Thank you so much (for humoring me in my clownery 😂) ❤️
Tumblr media
It's November 1st and that means it's time for me to celebrate a fictional character's birthday like the clown I am. But anyway! Happy birthday to the queen of my heart, Lilac Allende! I'd like to think she is somewhere out there being spoiled by her husband (like she deserves).

Awww thank you, friend 🧡
No pressure at all, amiga... but if inspired for a ficlet, an edit, anything....
⋆ going to questionable lengths to decorate their house/apartment (for Halloween)
From this list
Omg! Thank you so much for the inspiration, Amiga. It felt SO GOOD to write something short and sweet. I almost cried. Love you!
Halloween Lights
Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey and F!MC (Dr. Lilac Allende-Ramsey) Word count: 600 Warning: Adult themes and conversations
Tumblr media
“This is stupid,” Ethan proclaims from under her for the tenth time that evening. 
“Quiet, you,” she returns without missing a beat. 
“Hrm.”
His overemphasized displeasure would have been amusing to Lilac under any other circumstances. At that precise moment, however, her attention is entirely invested on not plummeting to her death. 
Meanwhile, Ethan Ramsey, renowned doctor and author, currently stands in the driveway of their new home, his wife perched on his shoulders as she tries to hang up a string of purple and orange lights. He remembers the colors precisely because they spent over an hour searching for the correct ones online. Ready to give up, Ethan had proclaimed that the color didn't matter, which earned him a glare and a lecture from Lilac. 
“Who decorates for Halloween anyway?” he asks now from under his wife. 
“Us,” she informs him brightly. 
“Why? Isn't Christmas enough?” 
“Nope,” she says absently, finally finding success with mounting that section of string lights. “And you better get used to it, babe. Marrying me means decorating for every holiday. Now, move over to the left so I can keep going.”
A long dramatic sigh leaves him but he obliges. Lilac laughs, careful not to topple over with the movement. 
“This would have been insurmountably easier with a ladder,” he informs her. 
“We don't own one yet. It's part of the whole ‘being new home owners’ ordeal,” she reminds him. “There's an obligatory trip to the hardware store we still have to make. And then two more when we realize we forgot to get some things. Besides, I don't need a ladder when I have a six foot five husband I can climb.”
His grip on her thighs tightens. 
“That last part I don't mind.”
Large hands move further up her legs. 
“In fact, I enjoy it thoroughly when you do.”
“Stop distracting me with your filthy mind, Ramsey.”
A bitter breeze sweeps past them, dragging its icy nails over Lilac's skin. Her raised arms pull the hem of the knit fabric, exposing her midriff. She sways unceremoniously, clenching her thighs tighter around her husband's neck to retain her balance. 
It's futile, however, because her body jerks to the side, sending her heart into a nosedive. 
“Shit!” 
Strong, steady arms catch her, gently bringing her back to the ground. Her soft body slides down the hard planes of his. When she finds her bearings again and her pulse returns to normal, she laughs. 
“I'm horrible at this decoration thing,” she admits. 
“Yes, you are.”
Lilac feigns offense, but Ethan is quick to kiss her forehead. Another icy blast of wind rushes past them, making her shiver. His hands instinctively squeeze her tighter. 
“I'll put all the decorations up this weekend if we can go inside,” he offers. 
“Really?” 
“You won't give up this insane endeavor otherwise,” he counters, but Lilac can see his sarcasm doesn't match the softness in his smile. “I'll get Lahela to help me. It'll be torture, but I'll do it if it means you won't fall and break your neck.”
There is no immediate witty response. Instead, his wife watches him with a look she has given him many times before, one that makes Ethan feel absolutely weightless. Something about this small embrace in the middle of their new driveway cements the realization that they're about to spend the rest of their lives together in their new home.
Lilac must feel it too because she leans up to kiss him. Their lips move innocently at first, but then they plead for more with every languid stroke. She breaks away, cheeks flushed and eyes dark. Her fingers play with the tassels of his scarf. 
“Even though we're done decorating, I can still climb you, Ramsey.”
The words have the desired effect on his body. Years of practice, however, help him think of a witty response instead of immediately pouncing on her like a caveman. 
“Just like before, Rookie,” he tells her conversationally before leaning in and whispering— “Except I want you facing the other way.”

I've said it once and I'll say it again— Ethan can be so dumb sometimes for someone so smart 🙄
