    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.

    Three conversations between Langdon and Robby, after Langdon's return.

    Summary

    Langdon's been gone for a week now. Time flies. Time crawls by slowly.

    "I miss him."

    Robby's voice is thin when he answers.

    "Me too."

    Robby can't seem to forgive Langdon and he doesn't know why.

    Summary

    Langdon comes back from rehab with feverish eyes and a near-constant grimace. He's just as fidgety as ever, just as snarky, and just as competent, but he doesn't look Robby in the eyes. Robby returns the favor. The trust between them disintegrated as soon as he pushed Langdon out the door. As soon as Langdon decided not to tell Robby he was struggling. Neither of them know how to get it back.

    Robby has to wonder though; if he'd tried harder to fix their relationship, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

    Frank Langdon angst, based off the original character description that he overcame a 'devastating back injury' to become a doctor.

    Summary

    “Walk me through what you’re thinking.”

    Dr. Langdon’s voice came from behind her. Before she had the chance to turn, he stepped closer, leaning over her shoulder to look down at the screen.

    It happened so fast. The warmth of him at her back. The clean scent of soap mixed with coffee and something else she couldn’t place. His hand reached around her to point at something on the screen and for half a second, his arm brushing against hers and she became acutely aware of the little space remaining between their bodies.

    Her pulse stuttered. Any explanation she had died in her throat, instead only a quiet, choked noise came out. She was effectively frozen, completely against her control.

    What the hell?

    or

    5 + 1 trope for Kingdon Week: 5 times Mel felt Langdon from behind & dealt with the emotional fallout, +1 when she let herself go and enjoyed him.
