    Summary

    It’s the spring of ‘97 when Michael Robinavitch is dragged into a gay bar for the very first time.

    When he meets Jack Abbot there, the two of them are on the cusp of radically different futures: Robby is about to begin his residency, and Jack is leaving for the army. They know better than to get attached - know the timing is wrong, the goodbye inevitable - but something tender takes root anyway. Through every deployment, Jack thinks of Robby more than he ought to; through every failed relationship, Robby wonders about what might've been.

    Years later, when their paths cross again at PTMC, the past resurfaces — and though they’re older, more jaded, and scarred in different ways, they find themselves pulled towards everything they left unfinished.

    Summary

    They aren’t his family, not in the traditional sense. But the idea that they might be, that they could be, unsettles him more than he wants to admit. It’s the same quiet dread that hit him when Collins said he had helped raise Amy. He doesn’t know why exactly. Maybe because imagining them as a family implies imagining him and Jack as something. And that’s just absurd, right?

    Or: Robby has been a quiet constant in the lives of Abbot and his daughter, filling a space that was never clearly named. As they drift into their fifties, he begins to recognize that his feelings for Jack may have deepened into something real and perhaps impossible. Now he’s left wondering if this almost-family could ever truly be his.

    Summary

    Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"

    "MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.

    Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.

    And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

    Summary

    In New York, Ilya is celebrating a victory against the Admirals by watching his secret boyfriend destroy the Pittsburgh Penguins on home ice on a hotel TV. He isn't prepared to witness Shane go down, hard, in a pool of blood.

    Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, Mel has agreed to a blind date in the hope that it will help her move on from her growing feelings towards the very-married Dr. Langdon, who has recently returned to the Pitt. When her date takes Mel to a hockey game, she doesn't think her night can get any worse - until one of the players has his neck cut open mere feet away from her.

    Mel doesn't hesitate to act. And over three hundred miles away, all Ilya can do is watch as Shane's life is held in a stranger's hands.
