Unfortunately, the Dreamwidth Importer can no longer import communities, so I can no longer maintain this community as a mirror of the Livejournal site. My understanding is that Livejournal is now blocking imports of this type.
Writers: If you would like your post to appear in both community sites you will need to make two separate posts.
Readers: Many of the links in this community will lead you to deleted Livejournal accounts, however, some authors imported their fics to Dreamwidth before leaving LJ so you may find the story you seek here using the format 'authorname.dreamwidth.org'.
Good luck.

Summary: Viggo doesn’t need a first mate, he just needs to have one. OR: A story in which Viggo flies a space ship and listens to 1980s synth-pop – both at the same time. Orlando finds this funny, interesting and sexy.
Pairing: Viggo/Orlando
Genre: slash, scifi
Warnings: AU
Rating: Explicit
Disclaimer: I’m confident that this is exactly what will happen to those two in the distant future. Or it will happen to people who share their names, I promise!
Author’s Note: I was reading a (rather bad) rent!boy story, which caused me to feel a definite need for doing my own version of the trope. For some reason, I wanted this to take place in the 1980s. And through some inexplicable twist of fate I suddenly found myself on a space ship. I truly have no idea how that happened, because I don’t like scifi and I have no idea how the genre actually works. That said: Welcome to this strange scifi/1980s story in which Viggo is basically a truck driver in space who picks up Orlando at a bar. And yes, that’s already the entirety of the plot. The playlist for this story is up on YouTube, in case you want to listen along while reading.

The Madhouse 31/31 - FINISHED!
May. 31st, 2026 11:41 amvamp_ressWelcome to the final chapter of this story. As always, it has been a lot of fun - even if I will probably never post something daily again *phrew*. Thank you for reading along. I enjoyed reading your comments and the personal stories the story sparked. And for whoever might have been waiting for this to be finished - there you go! Feel free to binge this to your heart's delight.
Somehow, Viggorli never gets old for me. And it gives me so much joy to find that I'm not alone with that feeling *hearts*!

Summary: Viggo is a consultant in one of the busiest A&E departments in London. Orlando is just starting out as a resident and quite obviously Viggo hates his guts. Or does he?
Pairing: Viggo/Orlando
Genre: slash
Warnings: AU. This story takes place in a hospital, so please expect needles, monitors that beep and the occasional blood-splatter. And yes, patients might die. If it’s any consolation: This is more “Grey’s Anatomy” than it is “The Pitt”.
Rating: Explicit
Disclaimer: I’m sure many people are called Viggo or Orlando. But I can promise that I don’t know any of them. (And that’s a shame.)
Author’s Note I: This is a very late entry for 2025’s Medwhumpmay. The prompt sheet can be found here. And while this story contains a bit of whump and h/c the main focus is the character dynamics. I started writing this having no more than the premise for the first chapter and the authorial voice. I love to research and I love to make the backdrop of my stories as realistic as possible. But maybe it’s better if you imagine that my evil twin wrote this story. The idea here was to explore a different version of V/O. I never planned on the story getting this long and elaborate. Initially, this was simply a palate cleanser that I wrote in-between; research and accuracy weren’t exactly at the forefront. Which is to say: I apologise to everyone working in the medical field. I know this is not how foundation training works. And I know this has basically zero in common with the inner workings of the NHS. Just roll with it. This one was written for funsies!
Author’s Note II: This story was heavily inspired by me binging “24 Hours in A&E”. That show is actually where the title comes from. Some episodes inspired chapters in this story. And even if the story doesn’t come with my usual level of research the medical facts and procedures are as accurate as I could make them (as an ordinary person without – and I say it again – any background in medicine). I’ve added a cheat sheet with terminology/definitions for everyone who likes that sort of thing. However, all explanations necessary to make sense of the plot are within the story. The cheat sheet is a bonus, you don’t have to use it. And anyways, the hospital is only the backdrop of the story, the boys are the main attraction. Feel free to let the medical language wash over you without understanding a word of it.

Author’s Note I: This is a very late entry for 2025’s Medwhumpmay. The prompt sheet can be found here. And while this story contains a bit of whump and h/c the main focus is the character dynamics. I started writing this having no more than the premise for the first chapter and the authorial voice. I love to research and I love to make the backdrop of my stories as realistic as possible. But maybe it’s better if you imagine that my evil twin wrote this story. The idea here was to explore a different version of V/O. I never planned on the story getting this long and elaborate. Initially, this was simply a palate cleanser that I wrote in-between; research and accuracy weren’t exactly at the forefront. Which is to say: I apologise to everyone working in the medical field. I know this is not how foundation training works. And I know this has basically zero in common with the inner workings of the NHS. Just roll with it. This one was written for funsies!
Author’s Note II: This story was heavily inspired by me binging “24 Hours in A&E”. That show is actually where the title comes from. Some episodes inspired chapters in this story. And even if the story doesn’t come with my usual level of research the medical facts and procedures are as accurate as I could make them (as an ordinary person without – and I say it again – any background in medicine). I’ve added a cheat sheet with terminology/definitions for everyone who likes that sort of thing. However, all explanations necessary to make sense of the plot are within the story. The cheat sheet is a bonus, you don’t have to use it. And anyways, the hospital is only the backdrop of the story, the boys are the main attraction. Feel free to let the medical language wash over you without understanding a word of it.

Summary: Viggo is a consultant in one of the busiest A&E departments in London. Orlando is just starting out as a resident and quite obviously Viggo hates his guts. Or does he?
Pairing: Viggo/Orlando
Genre: slash
Warnings: AU. This story takes place in a hospital, so please expect needles, monitors that beep and the occasional blood-splatter. And yes, patients might die. If it’s any consolation: This is more “Grey’s Anatomy” than it is “The Pitt”.

May. 21st, 2026 07:23 amvamp_ressIf I'm not totally mistaken, this is the longest chapter of the story. However, I promise that things will start to look up by the end of it. Stick with it, it'll all turn out okay! Also, a heads-up again: I'm travelling today and tomorow. It's likely that tomorrow's chapter will drop later than normal. Don't worry, I'll get around to it eventually :)
And now, enjoy. Lot's of h/c ahead for those of you who like this kind of stuff!

Summary: Viggo is a consultant in one of the busiest A&E departments in London. Orlando is just starting out as a resident and quite obviously Viggo hates his guts. Or does he?
Pairing: Viggo/Orlando
Genre: slash
Warnings: AU. This story takes place in a hospital, so please expect needles, monitors that beep and the occasional blood-splatter. And yes, patients might die. If it’s any consolation: This is more “Grey’s Anatomy” than it is “The Pitt”.
Rating: Explicit
Disclaimer: I’m sure many people are called Viggo or Orlando. But I can promise that I don’t know any of them. (And that’s a shame.)
Author’s Note I: This is a very late entry for 2025’s Medwhumpmay. The prompt sheet can be found here. And while this story contains a bit of whump and h/c the main focus is the character dynamics. I started writing this having no more than the premise for the first chapter and the authorial voice. I love to research and I love to make the backdrop of my stories as realistic as possible. But maybe it’s better if you imagine that my evil twin wrote this story. The idea here was to explore a different version of V/O. I never planned on the story getting this long and elaborate. Initially, this was simply a palate cleanser that I wrote in-between; research and accuracy weren’t exactly at the forefront. Which is to say: I apologise to everyone working in the medical field. I know this is not how foundation training works. And I know this has basically zero in common with the inner workings of the NHS. Just roll with it. This one was written for funsies!
Author’s Note II: This story was heavily inspired by me binging “24 Hours in A&E”. That show is actually where the title comes from. Some episodes inspired chapters in this story. And even if the story doesn’t come with my usual level of research the medical facts and procedures are as accurate as I could make them (as an ordinary person without – and I say it again – any background in medicine). I’ve added a cheat sheet with terminology/definitions for everyone who likes that sort of thing. However, all explanations necessary to make sense of the plot are within the story. The cheat sheet is a bonus, you don’t have to use it. And anyways, the hospital is only the backdrop of the story, the boys are the main attraction.

May. 13th, 2026 07:37 amvamp_ressI'm travelling tomorrow and on Friday. I should be able to get the chapters 14 and 15 up on AO3 at least, but if for some reason chapters don't drop at their usual time or they don't appear at all - that's why. In this case I probably don't have the time, the opportunity or the WIFI to post the chapters. Don't worry, I'll catch up!
