lirazel: Alice from Luther in her knit cap ([tv] the mind is its own place)
([personal profile] lirazel Oct. 27th, 2025 08:45 am)
Hey, I woke up at 2:30 this morning and wrote something really fucked up, and I am just stupidly proud of it!

denouement (500 words) by Lirazel
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Pitt (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Melissa "Mel" King/Frank Langdon, Melissa "Mel" King & Frank Langdon
Characters: Frank Langdon
Additional Tags: tagging both / and & because i honestly don't know, Hurt No Comfort, Angst, Just angst, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, POV Second Person, there is nothing but bleakness here, You Have Been Warned, addiction is a helluva drug
Summary:

Santos takes longer to put two and two together. It gives Langdon enough time to increase the collateral damage.

[Or: exactly 500 words of how it could have been]

 

rounding the bases, we're headed for home (47406 words) by Lirazel
Chapters: 6/6
Fandom: The Pitt (TV)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Melissa "Mel" King/Frank Langdon
Characters: Melissa "Mel" King, Frank Langdon, The Pitt (TV) Ensemble, Trinity Santos, Samira Mohan
Additional Tags: Post-Season/Series 01, Divorced Frank Langdon, Developing Relationship, Demisexuality, Loss of Virginity, i don't think mel is a virgin but i'm writing this anyway, mel accidentally cockblocks herself, by underestimating how horny she'll be for frank, meanwhile he's just trying to be a gentleman, horndog!mel, horny virgin rights, body image stuff, cliche baseball metaphors, (apologies to the non-americans), if i was very cheesy i would subtitle this 'or how mel king hit her first home run', but i'm not THAT cheesy, mel knows what she wants and frank is going to give it to her, basically mel is a rollercoaster and frank is just along for the ride, just so much talking about sex and sexuality, and what people want and why, alan alda is the secret guest star
Series: Part 2 of batting 1.000
Summary:
“I want to, uh, cover all the bases, which I know is a silly metaphor, but I think I’m beginning to understand it now, and I don’t want to skip any of them, I know theoretically how they all work, but it might take me a while to master them, and I want to make sure that I’m competent at each thing before we do the next thing, but I already know I want to do the next thing and the next thing because, Frank, I want you so badly that sometimes I think I’m going into cardiac arrest.” She stops abruptly, a little breathless from the string of words and from realizing what she just said and how wide Frank’s eyes have gone.
 
Mel really did think she wanted to take it slow. Turns out she didn't know herself at all.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Summary:

Frank.”

The name isn’t loud, especially in the rising din of the ER, but something about the raw terror in it makes Jessa’s heart leap. She spins around to look at Dr. King, and finds that her face is so white that Jessa reaches out unconsciously to grab her by the arms and steady her. She remembers just in time that Dr. King doesn’t like to be touched except by a very few people (Dr. Landgon, Dr. Mohan, occasionally Dr. Santos) and she jerks her hands back.

“Dr. King? Are you okay?”

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Summary:

She keeps her head down, focuses on work and Becca and studying for boards, and all the time, she’s thinking of Emily.

Mel had thought she was so pretty and cool, the first time Dad brought her to dinner. Emily wasn’t the only guest—there had been at least two other grad students invited, too, but Mel only remembers Emily’s red-brown hair tumbling over her shoulders, the hazel eyes that looked almost as big as an anime character’s, the way she talked with her hands about the Victorian novels that lined the bookshelves in Dad’s study. After dinner, Mel and Becca had agreed that Emily looked like a Disney princess, and when Becca said something about it a few days later to Mom, Mel didn’t understand why Mom’s laughter was brittle.

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.
