@kingdonmicrofic day 1: confetti | 382/382 | rating: g
Mel stands, worrying her lip, staring out at the endless sea of pink and teal sticky notes dotting up and down the living room wall.
Neat rows of pros and cons only remind her that she has four days to decide which fellowship she wants to accept. (She has her pick of the litter: PTMC and three partner hospital programs in Pittsburgh. Something she has to pinch herself about sometimes. But now she has to actually choose.)
A pair of familiar arms settle around her shoulders, pulling her gently back against a warm chest, and Frank’s chin comes to rest on top of her head.
“Redecorating already?” he asks. “It took forever to pick out that wall color in the first place.”
She lets out a watery laugh, twisting her head to kiss his arm before burrowing her head into it.
“It was so hard the first time, Frank. What if… what if no one likes me again?”
The words feel childish the minute they leave her mouth, but they’re real. It was so lonely for so long. What if she ends up alone again? Abandoned in conversation or eating by herself? What if she’s already found the handful of people who like her in the world and she’s just leaving them?
“I know, baby,” he presses his lips to her temple. “I know it’s scary. But this time you’ve got me and you’ve got people in your corner.”
The pressure in her chest eases slightly. “Starting over is so much work and I just don’t know if I can,” she sighs.
“The whole world deserves to know how cool and smart and badass Dr. Melissa King is. It would be selfish to keep you cooped up forever,” Frank sways them, breath tickling her ear which coaxes a small giggle. “Even if I want to be selfish.”
“Frank,” she whispers.
“Regardless of where you go, you’re going to be doing incredible things. You’ll be teaching. Helping people. You’ll be doing fucking cool stuff and at the end of every day, we’re going to crawl into bed together and you’ll tell me all about it. All the rest,” he waves his hand at the rainbow-covered wall, “is confetti.”
Mel hums, thoughtful and amused, squeezing his forearm. That’s all she really needs to hear.

director's cut (i wrote too much at first) of a microfic posted on ao3 here
It’s funny how standing outside of the Langdon family’s front door feels identical to standing on the edge of a cliff. To let her finger hover over their doorbell before ringing it is to look down and see just how far she can fall, but she holds her breath and goes for it anyways, setting off an enthusiastic round of goldendoodle barks.
When the door swings open, Frank keeps the beast at bay with his one foot and ushers her in quickly. “I know it’s maybe a jump to say that you’re going to be the expert just because you and Becs do jigsaw puzzles, but you’re kinda–”
“No, it’s okay!” Mel jumps in. “We’ll get everything back together. Even if the puzzle skills don’t translate,” (she’s certain they will), “I’m nothing if not patient.”
My favourite detail specialist, back on the case, he’d said over the phone, and as she enters his home office, she can see why her services are needed.
According to Frank, Penny desperately needed confetti for a disco-tea-birthday party she was throwing and Tanner felt like being a helpful big brother. Helpful big brothers know that Dad has a paper shredder. Helpful big brothers see piles of documents laid out on Dad’s desk as the universe’s blessing to shred. The kids are noticeably absent, now, but the evidence of their mischief is impossible to ignore.
Mel surveys the scene, strips of paper in shades of cream and ivory all over the floor, and immediately drops to her knees at the edge of the mess.
“Oh, like right now?” He chokes out.
“It’s what I’m here for,” Mel hums, already picking out two strips of paper and grouping them based on visible texture. When she turns her head, he’s just staring down at her. She blinks. “Well? Are you ready, Dr. Langdon?”
Frank swallows before snapping into action, wheeling over his office chair, and they get to work. Mel colour matches the paper on the ground, which she assigns letter groups before handing to Frank to assemble more cohesively on the desk. They’re on the hunt for one document in particular, Frank reminds her. Everything else can stay shredded, but he’ll know what to focus on once they start putting it together. Mel starts to build a few separate things. A glossy 8x10 photo that features a lot of white tulle, a couple of greeting cards with illustrations of cake toppers and suits, but eventually she starts to match up pieces of something that makes Langdon pause.
“Okay, more of group H. As many H’s as we can find. That’s the one I need for the appointment.”
Group H is a currently untitled document, but Mel knows it has a lot of heavy navy filigree along the border and a very subtle pattern beneath no-nonsense serif text. She starts to weed out any non-group H papers, and pieces things together until Frank breathes a sigh of relief. “We actually got it back,” he smiles. “Holy shit.”
Mel sneaks a peek at the desk. An Allegheny County Marriage license, for a Mr. Frank Langdon and a Ms. Abigail Winston, dated 2019.
“Thanks for the…,” Frank gestures to the document on the desk. “This will be super helpful.”
“Is it… Are you…?”
“It’s exactly what you think it is, I’m just not telling anyone at work. And I won’t be for a while.” He says, tracking her eyes. It’s a request.
“No, of course!” Mel squeaks, working through so many emotions in so little time. “Your secret's safe with me.”

Kingdon Week day 5: nature | oops, accidental pregnancy
“Everything grows—rounder and wider and weirder—and I sit here in the middle of it all and wonder who in the world you will turn out to be.” — Carrie Fisher
"You're my favorite resident, Mel. That's no secret."
"Well, good," she says, trying to tamper down her emerging smile. She can feel the heat in her cheeks and is thankful the dim light is enough to hide it from him. "You're my favorite, too," then, in attempt to keep the professional wall in place, she tacks on a quick, "Dr. Langdon."
The evolution of Mel's relationship with Frank, as told by car rides to and from work.
I love fics where Mel and Frank are friends that are actually dating and Mel doesn’t know it. The ones where he is like “I asked her out, we hang all the time, I’m taking it at her pace, we share a bed more than not, I love my girlfriend Mel. I want her to know how love and cherished she is so I will show her through my actions rather than creep her out with words.”
And she’s like “Frank is my best friend, we get platonic dinners after work and hang all the time, after I gave him a hug that one time I found out he gives the best hugs and he hugs me all the time, we platonically snuggle at night, I love my best friend Frank, gee I wish he’d see me romantically though because I would love to fuck him non-platonically”
Love love love it!
(For me it started with @avocado-moon s two-player (loooove it) but I’ve seen different variations and I eat every single one of them up every time!!!!)
However it’s always Frank thinking he’s dating Mel and her being oblivious. And I neeeed the reverse
I need Mel seeing Frank fresh out of rehab and divorce and thinking “I better let him set the pace, like a good girlfriend who respects her man’s feelings and supports him through the hard times” while he thinks “wow what a great friend Mel is, hope I don’t fuck up this friendship by letting her know I’m in love with her!”
Frank confessing he’s lonely w/o the kids and Mel stepping in and letting him have a family with her and becca while Abby has the kids.
Frank invites Mel over when he feels weak and might relapse and they end up sharing a bed and he whispers confessions abt how he thinks he might not be ready for a relationship with anyone, and if he was “I don’t think anyone would be patient enough to be with me.” He means this in a “I’m a bad partner, ask my ex wife, I have baggage and issues up the wazoo and I make a lot of mistakes” she takes this as a “I want to take it slow”
He goes on to confess how he’s ashamed he’s letting her see him like this. But she is the only one he’d wanted to call. And she shushes him and says she’s there for him and Frank is like “wow Mel is the best friend I could have ever asked for. I better not scare her off with my romantic feelings” and Mel is like “wow he wants to take it slow WITH ME.”
And she takes him literally and decides to be the most patient girlfriend Frank’s ever had and the next morning they go out to breakfast and she takes his hand and invites him to dinner after shift and he says yes and she’s so happy!
They hold hands, they have dinners, they watch tv, spend time with the kids and with becca, Abby and Mel even exchange numbers and Abby sends her a text telling her how happy she is that Frank met her.
Months go by and Mel is the most patient girlfriend ever. Letting Frank take the lead in all things physical and relationshippy. She’s a little relieved at first because he has more experience than her with relationships anyway. Her only real relationship was in highschool and they were less physical than her and Frank are now so it seems on par with the course.
Frank meanwhile is just so happy to have a best friend that he’s terrified she’ll find out he’s deeply in love with her and decide she needs to give him space to get over her because it would break him. He gaslights himself to construe all late night conversations whispered while spooning in bed together, all dinners and movies and family outings with his kids and becca to different museums and activities as platonic.
He panics every time someone assumes they are a couple but doesn’t correct them because 1 he wants it so bad, 2) it would bring attention to the fact that they aren’t in a way that might spill the beans on how much he wishes they were and 3) Mel doesn’t correct anyone either, just smiles like it’s a compliment. But that is just standard Mel with everything he fears.
The one time he’d reacted awkwardly and denied it was a comment it was at work and Mel had assumed he wanted to avoid even more hr red tape and he’d mumbled something about not being a fan of labels and she’d accepted that and explained to becca that she shouldn’t call Frank her sisters boyfriend because he was going through a hard time and they needed to be patient with him.
Frank gets a clue abt 6 months into the relationship when he drives becca to the centre without Mel and becca, not the most patient person, asks when Frank will propose, or if he will move in with Mel first? And when they do get married will Frank and Mel move into Mel or Frank’s place or will they buy a house, because Mel’s lease is up in 3 months and Becca worries about change more than Mel does and is already preparing but Mel has no answers yet so maybe Frank knows.
And frank stops the car and stares at her because what?
“You and Mel have been dating since October. It’s April now and I know Mel said you wanted to take things slow but I know you and Abby met just one year before Tanner was born so I figured if it took you three months to decide to have a child, propose and move in with Abby. then twice the time for a third of the things is slow enough.”
That’s as far as I got, now I need someone more talented than me to write Mel dating an oblivious Frank, or link me to a fic I’ve missed that already does it! 🥺🥺🥺
