  2. Summary

    In 2004, Thomas Nightingale and Abdul Haqq Walid signed an agreement. It's a bit like that civil partnership thing the Master of the Folly somehow knows nothing about - except, you know. Magicky.

    UPDATE 11/28/17 : I have re-ordered the series so that it is vaguely chronological, which should make reading the "the Faceless Man is a dick" arc in particular easier to read.

    Summary

    Delusional, this entire thing. Like some Make-A-Wish dream. I'm going to kill myself tomorrow; here's what I'd like for my last day on this mortal plane. To be fucked by a man who hasn't seen him that way in years. To stand in the shower and have someone wash his hair. To eat one last breakfast. To be held. And Jack, pitying him, still, because Robby's always been the one of the two of them who can't handle shit.

    Summary

    Jack Abbot doesn't play golf. He's told his therapist this. His therapist remains unconvinced that joining a SWAT team is an adequate alternative.

    Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi — new attending, Kabul MSF, the most composed person in a room that is currently on fire in several different ways.

    She mentions Dasht-e-Barchi almost carefully, like testing the weight of it on her tongue. The most incredible, bravest doctors. He says the word tragedy and looks away, because there isn't another word and they both know it. The silence between them is the kind that doesn't need filling.

    We should grab a beer sometime, he says. Share war stories.

    She says she'd like that, and means it, and walks away with something that is almost a smile.

    Across the trauma room, Robby looks up from his charting and raises an eyebrow at nobody in particular.

    She seems cool, Abbot says.

    Yeah maybe, Robby says, eyes already dropping back to the screen. Not gonna be around long enough to find out.

    Jack watches him for a moment. Says nothing.

    A few days after the chaos of the 4th of July, they finally grab that beer.

    Summary

    "Congrats again on the award; you deserve it." And with that, she disappeared into the crowd.

    Probably off to go plan how to hit on Jack. Jack, who this random doctor wanted to have sex with. Here. At the conference.

    Intellectually, Robby knew that was what people did at these things. Drunken hookups at conferences were common, though often denied, if not regretted. Robby had never partaken because that was not his speed, but Jack—

    Well, Jack had no such qualms. And at an ED medical conference, he was basically a rockstar. He could probably have anyone he wanted.
