- Neil is a wanderer in his own right, both he and Wanda have lived aimlessly and without a strong sense of person up until the events of their books

- Ian and Kyle aren’t technically twins but they look similar (except for a more frequently broken nose) and sound the same enough to be mistaken when they take on a different tone. So boom, Andrew and Aaron

- they literally live in a den! Call Jeb’s caves The Foxhole, my god this writes itself

- “Hope was a dangerous, disquieting thing, but he thought perhaps he liked it.” from Neil and “Hope was a silly thing in my situation, but it seeped into me anyway, coloring my perceptions more brightly than before.” from Wanda

So it can't just be like oh you're born a mermaid or not. And to get the Twilight ~feel Adrian (Edward) has to angst about being a mermaid. Which on the surface is kind of like, lol, but then you remember Edward angsted about sparkling so it's totally in character.

Are they just like, underwater vampires? With virtually the same mechanics? They drink blood but the Corals (Cullens) opt for marine animal blood vs other mermaids who lure people to sea and pull them under to feed on them? Caspian (Carlisle) saving drowning people rather than eating them by turning them into mermaids . . . how? Is the transformation also via bite? Or is it something else? A underwater 'kiss' given to the drowning? Mabye lungs have to be filled with water for it to work, hence the risk and the "no Ella I cannot risk it going wrong, it's harder than you think" blah blah blha.

And oh, oh, oh!! It's reverse Twilight in that they can't go out on RAINY days because the rain would reveal their merfolk nature! Maybe not full-on tails-in-the-rain because the secret would be out by now but instead of sparkling like scales appear on their skin when it gets wet? So they for sure don't live in Forks, but it does need to be somewhere coastal. Just less rainy.

he wouldn’t balance or sit on his knees.

at home, he would probably be on crutches ESPECIALLY if he’s just woken up.

most amputees, from my understanding, wear their prosthetics as little as possible unless they’re out of the house.

also with that said, he’s probably not fucking you or robby or dennis or wherever with it on either. it’d be uncomfortable and inconvenient for him.

he has a shower chair! (thank you for this one @mixedfandomfics )

jack is disabled, don’t erase that part of him. if you’re uncomfortable with that, ask yourself why.

if it’s because you don’t know enough about it, ask questions and do your research. any other reason? maybe do some inner work.

"baby i walk like that because i have one leg."

Which of course makes Whitaker's secret little crush on him even more humiliating, watching him flirt with literally everyone… well, everyone except Dennis.

No, he barely even bothers acknowledging Dennis, at most says his name in passing to direct him to a case. He can barely even look Dennis in the eyes, and when Dennis does catch Jack looking at him, it’s to find the attending glaring at him from across the hub.

And Dennis is half convinced Jack hates him with how he clams up whenever they end up in the same orbit as each other. The man barely manages to string together more than two words to make jilted small talk.

So yeah, Dennis wonders if it’s a one sided rivalry over Robby warming up to Dennis so fast. If Jack feels like Dennis is somehow getting in the way of their friendship.

And he hates it, because he just… doesn’t understand what he did to make Jack dislike him so much. Jack gets along so easily with everyone else, fuck he flirts with anyone with a pulse.

Of course what Whitaker doesn’t know is that Abbot has a MASSIVE fucking crush on him, and he literally cannot make his brain work around the boy. Like Jack’s brain just goes on an endless loop babbling about how pretty and talented Dennis is whenever he gets within five feet of the suntanned farm boy.

jack didn’t get what was so special about the kid.

robby nearly waxed poetic about him. dennis did a perfect closed reduction today! dennis deescalated a fist fight! dennis just said something so funny!

whitaker was a regular intern. he wasn’t even that fucking brilliant.

santos had more guts. samira had better patient satisfaction scores. nazely had some of the sharpest eyes jack had ever had the privilege to work with. what the fuck did dennis have? an occasionally comforting demeanor? robby’s favor?

dennis was on nights for the next three weeks. jack was fine with it. jack was fine, he swore. he just…wasn’t sure why robby was so crazy about this average midwesterner.

until his second week on nights.

there was a stabbing, the knife was still in the wound. dennis was the one tasked with pulling it out. jack supervised. he would teach no matter his personal feelings. dennis yanked it out at a careful angle. the pressure of the blade must’ve been keeping a severed artery at bay.

dennis got absolutely sprayed with blood. it misted his face and hair. his blond turned red, his safety glasses were spattered.

jack had seen this happen to many-a-resident. it usually caught them off guard, made them back away, unattractively spit the coppery taste onto the ground. not dennis, though. dennis hardly reacted. the blood almost forged him into something stronger, more focused. he shoved his hand into the hole without missing a beat.

“someone fucking clamp this and call vascular,” dennis ordered in a strong voice.

jack watched the scarlet roll down dennis’s neck when it mixed with his sweat.

Jack being worried it’ll be too boring and tame but finds himself on calls to barn injuries using battle field medicine again.

Robby being able to regulate his nervous system and still enjoy intense moments. Being able to step out side and enjoy nature rather than a rooftop.

Give me rural towns slowly accepting the weird tri faith gay throuple doctors as they each receive medical care from them and start to actually respect them.

Give me the towns first pride event (equally funny to me from the uk where rainbows also celebrate health care workers I can see a rural town combining the events)

Give me teens going to their clinic to ask for advice on their own sexuality and it being a safe space for all no matter what

Dennis: My attendings just got in a fight in the ER and they’re trying to decide who gets custody of me? What dat mean?

Trinity: *coming behind him with a monster and Dennis’s backpack* I’ve decided to make their divorce even messier, I’ll give you this monster if you come home with me instead ☺️

i love it whenever trin makes robby think dennis wants food but its actually just her
