Summary
”You know, there’s a rule about cowboys and their hats.”
“Oh, so you’re a cowboy now are you?”
“I grew up on a farm, we had cattle. Plus I have the hat.”
“What do they say then?”
“Wear the hat, ride the cowboy.”Dennis Whitaker moved in with Trinity Santos. After months of squatting in the hospital he finally had a roof over his head, and in honestly he felt guilty about it. That is until he sees an advert for a casual hours stable hand. Finally he can earn some money and repay Santos for her generosity.
After Pittfest Robby got in contact with a therapist. He was surprised with how well it was going. He’d always been the type to express the need to talk about things to his patients, but he never took his own advice. Then after a conversation about his last vacation, his therapist suggests that equine therapy might be a good option for him. Little did he know he would meet his med student there, and strike up an unlikely bond.
Or,
Dennis and Robby meet at Dennis’ second job. Robby gets to see him in a different light, and against what they both know they begin to build a bond. One they’re determined to keep away from the prying eyes of the hospital.

Summary
Dennis couldn't remember the last time he had been present in a space that wasn't cleaned of him. It might have had something to do with a more conservative upbringing, or the plethora of children inhabiting a house built for Christian magazines. White walls, white counters, white tile. If he'd stayed, he'd be wearing his white shirts, an outward manifestation of the clean body underneath.
Otherwise known as Dennis's religious trauma, leading to him living as a Beta. He becomes obsessed with Robby and Jack because their scents can get through his thoroughly abused nose and set his hormones ablaze. Of course, he knows both men are probably already mated and pupped up, so he tries to ignore it. Unless.

Summary
'The older man laughed at his predicament. Then he did something terrible. He rolled up his sleeves for him. Dennis was damn near breathless when he got to the left hand. Jesus Christ, this will be a long day if Robby is already hovering and touching like this. He gets in moods where he likes to control what everyone does. Dennis is the one who bends to it the easiest, though, so he often bears the brunt. He didn’t even mind, which was probably the worst part.
When they walked out for the morning huddle, Trinity took one look at him and cackled. “My coat not good enough for ya? Or did you just wanna smell like daddy?” At least she had the decency to whisper it.
“Shut up. I should’ve never told you that.”'
Or in which Dennis has a rare condition that prevents him from feeling the physical sensation of pain. Jack and Robby have to find novel ways to punish him into taking better care of himself.

Summary
Two weeks into December, Dennis is dead on his feet. No amount of redbull could fix this tired. When he’s headed out the door, Robby asks him when he's next in. Dennis looks down at his phone to check the time and almost cries. 7 hours. That means 5 hours of sleep, max, when he accounts for the bus to the apartment he shares with Trinity, the bus back to work, and hopefully some ramen.
Robby tells him to wait while he goes to his locker. Dennis does, closing his eyes trying not to resent the way this is cutting into his sleep time. He opens his eyes when Robby presses something cold and metal into his hand, along with a post-it note.
-
Dennis takes on way more shifts than he should in December of his intern year. Robby, who is hot bunking with Jack, invites him to join their rotation.

Summary
You’re the security guard known for bullying Robby into eating lunch and stopping Myrna from escaping. You aren't the girl who gets the guy. But one debate about Market Garden changes the landscape. Suddenly, Jack is on your couch and arguing about D-Day.It’s all platonic until the "Cabal" gets involved. Dana knows too much, Samira is planning the wedding, and poor Whitaker is begging to be excluded. But when Jack stumbles upon your secret plan to become a single mother via a sperm donor
"So" You swallowed hard."You want to be my donor?"
Jack’s face scrunching up, as if he had just stepped in something disgusting."I didn't say 'donor.'"
“Yes, you did!”
"I meant the father," Jack grumbled, dragging a hand through his curls. "And I certainly didn't mean I want to go into a sterile little room with a plastic cup and a sticky copy of a magazine from 1998 while a nurse scowls at me."
Your brain screeched to a halt."Wait," you whispered, the realization hitting you."You mean..."
"I mean the traditional way," Jack said, his voice rough, his gaze dropping to your lips for a fraction of a second before snapping back to your eyes. "No cups. No doctors. Just... us.”

She could leave him to die, send him on a suicide mission, or tell him to fuck off, but she needed Trin on her team. So here he was, hiding behind Dana as Robby washed his hands, listening to the woman's pleas.
"He won't cause any problems. He can clean, he's good with tech, mostly."
"Mostly?" Robby huffed, putting the cig out. He glanced at Dennis. "Why did they throw you out of the team, kid? You killed the wrong guy on a gig?"
Dennis twitched, realising he was being talked to.
"Uh, no, I…I accidentally drove a car off the bridge."
"Jesus." Robby laughed, shaking his head. "Who chose you as a getaway driver?"

Summary
The red light ahead changed, and Dennis eased the car through the intersection, the tires splashing through puddles as the drains couldn’t keep up with the amount of rain coming down.
He didn’t notice the black truck barreling toward him, headlights off, until it was too late.
The world seemed to tilt, then straighten, then tilt again. A deafening roar of brakes squeaking, metal crunching, and sirens filled his ears. “Michael” was the last thought in his head before he slipped unconscious with the rain dripping onto his face through the broken window.

Or, Dennis is in a car accident and Robby goes through Hell waiting for his boyfriend to find his way home, back to him.

Summary
“A grown-up in a kid’s body,” his mother liked to say. But did they know the extent of the damage they’d done? A child, forced into adulthood before he was ready, thrust into a life of labor, of faith. A faith that he didn’t even really think he believed in, anyway.
And it wasn’t his brothers’ fault. Wasn’t his parents' fault, either. It was the hand he had been dealt, and he would live with it. He would.
or
Dennis has a bad regression day. Jack and Robby just want their baby to be okay.
