My brain WANTS to write Mel/Langdon fic but first I need the crucial stage of “batting ideas around with tumblr friends” so send me asks
very very attached to doing something with Mel who likes herself and won’t be changing but knows that people have the “babygirl your vibes are off putting” reaction and is frustrated by it. Mel who can be a bit rigid because she *knows* she’s good at her job and usually right. Mel who chose emergency medicine because she’s good in a crisis and she’s good in a crisis because sometimes her life feels like one long slow motion sustained crisis state. And then I want Langdon to cook her dinner and walk into walls because he’s staring at her too hard.

WIP Wednesday Thursday
I was (very vaguely) tagged by @pansiesandposies for some WIP sneak peak. I'm trying not to give too much away about the fic as a whole, but I don't know if I've accomplished that. (Here's hoping I finish this fic some day.)
Boxer briefs, she realized and smothered her face into her palms. The tell-tale ridge of the hem of the leg was unmistakable, flush against the skin of the thigh, but not constricting. An intrusive thought, originating from somewhere foreign in her brain, ignored and uncharted for years due to pace and nature of her life's circumstances, mused, What color are they? Mel feared that the wave of color she felt surging from her chest up to the crown of her head would be such a terrible combination of red and pink against her pale skin that, when she finally caught her breath and returned to fray, her colleagues would think she had contracted some abhorrent rash or infectious disease. The case for the Loop earplugs was still warm in her palm, though Mel could no longer determine if it was from the heat of Dr. Langdon's thigh or being clutched in her white-knuckled grip for the past nine-and-a-half minutes. Mercifully, the copper loop of the earplug retained some coolness against the shell of her ear, likely aided by the fall air chilling the uninsulated stairwell. The temperature difference would help ground her, she calculated, in about one hundred seconds. She hoped that her heart rate would return to a number considered within 'normal' range in the meantime.
If anyone else would like to share some of their WIP, please consider yourself tagged!

WIP Wednesday
Currently busy with putting that man in a box and shaking it, so enjoy a little buildup to his suffering hehe
The cravings have worn down most of their sharpness, too.  His cravings for Mel… have not. When it comes to her, no one can hold him accountable except Mel herself, and God knows she’s not even trying to, not even once. Maybe these ever coming waves of want would be easier to ride out if he knew how or why he ended up in these treacherous waters. He can explain the benzos, has explained them, to Robby, to Abby, to the therapists in rehab, to his NA groups.  He can’t explain Mel to a single soul, with his own at the very top of that list.  Her eyes find his own across the packed ER and not even the sirens of twelve ambulances could pull his focus away from her. She smiles at him and suddenly he holds a lighter and a canister of gasoline in his hands, ready to set his whole life on fire just to keep the warm glow of her eyes alive.  He shouldn’t. Frank knows that. Mel does too.
