Fics like I Was a Lonely Soul, But That’s the Old Me

Neil Melendez is effortlessly cool, naturally cynical, and got to where he was in his career through hard work and determination. According to him, that unfortunately also meant cultivating a tough, aloof exterior with no room for silly sentimentality, or inconvenient complications to his carefully ordered life. Shaun Murphy is exceptionally perceptive, infuriatingly logical, and the new star hire of St. Bonaventure Hospital, bringing much initially unwanted chaos into the Surgery Department and Neil's professional life, and forcing him to reconsider what he thinks he knows about people who see the world differently. Their approaches to medicine are wildly different; their approaches to human connection even more so. Forced into professional proximity, the two headstrong doctors inadvertently clash. But when disagreement and begrudging tolerance gives way to acceptance, and then to something gentler neither of them ever expected, Neil must confront what it means that Shaun is someone who truly knows and sees him.
