  3. Summary

    Do tortured souls deserve to be cared for, after a life in shadows. An afterlife in the spotlight.
    But does anyone understand? Does anyone think that perhaps Alastor deserves to be cared for.

    He doesn’t think so, it’s safer if no one gets close. It’s safer for everyone involved.

    Summary

    “There were stems on the chest X-Ray.” She handed over her tablet for him to examine, and his fingers visibly tightened around the edges of the screen. “No petals yet, but there was an article in The Lancet last month about delayed blooming in patients with clinical depression. Sats are down to 92 and dropping.”

    “Jesus fucking Christ.” Robby wiped his hands over his face and clasped them around the back of his neck. “Do you know how long it’s been since I saw a case of Hanahaki come through here?”

    Summary

    "I had a dream," Robby says. "About you."

    "Should I be worried?" Dennis aims for levity, lands somewhere closer to anticipation.

    "You were—" Robby pauses, brow furrowing as he searches for the words. Trying to translate something felt—dreamed—into something spoken. "You were somewhere cold. Under a bridge. And I found you. But you didn't know me yet."

    Dennis feels something shiver down his spine. "That doesn't sound like a dream. That sounds like a nightmare."

    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. Robinovitch.
    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

    “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

    "“No, wait, fuck that,” Beauregard says. “Let me see if I understand. You two had a weird emotional thing in high school where you held hands way too much―”

    “We also kissed.”

    “What the fuck.” She doesn’t let him answer. “And then you didn’t see each other for some years, and then you saw each other during Christmas and said ‘we can keep fucking, no strings attached, but let’s put our Christmas lights together in a box, I’m sure they won’t get tangled together’. And so you two kept fucking, but only during the holidays."

    Essek takes another sip of his shot glass of wine. “Essentially.”"

     

    Maybe visiting his old town is only an excuse Essek uses to see Caleb.
