You stole my cart - Master post (1)
Welcome to my series master list!
This is an ongoing Jack Abbot x reader / Jack Abbot x you fanfiction. So new chapters will be added as we go.
I can't add any more links to this post (apparently there's a link limit and I had no idea). So this is part 1 of my series master list - you'll find part 2 at the bottom.
If you ever have ideas, thoughts or something you'd love to see, feel free to drop me a message or an ask. I can't promise anything, but I'll definitely see what I can do.
Content warnings: some angst, some fluff, unplanned pregnancy and relationship trouble - because we like to suffer a little before things get better
Summary: When you went grocery shopping you didn't expect to come home with the number of a very handsome ED doctor

Tell me about it (The Jack Sessions - Part III)
