    Summary

    He slows in the middle, he thinks, eyes following the current beneath him. He can see Liberty Bridge in the distance, downriver. The jump doesn’t look that high from here, with the distance, but it must be. High enough, at least. Christopher Sinclair was missing one of his shoes when EMS brought him in. Maybe it’s still floating down there, somewhere, or sunk to the bottom with the glasses Dennis's mind has convinced him that Christopher Sinclair had.

    There were nights that I thought about jumping off one of them.

    It’s Robby’s voice, pulled from the back of Dennis’s brain, clearer than any of the things actually happening around him. A walk after a bad shift. A view of the river, of the bridges lit up. And Robby, back early from his sabbatical with no warning, confessing to Dennis the thoughts that scare him most.

    Dennis blinks, and he’s across the bridge. He doesn’t look back.

    Dennis goes home to his family after a difficult shift.

    Summary

    5 times Robby catches Dennis on his ring camera, and 1 time he finally does something serious about it.

    OR

    Dennis is house-sitting for Robby while he's on sabbatical, and what follows is several months of increasingly questionable behaviour, long-distance yearning, and the slow realisation that some distances are a lot harder to maintain than others.

    Summary

    The conference itself would’ve been bad enough on its own. Three days in Virginia Beach with physicians from across the East Coast attending lectures and networking events and social hours that nobody actually wanted to participate in. But no, PTMC had also agreed to some commemorative panel recognizing the one-year anniversary of Pittfest.

    Meaning Robby somehow ended up scheduled the next day to accept a departmental honor recognizing “exceptional leadership and emergency response coordination during mass casualty management.” There would apparently also be a plaque. A shiny new plaque to hang in the ED. Because nothing helped process collective trauma like polished wood and engraved brass.

    Or, Robby is selected to sit on a conference panel commemorating Pittfest and accept an award on behalf of PTMC. (Inspired by the photo of Noah Wyle looking *lovingly* at a picture of Gerran/Dennis)

    Summary

    "You want me to go?"

    That's the last thing Jack wants. "Stay, please, you know you're always welcome."

    Robby relaxes, and he carries on stirring

    Jack interrupts the quiet once more with the other question that's been on the tip of his tongue.

    "Why haven't you left?"

    Robby freezes. He doesn't turn around, doesn't look at Jack, like it's easier to be honest this way.

    "Because I think if I go, I won't come back."

    ******

    After the end of 2x15. Robby turns up at Jack's house instead of going on his sabbatical and then just....doesn't leave
