You stole my cart - Master post (1)
Welcome to my series master list!
This is an ongoing Jack Abbot x reader / Jack Abbot x you fanfiction. So new chapters will be added as we go.
I can't add any more links to this post (apparently there's a link limit and I had no idea). So this is part 1 of my series master list - you'll find part 2 at the bottom.
If you ever have ideas, thoughts or something you'd love to see, feel free to drop me a message or an ask. I can't promise anything, but I'll definitely see what I can do.
Content warnings: some angst, some fluff, unplanned pregnancy and relationship trouble - because we like to suffer a little before things get better
Summary: When you went grocery shopping you didn't expect to come home with the number of a very handsome ED doctor

All you wanted was clarity. Instead it became an inside-joke - and the start of your favourite little game.

You just came to pick your boyfriend up for breakfast after his shift. Instead you accidentally became the main attraction of the entire emergency department.
--- --- ---

You can take the doctor ouf of the hospital but you can't take the hospital out of him.

Interlude I
The next three chapters will be a little different in style. I wanted to show a bit of Jack’s side of the story, and there’s probably no better way to do that than through his therapy sessions.

Tell me about it (The Jack Sessions - Part II)
Tell me about it (The Jack Sessions - Part III)
