    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker is almost done with his residency at PTMC. He’s matched, he’s on nights with Dr. Abbot, and he’s finally—supposedly—over his crush on Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch.

    Then Robby and Abbot get punished, shifts are swapped, and suddenly Dennis is back to work under his former mentor.

    Old feelings don’t stay buried for long. Especially when it turns out Robby isn’t nearly as unaffected as Dennis thought...

    ------------ROBBY POV------------

    Because that’s how Robby feels. Like Whitaker’s about to take his king.

    Fuck, take his bishop, he thinks, glancing in those blue eyes. My queen, my knights, all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, because nothing could put him back together again.

    ------------DENNIS POV------------

    Dennis might get reprimanded afterwards, but for now Robby knew when to pick his battles. So, Dennis ignores the small shiver traveling over his back at hearing those words and concentrates instead.

    “I’ll assist,” Robby says quietly, already reaching for the light. “Tell me what you need.”

    Dennis exhales, just a fraction. You, I just need you. “Retract. Steady.”

    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker is a newly MS2, juggling his classes, part time jobs and being unhoused, while narrowly trying to escape burnout.
    One day, he spills his coffee all over another man while trying to get a book from the library. Mortified by the experience he can only find comfort in the fact he will never see this stranger ever again. That is until that man appears in class as a guest lecturer a couple days later.

    Michael Robinavitch is taking some time off, over the anniversary of his mentor's death. Feeling too cooped up inside his own home he decides to get in touch with some old friends at the University of Pittsburgh. He is invited as a guest lecturer when when he runs into a particular man who catches his attention.

    After their encounter at the library, the two men keep running into each other. Seemingly tied by an invisible magnetic force.

    Or; After embarrassing himself in front of a hot older man, Dennis keeps running in to him. The med student tries his best to hide the fact that he's homeless, but the closer he gets to Michael Robinavich, the more difficult it becomes to keep up his facade.

    Summary

    Dennis doesn’t answer right away. He lets the silence stretch, just enough to feel natural, then shrugs. “I don’t usually keep inventory. I show up, I do my job, I go home.” A beat. “I sleep.”

    Robby glances at him, something unreadable flickering across his face, then looks back out at the bay. “Fair,” he says. “Still. Admin’s spooked. Someone’s been skimming small amounts for months. Careful enough that it took a while to show.”

    Dennis feels the familiar itch between his shoulders, the instinct to vanish, to pack up this name and this face and leave before curiosity sharpens into certainty. He stays. He always stays too long. “You think it’s staff?” he asks, voice steady.

    “I think,” Robby says slowly, “that whoever it is knows exactly how much they can take without killing anyone.” He turns then, really looks at Dennis. “Which means it’s probably someone who cares.”

    Summary

    Dennis learned early what it means to taste blood.
    Now, in his second year of residency, he has rules and a schedule. He drinks only when necessary. He saves lives during the day and makes sure he doesn’t take them at night. Stability. That’s the goal: Normalcy.
    Then there’s Dr. Robby.
    Wanting blood is instinct. Wanting his attending is something else entirely.

     

    -

     

    Or, Dennis just wants a normal life. Unfortunately, he’s undead, in love with his attending, and very bad at pretending he isn’t.
    What it means to want something gentle when you were made into something violent.

    Summary

    The stranger from the stairwell stops beside a bank of linen cabinets and folds his arms loosely across his chest.
    No, not a stairwell stranger, Dennis reminds himself. His attending.
    He opens his mouth. “Dr. Robby—”
    “You are a fourth-year medical student on rotation in my department,” Dr. Robby cuts off, “and what happened in the stairwell this morning does not change that.”
    Dennis swallows.

    Dennis Whitaker didn't need fate to tell him he was meant to be a doctor. He just really wasn't expecting his new attending on his very last rotation of medical school to say the words inked around his bicep.

    Or, a slow burn soulmate-identifying marks AU.
