    Summary

    When Dennis Whitaker was left with no family, no money, and no way out, he turned to rodeos as a means to survive. For the last several years, he has worked his way up the ranks of professional bull riders, risking it all just for the fleeting chance at finding the stability he’s always longed for.
    When Dennis qualifies to enter the Challenger Series as a rookie, things seem like they may finally be looking up. This is his chance, a grueling tournament that will have him going head to head with seasoned riders and other hungry newcomers eager to earn their place on the national tour.

    Michael “Robby” Robinavitch has been practicing medicine for as long as he can remember. Burnt out and desperate for change, he left the hospital behind and found himself a member of the medical team traveling on the professional bull riding circuit.
    He’s seen it all— rides of a lifetime, devastating injuries, even death. He’s immune to it now, more or less. But things change when a new rookie catches his eye, a young man with a hunger that goes beyond a desire for fame and fortune.

    When their paths cross, and chemistry grows despite their best efforts, eight seconds could mean the difference between forever and never more.

    Summary

    A picture of Robby and Jack in the latest ACEP newsletter gets the whole Pitt talking -- and placing bets -- about their relationship. There's just one problem: Robby thinks that both he and Jack are straight.

    Over two weeks, Robby must own up to his feelings and decide what to do about it -- all while a crisis at the Pitt is brewing and he continues to navigate his own journey to healing.

    Slow burn; plot; dialogue heavy; smut appears in Chapter 7.

    Summary

    "I hate him."

    "You don't know him."

    "I know men like him, and therefore I hate him."

    "You hate change; there's a difference."

    "You and I both know he's going to come waltzing in here trying to change things that work perfectly well."

    We are pleased to announce that our new Chief Medical Officer will be Doctor Jack Abbot.

    ****

    Jack Abbot joins PTMC as their new CMO, and Robby refuses to like him. Except the more time Robby spends around Jack, the more he can't help but like it. Not that he'll make things easy on Jack. What would be the fun in that?

    Summary

    Jack Abott had met his match in Rebekah Robinavitch.
    Teachers quickly realized that pairing them together was the best way to solve that particular problem. So from freshman year on, the two were paired together for everything. Jack didn’t give a shit about the humanities or math. He only really liked science, especially the biology and chemistry units. He was fine at math, but it got boring quickly. Rebekah excelled in all of her classes, so that meant dragging Jack along with her. However, at any given point it looked like the pair were minutes away from killing each other.

     

    Or: the story of how Jack and Robby have been getting on each other's nerves and in love for a long, long time.

    Content Warning:
    For the first half or so Robby isn't out so he is referred to as Rebekah with she/her pronouns. There is also talk of domestic violence, drinking/smoking and suicide.
    Please take care of yourself.

     

    This is a stand-alone one-shot

    Summary

    Robby realises with a lurch of abject horror that there’s no recognition in Jack’s eyes. Zero. Jack is looking at him like they’re strangers.

    He had thought he’d been having a bad day before, but somehow, realising that the cause of his gay awakening doesn’t remember him is a whole new factor of awfulness. In a way, it’s nice to realise that there are still depths to his shitshow of a life that he hasn’t explored yet.

    Robby has his gay awakening at 24 with a guy who doesn't bother sticking around. Thirty years later, he's just finished saving a patient from a near-fatal GSW when he's dragged from work, shoved into a car and told that "the boss" wants to have a word. Robby doesn't expect this guy to be Jack. He doesn't expect to be offered a job working for the mob, either.
