Summary
It's funny how music, how lyrics, can rewind time, bring people back to places they once lived. Will hadn’t considered much about music until he became friends and then something more with a musician. He lets his eyes slipped closed, and once he does, he’s no longer in their shared flat.
a songfic based on labi siffre's crying, laughing, loving, lying, and how each of those verses interplay with a different event in their relationship.
also, it's james' birthday, and will's flight home is seemingly delayed.

Summary
This is what felt right. Never slowing down, always pushing forward, always aiming for the highest standard. That’s what retained an audience, that’s what paid his rent. Will couldn’t deny that he enjoyed his routine.
But when exhaustion settled in his bones like it had signed a lease, and his shoulders carried a weight that didn’t leave even when he lay in bed at night, it was harder to hide.
or, will stresses and james talks in his sleep.

Summary
“How do you write to your friend?” Becca asks. “Do you text him?”
“No, we email.”
“Cool,” Becca says, smiling. “Can I read one?”
“No!” Mel says a little too quickly, and Becca looks up in surprise.
“Why?”
“Because it’s private,” Mel insists. “I don’t look at your messages to Adam.”
“But Adam’s my boyfriend,” Becca says. And then she gasps excitedly. “Is he your boyfriend?”
Mel starts a low-stakes and casual friendship over email. Of course, things get complicated.

It starts like this:

Summary
The PTMC'S new penpal scheme aims to encourage friendships throughout the hospital by fostering anonymous connections proving that you can connect without the necessity of knowing each other personally.
Mel King knows 3 things:
1. She has a teensy tiny little crush on Frank Langdon, who wouldn't? (even if she'd only known him a day)
2. She wants more friends.
3. The PTMC penpal scheme is the perfect way to make a new friend, without the usual social pressures.Frank Langdon, also knows 3 things:
1. He has thought about Mel King an awful lot these past 10 months for someone he'd met once.
2. He doesn't want to participate in the PTMC's penpal scheme right now, it's the least of his worries.
3. He's going to have to do it anyway.What could possibly go wrong? :)

Summary
“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.- Language:

Summary
This was not the face of a bad morning.
Something, or someone, had completely smothered Mel's spark.
All of Frank’s priorities reshuffled in an instant. Everyone in this hospital was an idiot if they didn't realize how great of a doctor she was, and how vital it was to keep her from burning out.
Frank attempted a smile. He waved, bracelet rustling on his wrist, feet glued to his spot across the room.
Mel removed a hand from her pocket to wave back at him, cocking her head to the side and squinting, as if he was a mirage in the desert.
No broad smile, and certainly not an ecstatic “You're here!” like last time, something he'd secretly craved. But it was something. Acknowledgement that she didn't hate him, at least.
