Summary
She brought every case she could to him and threw herself into each emergency at his side with unmistakable enthusiasm, as though she genuinely wanted to work with him. As though, somehow, she actually enjoyed being around him. For fleeting moments, it almost felt as if what they were doing wasn’t work at all, but something she had chosen to share with him specifically.
And Frank loved to work with her. She was perceptive and analytical, but she also carried a strong emotional leadership that allowed her to notice things others would overlook. In the middle of the turbulence of his own life, Frank found it refreshing to watch someone move with such determination without a trace of arrogance.Or
Frank Langdon realizing he doesn't need to be perfect to be good. And he doesn't need to be good to be loved by Mel.

Summary
People weren’t always patient; it’s just a matter of fact she’s come to accept, as easily as the sky is blue. People weren’t always generous — with their time, much less with their attention — and Mel’s grown accustomed to the exasperated raise of eyebrows whenever her rambles cross the Too Much line.
She’s used to it.
Frank, though—
She hadn’t accounted for Frank.
Or, Mel’s an unstoppable force trying to get over her feelings, and Frank’s an immovable object who won’t let her.

Summary
“I love used books,” she proffers, eager to be a normal person. “I love when books have a story.”
“Well, I’d say if a book doesn’t have a story, it’s a pretty sad excuse for a book.”
Mel can’t help herself—she snorts. “I didn’t realize you owned the shop,” Mel says quickly, embarrassed. “That must be nice—”
“Yeah, it is,” Frank answers distractedly. “I’m sorry, I’m pretty sure I just saw two time Emmy award winning actress Mel King snort at a joke I made.”
So he really did know her, then, wow.
“Well I’m not sure anyone will believe you,” she jokes lightly.
“Yeah,” Frank breathes, his eyes roving over her face in a stunned sort of awe. “I don’t think anyone will.”
Or, the Kingdon Notting Hill AU :)

Summary
“Boo, you’re no fun, Melissa.” He pulled the end of her braid.
“I’m trying to make sure you’ll make it to your thirties, Francis.”
“Oh, c’mon, Melly Belly.” He tilted his head to the side, that stupid James Dean smile on his face. “You and I both know I’m not making to my thirties.”

Summary
Actually, Mel's excited about a lot of things going into the new school year. She’s excited to co-teach with Dr. Mohan and Mr. Langdon. She’s excited to continue supporting the kids on her caseload from the previous year, and she knows writing their IEPs will go so much better now that she knows them and their families a little. She’s excited that her Physics class will be entirely made up of students she taught in Chemistry the previous year; they were a great group.
There are things to worry about, too. Co-teaching with two new people again. The daily possibility that she’s going to do something overwhelmingly embarrassing in front of Langdon. Still not knowing where she should go during her prep periods. That she’s going to be just as alone as she’s always been at work, but with some added disappointment because she’s let her hopes get up, just a little.
There’s no way that she and Langdon can co-teach as well as she hopes. She’s sure her bubble will burst soon enough, that her crush will fade, and everything will settle back to baseline.
(It doesn't.)
