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.

Thanks 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?

If 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!

I'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!

New Fic: The Madhouse 1/31

2026-05-01T08:41:18Z

Posted by: vamp_ress

Welcome to May! Over here, in Germany, the weather is absolutely fantastic. But before I leave on a little hike I wanted to share the first chapter of a new story with you. The Madhouse was conceived and written during the last twelve months using the prompts from medwhumpmay. I started writing this without ~~a clear~~ any plot outline, which is very unusual for me. The general idea was for this story to be a palate cleanser for the Library AU. I wanted something with a distinctly different authorial voice and with a distinctly different version of V/O. The following story is the result of that desire. And while the fic gets a little more serious in later chapters (the event was called Medwhump May, after all), my goal was to preserve the fun and quirky tone without sacrificing character arc.

To stay in the spirit of Medwhump May this story will reach you in daily chapters all through the month. That is, if I can keep it up (don't worry, the story is finished). If for some reason, life gets in the way and you don't see a new chapter here, head over to AO3. It's all pre-posted there and I only have to click a button. I hope I can at least manage that even if life gets hectic.

The Madhouse is 70.000 words long, but because I had to hit the daily prompts chapter lengths vary wildly. The shortest chapter is under 1000 words, the longest almost 6000. Which means you'll get shorter and longer bits :)

And now, without further ado, here is the first chapter of this story. Enjoy! And let me know what you think :)

I am back with an offering! This is a little teaser fic for a multi-chaptered story that will start posting in May. You can look forward to 70.000 words and chapters will drop daily (I hope I manage to post daily - this is quite time-consuming). I'm not going to spoil the plot for you apart from the tidbits that are in the teaser, but I hope you'll drop by in May!
