Summary
Dennis Whitaker has always been good at enduring things: church on sundays, long shifts, the years old, quiet ache in his chest he refuses to name. He works, he fixes, he stays useful. Everyone agrees he’s holding up just fine.
Then he coughs up purple petals in a hospital bathroom and learns that love—unspoken, unwanted, and terminal—has been growing behind his ribs all along.
Ft. hanahaki disease, unrequited pining after allegedly straight attendings, bad coping mechanisms (cigarettes), and a man accidentally meeting his own cause of death on a nightclub dance floor.
OR
Dennis had his first cigarette after two years of quitting the first time he coughed up purple petals in the men’s bathroom at work.
In one fell swoop the relentless chest pain was finally explained and his death sentence was handed to him in paper thin purple petals, wet with saliva and sputum, coughed into the open palm of his healer’s hand.
It was strange that before then he’d never considered his own feelings for Robby. They had become very much like the pain in his chest: unpleasant but so long into it, also easily ignored and background noise to his every day.

Summary
As it turns out, falling behind the curtain is a bit too close to life to count as death. When his obnoxiously self-sacrificing godson turned that Resurrection Stone in the Forbidden Forest before he marched on to what he believed was his death, Sirius Black did not fade back into the afterlife along with his best friends. No, he was found in the Forbidden Forest, in the aftermath of the Second Wizarding War, shockingly, furiously, alive.
Five years later, he's built a recluse life as the reluctantly beloved Hogwarts DADA professor, seeing his godson three times a year and sustaining his irritating need for human connection by meeting women for a night in muggle bars in London, and recently, getting a puppy.
And then, he bumps into Hermione Granger on the train. She's far too young. She's Harry's best friend. She has a successful business and, last he heard, a boyfriend she loves. The last thing she needs is a miserable old dog who's still mad to be alive.
And yet. He wants nothing more than to be hers.

Summary
In a world where the first words your soulmate speaks to you are tattooed on your skin, Dennis got the short end of the stick when he finds his to be "Nice to meet you." (What kind of random bullshit is that?)
Now meet Michael "Robby" Robinavitch who has been living with a "Uh, Dennis Whitaker, MS4" on his ribs but doesn't believe in soulmates.

Bookmarker's Notes
Chap 7, this is genuinely one of my fave WIPs, if not it! Great characterisations, gorgeous writing, and such a fun concept so brilliantly and throughly explored!

Summary
Two and a half years after Carol Sturka saved the world, Zosia still hates her. No, that's not quite right. Well she doesn't not hate her. But the word isn't quite strong enough. She thinks about her all the time. Between shitty cups of staffroom coffee, impassioned lectures to dozing students, and reading Carol's ridiculous romantasies (she only picked it up because it's rude to leave a charity shop without buying anything).
Fic version of 'what would happen, if you just...called Taylor up?'
A character study for Zosia

Summary
Emma Nolan is just trying to survive her new job in the Pitt.
After she was attacked on her first day, getting stronger seemed like a good idea.
Developing a gym crush on an arrogant, brutally honest ortho resident who won’t stop correcting her?
Less so.
Especially when he’s right about everything.
***
Brendon Park is just trying to finish his residency and leave Pittsburgh behind.
He has a fellowship in California, a plan, and no intention of getting attached to anything—or anyone—here.
Taking an interest in a nurse from the ED who always seems to be training next to him?
Ill-advised.
Especially when he can’t seem to stop spotting her.

Summary
Ever since Dennis Whitaker left home, he'd always expected to be alone. He didn't count on abrasive, sharp-edged and sharper tongued Trinity Santos not knowing when to leave well enough alone. The last thing he expected was to be offered a rent-free room in her apartment as long as he changed his hair and accepted death penalty if he left the toilet seat up.
OR
The one in which Trinity adopts Dennis like an emotional support foster kitten, and he adopts her too she just doesn't know it. ft gay pining after attendings and emotionally unavailable surgeons
OR
She narrowed her eyes at him. “You’re a terrible liar, Huckleberry,” she said flatly.
“I’m not lying.”
The bus lurched again, and this time she didn’t move away when their shoulders knocked together. Neither did he.
“It’s okay if you are. Just have the decency to be good at it.”
“Colossians 3:9, ‘Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices’,” Dennis recited almost instinctively.
She just raised an eyebrow. “I see you’ve had practice with all this fucking memorisation needed for med school. Maybe you could help me out with pharmacology.”Bookmarked by FragileThingWithFeathers
