DO YOU ANY GOOD FIC RECS????

Man I WISH but I honestly haven't come across any yet with that specific dynamic ;w; (if anyone has PLEASE link in the replies bc I need them too) Although! I still have a couple good recs for you in that vein!!

I'm currently reading this amazing hanahaki fic, Makes You Laugh, Makes You Cry by nabakovian. I've only read the first chapter but it's fucking fantastic so far! dennis in particular makes some bad choices to avoid sharing things with robby that might affect their "relationship"

i retract and repent in dust and ashes by blue65 is hucklerabbot but is stellar if you like avoidant/self-destructive whitaker (hiding/mismanaging diabetes)

tidbits from noah's interview about the pitt

scott gemmill was the one to choose the format of the show. he wanted 12 episodes to match a 12 hour shift, noah agreed. but hbo max said they wanted 15 episodes for 15 hours so they now need to work together to extend the shift by 3 hours each season.

scott was also the one to choose no music in the show. he wanted people not to look at their phones and away from the screen and to focus on what was happening at all times.

noah is writing episode 3 of season 3 and he cannot believe how many characters there are. he's doing his best to write every character into it as he wants people in hollywood to have jobs and get their health insurance in 2026.

they have 4 real life ER physicians on set at all times to educate the cast and to keep the medicine as real as possible as well as trauma nurses for their expertise.
