over the years of their relationship. Heed tags, a little more explanation in notes. This does end well, though.
