In the roommate AU, Yolanda starts taking Mel to her poledance studio with her, and signs her up for a beginner course. It starts very unglamorous with strength building exercises, but soon enough Mel gets a good grip on the basics and starts working on fluid motions and small choreographies and when she starts bringing videos home… well that’s approximately the time in which Frank starts realising that he’s in trouble.

Because he’s seen Yoyo dance and yeah, he has eyes, it’s very aesthetically pleasing, but that’s his friend and mostly he’s just amazed at the stuff she can do while hanging upside down.

Mel though… he’s so fucked.

Frank and Yolanda are trading banter during an emergency, and Frank just needs her to back off for another minute while he tries something before they can proceed with what she'd like to try instead, and says:

"Yoyo, don't make me invoke my favourite Australian electronic dance music duo."

Yolanda huffs but leaves him to it, this joke isn't unfamiliar to her, while everyone else is either not paying attention or kind of confused.

That is until Whitaker sprouts out his eureka moment proudly. "Yolanda be cool!"

"Imagining your spotify wrapped gives me nightmares," Yoyo tells him.

Mel gets a concussion from a patient sometime between S2 and S3, and this time Frank's exam actually comes back abnormal and he waves in Dr. Al-Hashimi who decides, "No we're not playing, I agree with Dr. Langdon, you need a head CT." Trinity has been hovering in the room as well, because this is now her circus and her monkeys.

When Dr. Al-Hashimi asks if one of them could take Mel upstairs for a CT, Frank and Trinity both volunteer in a heartbeat.

"Patient's choice," Dr. Al-Hashimi decides.

And Mel chooses Trinity. Frank and his big eyes barely manage to mask the hurt in time, because this isn't about him, this is about Mel. Still it aches and the ache percolates all day. Mel ends up getting sent home and he decides not to be a big baby and texts her at night, asking if he can bring her dinner. It's not until way later when they're eating at her kitchen table that he asks why she didn't want him to take her.

Mel shakes her head, winces immediately, then just tilts it, confused. "We're understaffed every day. I can't take a senior resident away from the ED on top of everything."

"This was just about seniority?"

"Obviously. Frank, if I could have you around me all the time, I would, but I can't hog you like that."

"Oh... yeah, no ... that makes sense." And never has there been a man more pleased with his situation than Frank is in that moment. "You could though. Have me around all the time, I mean."

Mel and Frank accidentally moving in together around January between S1 and S2, because Mel’s short-term lease that she jumped on to get her and Becca settled in Pittsburgh quickly is up, and Becca is spending all her time at Middle Hill, so Mel wants to downsize and get a roommate to save money, and Frank got kicked out.

They apply for the place, separately, the landlord approves them for one of the rooms each, and they get their move-in date and show up with their stuff. Frank’s back is already killing him from loading his belongings into his car, and he’s sweating profusely, smile painful when he unlocks the door to find his roommate’s boxes are already there.

“Hello, hey, it’s Frank. I’m your new roommate,” he calls into the apartment.

There’s a crash in the distance and a disbelieving “Dr. Langdon?!”

Oh imagine Frank only actually brings up a small carry-on suitcase cause he can’t face carrying anything else that day and he can live out of that for a couple of days while he’s in bed trying to recover from moving things out of the house and into the car.

So Mel learns about his debilitating back pain that very first day and maybe he just takes the opportunity to come clean about everything.

In which Mel has a friend and Frank isn’t alone in his head for ten months, and they fall in love so easily.

I really may need to write this.

With rumours flying around that maybe Abby Langdon has been cast for S3, I’ll put this out there now: Whoever she is (if true), we need to protect this woman with our lives! Getting cast as the character standing between a popular ship has historically gone very poorly in some fandoms and that’s not going to be our fandom.

Every week before the drug test (which is always randomly announced on the day), Frank is sweating buckets because he’s terrified of false positives. He won’t go near anything with poppyseeds and he’s hypervigilant about having any med changes from his GP documented on hospital records.

So he finds himself bracing every week until the day, and then bracing again until the next day, which would be when he presumes someone would find him if there was an issue.

After him and Mel start seeing each other, she asks what’s on his mind when he just kind of goes into a very braced and stressed stand-by mode, and he reluctantly admits that he maybe has two or so good days per week where he doesn’t actively stress about this. The prospect of another 4+ years of this is daunting, but that’s his life. He ends it with a defeated “I get if this is too much” like Mel’s only concern isn’t his wellbeing. Mel ends up buying a stash of cheaper over-the-counter tests for home, just so if the anxiety gets too high he can do a test-test to see if it all comes back clean.

It helps. It helps a lot. So does being able to just voice the fear to someone who will actually reassure him.

RULES FOR DATING MY DAUGHTER:

my daughter cannot, through action or inaction, harm a human or allow a human to come to harm

a daughter at rest or in constant motion remains at rest or in constant motion unless acted upon by another force

daughters are never created or destroyed, only transformed

always treat every daughter as loaded, even if you know she isn't

you do not talk about my daughter

abalidoth

6. If x and y are my daughters, then there exists a set that has x and y as elements.

7. You can fold my daughter through any two points.

8. I have exactly one daughter parallel to a given line passing through a given point.

inthefallofasparrow

9. If my daughter is hung on the wall in the first act, then in the following one she must be fired. Otherwise don't put her there.

10. When two or more daughters are offered for a phenomenon, the simplest daughter is preferable.

11. Any sufficiently advanced daughter is indistinguishable from magic.

12. Without a clear indicator of intent, it is utterly impossible to parody my daughter without someone mistaking it for the genuine article.

13. My daughter is nine-tenths of the law.

charlesoberonn

14. Anything my daughter can do wrong, she will do wrong

15. You do not talk about my daughter

16. The number of my daughters that can fit on a microchip doubles every 18 months

thewelllitweenie

17. Never attribute malice to my daughter which can be equally be attributed to ignorance.

18. The human whose name is written on my daughter shall die

Outsider POV fic in which Frank, during his weekly drug tests, starts oversharing to Lab Tech Montgomery Smith about his life.

The whole sample taking process is not that long, but it’s a way of dissociating from the permanent humiliation of how closely he has to be monitored during the process.

Smith is the first person in the hospital to know Frank is divorced, and where he’s looking at apartments and that he ended up moving in with an old friend on the OR team. And he’s tried to not engage with Frank more than he has to as per protocol, he’s not meant to be chummy but he can’t help but comment “you look happy” one day.

And so he’s the first to know that there’s a woman at the hospital who Frank didn’t think was into him like that, but that day it sounded like maybe they were going on a date, and Frank is so excited.
