    Summary

    “Wait,” Trin said slowly. “Wait a fucking minute.”

    Mel looked between them, baffled. “Are you playing house with Zaddy Night Shift?” Trinity said, glee breaking across her face.

    “Who is Zaddy Night Shift?” Mel asked, at least two decibels louder than the entire previous conversation. Princess started walking over. Samira put her face in her hands. “I am Zaddy Night Shift,” Dr. Ellis said, breezing by. “And I don’t play house. I provide a loving home for the right woman.”

    “My heart belongs to another, king.” Trinity said absently. Mel looked at her in confusion. “Not you, Melancholy.”

    “I do not understand what’s happening.” Mel announced cheerfully.

    Summary

    A full smile blooms on Abbot’s face. “Dr Mohan, you have your own go-bag?!” He looks absolutely delighted as she rolls her eyes and reaches down to her backpack, fighting her own smile.

    “You don’t get the goods if you make fun of me, Dr Abbot.”

    His right hand moves from his leg to rest over his heart. His eyes dance at her as his features slip into a farcical mask of shock.

    “Hey hey, woah woah, this is awe I’m giving you, baby.”

    --

    Jack and Samira become friends. It's totally fine.

    (The Bench, and beyond.)

    Summary

    Jack and Samira encounter each other at a conference and decide to extend their trips.

    There's an art festival going on, after all, and an inn with one room still available. It's the honeymoon suite; that's fine.

    The weekend doesn't have to end just yet.

    Summary

    Ex Mormon Dennis Whitaker, folks. ft a lot of mental breakdowns. author is lowk working through trauma with this one (I am exmo)

    Title and chapter headings from We'll Never Have Sex by Leith Ross <3

    (His desire for human contact was embarrassingly innocent. A hand squeezing his shoulder, the nape of his neck, petting through his hair. Sometimes, laid down at night, alone, he would pet himself like that. Rub his scalp, pretend it was someone else's hands. If it was someone else, who would it be? Would they whisper sweet things to him?

    Now, he imagined it to be Dr Robby. As humiliating as that is, he can't help himself. Dr Robby gave him something to work with— he squeezes his own shoulder, pressing his thumb into that bit of skin Dr Robby had touched. Dr Robby's hands are bigger, warmer, but Dennis makes do.)
