Fics like Destruction

Prompt: Dr. Foster tries to convince Nurse Phinney to let him have morphine. He starts out trying to charm her into it. When that doesn’t work his desperation becomes evident. ***** Mary has a fair amount of experience in flirting; she was married, after all. What's more, she's a nurse, and that should speak for itself. The majority of the soldiers are perfectly gentlemanly, of course, but it's not uncommon for a cocky, young private to make an inappropriate comment once in a while. All this, Mary can (and has) dealt with. It makes sense to her. There's reasons behind these men's behaviors: in the early days of her and Gustav's courtship, it was love. Now, for the soldiers, it is loneliness. This foreknowledge allows her to recognize Dr. Foster's odd behavior as an unexpected advance. The problem is that she cannot understand his motives in the slightest. This is when Foster pauses in front of the supply closet door, and everything clicks into place. "Good Lord," she can't help scoffing, slightly shocked at his nerve. "Doctor Foster, did you really imagine you could... seduce me into providing you with drugs?"
