Fics like Worked For All We Have

Mary drew her awareness to the way her shoulders relaxed and her heart rate slowed as she dutifully performed the sham effort of joining the back of the long line to the counter. It didn’t seem to matter that she was always dressed in unflattering bright blue scrubs, or that she wore a garish surgical cap featuring Bluey characters, Tom reliably caught her eye, gave her a slow, admiring wink, and set about prioritising the order he knew by heart over the demands of all the other waiting customers. Dr Mary Bennet, paediatric trauma surgeon, knew of only one source of reprieve for the heavy burden she daily bore in the operating theatre - the kind eyes and easy charm of the Irish barista at Cup & Clover, the hospital café. (Someone who has worked for all he has and made a success of himself would surely be far more attractive to a current-day career woman than some manchild with a trust-fund.) Hence I give you the Surgeon/Barista AU you never knew you needed.
