Dear Writer,

thank you so much for writing a fic for me. I’m so excited about this exchange. I’ve included my general likes, DNWs and some thoughts, prompts and fangirling about the individual TV series/books.

In the spirit of the quick-paced Heart Attack here is the shortened version of all the prompts: I usually love canon-style plot - which is typically a casefic or mission fic (given the fandoms) - with some shenanigans, more focus on hurt/comfort than in canon, and with some sprinkles of the requested friendship/relationship, and no s*x, please.

General likes:

missing scenes
prequel/sequel of a canon scene
canon verse
friendship fics
case fics
future fics (future of the respective show/book)
gen fics
5 + 1 fics
character studies
friends to lovers
humour
slowburn
domestic fics
fluff
hurt/comfort (preferably physical injuries)

happy endings
open endings
second and third person POV
unusual narrator
lots of descriptions of the surroundings and atmosphere
multiple timelines

And here are some little details, flavours, specific tropes I like:

cooking together
dancing together
dark academia
epistolary
late night walks
lazy mornings
massage (nothing s*xual, just a massage)
road trips
slice of life
taking care of cats together
trapped in an elevator together

In case it helps I’ve also copied some of my thoughts about general freeforms I wrote for F5K.

Canon-style plot - I just love the series and books I’ve requested, so I’m not that interested in coffee shop or high school AUs. I love all the case fics (be it detective or medical) just sprinkled with a bit of the characters’ relationships.
Hurt/comfort - I love hurt/comfort. There can never be enough h/c in a fanfic. I prefer physical h/c, and injuries wayyy over illnesses. I love hurt/comfort and everything it encompasses ie. adapting to new life, permanent injuries, physical therapy…
Slice of life - I’d love to get a sneak peek into the everyday life of my favourite characters.
Mystery/Procedural - Case fics! Case fics! I’d love to follow the characters while they are investigating a crime or trying to diagnose a patient.
Getting together - The majority of my requested pairs are not canon, so I’d love to know how they started dating, who was the matchmaker, how was the first kiss, whether their boss was happy about it…
Fluff - All my faves are so busy with saving the patients and saving the world, have to always be alert and competent. And I’d love to see a bit of fluff in their lives. Who’ll bring them the fluff? And what is it? Visiting a cat-cafe or breakfast in bed?

DNWs:

E rated fics;
sexual scenes (cuddling and kissing is ok; I just don’t want to see more);
repeatedly mentioning body parts typically involved in sexual activities, especially c**k (mentioning “butt” or “breasts” in non-sexual context is ok);
excessive unnecessary violence (i.e. way over what is usual for a given show/book);
kid fics (i.e. focus on an original or canon child character);
omegaverse, mpreg and such;
royal/coffeeshop/high school/historic/sci-fi AUs;
Alzheimer’s, cancer and coronavirus related themes;
permanent brain damage;
death of any requested character (even if it’s canon);
and downright unhappy endings

1. Agatha Christie’s Poirot (TV)

Arthur Hastings/Hercule Poirot

Arthur Hastings & Hercule Poirot

Ariadne Oliver & Hercule Poirot

James Japp & Hercule Poirot

Arthur Hastings & James Japp & Hercule Poirot

Feel free to include other canon or original characters or characters from Agatha’s other works (like Miss Marple, Tommy & Tuppence, Inspector Battle…)

For Hastings/Poirot - I’m very neutral/indifferent to Hastings’ wife, feel free to handle her character in any way you want - from omitting her altogether, her cheating on Hastings and them getting a divorce, her dying, to Hastings getting divorce because of Poirot and anything else.

What I love about the series:

I love Agatha Christie and all her works. Poirot is one of my favourite detectives ever. If I - accidentally - haven’t seen a story I (almost certainly) have read the book and vice versa. I love everything about Poirot. Clever mysteries, mostly calm and thought through plot, Poirot’s little quirks, the nostalgy and elegance.

I love the cases taking place in the Middle East or among the noble ladies and gentlemen.

Prompts:

Case-fic. I especially like the mysteries in “high places” revolving around diplomats, ambassadors, politicians and all stories with spies. Is Poirot investigating with Hastings or is Miss Oliver trying to sneak into the investigation or is it a group effort of Poirot, Japp and Hastings?
Prequel to, sequel to, any missing scene from any episode.
A story told from Miss Oliver’s or Japp’s POV. What do they think about Poirot?
Poirot travelling in the Middle East. I love stories in these settings.
What if Poirot visits Hastings in Argentina? Does he help him solve another mystery? Or will Hastings surprise Poirot as he had already solved the case?!
Poirot and Hastings must have written so many letters to each other while Hastings was in Argentina, right? Was is about random or mundane things or about investigating? Was Hastings investigating something in Argentina and Poirot giving him advice? Or was is love letters?
Poirot/Hastings hiding their relationship. Do Japp and/or Miss Oliver find out?
Poirot/Hastings are dating. Will the dating agenda be distracted by a case? Or will they make some unusual mistakes in the investigation because of the dating agenda?
What would be some small signs of affection they’d have for each other?

2. Criminal Minds (US TV)

Derek Morgan & Spencer Reid

Jason Gideon & Spencer Reid

David Rossi & Spencer Reid

Original Male Character/Spencer Reid

I’m more familiar with the older seasons.

Feel free to include other characters - Hotch, Garcia, Elle, Emily, Seaver, Diana Reid

Fandom-specific DNWs: Henkel, Mr. Scratch, JJ, detailed descriptions of the unsub's methods

I do love case-fics but in the case of Criminal Minds the parts showing the unsubs were sometimes too brutal for me (especially with kidnappings), so I’d prefer more focus on the detective and profiling work than detailed descriptions of the unsub’s modus operandi.

What I love about the series:

I love Dr. Reid with all my heart… though, as I said, the series was a bit too dark for me so I’m not that interested in the parts with the unsub, when we see what they are doing but I do like the investigation, how everyone has their expertise, how they cooperate, how sometimes one of the profilers has a surprising piece of knowledge stemming from their hobbies or personal lives. And I absolutely love how they finalise the preliminary profile and then have the briefing with the local police. And I also like the flights and their discussions there… And I love Dr. Reid! And I love hurt/comfort.

I want Reid to be happy and I want him to know that he has good friends! With Gideon it was more of a mentor & mentee relationship; Derek is the big bro of the family; Rossi is so understanding…

Prompts:

Reid writing to his mom. We know he writes her letters every day. Does he write about everyday things, an investigation, an injury or him meeting/dating someone?
Hurt!Reid. I’d love to know more about Reid’s headaches and migraines in season 6 because in TV it just kinda faded away without any real explanation (IRL Matthew Gray-Gubler was contemplating leaving the series and the writers were preparing the possibilities for him to leave and one of the possible reasons was Reid’s cancer, but please no cancer here).
Exploring other canon injuries, like after Reid was shot in the leg in season 5. Reid knowing more about his injury (at least in theory) than his doctors could also be interesting. Will he be counting probabilities about successful surgeries and recovery? (it’s also interesting to catch up on the real story, MGG severely injured his knee in a dancing accident)
If you’ll go for Reid/OMC I’d love to know more about Reid’s partner. Where did they meet? In a cafe or when he was visiting his mom in the psychiatric hospital? Was Spencer his shy and awkward self when this person first approached him or was it Spencer who initiated the contact?!
What does the OMC do? Is he a university professor, are they having some intense intellectual debates or is it more of a physical attraction and the professions don’t matter?
Some more peaceful, calmer moments, friendship scenes, decompressing after a difficult case
Case-fic
Airplane discussions, Reid excitedly reciting random facts
Rossi or Gideon as a calm mentor to Reid
Reid showing his genius side during or outside investigation (bonus points for involving books)
One of my headcanons is that Reid is asexual so feel free to incorporate it into the fic

3. Grey’s Anatomy

Cristina Yang

Meredith Grey & Cristina Yang

Meredith Grey/Cristina Yang

Arizona Robbins/Callie Torres

Feel free to include other characters like Alex, Bailey, Richard, Mark, Derek, Burke, Owen, Teddy, Addison…

I’m more familiar with the first nine seasons

What I love about the series:

Grey’s Anatomy has been running for so long and everything has already happened there. I just love medical TV shows, all the improbable cases, crazy diagnosis, competent doctors, watching the surgeries, the tense atmosphere in the OR when something goes wrong, injuries, healing, doctors explaining the procedures…

My OTP was Cristina/Burke and then Calzona... And over time I’ve begun exploring ships that weren’t canon, I love the idea of Meredith/Cristina. And I love all the various friendships.

Prompts:

One of the doctors is preparing to do a difficult surgery, the other one is supporting them, calming down, offering ideas…
fluffy Calzona; I loved them, my girls deserve to be happy together (what if they both returned to Seattle from NY as a couple again?).
Medical case-fic (looking for a diagnosis or a solution for a case - like Derek on the first day Cristina, Meredith and the other started their internship)
Cristina is a fascinating character, I’d love to read more about her career in Switzerland, about her being a famous surgeon and teacher; how is it compatible with her friendship or relationship with Meredith
Another reason Cristina truly is a fascinating character is her openly stating she doesn’t want to have kids; it’s a theme people don’t talk about nowadays and I feel it was even more taboo ten years ago. I just love her for saying it loud and for standing up for her decision.
Meredith and Cristina had such an amazing friendship, I’d love to see it in a fic.
Meredith/Cristina - how did it happen (totally up to you, maybe Meredith/Derek never even dated ooor Meredith/Cristina started dating after all of the canon MerDer - in this case references to Derek’s death are ok…)
H/C - one of the doctors is a patient. Who is it? What happened? Who’s treating them?
Exploring canon injuries. I’d be interested in Arizona and her dealing with the amputation. It seemed like a season later the writers forgot she had lost her leg. (in this case references to the plane crash and Mark’s and Lexie’s deaths are ok)
I love OR scenes and competent confident surgeons there.

4. House M.D.

Gregory House

Gregory House & James Wilson

Gregory House/James Wilson

Gregory House & Robert Chase

Gregory House & Lisa Cuddy & James Wilson

Gregory House/Original Character(s)

Feel free to add other characters: Cameron, Chase, Foreman, Kutner, Taub, Thirteen, Stacy…

Fandom specific DNWs: focus on Tritter and/or Vogler, focus on Wilson's cancer

What I love about the series:

I love everything about House. An “unlikeable” main character, cynicism and irony, crime case-like approach to medicine…

I have to admit that the first three seasons were the best in my opinion. I'm much more familiar with the first five seasons… I know all the important events that happened afterwards (but we can totally make a deal that season 7 and 8 didn’t ever happen, especially not the whole House/Cuddy breakup, car “accident”, prison etc.)

Prompts:

Medical case-fic in the style of the regular episodes
Prequel to, sequel to, missing scene from any episode (especially from the first three seasons)
Cuddy & House complicated friendship
House & Wilson strong friendship even in their worst moments
House as a patient
Hurt!House. Of course, we have House, his leg and his pain. When it comes to canon portrayal of his pain I prefer the first three seasons. But you don’t have to concentrate only on this. House did many crazy things that resulted in other injuries, other crazy things just happened to him… or you can come up with new injuries.
I just simply love Wilson taking care of House.
Are House/Wilson trying to get together? Are they in an established relationship and hiding it? Is there a bit of fluff in their everyday life?
Hilson developing relationship, road trips, moving together…
House as Chase's mentor
Fix-it - there are so many things to fix :D Maybe House somehow returns even after his faked death to PPTH and is allowed to work there again (up to you if you take it further and let Wilson survive or he dies - in this case my DNWs about death of canon characters don’t apply)
I’m so curious about an OC who would date House. OMC or OFC, it doesn’t matter. What has caught House’s attention? Is it a one-night stand or something long-term? Where did they meet - in a bar, at a conference, in the hospital… in a library, music shop? What are they doing together? House is very self-conscious about the scar on his thigh, how does the OC handle it?

5. NCIS: Los Angeles

G Callen

G Callen & Arkady Kolcheck

G Callen/Sam Hanna

G Callen & Sam Hanna

Feel free to add other characters like Hetty, Anna, Vance, Nell, Eric, Michelle, Gibbs…

(For Callen/Sam I wouldn’t want Sam to be cheating on Michelle, she may simply be out of the picture altogether or they got together after she died or any other scenario you can imagine)

Fandom specific DNWs: Mosley, Joelle, Granger; focus on Deeks/Kensi

What I love about the series:

I love spies, I do love spies so much, I love undercover work, creating the backstories and agents slipping into “fake” characters. And Mr. Callen is the master of the game. I also love men with blue eyes and characters with rough childhoods behind them and mysterious past. Basically, NCIS: LA is Mr. Callen for me.

Some of my favourite episodes are: Past Lives, Pusback, LD50, Callen G., Familia, Reznikov N., Matryoshka, The Chosen One, Purity

Prompts:

Case fic; I love all case fics, it’s a great bonus if they include Comescus or someone from the characters’ past. The more undercover work and spies the better ;)
Exploring Callen’s past as the agent in Russia and Eastern Europe. I also love Arkady and would love to see more about his past cooperation with Callen.
Mr. Callen undercover. What’s his alias? Who is he? (I loved loved the episode Ink in the blood from season 1 - he was the printer.)
Hurt!Callen. What happened to him this time? Is he in a hospital? Who’s putting up with him? I feel like even most of the canon injuries have been brushed upon, especially the ones after Mexico or after Spiral… And we were robbed of Callen’s recovery after the nearly fatal shooting in the NCIS LA spin-off Legend. Or you can come up with moooore original injuries. Mission fic, undercover, case fic would be an awesome background for this.
Exploring Callen’s ability to speak multiple foreign languages and maybe other talents. Is it useful for his job or is it for something else in this case? Is he learning a new language?
I just love the cagy, lone wolf Mr. Callen from the first few seasons and would like to read more about him. He trusted so few people but somehow Sam and Arkady were among them.
Sam/Callen (up to you if you omit Michelle and canon or maybe they got together after her death?) How did they start dating? What’s their relationship like? How do they balance work and private life? Is there a bit of fluff in their lives? What if Callen is injured? What is Sam doing?
5 + 1 format. Maybe mission fics, 5 times Callen was a lone wolf and solved the case and the one time he needed Sam. Or the other way around. Or something totally different.
Basically, anything Mr. Callen related would be awesome.

6. SEAL Team (TV)

Clay Spenser

Stella Baxter/Clay Spenser

Sonny Quinn & Clay Spenser

Sonny Quinn/Clay Spenser

Jason Hayes/Clay Spenser

Feel free to include other canon characters like Blackburn, Davis, Trent, Brock, Naima…

(In case of Sonny/Clay and Jason/Clay, I wouldn’t want Clay to be cheating on Stella. I’d prefer Stella just out of the picture altogether or Stella just being friends with Clay and never dating him or being a friendly ex-girlfriend)

Fandom specific DNWs: Clay's death, any references to Clay's death; mentioning the vet center; focus on canon storylines about traumatic brain injury; focus on Full Metal, Vic, Emma, Rebecca; making Ash more of a negative character than in canon

What I love about the series:

I love the brotherhood, the absolute trust, the unbreakable bond between the SEALs. The way they are so dedicated to the job and can forget all the troubles and just get the things done. I love watching these confident men who can just do anything anywhere anytime they want. I like the way they face their problems. I love it when they plan the missions. Everyone weighs in their opinion, they quickly form plans, always have a plan B.

I love Sonny & Clay’s friendship. They are so different and at the first sight, it’s an improbable friendship - and yet they are battle boos.

Season 6 episode 8 never happened. Please use canon up to S06E07. (In case you choose some fix-it scenario then references to 06x08 are ok).

Prompts:

The feeling of brotherhood.
Clay & Sonny’s friendship. They are so different and at the first sight, it’s an improbable friendship - and yet they are best friends.
The classics: case fic, mission fic, undercover work. I love it when they plan the missions. Everyone weighs in their opinion, they quickly form plans, always have a plan B.
Or it could be more fluffy and light-hearted here - cooking together, moving in together… maybe Bravo goes on vacations together.
SEAL Team is more focused on action and executing the orders but how would they fare with investigating a murder mystery?
And of course so many many hurt/comfort opportunities. What happened? Are they stranded somewhere? Will they get the help needed? (Unsurprisingly, I’d prefer hurt!Clay)
Injuries from a mission are the most expected but I’d be interested also in other ways how the poor boys could get hurt. In training? Or a “normal” car crash?
I loved everything about Manila and Clay’s injury. What if Bravo returned from the Philippines after the bombing and was there for Clay instead of Swanny? Would it lead to Clay/Sonny, Clay/Jason? Or what if Stella was there for Clay during PT?
What if “the very real possibility that your operating days will be over” the doctors kept talking about in 2x18 did happen and Clay couldn’t return to the field?
Or maybe the Manila injuries are acting up now, on top of everything else.
If you’d like to go the Clay/Sonny route, I’m in! Or Clay/Jason route! These fics are so rare T_T I’d love to know if they are hiding the relationship, when did it start, if the others noticed, how and if it influences their behaviour on spin-ups…

For Season 6:

Any of the nominated relationships/friendships under these hard circumstances.
There was a 3-month-jump in the events in episode 2 so what happened during this time, not only with Clay but the whole team?
Clay instructing the Green Team and…. Clay is such an intelligent and capable person that I can’t imagine he’ll be happy yelling at Green Team members and ramping up their fitness in the long run. Can you please find something more for him to do? He speaks nine languages wink wink
Could he be accompanying Bravo on some mission because of his unique language skills? What will this trip cause? Increase his (and Jason’s) desire for him to return to Bravo or will he make his peace with never coming back? What is Stella’s opinion?
Clay returning to Bravo.
I have to admit that I have a pretty developed fix-it AU in my mind (and in a series of fics) where Clay returns to Bravo even with a prosthetic leg. It’s the only way I’m able to deal with season 6… and I totally do get it that you might not share this view. So in this case could you please concentrate more on the earlier stages of the rehab and coming to terms with the amputation (like episode 6x2, 6x3, 6x4) instead of long-term career and life plans? (I would prefer fics that wouldn't directly contradict my head-canon in this case)
Though if you do share this view that Clay returns, I need to know everything about how it goes! In this case I'm here for alllll the fix-it fics! I’d LOVE to see Clay become Bravo 1 one day.

7. Sherlock (TV)

Mycroft Holmes & Sherlock Holmes

Mycroft Holmes & Sherlock Holmes & John Watson

Sherlock Holmes & Greg Lestrade

Sherlock Holmes & John Watson

Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Fandom specific DNW: focus on season 4 storylines

What I love about the series:

Of course I read some of the books, loved them, especially the Hound of Baskerville and then... the modern TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch spiked my interest even more ;)

I love how clever and witty the series is, how the writers managed to transfer the plot into the modern world. I like all the allusions to real world politics and people and affairs.

Prompts:

Case fic. Does everything go as usual with Sherlock being the genius and police unable to solve the case? Is Lestrade competing with Sherlock and trying to solve the case alone or do their work better together?
Case-fic from Watson’s POV as he writes his blog posts. Or maybe we get to read Sherlock’s secret diary. Is he so analytical even there? Or does he keep some field reports about cases?
Hurt/comfort. I really need to know more about Watson’s leg injury. (I really wouldn't mind if Watson had to use his cane longer and not just the first five minutes of the first episode or so ;) ) Or is it Sherlock who’s injured? What happened?
What on earth had to happen that Mycroft and Sherlock are working together?! Have they told Watson? Will they save the world/Queen/King/Great Britain/whomever else?
Sherlock and Watson in an established relationship. Are they hiding it? Does Lestrade and/or Mycroft find out?
What about oblivious genius Sherlock? How does Watson manage to get him dating ;)
One of my headcanons is that Sherlock is asexual so feel free to incorporate it into the fic.

8. The Professionals (TV 1977)

William Bodie

William Bodie/Ray Doyle

William Bodie & Ray Doyle

William Bodie/George Cowley

William Bodie & George Cowley & Ray Doyle

What I love about the series:

I like how this series focuses only on three main characters and yet so much mystery about them still remains. I like the clever plot, the banter between Doyle and Bodie and the action scenes; the often complicated investigation, spy games, sneak peeks into politics and diplomacy, and especially the cold-war atmosphere, Cowley as the master-mind…

It is so interesting to watch how Cowley, Bodie and Doyle all have different backgrounds (albeit we don’t have that much info) and it serves as believable reasoning for the different motivation, decisions and behaviour of the characters. And all the action scenes also offer so many h/c possibilities ;)

Prompts:

I just like this matter-of-fact, raw tone of the series and would love to see it in the fic too
Classic case-fic... or a case-fic with some sprinkles of Bodie/Doyle or Bodie/Cowley
Who initiated the relationship? Are they hiding it? They probably have to… but does Doyle know (for Bodie/Cowley) or does Cowley know (for Bodie/Doyle)?
Is it the first m/m relationship for either of them? If not, is there any story they can tell about their past relationships? Was their partner also an agent, a soldier?
Can we catch some smallest details revealing they are in a relationship even when they are 100 % focused on a case?
For Bodie/Cowley: Age gap! Age gap! I usually don’t see it as a problem at all but maybe some of the characters have some thoughts about it.
I’d love to get to know more about Bodie’s mysterious past. Will we meet Krivas again??
H/C, it seems that in the course of later seasons the writers forgot but there indeed is a bullet in Cowley’s leg! And the many times Bodie (or Doyle) was kicked, hit, injured and even shot? So many h/c opportunities. Who is hurt? How did it happen? Is it serious?
I love the episodes with politics, cold war, diplomats and agents playing mind games (and spy games)
Reuniting after years apart, post-canon etc. - I’d love to know what happened. Did Bodie and Doyle work for CI5 until retirement? Did one of them change his life radically? Why? What happened? How did they meet again…

SAFETY 9. The Secret of Chimneys - Agatha Christie

Anthony Cade

Anthony Cade/Virginia Revel

Anthony Cade & Inspector Battle

Anthony Cade & Hiram Fish

Anthony Cade & James McGrath

Anthony Cade & Lord Caterham

Anthony Cade & King Victor

Feel free to add other characters. Superintendant Battle, Bundle, Mr. Isaacstein, George Lomax, Baron Lolopretjzyl.... OCs....

references to canon deaths and murders are ok

You can find a free e-book on Project Gutenberg.

What I love about the book:
That it's Agatha! ;) I love everything Agatha Christie wrote, this is one of the crime novels without a famous detective and it's - in my opinion - even more exciting. I love novels where a young gentleman accidentally becomes a detective. I also love the way it's narrated, you can't be certain about anything. The suspense! And there are great descriptions of the nobility and the way of life back then.

And the non-existent country of Herzoslovakia (of course borrowing its name a bit from Czechoslovakia) I love it!

Prompts:

anything in the style of the book - prequel, sequel, missing scene, alternative investigation
just anything about Anthony ;)
fic set in the past: What did Anthony exactly do with James in Africa? What adventures was he involved in? Was he involved in some investigations or murder mysteries already in Africa?!
or, on the other hand, future fic: How's his life with Virginia in Herzoslovakia?
What if Anthony did in fact know King Victor more closely than presented in the book? Was he trying to catch him in the past or did he work for him? Alongside him?
Maybe Anthony got quickly bored in Herzoslovakia and is now helping out Mr. Fish. What cases are they working on?
Or is Anthony helping superintendent Battle? Maybe he’s undercover. Maybe he has to do some favour to Battle so that he lets him go (as not all of Anthony’s actions were strictly by the law, right?)
Some sort of improbable disaster happened, of course to Lord Caterham. What is Anthony doing?
hurt!Anthony, I just love h/c

SAFETY 10. Why didn’t they ask Evans? (TV 2022)

Bobby Jones

Frances “Frankie” Derwent

Frances “Frankie” Derwent & Bobby Jones

Frances “Frankie” Derwent/Bobby Jones

Bobby Jones & James Nicholson

Feel free to add other canon or original characters.

You can find the series on ITV - for free if you register and are or appear to be in the UK.

What I love about the series:

That it’s classic Agatha! We don’t meet any famous detectives here but it’s in my opinion even better. We have young amateur detectives here, determined, adventurous, a bit naive. We have a murder mystery. Plot set among the rich ladies and gentlemen. Mysterious accidents and characters. The suspense!

Hugh Laurie adapted the book for the TV, he directed the series and played Dr. Nicholson. And he did all of this so amazingly well that I’m in awe.

Prompts:

Anything in the style of the series - prequel, sequel, missing scene, alternative investigation - What if the man didn’t die but had amnesia and didn’t even ask the key question? What if Bobby didn’t let Frankie crash the car and sneak to the Basington-ffrenchs?
Case fic - Frankie, Bobby or Frankie and Bobby investigating another mystery.
Future fic - what happens after the series ends?
Or fic set in the past - maybe Frankie already secretly investigated a mystery among the nobility or Bobby - surprisingly - solved a case while in the Navy.
Doctor Nicholson gets in trouble - maybe because of one of his patients - and Bobby helps him out.
hurt!Bobby, I just love h/c
In case you’ve also read the book and are into meta - I’d love to read something about the differences and similarities of the book and the TV series, maybe even get a glimpse on Hugh Laurie how he writes and rewrites the script.

Thank you for writing a fic for me.
