I always want you when I'm finally fine | the pitt fic [ao3]

[8,3k, post s1 Frank Langdon/John Shen, sequel to I bet on losing dogs]

He and Shen have been together for a few months, and things are looking well. He's going to meetings, working the night shift and finally seeing a bit of sense in meeting with his therapist every goddamn week. But the thing about clarity? It comes with a price, like realizing he still had one loose end left to tie up: Robby.

I bet on losing dogs | the pitt fic [ao3]

[7.4k, Frank Langdoon/John Shen, post-s1 angst and hurt/comfort]

Months after coming back from rehab, Frank finds that sobriety is the easy part - it's the whispers, the sideways glances, and the suffocating silence from people who once called him a friend that make every shift feel like a trial. He takes on night shifts in the hope that they might offer some kind of mercy. But the hospital doesn’t sleep, and neither does his mind. Shen notices - and more importantly, he stays.

insult to injury | the pitt fic [ao3]

[2,5k one shot, trans!Langdon, an alternative version of the locker room scene from 1x10]

"Open your locker." "You're gonna regret-" Robby’s hand slammed into the locker with a deafening bang, cutting him off. "Open your fucking locker or I will have security smash it open."

with special thanks to @helleboretea for coming up with this idea <3

I think I'd like to know more about Frank's Bad Pain Day. I think I've seen you mention that he didn't want to ruin his and John's plans, so he tried to hide it? But eventually John finds out, doesn't he? How does that happen? Or. Anything else about this fic, pleeese. :)

Thanks for the ask, es ;)

This fic is a mashup of two things I've really been wanting to write lately - Frank and Mel (and Shen) going to the Ren Fair together and the kind of low-stakes whumpy one-shots I've had so much fun writing last year. I do consider it something of a warmup piece (as I've had a bit *ekhm months* of a break from writing and want to get back to it.

I don't want to reveal too much, just to keep you on your toes :) but yes, Frank will definitely try to hide it, and Shen will have none of it. Will they go? Will they not go? We'll see. For now, have a snippet:

“Ye doubt me, do ye? A tragic lack of vision, Mr. Frank.” “No,” he said, trying not to smile. “No, we’re not doing this.” Shen turned toward him, fully committed now. “I’ve sailed the seven seas, and yet I’ve never encountered such disrespect.” “You live in Pittsburgh.” “Aye, a cruel and unforgiving port.” Frank pressed his lips together, trying, failing, and rather miserably. not to laugh. “If you start saying ‘aye’ in public, I’m leaving you there.” “Mutiny already?” Shen said, mock-offended. “And we haven’t even set sail.”

GIMME #1 FROM THE WIP GAME RIGHT MEOW (hi it’s captainscurvy)

hiii yes, I remember the plethora of side blogs you've got :D

With #1, a lot of things are still up in the air. Originally, I planned for it to be multichapter, with a similar structure to "touch and go" (multiple POVs, sequential, etc.), but I don't want to overcommit. So it might end up being a long one-shot. Idk :D Here's a snippet:

“We totally would’ve dated in high school.” Frank snorted. “No, we wouldn’t.” “Come on,” Shen nudged his shoulder. “A jock and a nerd? Written in the stars.” “I wasn’t a jock.” Shen gave him a look. “You were absolutely a jock.” “No,” Frank shook his head, a faint smile tugging at his mouth. “Not until senior year. at least” “Alright,” Shen said, shifting a little so he was half-facing him. “Let me set the scene. You grew up in the suburbs, right?” Frank huffed. “My high school wasn’t exactly a great setting for a two-guy meet-cute, if that’s what you’re going for. Maybe yours was better. Blue state and all that.” “Mm, clearly,” Shen said, a hint of a grin returning. “You would've loved it there. Especially our football team. Best thing that ever happened to Russel.” Frank let out a quiet laugh, but it faltered almost immediately, something in the name catching. “…Russel?” Shen hummed, not quite noticing the shift yet. Frank’s brow furrowed as he turned it over. “Wait. Russel High?” Another small nod. “That was-” he hesitated, searching for the year, for the headline he half-remembered. “Wasn’t there a shooting there? Around 2012? 2013?” The air changed. "There was," Shen finally said. "In March 2012."

if my engine works perfect on empty, I guess I'll drive | the pitt fic [ao3]

[one shot, 2.6k, Frank Langdon hurt/comfort]

He was just tired - nothing more. Or at least that’s what Frank had been telling himself for the first week. When the exhaustion lingered into the second, he knew he should’ve started worrying. By the third, he promised himself he’d finally make an appointment on his day off. But then Collins called in sick, and now he had one more shift to push through. After that, he'd get this sorted.

So I bet all I have on that | the pitt fic [ao3]

[12.2k, Frank Langdon/John Shen, tooth rotting fluff]

Some people say life begins after residency. Frank used to roll his eyes at that - his life was in full swing long before he matched EM at PTMC. He couldn't know that everything would crush and burn by the time he was an R4. But he made it, rebuilding his life, his relationships, his career, piece by piece. The day he got the attending position was the day he started feeling truly tethered. He had Shen to thank for that.
