Summary
“Tommy,” Sarah said patiently, “homosexuals can’t serve in the military. They’re not allowed. They might—” She paused and waved her hand absently between them, “—do things. Together. She looked at Tom seriously. “We all know you’re gonna get into the Academy. Can you imagine being close with all those guys and worrying one of them was hot for you?”
Ice learned how to hide the parts of himself that felt incompatible with his dream of serving in the Navy. Then he met Maverick.

Summary
The first year of Carter’s emergency medicine internship has been tough. He misses working with Benton more than he cares to admit, and he can’t quite figure out how Doctor Elizabeth Corday so effortlessly commands Benton's attention. When Corday offers Carter the incredible chance to present a case at a prestigious medical conference in London, it feels like everything might finally be coming together.
Spoiler alert: he never makes it to London.
OR
A devastating accident derails Carter's plans and his skills as a doctor are put to the test, but in the wreckage, he and Benton might find a way to start rebuilding what he so desperately misses.

Summary
All things considered, there are worse places to wake up than the floor of an exam room at County. Better places, too, but Carter learned by the end of his first ER rotation that a large part of being successful in emergency medicine is learning to work with what you actually have as opposed to what you wish you did.
For one thing, waking up on the floor of exam two in what Carter assumes is the middle of a shift means he's (1) waking up at all and (2) oriented to person and place. He's not so sure about the time element of it all, but two out of three ain't bad.

Summary
"John, hey. What's up, man?"
But it isn't Carter's voice that greets him on the other end of the line. "Hi, Dr. Benton. It's Chuny from County."
"Hi, Chuny," he replies, unease settling over him even as the memory of the nurse's contagious smile floods his mind. "What's going on?"
A beat. Chuny lowers her voice. "It was Carter's first day back."
Or, Carter's first day back at work after his transplant is a bit more challenging than he expected.

Summary
Gifting someone a stethoscope at a milestone was very traditional, he knew, but some traditions should be observed. They kept you anchored to something greater than yourself. And this one was just...warm. Jack always thought of the people who'd given him his steths—Colonel Jacquemin, who'd gifted him his first Littmann when he finished residency, or Lizzie, who'd given him his current Littmann III when Adamson hired him as an attending. It was a reminder of the people who loved you, believed in you, helped you along the way, a physical token of those you carried with you.
Sure, maybe it wasn't exactly Jack's place to give one to Robby, more properly the domain of family or mentors. If Adamson had lived to retire, he would've gifted Robby a steth to celebrate his promotion, Jack was sure. Robby's family was gone, so that wasn't an option, and Jack would be damned if Robby's elevation to one of the highest posts in their field would go uncelebrated.

Summary
Robby follows him as Jack starts working on the coffee, taking a seat at the peninsula that divides the kitchen from the rest of the apartment.
“You still like it burned or have you gotten better taste since last time?” he teases, throwing a quick glance at Robby, who makes a face at him.
They don’t do this often, crashing at each others’ places. Jack honestly can’t remember when exactly that last time was. Close to a year, he thinks, a Pirates game with a rain delay that then went into extra innings. It’s not that they don’t hang out when their schedules allow for it, it’s just that there’s always been more of a distance in their relationship outside work, like somehow the halls (and roof) of PTMC allow for more vulnerability than the halls of their own homes.
“At this point I'll take whatever you give me and I'll like it,” Robby says, definitely with a grimace this time.

OR, five times Jack comes home to Robby unexpectedly at his place, plus one.Bookmarked by Linderel
