Summary
Dennis lays in the bed with a stillness so absolute it feels staged. A ventilator breathes for him in measured sighs, the sound too rhythmic to be human. It almost looks like he’s a kid pretending to sleep in the backseat of his parents’ car, hoping to be carried inside by strong paternal arms.
Robby would do anything for that to be the case. Instead, it is sedation that has smoothed away the sharpness from Dennis’s features.
It is a heart attack that has made him so still.
Or,
Dennis Whitaker fails to clear and gets shocked by a defibrillator. He takes it as a punishment for sinful eyes that can't seem to look away from Dr. Robby and decides not to tell anyone. The ER keeps moving, but Dennis's heart doesn't. It terribly, horribly doesn't.

Summary
“Come here, kid.” One of Robby’s hands catches Dennis’s and lands against his sternum, trapping his arm against his chest, while the other stays in his hair, fingers winding into damp curls. Dennis’s attention is everywhere and panicked. He catches a flash of Perlah readying the needle and a desperate sound punches out of him.
“Nope, don’t look at that,” Robby says, using the hand in his hair to force his head back, angling his vision away from the commotion and up towards him. Dennis’s eyes lock onto his, pupils blown wide. “Look at me. Yep, good. I’m right here. You’re doing so good, honey. Just keep those eyes on me.”
The IV tourniquet snaps into place and panic flashes anew in Dennis’s face. ”Robby—”
“I know. It’s just Dana and Perlah. We’re just pushing some fluids, no more drugs. You’re safe.” Out of the corner of his eye, Robby can see Perlah speeding through what has to be the fastest IV placement of her career, Dana keeping her grip on Dennis’s hand to stop him from jerking away. Dana shoots him a glance of warning and Robby tightens his hold. “Okay, quick poke now. Still just us. Deep breath, Dennis. I've got you."
***
Dennis gets drugged by a patient and has a bad trip.

Summary
His eyes are instantly drawn to Dennis Whitaker, who just recently became an intern for the PTMC. Jack always finds it hard to keep his eyes off him whenever they happen to inhabit the same room. Luckily, Dennis doesn't work night shifts often enough for it to become an inherent problem… a very one sided problem it seems.
Jack has an unfortunate crush on Dennis. It makes him feel absolutely juvenile with the way he hangs on Dennis’ every word, replays every conversation a million times in his head, and has the severe urge to reach out and touch him. It hasn't been long since he realized his feelings for him, but once it clicked, it's all he can think about. It consumes him in a way he hasn’t felt since he first met his late wife, Elizabeth.
Or: Jack Abbot is very much into Dennis Whitaker and it turns out to be not as one-sided as they both think.

Summary
No, I don’t want to fall in love. This world is only gonna break your heart.
Jack Abbot swore off love after his wife died. Casual is safer, it doesn’t leave a mark. But when a sense of rivalry with Robby turns into an unshakable fixation on his overlooked resident, Jack sets out to win him from Robby.
He doesn’t count on Dennis running a game of his own.
Dennis Whitaker swore off love when he first learned that falling for someone means giving them the chance to break you first. When Trinity notices Jack Abbot paying close attention to her roommate, Dennis and Trin hatch a plan: play the innocent and ask Abbot to help him “figure out his sexuality.”
What starts as two careful lies snowballs into something else entirely.
Jack thinks he’s just helping Dennis get ready for somebody else. Dennis thinks he’s protected as long as nobody finds out the truth. Both of them are wrong, and both of them know it.
What a wicked game to play.

After leaving California with nothing left to lose, Pope disappears into the steel city of Pittsburgh, pretending to be someone he’s never had the chance to be…
A normal man
In search of the half brother he never knew, he begins building a life held together by borrowed names, practiced smiles, and the desperate hope that if he acts human long enough, he might actually become one. But when a stubborn blonde trauma doctor refuses to fear the monster beneath the act, Pope is forced to decide whether this is just another disguise… or the first honest version of himself.
