vamp_ressThanks for your patience! After driving 2400km during the last two weeks in order to move three unbroken/unhandled foals, I'm now back home, exhausted and relieved that everything went according to plan. Anyways, back to the boys. Where did we leave them yesterday?
Title: The Madhouse
Author: Michelle
Email: michelle [at] waking-vision.com
Fandom: LotRPS
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.
