rpf is good because real life people are crazy insane and do and say crazy insane things and you dont get an explanation for why. they themselves probably dont know. it's amazing.

Doing research for the next Ghost of Chicago chapter
I took this scene from season 5 of ER where we see Carter sit at the riverside with a patient. This tells us that it must be pretty close to the hospital so I assume he might have come there more often:
Then I watched the entire length of this youtube video of someone walking the Riverwalk to find the same place and compare (I did this during linguistics class btw, I got bored):
I noticed the Trump tower that wasn't there before and used it as the trigger for Robby to recoil against the changes of the city. I also researched the Wrigley building (those facts are all true but it was sold in 2019).
I used the moment to deal with Benton's behaviour towards Carter, specifically his disapointement about Carter's relapse and his initial refusal to believe the others that Carter is an addict.
I am the biggest fan of Exodus so I had to reference it here, as it also fits the theme of Robby losing trust in his abilty and being reminded that he is capable.

Hear me out...... what if.... a character got hurt... and another character.... comforted them afterwards.....
Heeey, dude I love your "it was for freedom from myself and from the land" fic soooo much it brightness my day everytime you post. It's so well written, the ER references are perfect and and robby/jonh feels like such a complex character i can't help but want to learn more about him despite knowing most of his backstory. Love what you've changed from Robby's past although I confess I do miss Kem and his work in Congo buttt I see how it may not be what you are going for. Thank you soooo much for writing this and I look forward to the next chapters 🙂↕️💖
Thank you so much! I'm really happy that people love this story, it has become such a big part of my week working on the new chapter 💗
I totally understand the longing for Kem! This whole fic originated from the question what would have to happen for Carter to fully cut any contact with his own life and the answer I found was his relapse (and the whole backstory I created around it). Sadly, that deviates from ER canon after that moment and cuts off later storylines (even his connection to Abby and Luka).
I would have LOVED to go deeper on his unfulfilled wish for children and specifically the pain of losing his son! It would have added a whole new theme to explore and one that is super fascinating! Sadly, it doesn't really work in this universe.
Canonically, Robby has worked for MSF so in my mind he still went to Africa, but in different circumstances. I actually thought about that a lot in the chapter when he reveals his missing kidney. I came to the conclusion that in this world, he wouldn't have had the transplant and wouldn't have met Kem either. Sorry :((
I'm really happy that the story brings you joy anyway! We still have a way to go and I'm really excited for the next chapters...
