    Summary

    Abbot is all restraint, all talk and no bite. Samira knows he's been flirting with her, because she'd discovered weeks ago she's been flirting right back.

    And if you think about it -

    Eight months is a long time with just her fingers.

    "Jack." Samira says and the reaction it elicits immediately sets her heart pounding. Dr. Abbot - Jack - inhales sharply, eyes widening. He takes a step forward, pure instinct driven, before stopping himself. And, oh. There's a power that she suddenly feels, coursing through her veins and setting her blood on fire.

    "Walk me home?"

    ***
    (pure smut loosely inspired by a tweet where someone said they want abbot to talk mohan through it.)

    Summary

    “Robby force you to take a break?” he asks when she’s close enough to not have to yell.

    “Yeah.”

    “Me too,” he huffs. “Like he’s my superior or something. Asshole.”

    Samira laughs, bending down to put her coffee down, balancing her sandwich on the lid, and then leans her forearms on the railing, far enough away to still be able to look at the side of his face, but close enough that she feels a little more confident she’ll be able to do something if he… Well. “Should you be sitting over there?” she asks, staring at the slight slope of his nose, the shadow of his eyelashes across on the top of his freckled cheekbone.

    “Probably not,” he answers in a casual tone. “At least I’m sitting.”

    That doesn’t comfort her very much, but she figures there’s no point in fighting him on it, so she turns and sits down with her back against the warm metal, mirroring him. “You want half of my sandwich?” she offers, twisting her upper body to hold it out to him.

    Summary

    Derek walked right into a cardboard cutout of a middle-aged man with skin almost as pale as Will but with dark brown hair and a beard to match. It almost toppled over with Derek following behind, but he caught himself and the cutout with minimal flailing. “Shit,” he cursed under his breath.

    “Nursey?”

    He was not prepared for the sight in front of him once he spun around.

    First, Derek had to get up at seven in the morning, then he drove for seven hours, with half an hour breaks every three hours. He was tired, he was hungry, and now this.


    Or: the one in which Derek Nurse drives up to Maine to visit Dex, Dex turns out to be full of surprises, and Chowder is in the prime spot to watch his best friends pine for each other in real time.

    Summary

    volta (n.) a turning point or point of change in a poem, most commonly a sonnet.

    *

    Derek watches as Dex’s eyes flick over the poem. He pushes back the dishevelled hair in his face like it’ll help him see clearer. He mouths the words as he goes, pauses, reads each line again. His fingers tap against the page in iambic pentameter. When he comes to the final line, his lips pull up into a barely there smile. “That in black ink my love may still shine bright,” he murmurs. “That is kinda nice.”

     

    (Or, five times a poem doesn’t reach its intended recipient, and one time it does; five drafts, and one work completed; five turning points, and one ending.)
