A painting inspired by the beautiful story, Okukweka N'Okunoonya by Project7723 (@2nd-massachusetts)
Carter doesn't stir even as Peter skids to a halt at his side and rolls him over, catching him up against him, sweeping the soaked hair from his pale forehead and tapping his face, yelling in it. His eyes are half-lidded and motionless, lifeless as marbles. Were it not for the strong and steady throb of the boy's carotid pulse where Peter's thumb rests, he would fear him dead. When Peter shakes him gently—instinct; he catches himself nearly as soon as he starts—Carter's lids finally slide fully shut and a stone sinks slow and heavy in Peter's gut.

It’s that time again! Welcome to the new County General discord summer challenge. Theme is…
NATURAL DISASTER
Here are your prompts. Rules and guidelines will be under the cut.
County General is no stranger to disaster but this time, the forces of nature conspire against them!
THE CHALLENGE
Create a work of writing/art/etc. about our intrepid heroes facing a natural disaster — literally, metaphorically, psychologically! However you interpret that is up to you.
These prompts are meant to inspire your imagination, but in no way should you feel restricted by them. If you wanna write about a volcano, then by all means— LET US SEE THAT PYROCLASTIC FLOW!
Challenge Open: NOW
Deadline: August 31, 11:59 PST
We welcome all ratings and pairings.
Additionally, we recognise that ER contains many mature and difficult themes, so please be sure to tag your works responsibly (I'm looking at you Secrets & Lies related fics!)
WHAT’S EXPECTED OF ME AS A PARTICIPANT?
All written pieces must be a minimum of 500 words, and must be complete (in the case of one shots) or have a minimum of one chapter completed (for multi-chapter fics) by August 31 2026.
There will be an open but hidden collection on AO3 (updated later) for you to submit your fic to. The collection will be revealed on September 1 2026.
If you are making art, you are more than welcome to make it a work on AO3, but please do not post your art on tumblr until the collection is revealed. Be sure to tag it #County General Natural Disaster Challenge on tumblr so we can all find it, and reblog.
“Season one, you're watching a guy who's drowning that doesn't know he's drowning. Season two, you're watching a guy who knows he's drowning, but does not want to accept a life preserver. So, who actually has convinced himself that it might be easier to drown. And yet, as the shift goes on, the idea of leaving all of his fellow shipmates stranded or in an environment that's not set up for success is increasingly difficult for him, as is the decision to leave.
So, structurally, it's really about coming in with one resolute idea, which is, I'm excited to go on the sabbatical, and this is my last day, and I can't wait to get out of here. And then as the day goes on, you just start to chip away at that resolve and show that the more, the closer you get to the door, the closer you're coming to face your own mortality. And as people get more and more desperate, they get less and less graceful. So I wanted his behavior to seem a bit more erratic, sometimes volatile, sometimes petty, sometimes mean, sometimes challenging, but very out of character for him, where you could reverse engineer all of that pathology and go, oh, look at that.
He didn't know how to ask for help, but he's screaming, somebody stop me. Somebody ask me about my behavior. Somebody put me on a hold, you know. And then ultimately, you know, everybody tries. Langdon tries, Abbot tries, Dana tries, and they do begin to kind of, I think, get through to him that this is a community of people that really have a vested interest in him staying alive and being part of this community.
And then what we've been sort of building to, I'm not being very articulate about this, is that the original wound that we've shown in season one, this loss of mentor that died during Covid, that was the catalyst for his breakdown, was not the original wound. He's predisposed to abandonment because of how he was wired young and went into this line of work because he wanted to save people he couldn't save.
And so here you are in the room where you lost your mentor, where you lost your son's girlfriend, and you're holding another abandoned innocent who's about to face a very similar road that you faced. And in that, what is your advice to this innocent? That they should get a motorcycle and not a helmet, or hang on, there's gonna be some beautiful things to see and some things worth hanging around for.”

(This being my list, there's a decided skew toward gen/found family and h/c, but please feel free to reblog with favorites of your own! I am constantly on the hunt for more.)
@backonmybullsht:
What Is and What Should Never Be
What if Tom didn't stay so calm when Pope and the Berserkers kidnapped him in 2x03, Compass?
@whumpetywhumpwhump (maisiec33):
and i blink in sight of your blinding light
Tom gets injured and is predictably stubborn about admitting it.
is that a cry i hear from the dark wood?
In the midst of a battle, it becomes evident that the bug Anne removed from Tom's eye wasn't working alone.
in the morning it won't matter
S3 E5, 'Search and Recover', except Tom got injured in the plane crash and Pope is left to pick up the pieces.
Ailren:
Hysteria
Even after escaping, Tom can't be sure that being reunited with his sons isn't just another hopeful dream. (Season 2)
TimesBeingWhatTheyAre:
someday, things will get better
Tom is so tired, these days. (Missing scene from 1x03.)
Bravery (in every step you take)
A closer look at the scene at the end of s1e10, when the skitters come for Tom.
Soft animal warmth of your body
Tom walks down the road, picking through the rubble of his old neighbourhood, and every step is another one further from Rebecca.
Out of Sync
Tom and Red Eye are stuck in a cave together, and Tom isn't handling it as well as he'd like.
@jermapridelesbian (sartiebodyshots)
Rite of Passage
Ben is six years old when he realizes that parents need to be taken care of, too.
Swallowed in the Sea
Ben meets Red Eye for the first time and sees things through his eyes.
@shollander-rozanov (sunsetcherry)
i need you to stay (just for a little bit longer)
It was ten months after they had liberated earth from the Espheni when Tom felt like something was off. It had just started with headaches. Piercing one's that would last for only a few hours and then disappear like it never existed.
Mine (Project7723):
An Honest Song From the Mouth of a Liar
In which Tom takes a punishment intended for Pope, and Pope has a crisis of morality.
A Human Thing
In which Tom is hurt and Cochise ponders the paradox that is the frailty of the human body and the impudent strength of its spirit.
Atlas Stumbled
If Tom Mason must hold up the world, Dan Weaver is going to hold up Tom Mason. Set early in season three.
Honey, Lay Your Head Down
Pre-series. Tom gets sick at work, Rebecca looks after him.
Simulacra
Tom escapes yet another round of captivity aboard an Espheni ship and struggles to separate illusion from reality.
Bright Morning Stars
Anne wakes to a brave new world and a catatonic husband. (5x10 tag)
Where On the Deck My Captain Lies
In which someone tries to assassinate the president. (Season 3)
The Rockets' Red Glare
Post-series. Someone really should have predicted the potential dangers of a fireworks show when half the population is still desperately shell-shocked.
In Terrible Times
Rebecca has been in remission for just shy of six months when Tom's headaches begin. So soon after her own battle with cancer, she fears the worst. (Part I)
The Hollow She Left
A few months into the occupation, Tom runs out of his medication. (Part II)
No, because my dumb ass took years to realise Noah Wyle was in both ER and Falling Skies. I legit didn't realise it was the same person. It only clicked after The Pitt came out.

Genres | Action/Adventure, Season 15, Hurt/Comfort, Angst
Characters | John Carter, Peter Benton
Chapters | 4/?
Summary:
The nurse rests back against the wall and slides to the floor, her chest heaving. When she turns her ghostly white face up to Peter, his stomach drops.
This is no petty personal drama.
“They have guns,” she whispers.
Time seems to stop even as the elevator rumbles with the promise of motion.
“Who has guns?” Peter's voice sounds very far away over the high-pitched hum of dread in his ears.
She sobs. Takes a deep breath. Swallows and points at the door. “There are guys out there. They have guns. They're—they're—they're taking hostages.”
Peter's eyes flick once more to the number over the door just before the car starts to descend.
Eleven.
For a moment he stands there dumbly, abruptly lightheaded.
Carter is on the eleventh floor.
Or, the day after Carter's transplant in 15x19, there is a crisis at Northwestern Memorial. Written for BTHB square "revenge by proxy."
