walk with me here - Apocalypse Now takes place in 1968. Platoon takes place in 1968. The events of Platoon happen near the Cambodian border, while the Apocalypse Now crew journeys into Cambodia. The main character of Apocalypse Now is played by Martin Sheen, father to Charlie Sheen, the main character of Platoon. Both of the narration bits in these films were written by Michael Herr, a real-life Vietnam War correspondant who wrote the book Dispatches. The events in these films were happening at the same time, so while Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen) was battling for his soul in Vietnam, Captain Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen) was losing his sanity while also questioning the morality of war in Cambodia.

the pitt fic: i've learned to count on you (as my own fingers)

Relationships: Jack Abbot/Michael "Robby" Robinavitch

Summary: The first time Jack meets Michael Robinavitch, he's at PTMC for an attending interview in what turns out is pretty terrible circumstances, because the Chief Attending—and Robinavitch's mentor—just died. Jack doesn't know it, but his life is about to change irrevocably.

Or, five times they learn to count on each other, and one time they finally figure out what it means that they do.

And then he sees the guy. He's tall—and not just taller than Jack, which maybe isn't that hard, but properly tall—and he's leaning against a column near the doors to the ED, eyes closed, N95 mask hanging off one hand. Jack immediately recognizes that stance, that entire state of being: Atlas about to go under. Hell, Jack's been that guy. He feels a pang of sympathy, a sudden desire to go over there, and provide something: a listening ear, a drink, a sandwich. A getaway car.

Please consider the following:

Robby and Jack who have been cowriting case studies and research publications for years.

Robby is well-read. He loves literature. He’s a grammar wiz. If he hadn’t chosen medicine, he might have been an English literature professor. He uses em dashes. He has a vast vocabulary. His flaw? He can’t cut down to a maximum word count. He has too much to say. It would take hours to thoroughly read a rough draft of his.

Jack throws commas wherever he wants, and none of them are used correctly. He will reuse the same descriptive word twice in a sentence. He doesn’t really know what a semi-colon is for, but he’ll throw one in a paragraph for fun. English and grammar were his lowest testing scores throughout high school and college. His strength? His thoughts and sentences are short and to the point. He doesn’t use frilly words to beef up his arguments. If he needed to, he could fit an entire research study on one page.

They balance each other out, and they publish almost yearly in highly regarded journals. But it doesn’t come without snarky comments between the two while they proofread each others’ sections of the paper.

—

“Jesus, Jack. You can’t just excessively use commas. You have to end the sentence eventually. How did you get into medical school?”

“You don’t need commas to take the MCAT, Rob.”

—

“What the fuck does ephemeral mean?”

“You know, for as much as you talk, you have a very limited vocabulary.”

—

“Quit using em dashes, you pretentious ass.”

“Wow, ‘pretentious.’ That was a big word for you.”

These two have been friends for years. You don’t get those roof scenes without seeing someone at their absolute bests and worsts a dozen times over, always staying for the next one because you just love them that goddamn much.

Jack being a cat person is one of my favourite headcanons.

He didn't think he was a cat person and he never planned on having a cat. And then, one day he found an injured stray cat on the street and took it home "just to have it seen by a vet".

But then, of course, he became attached to the cat and is now a proud cat dad who shows its pictures to everybody in the er.

so can we all agree that robby’s a dog guy and jack’s a cat guy? having intense visions of robby reading on the couch with a chocolate lab over his lap while jack lays on the ground in front of him and swishes around a cat lure for their newly adopted shorthair kitten.
