Summary
"For all that we could have been,
we are Icarus and Atlas, again.
In this, this restless rapture of sky and skin,
the heavens find no mercy from the seas within.
This is our story; a sunburnt, saltwater sin." -p.dOr; Stan and Bill throughout the years.

Summary
The baby slips into his hands. Fucking tiny, but - pink and screaming and perfect.
He holds the infant in his hands for a long second, longer than he ought to, just staring.
His.
The minute the baby slips out of his arms, he can feel something … tear. Some piece of him, gone, leaving behind a ragged hole.
Twenty-six years later, Dennis Whitaker walks into his emergency department and shatters his world for a second time.

Summary
“Holy shit,” Santos says. “There’s a baby priest in triage.”
-
Dennis Whitaker, in his last year of seminary, is delighted to be assigned to a rectory in Pittsburgh, and to the hospital chaplaincy that comes along with it. Finally, he's out into the world, where he can be of real use.
Slightly less welcome is Doctor Robinavitch, the senior attending of the ER, who seems to resent Whitaker's presence to the point of deliberate avoidance, even though the man is coming apart at the seams and could clearly use a friendly ear. Still, Whitaker is certain he'll find a way to make the most of the last twelve months before he's ordained.
It's just that lately he's started to have the strangest dreams.
Or: Dennis Whitaker and Michael Robinavitch's lovestruck, sacrilegious year of magical thinking.
