Summary
Will Halstead is the kind of doctor who can outwork pain, outpace fear, and ignore every warning sign his body throws at him—until one night in the Chicago Med ED, exhaustion finally wins the argument. He shows up running on cold coffee and sheer willpower, still saving patients and holding the line, even as his focus slips and the floor starts to feel a little too close.
When Will ducks away for what he swears will be “ten minutes,” a simple mistake in a hospital that never sleeps sets off a chain reaction he can’t control. And when he wakes up in a place no living person is supposed to be, he’s forced to do the one thing he’s worst at: stop, breathe, and let someone else fight for him.
A tense, claustrophobic, heartbeat-loud survival story about burnout, human error, and the terrifying cost of believing you’re only valuable when you’re useful.

Summary
After a routine self-defence drill goes wrong, Special Agent Tim McGee is back at NCIS—armed with a stubborn streak, a painfully complicated immobilizer, and the growing suspicion that the universe has it out for left-handers. Benched from the field, he’s forced to fight a different battle: rebuilding confidence one awkward, one-handed day at a time while his team fusses, argues, and—unhelpfully—hovers. As fresh cases ignite and tensions spark in the bullpen, McGee must prove he’s still indispensable from behind a desk… and survive his coworkers’ “help” long enough to heal.

Summary
That morning, the shower felt like an interrogation light. Too bright. Too loud. Too honest. He scrubbed his hair, face tipped down, trying to shake off the heaviness in his bones. TK was still in bed, half wrapped in the sheet like a burrito, one arm flung out as if he could keep hold of Carlos even in sleep. Carlos rinsed, reached down without thinking—just the automatic check, the way you notice your own body without looking at it— And froze. His fingers paused on something that didn’t belong. Not pain exactly. Not even a clear lump at first—more like a firm little bead that made his stomach drop like he’d missed a step. He tried again. Pressed lightly. Then a little harder. It was real.
