I missed your writing so much Bree! This was absolutely beautiful. Hate that I missed so much of your other works!

Love how full of sass Lilac is in this. So on-brand! Love how much in love Ethan is with her from so early on. 😍❤

So glad you're still here creating such beautiful stories for our favourite Book and favourite couple. 💕💞

The L Word (Ethan x MC)

Book: Open Heart, Book 1 Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Dr. Lilac Allende) Word count: 900 Warning: None Prompt: #44. “You don’t have to pretend with me”

Premise: Maybe Dr. Ramsey finds the Rookie funny after all. 

The silence that shrouded them as they walked down the hall teetered on the brink of awkwardness, though Ethan suspected that was only true for him. All he could think about as they walked was the way her dark hair framed her face and how, as her attending, he should not be so aware of just how pretty it made her look. He could feel her gaze on the side of his face, and at last, he gave into the urge to look at her. The loveliest smile was his greeting, one that made his ears flare with heat and almost made him smile in return.

Instead, a startling, nasal cackle from the nurses’ station stole both of their attention.

“Jesus Christ, it’s only seven in the morning.”

It's good to be back! Thanks lovely. 🥰💕

Hello Everyone.

This is a sort of apology post, if you will, for disappearing the way I did for all these months.

But most importantly, I'm here to say a big hearty THANK YOU to each and everyone who've been a part of my writing journey. It may not have been the brightest, but it's been something and I'll be forever proud to have been a part of this community and met so many amazing talented people on here.

So reality hit soon as the lockdown was lifted and I was summoned back to college campus. Technicalities and malfunctioning tumblr aside, I always thought the break was temporary and I'd be back before I knew it, but it didn't work out that way. Exam after exam, I had to work extra hard for all the chilling I did here at home all this time. Then offline classes and daily clinical postings started too and it became impossible to even think about anything other than my studies and the vast field that is medicine. I really love my life as a medical student though, so falling back into that hectic schedule again was surprisingly easier.

Sadly, we're back again in lockdown but probably for a short duration this time. I thought all of you still here with me deserve an explanation, so here I am.

I still love writing and still hope I'll eventually be able to fit this hobby back into my schedule but I can't give any real commitment to this as of now. God knows there's so many WIPS in my drafts, begging to be finished. If I write again, you'll find it here as always. And if I'm on your taglist, I request you to please keep me, even if I might not always be here to read it. I am sorry for the absence and I swear I'll try my best to keep up.

I'll be reblogging this so more people can see this and hopefully forgive me for ghosting y'all.

Love you all as always,

Dina.

This is so cute! Adore holiday fics. ❤❤

WINTER WARMTH

Pairing-Ethan Ramsey x Anna Valentine

Summary-A winter morning at the Ramsey apartment.

Rating-all ages can read

A/N-Sorry for my inactivity in my OH fic writing as I have been too busy writing fics for LoA as I know OH fandom has many capable writers who are very good at their fanfics so I decided to write for LoA fandom! But I am back with some fluff!! ❤Happy 📖📖Reading!

It was a beautiful winter Sunday morning at Boston! Boston was covered in white snow. It was 24th of December Anna and Ethan had taken leaves for Christmas. Ethan was in the kitchen making waffles for breakfast as he was too bad at making pancakes. Anna had woken up she was wearing a cute red snowman sweater and green shorts with knee high white socks and a reindeer hairband. Ethan looked at her in awe and admiration at how she always managed to make his day better and liften his Holiday spirits! After having the breakfast Ethan sat down on the couch to read some medical journals and suddenly he heard some dragging and screeching sounds. He saw Anna dragging a big bag in the Hall. He asked, "Rookie, what are you doing?? ".Anna replied, " Ethan it's Christmas and I haven't decorated the house yet! I am so late I should have been making cocoa and put up this Christmas tree long ago but I will do it now! " . She sounded like excited young kid who believed that Santa exists and puts gifts in the stockings hanging on the fireplace.

Ethan laughed. But, Anna gave him a stern glare. He stopped and coughed and said, "As you wish. My heart, my home, Jenner and I are all yours! ".Anna smiled and put up tinsels, stockings, candles and reets all over the place. Now it was time for the highlight of the evening the Christmas Tree. She put up the tree near the window besides the beautiful snow laden Boston view. She covered the tree in christmas ornaments. Ethan was seeing her from the corner of the eye while pretending to read the journal. Anna runs into the room to get a marker and sits besides Ethan she says, "Chief Ramsey! I need your world famous autograph".Ethan looks up from his book and says, " Rookie, what's happening to you? Why do you need my signature? ".Anna signals to the ornament in her hand and says, " We have a tradition that two lovers in our family sign on a Christmas ornament and the ornament is hanged on the tree".Ethan smiles and kisses her forehead softly and signs over the ornament Anna quickly puts it on the tree. After some time Anna says, "Ethan I need help in putting up this Christmas Star on the tree as our house doesn't have a damn stool because you reach every cabinet in the house because of your height" She groans. Ethan gives a snort at her sense of humor he likes their height difference as it makes it easier to kiss her and hug her from behind. He gets up and says, "Give me the star Rookie I will put it up for you" He says with a smile. Anna pulls the star from his reach and says, "No!! I love putting up the star on the top of the tree".Ethan smiles as he catches her signal and wraps his arm around Anna's waist and raises her Anna easily puts up the star on the tree Ethan lowers her back on the ground. They both rests their foreheads against each others and Anna says, " Merry Christmas Ethan! " Ethan kisses her softly and says, "Merry Christmas to the sunshine and everything of my life"

[irisofpurple]

Hi there! This week’s newlywed’s round will be a short one (but hopefully a fun one). This week we’re playing:

What Would They Rather?

Note: The setting is back to Ethan x MC being married/together. They have to guess what their partner would choose from the options. Dialogue is entirely up to you!

MC, what would Ethan rather?

Beer or Wine

A Cruise or Camping

Horror Movie or Chick Flick

Stay at home or Go out in the rain

Get up early or Stay up late

Ethan, what would MC rather?

Cook dinner or Do the dishes

Diamonds or Pearls

Live in the city or Live in the country

Walk on the beach or Dance in the club

Travel overseas or Explore locally

MC, what would Ethan rather?

Beer or Wine

Lana: If those are the only choices, he'd definitely pick wine. I'm trying to get him into Team Beer but it's hard to get him to drink anything other than his fancy scotch.

Ethan: *smirks* More like she's Team Scotch now.

Lana: *rolls her eyes* I've always been a whiskey girl, long before I met you but I'm not as obsessed with it as you are. Also, I couldn't afford the fancy stuff in my college days so beer was my best bet.

Ethan: I'll admit beer isn't the worst choice but..

Lana: Oh my God. Approval! After all these years! Victoryy! *gets up and does a victory dance*

Ethan: *shakes his head and watches her with an amused smile*

A Cruise or Camping

Lana: Definitely camping.

Ethan: *beams at her* Lana is a nature lover. We went cruising on our honeymoon in Paris which we definitely enjoyed a lot, but the camping experience when I proposed to her remains far superior and closer to our hearts.

Lana: Sleeping under the stars.. feeling like we're the only people on earth.. it was magical.

Ethan: Indeed. But not more than you.

Horror Movie or Chick Flick

Lana: *thoughtfully* I'd say horror because I've caught him sneakily watch me play Resident Evil 7.

Ethan: *blushing in surprise and embarrassment* That's- that's because the protagonist character is called Ethan.

Lana: *smirks* You must've watched quite a bit to even know that.

Ethan: Hrm.

Lana: *bats her lashes at him* Would you fight a haunted house full of monsters to rescue me? Even if I was turned into one of them?

Ethan: *angrily* Why would you ever say such a thing?!

*softens and laces his fingers with hers, looking into her eyes and swallowing*

Ethan: You know I'd go through hell and back for you. I- I've been pretty close to losing you once, I hate to even think about it.

Lana: *kisses him passionately* I love you. I'm so sorry.

Ethan: *gently kisses her forehead*

Lana: *wiping away tears and perking up* You know this reminds me of the first time you took me to the Opera, the story of Damarion and Alessandra. You held my hand and narrated their tragic love story to me.

Ethan: You held my hand while I was trying to be a gentleman and help you understand it.

Lana: Same thing. *pecks on his cheek*

Stay at home or Go out in the rain

Lana: Stay at home, while it's pelting down outside. It's the perfect mood for our favourite adult activities. *winks*

Ethan: Why get wet like that when there's a perfectly nice shower in bathroom?

Lana: That's it. The next time there's a downpour in Boston, I'm taking you dancing in the rain.

Ethan: No.

Lana: Come on. You'll love it, I swear. It's the best feeling.

Ethan: I'd rather stay home and not catch a cold.

Lana: You won't. I'll convince you one way or another. Just you watch. *smiles devilishly*

Get up early or Stay up late

Lana: Get up early, unless I keep him up late. *winks*

Ethan: *blushes deeply*

Ethan, what would MC rather?

Cook dinner or Do the dishes.

Ethan: She hates doing dishes so definitely cook dinner. She's a really good cook once she's learnt the recipe thoroughly.

Lana: But he's far better than me so he's the head chef at Ramsey Mansion.

Diamonds or Pearls

Ethan: She doesn't care much about jewellery but I know she prefers diamonds.

Lana: *singing expressively* Shine bright like a diamond.. Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy. You and I, you and I.. we're like diamonds in the sky.. *keeps humming*

Ethan: *shrugs with a knowing smile* Yeah.

Live in the city or Live in the country

Ethan: She loves the country but sadly we can't live too far away from work.

Lana: I grew up in my grandparents' farmhouse before dad moved us to Houston. I am not complaining but a country life is much more wholesome and closer to nature. I do love it here in Boston though. Home is where the heart is and my heart is with Ethan so...

Walk on the beach or Dance in the club

Ethan: Walk on the beach. We had a beach wedding at Miami with family and close friends. Beaches have a special place in our hearts.

Lana: I'm not really into the club scene much but I do like hanging out with my friends in the club every now and again. And I love dancing. But given a choice, I'd rather spend a quiet evening in the beach with my husband. Bonus points if it's private so we aren't interrupted if we... *glances at a blushing Ethan* ...get carried away.

Travel overseas or Explore locally

Ethan: Both.

Lana: Exactly. Why choose one when you can have both right? There's always some cool place to discover in town. But travelling abroad is a whole different experience. I have a long travel list and I very much intend to get to the end of it.

Ethan: And afterwards?

Lana: Add more and repeat, of course!

I apologise for taking literally forever to this. I mean this was the shortest ask so far but it took me the longest somehow. Thank you so much Bree for sending these and bearing with me. 💕

[irisofpurple]

This was GENIUS. You hit each and every mark. And with such precision and elegance too. This is 100% how Landrat's brain works.

You see my pawns, I mean patients...

DEAD. Fucking DEAD! I indeed felt like puking after reading that. Being a medical student myself, I can't imagine doctors having this sick mentality. What an evil piece of shit! 🤬🤬

God I hate him so much. But I loved this. Every bit of it. I am sure he has a Dr. Ramsey shrine in his basement too. And this part..

Some may call me a coward for not approaching Dr Ramsey myself on my first day, which might be a little true, considering everytime I as much as think about it, I pee a little in my pants. But honestly, I have too much self respect for such attention seeking behaviour.

*SLOW CLAP* 👏👏

I also love (more like hate lol) how he manipulates Ethan’s sayings to justify his misdeeds. Show what a rotten mind he has. Pitiful! 🤢

Thank you for making me angry and disgusted and giving me more reason to hate Laundry. Can’t wait for more. Absolutely love this series! ❤❤

TRUTH SERUM

Ao3 link:

For Part 1 with Ethan Ramsey, click here.

For Part 2 with Jackie Varma, click here.

For Part 3 with Naveen Banerji, click here.

Your favourite (or not so favourite) OH characters, but on TS, asked to state 5 things about themselves.

Landry Olsen (he/him):

Damn you guys actually wanna read more about me? That's crazy. I'm snake–uh, sorry Landry Olsen, and I kinda look like a famished version of Mark Zuckerberg, but here I am trying to be a doctor. Tragic, right? That the world doesn't yet know I'm the best? Don't you worry guys. I'm gonna do WHATEVER it takes, just as Dr Ramsey says, to help everyone see the real picture. Sabotage, patient file meddling, slut shaming, you name 'em, I do 'em. Cause when people can't perceive reality as it is, a little bent in the finger is hardly any price to pay for the assertion of the truth.

My ex-roomies call me entitled, but I'd rather say I'm practical. If I could make anything and anyone in the world work in my favour, why wouldn't I? You see my pawns, I mean, patients, always help a great deal, so I make sure to choose them carefully. Tougher the cases, greater the chances of really showing off my wisdom as a doctor on cracking it. But who gives a shit about patient "care" and all? I tried caring for four people last year, gracing them with my presence, 24*7 lectures, and a clear vision of reason, but look where that has led me now! Into nicknames like Landrat, Laundry and burnt ramen noodles. So I'm done with caring. Patient's family, please stop asking a hundred questions about whether your father, sister, or husband will be well looked after. Just praise me already!

Some may call me a coward for not approaching Dr Ramsey myself on my first day, which might be a little true, considering everytime I as much as think about it, I pee a little in my pants. But honestly, I have too much self respect for such attention seeking behaviour. Why would I go sucking up to my attendings, when I could just… show up to work at ghostly hours, mess with people's pagers, endanger patient lives and guilt trip my colleague for not putting in a good word for me? I always did let my work speak for itself! And I'm not the type to kiss people's a**es to go forward, cause I don't need to. The day everyone will know about my hardworking genius, I'll have all the senior doctors pointing out, "that's the great Dr Olsen going," as I walk down the hospital halls. Dr Ramsey himself will come up to me for advice on his latest medical discoveries, abandoning his new f*ck-accomplice far behind, and I will deservedly wear the smug grin which looks so fitting on my a** like face.

Remember the shrine in the basement joke I had made with MC? Well… that wasn't actually a joke. For legal purposes, I refuse to explain further. Thank you.

I hate MC with a passion, and they deserve it. Being the most careless doctor ever, throwing me under the bus in the name of a "save", sleeping their way to the top, even manipulating my medical hero to deem them worthy of attending a medical conference in Miami, I tolerated it all; but patient murder is where I f*cking draw the line. After that incident, I realized my undercover sneaky bastard approach wasn't working, so I had to be a straight up bastard who f*cks with people's medical license. And boy did I f*ck! You had to see the look on their face when they got sued. It's funny how Dr Ramsey thinks they'll be as good at running the diagnostics team as they are at warming his bed! But now that I'm out of Edenbrook for good, I'll reach heights here in Kenmore no one could have ever imagined, and then I'll rub my success right on the face of that main freaking character.

You see, I generally assume if people aren't feeling like puking after reading my piece, I've written well, but since this is Landry, maybe the opposite outcome would a better indication of good writing in this case.

Landrat was requested by of my very special friends, who isn't on Tumblr but on AO3, so I really hope they see it there, and leave a comment or something! Pray for me folks.

@adiehardfan @irisofpurple @barbean @gryffindordaughterofathena

Others let me know if you wanna be tagged in future posts, and reblog if you wanna smash Landry's head with a brick as much as I do. Peace ✌.

[irisofpurple]

I think Ethan fell for her pretty early on, slowly but surely. By the time they were in Miami he couldn't even deny it to himself anymore. He was head over heels. ����💕

I love how you turned his words around. Indeed, that someone is him. He just needs to give himself enough credit and realise there's no one else she'd rather be with. ❤❤

Thank you for sending these questions Bree. So much fun to answer. Love it! 🥰

Dina! Here is this week's round. It's different lol

Not Yet Wed Questions

Note: Great Scott! This week, we are going back in time to MC’s intern year. Think of Ethan’s relationship with them at this point and answer the following questions accordingly. It is entirely up to you when in year 1 this takes place (pre/post Miami, pre/post CH 15, etc). Feel free to answer with dialogue or pictures or both :) Have fun!

No worries. All of this is off the record and HR will never know!

The setting for this answers is:

gotten a tattoo

broken someone’s heart

been in love

For MC (Ethan is not there)

Where do you see him in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)

What do you find the most impressive about him?

Last thing he texted you?

If he asked you out on a date, what would you say?

For Ethan (MC is not there)

Where do you see him in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)

What specifically do you find attractive about her?

Last thing she texted you?

If she asked you out on a date, how would you respond?

This might be my favourite ask so far cause I live for the Book 1 angst. Thank you so much for sending these!

Keep reading

[irisofpurple]

This sounds amazing already. Can't wait to see what else you've got in store for us. I know I'll love it for sure. 💕

Sunday Six

Hey guys! Because I'm not releasing this chapter until I'm back I thought I'd do a Sunday Six! Hope ya like it 😘

"Harry, are you sure?" she asks as he's driving along "Yes I am! I think you need to do this," she links her fingers through his, he brings them up to his lips and kisses her knuckles "I love you" she whispers. When he came up with the idea she thought he was joking, but his eyes were serious. She couldn't believe her luck. How much he understood her without her saying a word.

They pulled into the car park of the church he was buried at, she looked to him "Do you..erm?" she doesn't know how to ask him, but he smiles "You go! I'll be here!" he kisses her cheek as she gets out of the car.

Strolling through the graveyard she notices others visiting their relatives, finally stood in front of his grave, she takes a seat against the headstone "Merry Christmas Joshy! Hope you're having a merry time up there" she smiles looking up to the sky.

[irisofpurple]

First of all, I commend you for literally ripping your heart open simply so we could understand Ethan better. You are such a brave soul, my dear and you have my deepest love and respect for that! Truly. ❤❤

Secondly, I can't say I absolutely understand what you've been through because well, no one can really feel the actual pain the person experiencing it has felt. BUT I have had my fair share of major betrayal from very close and very important and very well respected people in my life. It has certainly left me with very deep seated trust issues that I think is beyond repair. I'm not ready to share more yet because it is really hard for me and I am not recovered or ready yet.

But I don't personally think it was even about trust for Ethan as much as it was about belief and being HOPELESSLY HOPEFUL. I always felt that Ethan hoped and believed MC would and had to recover from that state, even though all the evidence said otherwise. He, a man who was normally rational to a fault, refused to believe those were his last moments with his beloved, against all logic and probability.

So he didn't want to say those three words in those painful moments. He wanted her to live and say them when she was well so the memory of the moment wouldn't be attached to pain. Also, I think Ethan felt like if he said it then, then it would be like sealing her fate. Like giving up on her. And he definitely never could do that. He believed in her more than he ever believed in himself. I'm not sure if that makes sense but that's what I always thought.

I always felt it was beautiful that he almost confessed his love but didn't go through with it. It was hurtful in the best way. One of the angstiest and best moments of Open Heart. I still cry just thinking about it.

I've never really posted serious stuff on my Tumblr before. At least not serious personal stuff, so this is gonna be a first. And I'm about to start a super emotional rant for no particular reason, except that I felt like I really need to put this out there, no matter how much other people feel like "I'm dragging down the energy", being a buzzkill, or just unnecessarily making things dark and heavy. So, if you're not up for it, don't proceed.

T.W.: Mentions of Trauma

So, as I gathered from the fandom, yesterday was OPH2 Chapter 11 replay day, and I've seen a lot of my favourite fandom people post about how E should have FREAKING COMPLETED HIS SENTENCE, and not given us a "care about you" statement when MC was legit supposed to be on their deathbed.

Now I understand where that sentiment is coming from, because I have been that MC and I have felt frustrated. I know what you're talking about, and I support you wholeheartedly when ya'll go, "boy, just say it!"

But, having said that, I kinda understand why he didn't, and couldn't. Ethan and I have a lot of things in common, which unfortunately include childhood trauma. And I don't wanna go into too many details, but I've never felt completely safe anywhere with anyone because of very valid reasons. And to add to that, I've had feelings for my best friend, who I had known for eight years. Eight freaking long years, and I thought I knew her. I could trust her.

And yet when after eight years I told her about my feelings, she definitely didn't reciprocate, (which is perfectly alright), but she took advantage of that knowledge to f*ck my life in so many ways that I'm still in the process of recovering from it. And for a person like E whose literal mother randomly left him with no explanation when he was mad young, I could only understand where he's coming from. There must be an automatic voice in his head which keeps saying "don't trust no one"– which is at least true in my case, and till date everytime I don't listen to that, I end up hurt badly. So if I'm right in this context, then no matter how much he loves or trusts MC, I understand why he couldn't tell them that he loves them after knowing them for only about one and a half years.

So, I would not say that it wasn’t justified for E to act the way he did. I would probably done the same if I was in his place.

Also, for the people out there who are in relationships with other people who are dealing with mental illness, I have a message. Please be patient with your S.Os. Trust me, they're trying. And you don't have to be their therapist, cause you're not supposed to be, but being their supporter until they're ready to speak their mind would really mean a lot to a lot of people.

Okay this got real dark, so again I apologize, for dragging this into the OH context. Should I even apologize? Maybe not...

I'm a confused two braincelled human, leave me alone 😅.

Thank you for reading if you've made it this far.

@gaeipsstuff @jeetushmannfeelz @adiehardfan @irisofpurple I know this is not a fic but I'm tagging you here cause... idk we're friends I suppose, and I felt like when I'm doing an emo rant late in the night, you should know. Love you all <3.

This one is my favourite so far. I LOVE NAVEEN more than anyone and you potrayed him so beautifully. Absolute justice to his delightful character! ❤❤❤

I cracked up at Naveen promising to change his name to Praveen if his colleagues don't laugh while imagining him angry. 😂😂😂 I remember how I found it super weird and OOC when PB gave us a moody Naveen in Book 3 when he made that tracheotomy mistake. I reject such nonsense canon.

And OMG the passing on of his sweater obsession to Ethan bit. That's so cute! 😭😭

The absence of a romantic lover and a family might be the only things that narrowly qualify as a regret I have in life. Hence, I have made it my personal mission to captain the ship called MC × Ethan.

THIS IS EVERYTHING! I love him so much. And him playing officiant! Ethan and MC couldn’t have it any other way! 💯💯

Naveen is the best thing about the entire Open Heart Universe. It’s tragic how little screen time PB gave him. Thanks for this beauty my dear. 💕💕

Naveen Banerji (he/him):

I am sweet, like very VERY sweet, and I've successfully made that one trait my entire personality. I'm not even kidding, you can go around the whole hospital, and ask all my colleagues to imagine an angry Dr. Banerji. If at least two guffaws don't escape each one of them, I'll be ready to change my name from Naveen to Praveen that instant. I'm THAT sweet, and right now if I announce that I'm adopting grandchildren, there will be at least a hundred applications on my desk, but unfortunately I have only one makeshift son called Ethan, and he alone is too much to handle.

I may or may not have passed on my sweater obsession to Ethan… jk jk I certainly have. If MC gets to know that, they'll hate me for it, but I'm slightly hoping that moving on, sometime in the distant future, even MC will carry this sweater legacy forward. Seriously though, I have this one vest type sweater which I wear everywhere, but I have noticed that nowadays, sweater vests are certainly making a comeback with those… What are they called? Fashion influenza! So clearly, I'm on trend, and as Lahela says, I'm the "cool doc" :).

Medicine is the second love of my life. The first, unfortunately, is not a person, but gossip. In fact, the absence of a romantic lover and a family might be the only things that narrowly qualify as a regret I have in life. Hence, I have made it my personal mission to captain the ship called MC × Ethan. You are welcome aboard. The long term goal is to get them together, possibly married, (I can't wait to play officiant!!!), and the short term one is to keep assigning them as many tragic cases together as possible, so that each time, their need to comfort each other overgrows their agreement to stay away. Now I know what you're thinking, I'm smart, right? Again, VERY. You see, in my school, I used to be particularly very good in Chemistry ;).

MC has recently introduced me to this certain tumbling app, and I've been reading up all this stuff about how PB or something is making me disappear for long stretches, and bringing me back whenever it suits their narrative. Listen brother, I have absolutely no idea who you are, but please, don't make me vanish! I exist, you guys, and I can be really fun, if you'll have me. I promise!

Despite being exceedingly good at almost everything I do, like diagnosing, mentoring and being charming, doing nothing is still my favourite hobby. So when I had learnt I had only a month to live, I decided to spend it eating pastries and fishing around… literally. But now that I have gained several years to live, all thanks to my beloved MC, I sincerely hope that the vibrant kid doesn't get too influenced by Ethan's grump, and that I can live long enough to see the day when Ethan finally learns to take a chill pill.

In case you guys don't know yet, I LOVE NAVEEN! Please he's legit my favourite in all of OH, sorry not sorry Ethan.

I hope you guys like this, and... a very special a**holic character coming soon on TS!

Loved this Bree. I think Ethan would pick wine too. He and his fancy ass lol. 😂😂

Love Lilac for making him watch and love chick flicks. I think most people enjoy them but are reluctant to admit it. And 'Dance in the beach' is a vibe. 💕💕

I'll be answering mine soon, it's been a busy week and I haven't had time to really sit down. Thank you so much for sending them. ❤

What Would They Rather?

Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Dr. Lilac Allende)

Format: Dialogue only

Series: Newlyweds Game

Author’s Note: Thank you @quixoticdreamer16​ for UNO Reverse Carding me

Lilac, what would Ethan rather?

Beer or Wine

Lilac: No scotch, huh. He’d rather not drink anything then. 

Ethan: I’m not that dramatic.

*Lilac gives him a disbelieving look* 

Ethan: Fine. I’d definitely make my thoughts on the limited options quite known. 

Lilac: And in the end, he’d pick wine. It has to be good quality wine, too. He can tell it apart, which beats me.

Ethan: You’re correct.

Keep reading

Damn. That is a 10 on 10. Soo spot on Jackie I can't even! 💯

That sassy Indianness, the cool bitch vibe and sexy as fuck. I love the idea of her being bisexual. Soo in line with her character! 😎

'Free alcohol, and I'm your best friend. But that doesn't mean we braid each other's hair and shit. Eww! How... intimate.'

OMG I SCREAMED at that! So fucking hilarious and soo Jackie. I have a bit of Jackie in me, so it was also relate af jwkskskakkkdsal.

I love Jackie even though she had her shitty moments in the series. She can be a hard person to like but that's also what kinda I am, so I understand and love her even more for it!

You're killing it with these Jugni. To say I'm looking forward to more is an understatement! ❤

Jackie Varma (she/her):

I'm the walking-talking personification of the 'mean bisexual' trope in pop culture, hence my natural reaction to any and every person is spite. So if you meet me for the first time and I call you filth-head on your face, remember that more often than not, it's not you, it's me. And just in case you wanna get on my good side (lol), buy me booze, lots of it. Free alcohol, and I'm your best friend. But that doesn't mean we braid each other's hair and shit. Eww! How… intimate.

It's not that people notice very often, but I have a pretty bomb fashion sense. That's Indian women for you ;). Right from the mauve number I wear under my white coat, to the layered cool casuals, my borderline unhealthy obsession with necklaces,  and the ravishing party gown with a studded choker neckline, I'm your runway diva. My casual wardrobe includes a scary amount of leather, because duh I want to scare people. However, that same me would rather wear leather jackets in a greyish-lavender hue, than in black, because that way I'm a softie at heart. Don't you dare pass on that information to anyone else, or I'll slit your throat and bury your head and body in different graveyards.

I'm ALWAYS in debt. And I really don't figure why. It's not like I have to spend literal diamonds to do every single activity, unlike MC. I wonder how they manage that. Anyway, back to me, I find myself in fairly compromising situations from time to time due to this resident monetary crunch of mine. Those situations may include getting involved in fishy business with the person my boss had punched on his face, or placing bets about almost everything– from trivial matters like how many interns Zaid will bark at in one day, or whether or not Aurora will burn her bacon, to bigger issues like people's love life. With a solid exception to my assumptions about who MC is sneaking around with, in most cases I usually lose more money on these bets than I earn.

MC's 'psychic' patient had once told me that in a parallel universe, MC is actually dating me! Which is rather cool, until he said that she doesn't get to spend much time with me, because this Ramsey guy has more "screen time" than me. What is that even supposed to mean?

Life is competition and competition is life. So in order to be able to guiltlessly kick people's a**es, I don't do "bffs" and "soulmates". Having said that, I do have a few literal friends-with-benefits, an arrangement I quite like. Anyone can give you sex, but trust those who offer benefits such as 24*7 bakery supplies, like Sienna, or shitty life advice about how to end up in trouble, like MC, or flirtation tactics like Bryce. The others are just there because Elijah a harmless cute kid who doesn't get in my way too much, and Aurora's there because I might be a mean bisexual, but she's a meaner lesbian, so messing with her is basically inviting my own doom.

:))) Sorry not sorry. Stay tuned for more slightly-deep mostly weird character introspection!

Pour Two Glasses, Chapter 2 (TRR)

“...I felt at ease, knowing that Riley was in the care of my best man--” The king places his hand on the shoulder of an unsuspecting Drake. “--which is why I need to talk to you.”

Drake’s dark eyes shift curiously to Liam at the mention of Riley’s name. He licks a wayward bead of liquor from his lips; setting his glass tumbler down on the bar, he leans in closely to hear.

“Listen,” Liam starts, ”I am proud that we have an elite crew of trained guards. Those men and women protect Riley, me, our home, the Council, our international advisors and guests. Any one of them would die for me out of duty--but, not you.”

Drake’s eyes widen with offended confusion. “Okay--” he sarcastically snickers, “--um--”

“Drake, you would die for me out of heart. You would die for my queen because you love her. You love me.” Liam pulls another sip from his coffee. “You can’t teach that loyalty.” He smacks his tongue as he swallows the warm drink. “Which is why I have a favor for your consideration.”

Tabloids, Part 3 (TNA)

“Hi--excuse me?” Brynn gently knocks her knuckles on the rustic front desk in hopes of getting the secretary’s attention away from her computer screen.

The fiery-redhead snaps her gum, turning her attention to an out-of-breath, impatient Brynn. Lowering her leopard-print readers, she soaks in Brynn’s disheveled appearance from head-to-toe. With disdain in her voice, the woman clears her throat. “Can I help you?”

Brynn plasters on a brilliant smile. “Yes--yes, please--” Brynn attempts to slow down her breathing. “My name is Brynn Schuyler--” she inhales deeply, “--I’m Mason Dalton’s nanny--”

“Oh!” the secretary interrupts, her words dripping with sardonic amusement. “So, you’re the nanny.”

Brynn stiffens her lip, pushing a wayward piece of hair behind her ear. “Yes,” she clears her throat, becoming more confident in her speaking, “yes, I am. And the headmaster contacted me personally to--”

“Brynn?” A familiar, tearful voice calls innocently from the corner of the room. Holding his broken tortoise-shell glasses, Mason presses an ice pack to his freshly-bruised eye as he slumps in defeat in his chair.

The Missionary’s Daughter, Chapter 1 (TRR)

Halos of blurred auras bleach his vision as Drake cautiously opens one blood-shot eye. His tongue sticks to the roof of his roughly parched mouth as he massages his pained forehead. Clueless of what day it is--much less what he did last night--he is greeted with a sudden glorious sensation: a supple wet mouth on his hardened morning length.

His body relaxes back onto the dampened, disheveled sheets of his bed; he releases a pleasurable exhale as he blindly reaches for the head behind the lips. He strains to focus his view, but can only make out a foggy shape of a nude woman with long, tousled brunette waves.

It’s her. His love.

Drake smiles; delicately tangling his grip in her strands, he admires how even the afternoon sun catches her beauty perfectly. He quietly smacks his lips. He can still smell her on his stubble; he can still taste her on his tongue.
