Oh!!! Oh!!! SO lovely! I can hardly breathe. Just love the way he gently pulls her closer and closer to him.

ER (1994-2009) 12.14 — Quintessence of Dust

[chasingstardustandmoonbeams]

can you please write #25 off your winter prompts with john carter? thank you for writing for him 🫶

A/N: In my head this takes anywhere pre-season 8. First ER fic! I am super stoked about it. Because ER is so old and such a small fandom I really don't expect this one to get any traction. It was more for me than anything else. HOWEVER, if anyone has any other requests for ER for John or anyone else, I'd be happy to do them

To  say you were fed up would be an understatement. All day Romano had been on your case about “not pulling your weight” - which had been followed by an off handed remark about your weight. 

The asshole. 

Now you were going to end your year how it started - alone and annoyed. 

Romano had asked you to restock supplies for the suture trays, and with your luck, you’d managed to get yourself locked into the old supply closet. 

It had been at least forty minutes and no one had found you. You could hear the faint thumping of the music that Jerry had proudly curated. You’d long given up calling for help - no one could hear you with the music playing loudly in the background. 

You sat on the floor, your back resting against the supply rack. You looked up at the ceiling, absentmindedly thinking about all the ways your New Year’s Eve could have gone. 

The faint click of the door had your full attention. Your eyes widening, you watched as Carter searched the room until his eyes landed on you on the floor. 

“Hey, we’ve been looking all over for-” 

“The door, Carter!” You yelled, leaping at him. It was too late, in concern he’d stepped towards you, the door slamming behind him. 

“What the-” he started, turning to try and open the door. 

You let out a sigh, sliding back down onto the floor. 

“I’ve been locked in here for nearly an hour,” you groaned, dropping your head in your hands. 

“Ah,” he simply said. 

“That’s all you have to say?” 

“Just about,” he let out a laugh, sliding down to sit next to you. “It’s kind of nice though, isn’t it? The quiet I mean.” 

You turned your head to look at him. He was smiling at you in that boyish way that made your heart race. 

“I’d appreciate it more if it wasn’t nearly midnight,” you mumbled. 

“Oh, had a big date did you?” He teased, his shoulder knocking against yours. 

You found yourself smiling despite yourself. “I’ll have you know, Mr. Jameson just proposed to me.” 

“Right, you and seventy-five year old Mr. Jameson are going to make such a lovely couple.” Carter rolled his eyes, a wide grin spread across his face. 

“Green is an ugly color on you, Carter,” you let out a laugh. 

John let out a breathy laugh, his smiler growing smaller as he turned his attention to the floor. He glanced at his watch. 

“What time is it?” 

“Uh,” Carter spared another glance at his watch, “ten til midnight.” 

You gave him a silent nod in reply. You felt yourself growing anxious. You weren’t sure why, you never felt more at ease than when you were with John. He had that way about him. Easy going and comforting. Everything with him just felt…natural. 

“Did you-” John’s voice cracked. 

You turned to look at him, eyebrows knitting together. 

“Did you have plans tonight?” He asked. 

“No,” you paused, “I thought I’d just drag through my shift like normal. I didn’t expect Romano to inadvertently get me stuck in a storage closet.” 

John’s eyes studied you. You wanted so badly to squirm under his gaze, but you held your ground. 

“Did you?” 

John let out a laugh, “No, just uh. I mean, Gamma tried to get me to do a charity fundraiser, but I’d rather be here honestly.” 

“Really, Carter? You’d rather be locked in a storage closet with me?” You let out a bubbly laugh. 

“Yeah, actually. I would.” 

Your laughing slowly died out as you looked at him. Carter’s smile only grew at your reaction. 

“John, you can’t mean that,” you said softly. 

“I think I’ll be the judge of that,” he smiled down at you. 

You held each other’s gaze. It was quiet now, the thrumming of the music was only faint to you know. 

Your heart hammering against your chest, you felt your breath catch in your throat. 

Shouting in the hallways caused you to jump. The countdown had started. 

“What do you say?” Carter was already closing the distance between you both, his nose gently brushing against your own. 

You could hear cheers down the hall. With a smile and your heart in your throat, you closed the distance between you. 

John reached out to cup your cheek pulling you close. Kissing John Carter was gentle and warm. Comforting and all consuming. 

“There you both - oh!” 

You and John broke apart to see Susan trying to bite down her grin. 

“Uh, Romano is looking for you,” She smiled down at you. “Carter, Weaver’s looking for you.” 

“Right,” he said breathlessly. 

Susan held the door open for you both, she mouthed a silent sorry to you before walking back down the hallway. 

“Well, uh,” John swallowed. 

Pulling him down by his tie, you gave him another kiss. John let out a small sigh before you pulled away. 

“Find me after your shift?” You whispered against his lips. 

“God, yes,” he replied, his cheeks slightly red.

You let out a small breathy laugh. “Happy New Year’s, John.” 

John smiled broadly at you, that boyish teasing look back on his face, “Happy New Year’s”

“Alright, people fun is over! Time is money! Get back to work. It’s a wonder how this place manages to run at all!” 

You rolled your eyes at Romano’s shouting. You spared John one more look before you grabbed your suture supplies and headed towards Romano’s shouting. A smile spread clear across your face, the ghost of John’s kiss still pressed against your lips.

michael crichton wanted us to pretend like this wasnt clearly meant to be gay sex and that the cut between scenes wasnt meant to convey the fact they just had gay sex

- Mookie helping out in the surgery

-The new surgeon coming in and everyone immediately accepting her presence

-Haleh singing to the child

And my favourite

- Linda seeing the annoying temp struggling and she just picks up a phone and begins working, and even orders pizza

Carter spends this entire episode reenacting trains, planes, and automobiles to get to Abby.

There is not a moment of his shift, that he is not coming up with a plan to get there as fast as possible.

He is too good for this world.

For the young people on this app wondering how their hyperfixations will go when they are older, I have a little tale.

When I was young I started watching ER with my parents. We rarely watched TV and this was quite unusual for us as a family. But I fell in love with the show.

I became fixated on John Carter, the young intern who grows and becomes a great doctor as the show goes on. (And on, and on)

If I knew what hurt/comfort fanfic was back then I would have 100% been writing it. In Season 6 (iirc), I had just moved out at 17 and was on my own and actually had a viewing party for Thursday night TV with friends. His character gets stabbed and I had to desperately pretend to be normal about it and then was trembling for 3 days afterwards because the scene overwhelmed me so much.

The feelings eventually faded and I moved on to other characters, but whenever I saw Noah Wyle in anything I’d always smile and in my head go hey, it’s John Carter!! And then forget about it.

Now I’m a burnt-out mom of a medium support child who has finally figured out and been diagnosed as neurodivergent myself.

I have no energy and barely engage with or watch any media right now.

Well, I saw on social media about a new doctor show called The Pitt. And miraculously, I actually had the mental energy to try a new show and I’ve been looking for something to replace 9-1-1.

I didn’t even know it starred Noah Wyle until I saw the thumbnail. I thought huh, that’s pretty cool and was entirely unprepared for the feelings.

Oh.

My

God

it’s like watching the burnt-out middle-aged version of my beloved John Carter!!!

And it’s so unbelievably perfect for me at this stage of my life, where I am the burnt-out middle-aged version of my young, naive self.

Whoever cast Noah Wyle as the head of the ER department was absolutely BRILLIANT.

I was actually excited to watch the new episode, which even airs on Thursday nights 😭😭😭

(imagine if they brought Dr. Benson back as, like, the hospital head. I would die, I loved their dynamic!!)

All I can ask is that the new show please don’t stab this character, I don’t need to be retraumatized

So kids, I hope for you that when you are my age that your current comfort characters somehow come back in a new form and in a way perfect for your stage of life ❤️

(( OMG there’s YouTube playlist of the original ER storyline, I haven’t watched it since it aired 😳😳))

[eveningspirit]

Hey The Pitt and ER fans. :) I'm wondering if any of you remember an episode of ER, where John Carter was saving people outside of the ER. Like an EMS ride-along, or in some multiple injuries crisis. Not when he was a civilian and accidentally happened to encounter someone in need, but rather as a part of his job.

Not sure such episode even exists, but who else am I supposed to ask, right? ;)

could you maybe do winter prompt 8 with john carter? maybe not eating the dough (maybe the reader could sneak a few bites before he gets Concerned), but just general, playful fighting with the ingredients (e.g. flour, since it's such a messy pain in the-) and the like?

i'll thank you a thousand times over if it's possible !!!

Sorry this took a bit longer than I had intended. I hope you still enjoy it! Here’s to hoping more people watch The Pitt and then start watching ER! I’m always here if you have another John request 💕

You never claimed to be a patient person. In fact the concept of delayed gratification was practically null and void to you. Why wait when you could have it now and enjoy it just the same?

This of course was the only thought in your brain as you zeroed in on the cookie dough. John was busy trying to measure the flour for the next batch to pay you too much attention. Leaning against the counter you looked down at the freshly mixed bowel in front of you. It called to you like a siren of sugar. 

Grabbing a nearby spoon, you scooped up a bit of the dough before eating it. Closing your eyes you savored the taste. John was a lot of things, but expert baker was not something you would have pinned him down for. But oh, did he know what he was doing. 

“I know I did not just see you eat some of the raw cookie dough.” 

You turned wide eyed to John. He was trying his hardest to give you a stern look, but he was failing miserably. His arms crossed over his chest and a dish rag hanging from his shoulder, he tried his best to give you a disappointed look, but the smile tugging on the corner of his mouth told a different story. 

“And what if you did?” You prodded, a wide grin plastering across your face. 

John couldn’t fight the smile on his face any more. He rolled his eyes at you, placing the cup of flour on the counter. He leaned closer to you now, readjusting his sweater sleeves to sit more comfortably above his elbows. 

“You know better than to eat raw cookie dough,” he sighed before a laugh escaped him. His brown eyes were trained only on you now. Warm and playful, the quintessential John Carter.  

“Yeah, but it looked so good, John, I couldn’t help myself,” you reasoned, “Besides how was I supposed to know you were such a good- no - great baker?” 

John’s face flushed at your words, “Don’t try and sweet talk your way out of this.” He stood tall in front of you, swallowing a bit to steady his nerves. 

“Me? Sweet talk? John Carter, I would never. I speak only the truth.” You enjoyed watching the blush creep up his neck as you leaned closer towards him. 

“Oh, you do, do you?” He was grinning at you now. He raised his eyebrows at you, challenging you. 

“Mhmm,” you replied. Your smile only growing more broad. “Your hands aren’t just good for saving lives.” 

John let out a laugh at that, shaking his head at you as he looked down at the floor. 

“Really, you have a whole other career opportunity waiting for you. Maybe then you’ll let me enjoy a few harmless spoonfuls of cookie dough.” 

“You’re something else, you know that?” He let out another low laugh. 

 “John?” You whispered, leaning in closer towards him. 

“Yeah?” He asked, his face drawing closer to yours. 

“I loaf you,” you breathed out before dropping the cup of flour over his head. You blinked as the flour rained down on you, but you recovered quickly letting out a laugh. Grabbing the bowl of dough and running. 

“Hey!” John yelled after you, chasing you around the kitchen into the living room. 

John caught you by your waist, both of you managing to lose your footing in the process and tumbling gracelessly on the floor. 

The bowl tumbled to the floor, the dough still clinging to the side of the bowl. John was sprawled on the floor next to you, his face and hair covered in flour. 

“Did you just say you loaf me?” He laughed breathlessly. 

“Yes, I do. I loaf you John,” you laughed, “You really know how to whisk me off my feet.” 

“Oh God, that was worse,” he let another laugh. 

“You loaf it,” you smirked back at him, savoring John’s carefree attitude.  The week had been so hard on him at County, you were just happy to see the smile return to his face.

“I do, I loaf it,” he hummed, his face inches from yours, “But I love you more.” 

It was your turn to feel flush now, John’s nose nudging against yours before he kissed you. It was slow and soft. As if John wanted to truly relish in the moment. 

As John pulled away, you let out a sigh, “You’re lucky I love you to get all that flour all over me,” you teased. 

“Oh, you? You’re worried about the flour?” He laughed lowly. “Gee, I wonder whose fault that is.” John rubbed his cheek against yours smearing flour across your face. 

“John!” you squeaked out between laughter. 

John held you by the waist on the floor as he climbed on top of you. He shook out his hair raining flour down on top of you. 

There lying helpless on the floor you cemented that there was nowhere on Earth you would rather be.
