Summary
"I left my gear in my truck from a job I had this weekend— I can grab it," Whitaker nodded, looking more determined. He took off his stethoscope and nametag, stashing them behind the nurses' station. He was off before Robby could protest, passing Dr. Santos, who looked at him with confusion.
"What are you doing?"
"Saving the bees!" Whitaker hollered behind him, doing a tiny fist bump that made Robby's chest tighten, and he dragged his hand over his face to hide his widening smile.
OR
dennis is a secret beekeeper and robby is down w it (AKA the beekeeper au that was very much inspired by that lady that scoops up bees on tiktok + robby's STRONG competency kink)

Summary
Because standing in front of him, just about thirty feet away is the most gorgeous man he has ever seen. Short dark hair, a thick salt and pepper beard, long strong legs and to top it all off his chosen look for this year’s Pittsburgh Pride is a simple pair of jeans and a black FREE DAD HUGS t-shirt with a very sturdy looking leather vest on top.
Dennis feels drool pool into his mouth that has nothing to do with the day’s sunshine.
“God, Trinity.” He whispers, eyes raking over the visible coarse hair covering his forearms and the peak of tattoos on his biceps. Robby shifts on his feet and the curve of a belly illuminates his profile underneath the leather. Dennis thinks he may faint. “You never said he was so hot.”

Summary
He wasn’t ever possessive, that felt unbecoming. Unholy, according to the Bible. But he was human. He got jealous when people encroached on what was his, envious when others had what he didn’t. But he did what he always did. He acknowledged it, repented, got over it, and moved on. At least, that was how it had always worked for Dennis. Until Robby. Because whatever fiery, irrational thing that took hold of him whenever someone flirted with Robby was unlike anything he'd experienced before.
Or, a familiar face of the past visits PTMC, and Dennis finds himself utterly possessive and jealous for the first time in his life.

Summary
Dennis takes a deep breath in to calm himself, but as he breathes out, he confesses, “Trinity made a bet with Samira that I could get anyone in the bar to buy me a drink because I kind of have a knack for it, but Samira chose you, and now they’re watching us, and I’m so sorry.”
His boss blinks at him a couple of times, probably figuring out the least problematic way to fire him or berate him for being so damn unprofessional. He should’ve just said no to Trinity and Samira and killed the vibes for the night; he’d prefer that to whatever Robby is about to say. He can already see the anger bubbling up inside him that’s going to—
“I’ll buy you a drink.”
Dennis stares at him, unblinking. After a few seconds, he manages to ask, “What?”
“I’ll buy you a drink,” Robby repeats, then leans over to pat the bar stool next to him. “But you’re going to have to earn it.”
-:-:-:-:-:-
Or, Dennis tries every trick in the book to get Dr. Robby to buy him a drink and to stay.

Summary
The plan was laundry. Meal prep. Maybe the documentary Trinity had been passive-aggressively telling him about for three weeks.
The plan did not account for Michael Robinavitch coming through a bar door laughing, Jack Abbott two steps behind him, and the particular quality of the look that passed between all three of them in the moment after.
Dennis has gotten better, this year, at letting himself want thingsBookmarked by tdbks (ljps)

Summary
Dennis Whitaker was right where he wanted to be.
Well, maybe not with who he wanted to be. He couldn’t help but try to imagine that the hands that were currently gripping at his waist were those big and calloused hands that squeezed his shoulders a few hours ago.
He couldn’t help but imagine that the smooth cheek rubbing against his neck was instead thick with beard, giving just that right itchy feeling that directed his blood right to his—
Not drunk enough then. He needed more.
Or
Dennis just wanted a night out and he never thought he would en up at the ER he worked at with a head laceration, drunk and stuck under the constant checking of his Attending.

Summary
"There has to be something you want to come back for. Something you can’t die without doing.”
Robby’s gaze roamed across Dennis's face, tracing the planes and sharp angles of his features like he was trying to commit them to memory. He already had a long time ago. The horrible, aching knot in his chest dedicated to Dennis was a piece of Robby that he tried, time and time again, to rip out. Always to no avail.
If he had anything to come back for, it’d be this one thing.
"Marry me," Robby said.
Robby, about to head out for his sabbatical and never return, thinks to hell with it—nothing matters except for the very real, very inappropriate feelings he's been harboring for his first-year resident. So he proposes. And before he can take it back, Whitaker says yes.

Summary
He reeked of antiseptic and all the strong, sometimes devastating, smells of the ER. All of his shift was spent going back and forward between severe traumas, a couple of GSW and the blur of patients coming and going like phantoms.
Or
After a rough shift Dennis can't seem to quiet down the demons of his past.

Summary
Dennis Whitaker has watched the man he loves die for centuries.
From Kingdoms to Battlefields to Plagues to Wars and now to Hospitals.
These different lives always have the same ending. Death and heartbreak. Sadly, only Dennis remembers their lives together, and Robby never does. So when Dennis starts his first shift as an ER intern, he meets the attending physician running the floor, Dr. Robinavitch.
Robby.
The man Dennis has loved in every lifetime. And this time, Dennis is terrified that history is about to repeat itself, or is it?****
“I love you,” Dennis whispered.
“I know, you do,” he breathed.” And so do I.” His fingers weakly squeezed Dennis’s hand.

Summary
It’s a pattern that Robby’s grown comfortable with in his flings; in week one he’s all in, but by week seven he’s itchy and ready for things to end. He’s never had a relationship clear the fifty day mark and it’s fine—that’s exactly how he likes it.
Enter Dennis Whitaker.

Summary
“I put in 1095, but it won’t turn off!” Dennis shrieks, trying to be heard over the sound of the alarm. He knows that he didn’t get the numbers wrong because he’s staring right at them on the crumpled sticky note. “What am I doing wrong?”
“Did you push the off button?”
Dennis looks at the keypad, not seeing anything that says Off. “What?!”
“Put the code in and push the pound sign after.”
Dennis does as he’s told, except, in his panic, he hits the asterisk instead. “Shit.”
“It’s the hashtag,” Robby says, sounding entirely put out.
“I know what a pound sign is,” Dennis grumbles, hitting the button and noticing the word Off in the smallest font known to man under the #.

Or, 5 times Dennis sets off Robby's alarm, + 1 time Robby does it himself.

Summary
After the Fourth of July, Robby leaves.
Whitaker follows.
Somewhere between Pittsburgh and the Great Plains, Dennis convinces him to come home.
Or: A getting-together oneshot that turned into a series about Robby and Dennis figuring out what they want to be to each other. Featuring yearning, hurt (but also comfort), Jack Abbot serving as Robby’s unlicensed therapist, Trinity Santos suffering more than Jesus, quite a lot of smut, actually, and gratuitous references to the great state of Nebraska.

And it terrified him.
Or, in which after a series of losses and heartbreaks, Robby runs away to a small town in the south and meets the man who gives him a reason to change.

(also i really hate that i have to say this but fuck ai, you'll have to pry the em dash out of my cold dead hands)
