I never got around to posting links to my stories individually on tumblr so I thought I might as well just round them up in a few posts for this blog, starting with this series.

Series: in the end, the ship sinks (#1)
Carter leans over her to push the door open, an action which causes him to brush up slightly against her. Lucy inhales. It’s just Carter. “We’ve made great progress,” he says, giving her shoulder a gentle nudge with his free hand to indicate she should go in ahead of him. She used to hate the way he did things like that, placing his hand on her shoulder to direct her this or that way through the ER, but recently she found that she had been starting to enjoy it.
Carter loses a bet, and Lucy makes him watch Titanic.

If he thought about the past month he wasn’t sure now what had possessed him to agree to that bet in the first place, or how he had blithely walked into her dorm room and even got onto her bed as if it wasn’t in hindsight obvious from the beginning how the evening would end. But she had been so excited to show him the movie, and he hadn’t wanted to disappoint her.
Carter changes his mind about Titanic.

Generally speaking, she was pretty sure this was largely out of her system now. Maybe that’s all they had ever really needed to do, just get it out of their systems, and things would be better between them. Normal, professional even. The way they should have been from the beginning.
Lucy has an unfortunate realisation about her relationship with Carter.

On occasion he would catch Mark watching them from across the ER, or Chuny would make a sly comment, and he would remember that all of this was still technically wrong, forbidden, against the rules—and, when it came down to it, he was taking advantage.
Carter tries, and fails, to do the right thing.

He closed his eyes and nodded. It was almost reassuring in a strange way to hear someone else say out loud all the things he had been going back and forth on since he and Lucy had started sleeping together, and even before that, since the incident in the radiology lab, since before even that probably.
Lucy and Carter get found out.
