For a moment Peter wasn't aware of anything but the beeping of a heart monitor. He wasn't even quite aware that that was what he could here. Just the knowledge that there was a beeping breaking into the darkness that surrounded him, and it was a noise he had heard before ( Read more... )

[OOC: Okay, so I had a brain fart in regards to the plot and needed to take the last post down... I blame overworking.]Truth was Elle wasn't used to being in the position where she needed help. She was supposed to be tough, and strong, and independent just like Daddy wanted. She was the bad girl, not the victim. The sociopath, not the damsel in ( Read more... )

Somewhere along the way Maxxie had lost his shirt. He was covered in sweat, his breath coming out in pants as the driving beats just made him dance harder. He'd spent all day at the dance studio teaching little old ladies to waltz, so now it was just time to let his hair down. He hadn't wanted to think about why there were little old ladies on the ( Read more... )

It had been a year since Chase had last been roped into this. Somehow, the kid who dragged him into it last time was still on the island and had rocked up enthusiastically at the Medical Centre about a week ago, bouncing around like he was still high on too many red drinks declaring that "Dr Rob" was his partner in the Sandcastle Comp again this ( Read more... )

Chase realised sometime over the course of the morning that he had actually passed his island anniversary. He had been here a little over three years now, and it was surreal to admit. Most of the time, it didn't feel that long, but every now and again, some days just felt like he had been there forever. So much had changed in the last year alone. ( Read more... )

Chase sat on the sand and inhaled slowly from the joint held carefully between his thumb and forefinger. Some friend of a friend of a colleague managed to get his hands on this joint that boasted to be way more awesome than what the island already offered. Chase might be a doctor, but he wasn't opposed to getting high now and again, even if he had ( Read more... )

Why didn't she get to have the father that wanted to rescue her, and the idiotic boyfriend willing to do anything? It wasn’t fair. Stupid, perfect, blonde Bennet and her perfect damn family ( Read more... )

It was over. All of their epidemic patients had been discharged - including Peter - and Rob had just been checked out too, albeit grudgingly on Chase's part. He ultimately would have preferred to keep Rob in for another few days yet, but the soldier turned into such a cranky bastard in the last couple of days that Chase knew keeping him in would ( Read more... )

If there was one thing in this world House found unmitigated, immutable comfort in, it was his piano.

The ivory keys were always smooth under his fingertips, and the hammers always seemed to hit the strings with just the right velocity in just the right place to create quite possibly the most beautiful sound a baby grand piano could make, which at ( Read more... )

House had been sitting up in his office when his pager went off. It was Chase. He couldn't tell if his page meant Fox was taking Rob off of the life support, or if this meant Rob was awake and dancing on the tables. House was pretty sure the former was going to be the one he was going to have to deal with ( Read more... )
