    Summary

    “I, was in Switzerland.”

    “The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst years of your life.” Richard announced. “You will be pushed to the breaking point.”

    “I was in Switzerland, in my car, drinking coffee, about to walk into my hospital.” Cristina hiss-whispered.

    “Look around you. Say ‘Hello’ to your competition.”

    “Tell me this isn’t a dream,” Meredith whispered back. “Or it is, only just a really weird one.”

    “Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Five of you will crack under the pressure. Two of you will be asked to leave.”

    “We are so screwed.” Cristina sighed.

    The first time was supposed to be the last time.

    Spoiler alert: It wasn't.

    Summary

    In the world after the world, Ben struggles with being alive.

    With breathing and walking on solid land, for starters. But he mostly struggles with the knowledge that, in his family’s last moments during the final end-of-the-world, that he wasn’t there with them, and now there’s some unspoken family history that everyone else is in on.

    He didn’t earn this, their happy ending. He had tried to make his peace and instead was dropped back into the complicated and messy world of the living, with his siblings all now six years his senior. The unfamiliarity of life was making his heart race, which is really unsettling for someone who hasn’t had a heartbeat in two decades. Not to mention, the creeping nausea he feels whenever someone brings up “the Cleanse”.

    (in which Ben ascends, then descends, and has several existential crises he had stored up since 2006)

    Summary

    “I don’t know what to do. All my instincts say to put my family first, walk away and get a new job as fast as I can. But maybe if I stayed on we’d be better off if it does work?”

    Leo understood the stakes. The younger three were barely allowed to remain in Raph's care, let alone if they lost everything. If they were on the streets with no food for Raph, no anti-seizure meds for Donnie, no comfy bed for Mikey…

    Yeah, no. Leo could totally do this. “Go with your gut. Whichever way you wanna go, I support you. And I’ll take on as many shifts as they’ll give me until you get back to your bread-winning self. Don’t even worry about it — hey Raphie, look at me.”

    Raph audibly sniffed and turned his red rimmed eyes at his younger brother. Welling with frustrated tears. It was clear all over him that this wasn’t what he wanted.

    But life wasn’t fair. Leo learned that a long time ago. He squished the arm in his grasp and said, coaxing and calm, “It’s gonna be fineee, I promise we can handle this. I’ve got your back.”

     

    or: human au where leo would do anything for his family. anything.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Don't read unless you are okay with crying. It's good, but you need to be in the right headspace.
