Summary
Peter waits for the shock to wear off and the pain to kick in, touch already roving over his abdomen to find where the bullet must have entered. He comes up empty. From further back in the trauma room, Carol's voice suddenly emerges, thick with grief.
“Oh my god, Carter.”
He turns to look immediately, finding his former student standing in the spot he himself occupied just moments ago. The boy’s eyes are directed at his own abdomen, at the hands that clutch it before he pulls them away, stained with blood.
OR
A hostage situation on the hottest day of the year spirals out of control, and Carter's life hangs in the balance.

Summary
A juvenile presents to the Pitt with an infected laceration. When Robby goes to examine, he finds that it's not only infected, the leg is dead from the knee-down. He breaks the news to his religious mother, who takes out a gun and gives Dr. Robinavitch an ultimatum: either he fixes the leg without amputation, or he dies.
At home, Jack struggles with guilt after an argument with Robby the prior night. He doesn't have time to make a proper apology with their shifts, but at the very least, he can bring Robby lunch as a peace offering.

Summary
"I'm going to miss you, when you leave for your sabbatical."
That's what almost makes Robby break. He laughs softly, awkwardly. His face probably looks flushed. "Brother, I—"
Jack pulls him into a hug, without asking for permission. His face is flushed against Robby's shoulder, probably smushed uncomfortably against the strap of his bag. It takes Robby a moment to realize what is happening, but he hugs back, one hand on Jack's back. His black shirt is sweaty, his back wet and warm, but it only makes him feel more real, human, underneath Robby's hand.
It takes a lot of strength to actually pull back.
or a take on season 2 featuring: robby's real plans for his sabbatical, the donorcycle, an accident, and reaching out for help.

Summary
The pain is all in his head.
When John was in rehab, he heard the words so often they became a mantra, one that echoed in his mind from the moment he woke up to the moment he fell asleep. Slowly but surely, the nonexistence of pain became an internalised truth.
Except now he's sitting on a bench outside of the ER, curled into himself because he hurts, and for once, he can't be convinced that the pain exists only in his head. Something is wrong.
OR
Shortly after Carter arrives back to work from rehab, he starts to feel unwell. He knows he hasn't been using, but does everyone else?

“Dr Carter's… Dr Carter's been shot.”
Those are the words that crackle through County General's radio, but nobody truly believes them until the ambulance screeches to a halt outside the entrance, and Mark tugs open the passenger side door- only for Carter's unconscious body to list out, covered in blood from the neck down. Somebody sobs.
“I drove as fast as I could.” Zadro explains, stumbling over his words as the assembled team (Mark, Carol, Lydia, Malik) struggles to pull Carter onto a backboard. “Tried to put pressure on his neck but the blood just kept coming.”

Summary
Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"
"MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.
Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.
And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

Summary
Doctor McCoy sure as hell doesn’t compromise care, confidentiality, or his goddamn conscience for anyone. He has no problem with extracting a mind-controlling slug from Uhura's sinuses, performing a blood transfusion between a human and a sentient puddle, or administering therapy to a crew-wide hallucination of a god.
But catching feelings for Spock?
Now that’s just irresponsible.
And ultimately, it's all Jim’s fault.

Summary
Peter went a whole month without seeing John Carter, the severely accident prone 23-year-old who liked to talk to anyone he could. When Peter removed his sutures a month ago, the guy chatted away to him, the nurses, and the patient on the bed next to him. He constantly had something to say, and it drove Peter crazy. But a month had passed, and Peter almost forgot about his head lac (and black eye) patient until Lydia was handing him a chart.
"Chatty kid is back with a hand laceration in need of sutures." Peter opened the chart to see 'John Carter' and he sighed. He thought about handing the case off to Brown (who had not improved in the last month) but decided against it. Peter needed to practice his sutures anyway.

Summary
After losing a young boy, Robby can’t stop seeing his face and hearing his mother’s screams. Alone in the locker room shower and a scalpel in his hand, he makes a mistake—a cut too deep. Jack finds him and refuses to leave.
————————————
The blade glinted, the steely reflection pierced through the haze behind his eyes.
Just one small cut, he told himself. Just enough to make this stop.
He pressed the blade to his left forearm, below the elbow crease. The sting was bright and clean, so different from the dull ache in his chest. For one moment, the world was still, all the incoherent aches replaced by that sensation. Then—
Footsteps.
Robby flinched. His fingers slipped.

Summary
PLEASE READ THE TAGS.
Peter gets the call on a Thursday in late July, mid-shift. He’s on the next flight out of Chicago.
“Is this Doctor Peter Benton?”
“Speaking.”
“Hello, Doctor Benton. I’m calling from the Frederickson Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta. I have you listed as the emergency contact for John Carter?”
“What’s happened.”
“I’m afraid that a few hours ago, Doctor Carter was admitted to the hospital with some very serious injuries.”
“What kind of injuries, exactly?”
“Doctor Benton, he was bleeding significantly from his left arm and wrist. It appears… Well, it appears he made an attempt on his own life.”
Everything after that is a blur.

Summary
After centuries looking for his eternal warmth and giving up on it, Jack finally finds it, by accident.
Or Jack’s backstory and the story of how he ended up bonding with a human again despite his better judgment. But now Robby is his and he ain't ever going to share him or leave him.
Robby gasped, struggling to let Jack’s gift in, to let it settle and bind itself to him. Jack reached for Robby’s fingers and helped him through it. Letting his own stony body give the necessary instructions to Robby’s human form until everything receded back into order, rearranging itself in a series of precise, chaotic movements.
Robby breathed again and Jack could feel and appreciate the effects his essence had had on him. He could feel just how sturdier his lungs, heart, arteries, and veins were. He was satisfied that that heart would go on beating for a while longer. For long enough that, perhaps, they would have the time to bond both of their souls together, for all of Jack’s eternity.
Can be read as a standalone.

Summary
Without a single thought in his head except, No, except, Not him, Robby moves, tossing the clipboard aside and throwing himself in front of Jack. He doesn’t have any sort of plan, no idea of what he’s doing or why, really; if he did, he might have tried to position himself better, or hold something up, or— anything, anything at all instead of what he does, which is lunge forward in front of Jack and instantly feel the sensation of a tremendous force being punched through his left shoulder in the next beat of his heart.
“Michael!” he hears before there’s nothing but fuzzy static and this shrill roar that seems to echo through his whole skull. It’s shattered and strange, but he thinks it’s Jack’s voice.

Summary
His jaws are clenched tightly and his eyes are wild, glaring directly into the camera. He looks like a feral animal trapped off the street. The whites of his eyes seem to pulsate and glow around dark, dilated pupils.
Peter's breath catches in his throat. Even though it has been over a year since he last saw them, he could never forget those eyes.
Benton stares at the photograph in disbelief.
John Carter stares back.
---
John Carter has been missing for over a year. Peter Benton never stopped searching. When his former student finally returns, Benton must help him heal and unravel the truth behind his disappearance.
