nyxelestiaTitle: St. Stephen's Island
Summary: Stories are always told about one person, one at a time. But that's not how stories work. They're a bunch of people connected together, moving together, and moving along the story as once. This is the story of a bunch of British doctors making their way in the corrupted American medical system, trying to make it through rough days and rougher nights in the tense environment of a hospital in any way they can, and help as many people as possible - because at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

arithilim. The basic story line is a bunch of British doctors participating in a type of exchange program, where Yank docs work in a Brit hospital, and vice-versa, at which point comes in our cast. These are their stories. Few though they are right now, this collection will eventually grow.
The title's origin: it's split into two parts - St. Stephan, and Island. The Island part comes from the quote "No man is an island," which fits into the theme of interconnection of the story. St. Stephen is a little trickier - we wanted to give the hospital roots in Camelot, but naming an American hospital after an ancient English mythological city wouldn't have been easy, so we went for the next best thing: naming it after Camelot's supposed central cathedral in legend, St. Stephan's Cathedral. And thus, St. Stephan's Island.
