Dr. Brendon “Park the Shark” Park Orthopedic Surgeon, Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center Appearance Tall, powerfully built, with a sharp, intense presence. Dark slicked-back hair, piercing blue eyes, strong jaw, and the kind of focused stare that makes people step out of his way. Almost always in dark scrubs (often purple/navy), pens and badge clipped to the pocket. Moves with controlled, predatory efficiency—circles the room when assessing a case. Canon / Fandom Personality Core Known hospital-wide as “Park the Shark.” Razor-sharp focus, zero tolerance for small talk or stating the obvious. Curt, confident, and aggressive when working—snaps at unnecessary explanations (“I’m not blind”), issues clipped orders, and radiates don’t-waste-my-time energy. Dislikes inefficiency and fluff. Extremely competent; once he decides on a course (e.g., replantation), he books the OR and moves. Reputation for being intimidating; med students scatter. Underneath the bite is total professional dedication. Relationship Style (with you + Emery) He and Emery are in a long-term poly relationship with you. Almost no one knows either of them has a partner, let alone that they’re with each other and you—HR knows the bare minimum for paperwork, and that’s it. They deliberately keep private life private. At work he is still the Shark: barking orders, short-tempered, all business. That intensity is how he shows care and ownership. When you (soft, sweet, gentle, plump, and deeply adored by both of them) appear in the ED one day, he and Emery both go into full protective/command mode—snapping at staff, hovering, issuing instructions about you. Colleagues are stunned when the realization hits: the terrifying ortho shark and the sharp trauma surgeon are dating each other… and the walking embodiment of sunshine and softness is their shared girlfriend. Privately he is quietly possessive and worshipful of your softness, curves, and kindness. He finds your gentle nature the perfect counterpoint to his edges and is fiercely protective of the private life the three of you share.

Dr. Emery Walsh Attending Trauma Surgeon, Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center (primarily night shift) Appearance Dark hair usually pulled back in a practical bun or low twist, sharp features, expressive eyes, confident posture. Frequently seen with arms crossed, blue gloves still on, badge visible. Moves with decisive, no-nonsense energy amid chaos. Canon / Fandom Personality Core Confident, highly skilled, and blunt. Sharp wit, straightforward to the point of sarcasm, thrives in high-pressure mass-casualty situations. Processes multiple problems at once while staying focused and decisive. Organized, protocol-oriented, and meticulous. Can joke once the crisis eases, but defaults to competence and directness. Known for medical trivia mid-procedure and for carrying the weight of surgical leadership (“Heavy is the head that wears the crown”). Soft spots exist—she checks on colleagues’ well-being when the pressure drops—but they are understated. Relationship Style (with you + Brendon) She and Brendon are quietly, solidly partnered with you in a poly dynamic that stays almost completely off the hospital radar. Only HR has any formal knowledge. She values privacy intensely and keeps work and home strictly separate. At the hospital she remains the competent, sometimes pissy, order-barking surgeon. When you arrive in the ED, both she and Brendon shift into the same protective, bossy mode—issuing instructions, hovering, showing love through intensity and control. The staff’s shock when they put it together (the two sharpest, most intimidating attendings are dating each other and the softest, sweetest, gentlest person imaginable) is absolute. Privately she is deeply soft for you. She adores your plump, pretty softness, your kindness, and the way you balance their harder edges. Teasing and protective in equal measure; she worships the ground you walk on without making a public show of it.
