Summary
Nobody warned him recovery involved this much accountability, that eventually all roads would stop leading outward. He’s run out of people to blame now, out of excuses and circumstances and explanations. All that’s left is him standing face to face with himself, and he doesn’t particularly like the way he looks in his reflection.
Or: For a long time, Frank Langdon believed the worst thing that could happen to a person was pain. Then he discovered that pain has a talent for bringing company.

Summary
Fucking Jack Abbot. What are the chances of that, bumping into him here. Well, it turns out, not so low after all.
Or
During the 10 months that Frank isn't at work he keeps on bumping into Dr Abbot. Him and Abby are taking a break, she doesn't want him at home and he's sick of sleeping on his brother-in-law's shitty couch. Abbot makes him an offer he's a bit too eager to accept. And things...change.
If you need a doctor, I'll examine every inch of you blah blah blah and so on

Summary
“Do you know what it’s like,” Langdon presses on, “coming back to work after ten fucking months, and no one will dare to speak to me, like I’ve got some kind of contagious disease or something? I’m an addict, yes. I’ve made several mistakes, yes. I— everything you said, I fucked you over, I lied to you. All of it. You’ve said it, man. I’m not trying to contradict you, it’s just— It’s been almost a year of it being the only thing you’ve said to me.”
Robby shakes his head, a mirthless, almost disbelieving smile on his lips.
Langdon has been back at the Pitt for a while now, and Robby's done everything in his power to ignore him — until Langdon can't stand it any longer, and what started as a fight unravels a tangle of hard truths about their relationship that they'd sweeped under the rug, and suddenly want to step into the light.
Or, maybe love and forgiveness are the same thing, in the end.

Bookmarker's Notes
"He’s been doing that a lot — having weird thoughts and allowing them a spot in his mind. Lately, it’s been like a parking lot, his mind: there’s the area where the trucks are parked, the big, armored black trucks that hold thoughts like I’m a drug addict and My wife left me and What kind of a father am I; then, there’s the SUVs that have to drive in circles sometimes, looking for a spot, and they have stickers on their windows that say things like You’re getting older and Your back still hurts and You never call your parents enough. There are bikes chained to titanium poles that have some balloons tied to them that read That dog on my morning walk today was cute and I should get Penny those pink sneakers that were on sale and I have to buy a new toothbrush."

Summary
This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. He’d planned it all out, hadn’t he? Practiced in front of the cracked mirror in his new single bedroom apartment. Forced his unused voice past straining vocal cords. Again, again. Until he could seem like a passable version of his former confident, if not snarky, self.
This pathetic, shaking man clutching the cold seat of a toilet in the PTMC staff bathroom had never met that person.
---
Or: I put all the angst tropes in a blender, smash Langdon into a wall, and force feed him the smoothie.

Summary
Usually, Robby would not be caught dead at an after-hours social event with his coworkers.
But he’s not his usual self lately, and hasn’t been for the better part of a year, so he supposes it’s par for the course.
So tonight, he’s lingering in the corner closest to the TV, supposedly having a conversation with Santos, Whitaker, and Mel, nursing the insanely strong drink he had reluctantly let them press into his hands, and half-watching the muted Pirates game half-listening to the woman over the speakers sing about how you can watch me watch me party on you, yeah when the front door swings open and Frank fucking Langdon walks in.

Bookmarker's Notes
Langdon’s aggravatingly put together tonight in a way that makes Robby want to tear him apart, get his hands all over him, rough him up the way he knows Langdon likes. It’s a primal thing, this heady urge to see him in a way nobody else gets to, not even Abby, when they were still together — his chest flushed red and heaving, mouth hung open as Robby’s thumb presses flat against his tongue, that blissful, fucked-out look on his face. Eyebrows pinched up with a need that seemed to seep into his larynx as he would mutter Robby’s name against the skin of his thumb.
Adonai echad.

Summary
There are three statements of life that Langdon knows as absolute fact:
1. Langdon is a straight man. Women are gorgeous, and he has a wife whom he loves very much.
2. The painkillers he uses from the Pitt aren’t the start of a bad habit. He’s not an addict—just a good son recovering from a back injury sustained moving some furniture.
3. His relationship with the medical field is mutualism. He saves countless lives, takes good care of people, but he benefits as well. It keeps his head too busy to think.Robby challenges all those assertions.

Summary
“This is so fucked,” Robby says, the laughter in his voice a cruel echo of the way he used to say that to Frank, the we’re-in-this-together exasperation of the ER’s worst days, and he drags his hand down his face to stop himself from flinching when he recognizes it. “Does your wife—”
“Don’t,” Frank says, voice sharper than Robby’s heard it all night. Sharper than he’s heard it in ten months, the sharpest it’s been since Frank had to dull the blade of it and turn it inwards to save his own hide. It’s a bark more than a spoken word, but Frank’s not a dog.
Dogs don’t talk, Robby thinks. Dogs don’t talk, and dogs don’t have wives.
It’s more fucked, Robby knows, that it’s the word wife rotating around in his skull and not her name. He knows her. He likes her, for god’s sake. He’s had holiday dinners at her table and shared fond eye-rolls across the appropriately-themed tablecloth at ridiculous things Frank’s said, that same we’re-in-this-together exasperation, and now — now Robby can’t even give her the dignity of thinking her name with his fingers in her husband’s mouth.
or: frank isn't very good at asking for forgiveness. robby isn't very good at granting it.

Summary
So this is how it goes.
The thought came without drama. Just a simple conclusion reached ahead of his body, ahead of everyone else, ahead of modern medicine.
He grabbed the collar of T’s scrub with barely responding fingers, speaking through the liquid iron in his mouth. His voice felt like pounded meat. “No benzos.”
And then, just when the world started to narrow in static, as if it weren’t enough, his stupid brain refused to let go -
Robby is going to receive the goddamned letter.
Or
During Robby's sabbatical, Langdon left for an expat mission. Could they survive the consequence?

Summary
Dana would probably make fun of him, about how Langdon treats him like the Father and Robby joins in like Langdon’s his son, his spitting image. How Robby treats him like the son he could've had and never did. But unfortunately for everyone, himself included, Robby has never thought Langdon as his son, not truly. As a protégé, sure. As his best student, best resident. As the best thing he's ever been able to mold in his image and likeness, like God would do.

Summary
Ten years ago, on a lifeless world of snow and ice, Obi-Wan failed a test put to him by his Master. Now, much wiser in the living Force, he's compelled to try again.
But the test isn't for him, this time--for Qui-Gon is much wiser now (and more the fool) in love.
Or: "They say it’s the take and give,
but emptiness knows just where I live,
and emptiness knows me.Was it just chemicals in my head?
Tell me . . . how my hands can’t seem to find your hands in the dark?
Tell me, tell me how the hell did we get all the way up here?
How gravity’s gone?"Series
