Summary
If they were still together, Robby would be pulling Jack into his chest, quietly singing in Russian until he calmed down.
Except that they weren’t together. Not anymore.
Fuck. How did it still hurt this much after more than a decade?
…
After a messy breakup and an even worse deployment, Jack moves to Pittsburgh and gets a job working at PTMC. Unfortunately, guess who already works there?
His ex. Michael Robinavitch.

Summary
The mom didn’t back off.
“Come on,” she nudged, “tell me you’re not single. A man like you shouldn’t be.”
“Well…” Robby said, exhaling softly, “actually, you see that blonde nurse outside? That’s my girlfriend.”
Jack froze.
Ms. Campbell seemed as caught off guard as Jack himself, the smile on her face faltering as the words sank in.
It made sense. Of course it made sense.
Robby and Dana.
Or, Robby and Dana use each other as pretend significant others whenever a patient doesn’t take no for an answer. Jack, being new, has no idea about the arrangement.

Summary
When his phone rang loud in the stillness, waking Jack from the sleep of the dead he'd perfected in war zones half a world away, he sat straight up in bed and knew: something was wrong.
His phone announced it was Dana—and it was 0721—which shot a little thrum of worry through him as he answered. "What happened?" he asked, no preamble. She wouldn't wake him if shit hadn't gone sideways.
"Robby hasn't come in yet and he's not answering his phone," she said, voice grim. "He's never missed a shift without calling." She spoke quietly, probably standing in the middle of the ED, trying to keep up a brave face for everyone else. As much as she could, anyway. People tended to notice when the fucking chief attending didn't show up to work.

Summary
An unexpected break-up means Robby ends up going to Pittfest with Jake after all. He asks Abbot to cover half his shift, and Abbot is happy to agree—surely half a day shift can't be nearly as chaotic as the usual night shift. Everything that happens later changes his perspective on plenty of things, from just how crazy the day shift can get, to where exactly he wants to stand with Robby.

Summary
It’s one of Ethan’s hilarious little quirks—he refuses to sleep within a twenty foot radius of anyone, thirty feet if space allows, having declared himself a menace to all and sundry when asleep.
Just because it’s true doesn’t make it less obnoxious.

Summary

Summary
The last thing he remembers is leaving school. It was a half day, as he’d finished his exams early, texted May about staying over at Ned’s place, sent another text to MJ and then a twitch of his spider senses--
Then a pinch at his neck, like a bee sting, but deeper. Darkness. Then here.
Huh. Kidnapped. That’s new. If he was less emotionally dead from finals and sleep deprivation, he’d probably have a stronger and much more appropriate reaction to that.
At least he's got Captain America and the Winter Soldier to keep him company.

Summary
Gi-hun’s lips curled into a smirk, his gaze cold as he shook his head. “Fifteen years, and you’re still the same selfish bastard you were back then.”
Gi-hun thought his biggest challenge at his new job would be impressing clients—he didn’t expect to run into his ex from fifteen years ago… especially not as the CEO. Now he’s stuck navigating awkward reunions, old sparks, and the small matter of working under the guy who still knows how to get under his skin.

Summary
The smallest of changes more often then not can change the outcome of some things. In this case, What if something had stopped Ezra from going to the top of the Sith Temple that day on Malachor? What if, someone warned him of a fate befalling his master? What if, instead of Kanan, Ezra is the one who loses his vision?
What would change, what would stay the same?

Summary
Liz took a cautious step forward and the little boy's hand clenched into a fist inside his jeans pocket.
Michael watched this exchange and warned, “Don’t touch him Liz.”
Liz didn’t let her eyes leave the boy, “He’s your inner child, Michael. He’s adorable.”
“My inner child will stab you.”
She spun around at that, “Don’t be ridiculous.”
Michael just shrugged, “His hand is in his right pocket. There’s a switchblade there. I stole it from a truck stop when I was ten. Blue handle. Keep stepping closer and I’m sure he’ll show it to you.”
The little boy looked at Michael with betrayal and the older man just raised an eyebrow, “Don’t stab my friends.”

Kirk really should have expected this. He really, really should have. It seemed like the transporter malfunctioned every other time they used it. But it had been almost a year since the last major transporter fuckup, and he’d let his guard down. And now there were two Spocks.

It should be noted that Matt Murdock hated sports. Bore a great aversion for such violent, barbaric pastimes like it. It wasn’t anything personal—okay, actually, that was a lie: it had all to do with it being personal.
