Subject: Please read this.
Mel, I'm so sorry. I promised myself I wouldn't do this but I'm so fucking weak, and I'm impulsive, and my therapist is going to kick my ass for sure, but there's something you need to know.
I love you. I'm so fucking in love with you, sometimes it feels like my bones would snap completely or my brain would melt out of my ears or I'd just somehow cease to exist if you weren't in my life. (Dramatic, I know. Blame Becca and her latest book rec for that.) But fuck, Mel, it's the only way I could even begin to relay how I feel about you. You just get it, you always do. You're grounding, so beautiful and smart and compassionate, and I don't think you realize just how much of my heart is yours. All of it, by the way. If you were wondering.
Fuck. I sound fucking insane, don't I? My head's been so full of you for so long and I've been terrified to say any of it. You're my best friend, Mel, and no matter what I hope you'll keep me around, let me stay in your life somehow. Please don't let this change us, I just needed you to know before it was too late.
Tomorrow, you'll marry him, and I will be okay. You deserve to be happy. You deserve someone who loves you, a best friend, to be by your side when you marry the love of your life, and I will be that. I won't let you down.
While I wish I could've been less of a coward, fate is a funny thing.

Different first meeting au where Mel is treating frank after he did the dad thing of trying to do a backflip for his kids and failing, and that's how he hurt his back.
Oooooo finally one I can do!! Lol
-------------
Frank knew better. Backflip off a swing. He was thirty fucking three. Divorced with two kids who could make him doing anything and a dog who refused to do anything he said. So he was in Presby. He refused to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing him like this. Not with this story. Not in the Pitt. Knowing his luck he'd get Santos and he refused to give her the satisfaction of proof of his idiocy.
Besides it was a tweaked back. Old injury exasbarted by him winding himself. And Samira had transferred to Presby. How bad could they really be? He glanced around, hoping to spy his former colleague. The Pitt missed her dearly. But there was no question: Robby had treated her like shit and she'd done the smart thing.
She'd always done the smart thing.
'Frank Langdon?' Sandy an older cheery woman called out. Frank hobbled as best he could towards the swing doors. Grey hair with bright rainbow tips. Her smile was as bright as the lights above their heads. Frank just knew her cookies were off the hook.
'Thanks.' Oh she winced sympathetically as she watched his slow limping gait. He knew he looked pathetic. Hence why he was not in the fucking Pitt. Also it was calmer in Presby. Not exactly the hub of trauma. Frank could feel his eyelids grow heavy. His need for constant input bemoaning the relative calm.
Minus the hair and the crazy shoes that he couldn't begin to explain, he was strongly reminded of his mother. 'Oh I put my back out on the regular. It's an awful thing. Luckily you are getting one of our best residents. She's a doll.'
Frank was left in an eerily quiet triage room. It was just him and a young guy with what looked like some sort of genital issue. By the looks of him: it had to be weird.
'Mr Langdon?' A woman's voice drew his attention. Deeper than the typical. Warning bells instantly went off in his head. He'd fallen for a pretty voice before.
Then he looked up. Frank Langdon: divorced with two kids and one unruly dog was instantly sunk.
A pair of bright hazel eyes behind glasses and a dazzling smile. Blonde hair pulled back in a braid he thought. Neat scrubs with a bright blue top that made her skin glow. Her head tilted curiously at him. Eyes glancing down at her tablet. Oh right he needed to actually talk to her. 'Ah-yeah. That's me.'
'So what brings you in today?' She pulled up a seat and stared up at him
'I'm a fucking idiot?' Her brow furrowed a little bit. 'Sorry my kids got me to try a trick that I am too old and way too tall for. Landed on my back. Old injury from college.' Mel chewed on her lip, nodding and making notes.
She was quick and efficient. A little off beat. Her questions maybe a little more direct than some would like. Frank was pretty similar. He tried not to flinch as she gently probed his back. Apologising in a sweet voice. Sure it was uncomfortable but a beautiful, intelligent doctor. He was going to be a little jumpy.
'Oh my god you must have thought I was so condescending!' Her cheeks flushed in horror when he finally admitted to be a fellow ER doctor himself. First year in his fellowship in teaching.
He shook his head. 'Nah. Besides I'm not a doctor right now. Best not to assume shit. Besides-' He dropped his head and voice, unable to resist leaning closer to her '-I could be a horrendous one.'
Her laugh was lovely. He got the feeling that she didn't laugh enough. 'You work over in PMTC?' Frank nodded.
'Dr Mohan talks about that. Seems like a complicated place to work.'
Oh how to explain Robby. 'It has it's benefits.'
Mel nodded quickly. 'Oh I was hoping to get a spot after my VA rotation but missed a deadline due to an issue with my sister. She had higher support needs. Things happen but... still disappointing.'
There was a little more to that story but Frank knew their time together was coming to a close. He reached into his wallet. For the first time using one of his new fancy business cards. On a wild impulse he scribbled down his own number underneath his work email.
'If you want to try applying. We usually can squeeze in another resident who's talented. Feel free to shoot me your CV. The senior attendings are fairly chill. If you ignore Robby.' Mel's eyes betrayed her knowledge. Must have had some conversations with Mohan. Well the better informed she was.
'Oh I couldn't.' She clutched the tablet to her chest as he made his way to his feet. Feeling a lot better with some massage therapy and relaxants. She really was good.
'Entirely up to you. No pressure one way or the other.' Mel frowned at the card. Her lips pursing a little in thought. God she was cute. 'And the phone number?'
'In case you want to hang out with an idiot who tries doing backflips to impress his two kids?'
He hadn't meant to ask her out. Frank hated patients who did that. But he wasn't just a patient. He could tell they had a lot in common. But again she had a general snap shot of his life. Divorced and bit more baggage than most people his age.
'I'll think about it.'
'I'm honoured you'd even consider it.' He wasn't sure why he was putting on a silly old fashioned accent but he did. She hid her giggling face behind her tablet. Maybe it was best he leave before he did something else stupid.
Frank had his head on the steering wheel of his car. What the fuck was he thinking. Asking her out like that. She'd didn't know him. He was her patient. Oh god he really was a just a-
yk what would be hilarious??? mel having a long string of exes and frank only ever having been with abby
the mere concept of cocky asshole mcgee being so inexperienced when it comes to niche stuff in relationships when he is the one that ppl go for advice because he just gives off that vibe, and mel being the one who actually knows all the messy relationships stuff??? i absolutely adore it
Mel and Trinity start spending so much time together and start getting so casually affectionate at work that Frank and Yolanda start convincing themselves and each other that there’s something romantic going on there.
Yolanda, drunk on the sofa (that Frank sleeps on post-divorce), fingertips smoothing over the barely-there scar on her foot: “I think I really fucked it.”
Frank, stone cold sober, but somehow sounding more drunk: “I never even got a chance to fuck it.”

Huhu! 🙇♀️ Saw a post the other day that said Mel would have a crush where she’s a little nervous around Langdon, but Langdon would be so head over heels in love with her that he'd literally throw up …. Ugh…
I headcanon that whenever Robby wants to beef up patient satisfaction scores he assigns Mel and Langdon to work triage/together for a few hours.
The old ladies are always DELIGHTED by their sweet doctors being so in love, and they work so well together that they can treat a ton of patients fast and well.
Everyone has caught onto this tactic but no one cares because lowkey- everyone wins.
Langdon is all eloquent and smooth now, because he hasn't realised he's falling in love yet. Just wait til we see him again in S3, divorced and trying to figure out how to ask Mel out, completely fumbling every sentence he says to her, doing a Human Utah LaughTM at every joke she makes, dying inside every time she walks away after he said something extra weird.
This man has never developed game and I can’t wait for the other Pittlings to watch this go down, wheezing behind their monitors as they take in the trainwreck from a distance.
everyone post their favorite pregnant!mel headcanons/ideas
i’ll start: i think mel, who has always loved wearing more flowy and oversized clothes for comfort, becomes obsessed with wearing tighter and tinier clothes during pregnancy because she loves showing off her bump. i think this gives frank about 3 or 4 heart attacks a day (in the best way)

- their paper is probably called some shit like The Pittsburgh Gazette but there’s so many similar papers like that and everyone just calls it The Pitt
- robby as EiC obviously, dana as copy editor
- langdon is head editor of the investigations team and bikes to work everyday. very much peppy for a man writing dark stories
- whitaker on religion and santos on city govt.
- mel is a new hire from a veryyy small local paper and is still getting used to having to work with a team. For now she’s general assignment but stumbles her way into a long-term investigations start that robby wants her to collaborate with langdon on
- they immediately hit it off and everyone’s freaked out seeing known snarky head editor langdon absolutely praise mel’s writing and pitches
- just imagining business casual kingdon… they don’t have a strict dress code at all but mel feels weird wearing casual clothes to the office so she’s often in skirts or slacks and to make her feel less alone langdon (begrudgingly, cursing himself the entire time for going and falling head over heels for a tiny but powerful blonde woman) gets out his box of old ties from when he was a freshman reporter and starts wearing button downs again. robby is like wtf
s3 langdonmel where they are besties and Langdon is indeed divorced and hooking up with women. Regularly. And whenever he tells Mel about it she feels a certain type of way but she doesn’t know exactly what she is feeling. But she lets him tell her about it. Because she’s a good friend. Then Mel goes on 1 single date and langdon genuinely crashes the fuck out. And Mel is so mad at him because WHAT? She has to hear all about these different women he’s with and puts up with it but she goes on 1 date and he’s bitching at her? what is his ISSUE? and then they bitch at each other all day literally brat4brat they are gonna rip each others heads off etc etc etc
the concept of senior resident mel bonding with a new intern (who she doesn’t realize is incessantly flirting with her) and attending langdon freaking the fuck out about it
