Summary
"It's not about that," Robby insisted. Jack tilted his head, mouth forming a thin line as he stared into Robby's eyes with that unflinching focus. He didn't need to say "bullshit", Robby heard it loud and clear. "I just need a vacation," Robby repeated for, what, the tenth time - the word slurring a little with the whiskey.
The tension was thick and for a terrible moment Robby thought Jack might call him on this. Might make him admit that his heart had finally broken three months ago, in that long night after Pittfest when, drunk and in pieces, he'd called Jack and finally asked if he could ever have even more of him.
OR
On his sabbatical, Robby decides to ride Jack's hometown, Oceanside, California - where someone he meets someone who looks wildly familiar.
Starts post Pitt s2 and start of S1 Animal Kingdom - alternate universe where Jack is Pope's twin, not Julia (hence no "J").

Summary
A figure down by central fifteen catches his attention, the sight causing an immediate visceral reaction. His heart rate spikes, and his hand clenches at his side.
"What the fuck is he doing here?"
Dana follows Robby's gaze across the open plan area to where Jack Abbot is talking to Collins.
Dana lets out an exhausted sigh.
Robby fucking hates the man.
Luckily, the sentiment is returned, and Jack Abbot can't stand him either.

“I could help you.” Jack says, words coming out before he can even consider the thought, “When do you need to get your cycle logged?”
Robby turns his gaze back to Jack, eyebrows raised, “You offering to be my cycle partner, Jack?”

Summary
“You okay?” Robby asked, concern lacing his voice, all of this attention now on Jack.
“Yeah, yeah. It’s—fuck this is dumb.” Jack mentally braced himself. “So you’re on Grindr, right?”
“...Yes,” Robby answered hesitantly, his brow furrowing in confusion. “And I know you know that, so…” He trailed off and raised his eyebrows, questioning.
Jack did some quick mental math on how to have this conversation without humiliating himself and came up empty, so he took the direct approach. “How would you advise an older bi guy who’s new to the whole ‘sex with men’ scene?”
Jack comes to Robby for help, but things don’t go as planned for either of them.

Summary
Soul-marks are colorless depictions of animals found on a persons body that normally appear in childhood. The animals will only come to life with color when a pair of soulmates come into physical contact with each other for the first time.
Robert knew the basics of soulmates and though he got comfort from his mark he had really no desire to search them out. His life was a mess and he didn’t believe anyone deserved to be thrust into the middle of it.
(This fic takes back priority to my other two Flambert fics. So updates will be more random until those are done.)

Summary
Denial. Robby could recite the stages of grief like a prayer. But this? No, it simply wasn’t true. He’d seen Jack, what, an hour and a half before 8:24? Jack, who’d joked about…something. What was it? Hawkeye, that was it. Jack had called Robby ‘Hawkeye.’ And then he’d left, saying he’d see him tonight. Jack had said specifically that, he’d said he’d see Robby tonight. That wasn’t…that just wouldn’t make sense.
“No, he, uh…he’s back on duty in a couple hours, he’ll be coming in for his shift.”
It was such an inane thing to say. Exactly the sort of thing he’d find heartrendingly innocent in the family of a patient, when delivering the bad news. Not rational. Not real. But this had to be real, Jack had to be coming in for his shift. Handover was in two hours.
Officer Anders stepped in. “We’d like you to come down to the station with us to identify the body.”
-----
Robby finds out that he's Jack's emergency contact in the worst possible way: when he's called in to identify the body.
Can be a sequel to 'Day or Night,' but also works as a standalone. Title from 'I Was an Island' by John-Allison Weiss.

"If you really want to know, the hot new thing is an app called findr. It's for bougie professionals who like to pretend they're elevated while slobbering all over each other, so entirely your speed."
At that, Robby lost his war with self-control and did flip her off.
Ellis actually laughed. "The vision," she repeated, dark eyes dancing. "findr," she said again, like he might have forgotten. "Go fuck away the raincloud, Robby. For everybody's sake, but mostly mine," she drawled as she sauntered away.

Summary
Jack was poised for a beautiful three-pointer when Jake spoke, "So, hey, what's it feel like to get fucked?"
The surprise of it scattered his focus for an instant, but figuring that was what Jake wanted, Jack let muscle memory pull him through, releasing the basketball—and getting nothing but net, fuck yeah.
Then he looked over at Jake and tipped his head, nonchalant. "Vulnerable."

Summary
When Robby ambled in a little early for his shift, central was a hive of activity, Walsh calling back to Jack as she accompanied a gurney out of Trauma 2: "Learn from the master, soldier boy."
"When you find one, be sure to let me know, princess," he shot right back, but the note of fondness in his tone made Robby freeze. That wasn't their usual back-and-forth. That held warmth to it. An undercurrent of knowing. A joke shared between two people who'd seen each other naked. More than once.
Robby clocked Jack watching Walsh go—what the fuck—and then he went back into Trauma 2, debriefing with the team. It was the tiniest moment, nothing—
And yet Robby's whole understanding had just realigned. Jack and Walsh. What the fuck.

"I want to be alone, Jack," Robby said, short and sharp and pissy.
Fucking great. Apparently in the 45 minutes since Jack had last seen him, Robby had gone from devastation to anger. This would be fun.
"It's nice to want things," he drawled, deliberately light. "I wanted to walk out of Iraq on my own two feet, but hey. No plan survives contact with the enemy and all that."
Robby turned then, looking at him over the top of the couch, face drawn, eyes dark in the low lights. "Yeah? You my enemy?"

Summary
The unexpected sound of a door opening behind him, though quiet, startles him out of it. He jumps, eyes flying open, and turns around to see who’s entered. It’s Ted. Of course it’s Ted. It’ll always be Ted, Trent thinks as they make eye contact.
Ted’s got his green backpack on, holding Keeley’s pink gift bag in one hand. The sight of him like that — packed and ready to depart — makes the hollow feeling claw at Trent’s ribcage. Sharp nails and a fearsome strength. For a moment, they simply look at one another across the press room.
“Hey, Sport,” Ted says eventually. And his tone is the softest it's been since he broke the Kansas news a week prior.
Trent grips the side of his manuscript, tight. “Hello, Ted,” he replies.

“I’m sorry, you’re what?” Rebecca’s staring at him as though he’s announced his plans of robbing a bank. “You’re going out to dinner with Trent Crimm? Trent Crimm, formerly of The Independent? That Trent Crimm?”
In retrospect, sharing his dinner plans when Rebecca asked what he was doing tonight might have been a slight mistake on Ted's part.

Summary
"There was a reason he always included his newspaper at the end of his name. People should be identifying Trent with the Birmingham Mail, with journalistic rigor and sarcastic questions, not with locker room smiles. Not with left wing politics. Not with affairs with football players, whose evident straightness could be explained away with a fantasy of tragic closeting.
"But a boy could dream."
Trent Crimm has already lived a long and checkered life as a reporter, but when he meets an inexperienced coach called Ted Lasso, he breaks every single one of his own rules.

subject: Re: what the heck spell checkCoach Lasso,
I can assure you that my transfer has nothing to do with your club's relegation, nor is there anything that Richmond has done in error. Rather, I have spoken with my editors and we’ve agreed that this is the most appropriate course of action.
I wish you all the best in the season.
