A Night to Remember by ArtbyAinna (IG)

Happy birthday, @lilyoffandoms!!!! You are such a lovely, wonderful, talented, and all around incredible person. I think the world of you! I am so grateful to have met you through this fandom. You've always been such an amazing and supportive friend. I am so lucky to have you in my life (even luckier than Daenarya is to have Maiele 🤭). I hope your birthday brings you all the most wonderful things. You deserve only the best on your special day! Love you!💛

Kiss and Say Goodbye

Once again, @/artbyainna (IG) has completely blown my mind. I received this first thing in the morning, and I ask you, how am I to be expected to go about my day and work? How? It's impossible! I can't believe how I can describe a scene to her, and she just brings it to life exactly as I imagined it.

This is from the farewell scene in part one of my Crimes of Passion AU, A Moment in Time. This was all the inspiration I needed to finally finish the final chapter. All other works are shoved to the side! lol I'm still screaming!

I've been really disinterested in Choices lately but I just suddenly missed my babies a month ago, so I commissioned the incredible @/artbyainna on IG and as always, she did an amazing job! Not that you could ever expect anything else from her.

The idea behind this commission was simple - Bryce comforting my Open Heart MC, Joshua, after he is wakes up from a PTSD induced nightmare in the middle of the night.

With an Open Heart

Open Heart | Dr. Ethan Ramsey and Dr. Lilac Allende

“`One of our most promising young doctors.ʼ”

“Stop.”

“`The future of medicine.ʼ”

“Well, I couldn't very well introduce you as a colossal pain in my ass, now could I?”

🎶 Hey now hey now this is what dreams are made of 🎶

Also known as " nfkrkdkekasdfekek"

Also known as "Ainna ate, left no crumbs. AGAIN.”

As you guys know, I've always been in love with the Open Heart book 1 cover. It's truly a masterpiece. For three years, I have imagined a version with my MC in it. And now? The beautiful and talented Ainna has made my dreams come true!

The way she makes them look in love?

She deserves an award 🩷

Love Among the Pages

[All Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer Masterlists] [Red Carpet Diaries]

Pairing: Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer (F!OC) Book: Red Carpet Diaries (Post-Book 3) Word Count: <300 Rating: General: no warnings, all the fluffy fluff Prompts: @choiceschallenge-may2023 - love

Synopsis: Thomas and Alex enjoy a quiet afternoon reading.

This absolutely adorable and perfect art is by lovely and talented ArtbyAinna. 🤍

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.”

The warm spring sun bathed the lush meadow surrounding them in its golden glow. A gentle breeze caressed their cheeks, strands of her hair blowing in front of their faces. Dandelion puffballs swayed around them, occasionally sending some of their fluffy tufts twirling in the air, showering the pair in the softest white confetti.

Thomas nestled comfortably against Alex as he read aloud from The Little Prince. The words of the story swirled between them, painting a beautiful image of one of their favorite books. The enchanting tale carried them away to a world of imagination and wonder.

Alex held him from behind, her fingers entwining with his until he had to turn a page. She nuzzled her face into his neck, letting the soothing sounds of his voice overwhelm her. The story's messages always resonated deeply with her. She laughed and cried through the Little Prince's journey, knowing all too well that moments like this were of the most beautiful in the world. 

Thomas turned behind him, brushing a kiss on her cheek. His gaze met hers for a moment, their eyes filled with warmth and understanding. No words needed to be spoken, for the story of their hearts spoke louder. 

With another tender kiss, Thomas turned back to the page, continuing to read the tale of the golden-haired little prince whose story reminds us that the most beautiful things—like sharing love among the pages—must be felt with the heart.

Thank you for reading this little drabble. I really struggled with it. I didn't want it to be a lot, but I didn't want it to be pointless fluff either. I hope this drabble captures the love between them that only grew through the shared reading of one of their favorite books.

The Little Prince has long been one of my favorite books, and it has been Alex's as well. I wanted to commission her and Thomas reading it for a while, and now seemed like the time. This is one of my favorite commissions simply because it captures these two so perfectly. Unlike the Hollywood love stories with dramatized big memorable moments, their love has always been the strongest in these small moments.

I love these two so so much and if you made it this far, I appreciate you for putting up with my rambling. Thank you so so much for reading!

I think this may forever be my absolute favorite piece of fanart ever. OMFG, it's just so perfect!

Trystan x Gabriel by artbyainna (IG)

I wanted art that was in keeping with the cover photo for this book but more in keeping with the characters because I refuse to believe the detective or Trystan would go all TRR on us like that cover art is attempting to make us believe.

- aka I wanted cover art that was less generic -

I also wanted to redeem that disaster of a coronation outfit for the detective. I went with something in keeping with the whole royal vibe but something that wasn’t so stuffy and old, because I’m tired of PB making Mags designs look so boring and off. She’s better than PB, I just know it.

Ainna definitely delivered and then some! I just can’t get over how amazing she is with taking my ideas and two entirely different outfits and making something magical out of them!

[Background is a manipulation of the PB cover art]

[Gabriel’s outfit is inspired by an design from Ellie Saab’s Fall/Winter 2022 line and one from Zaid Nakad’s Spring/Summer 2023 line]

Setting Sail for Tomorrow (and whatever comes next)

Calli and Flynn sail off into the sunset following the events of Veil of Secrets, starting the next chapter of their lives together in Birchport.

In honor of the finale of our VOS book club, I thought it was time to share this. I am absolutely in love with this art by the one and only ArtbyAinna (Instgram).

I'm going to post these HCs separate after the finale but here they are here as well...

After the book...

*Flynn takes over as lighthouse keeper and works to make the docks and ports a more fair place with those doing the work getting livable wages and credit for their hard work. Grant helps handle any lawsuits that need to be settled to help clean up everything at the docks.

*Calli moves to Birchport and works for their local paper. She also starts a private investigation agency (like her cousin Lilah Rose). Flynn helps when he can. Kate really wants to be a detective, but she has yet to master the art of being subtle. Naomi is Calli's main partner at her private investigation agency.

Choices Artists Appreciation Day

I want to start by thanking the artists who helped bring my Crimes of Passion HC to life during the past year.

The first three commissions below are by @/artbyainna on Instagram. While she's not on Tumblr, she is beyond talented and the sweetest person you could ever deal with. The third, in particular, is one of my all-time favorites.

When I read Crimes 2, I felt we were robbed, and there was no CG in the scene where Vasili was on the throne waiting for Trystan x MC. The world needed it! I knew the beyond incredibly talented @oh-so-youre-a-nerd was the one who could bring it to life, and they did!

I'm grateful to these incredibly talented artists, not only for my commissions but for all they bring to the Choices community!

@choicesfandomappreciation Artists Appreciation Day

[icecoffee90]

I was lucky enough to be one of the winners of @jerzwriter's tumblr-versary giveaway event and I won a piece by none other than the incredible @/artbyainna on ig. And I couldn't be happier with my prize! 😊 Huge thank you to both of these amazing ladies for this commission of my two absolute favorite Choices characters! 🥰🥰🥰

The idea for this commission came from PB's promotional pics in which Maxwell visited several locations, including Edenbrook.. I figured that Maxwell and Bryce would immediately hit it off! And since there are still a few days of the Pride Month left and both of these characters are canonically queer, I wanted this commission to be LGBTQ+ themed.. That's how I came up with this "Pride office party at Edenbrook" idea..

Once again, Ainna somehow exceeded my already impossibly high expectations!! I said it before and I'll say it again - not even sky's the limit for Ainna's talent!!

Golden (Ethan x Lilac)

and I can still see it all in my mind all of you, all of me intertwined i once believed love would be black and white but it's golden g o l d e n

They're engaged! This beautiful commission by the talented Ainna depicts my Lilac and Ethan moments after she accepts his marriage proposal. I completely changed my headcanon for their engagement. It used to happen during a camping trip, but I decided it happens abruptly and without much planning-- just like everything else about them. I hope to tell you all about it in a fic I am working on titled "Daylight" (I might change it because I'm so indecisive with names!)

Together as One

[All Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer Masterlists] [Red Carpet Diaries]

Pairing: Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer (F!OC) Book: Red Carpet Diaries (Post-Book 3) Word Count: ~500 Rating: General: no warnings, all the fluffy fluff Prompts: @choiceschallenge-may2023 - love

Synopsis: Thomas and Alex enjoy a quiet movie night in.

This absolutely adorable and gorgeous art is by the one and only ArtbyAinna. 🤍

The glow of the TV cast a cool light over the room. The familiar sounds of one of their favorite films playing on the screen drowned out the faint snores of their faithful black lab, Bogart, sleeping on the floor beside them.

Alex nestled her head in the crook of Thomas’s neck, taking in his scent and the feel of his soft skin against hers. A blissful smile spread across her face as his arms urged her closer.

His fingers drew mindless paths along her arm, lulling her in the safety of his embrace. The warmth of her breaths tickled his neck. He gazed down at his beautiful wife. Her brown hair fanned out beneath her head on his chest. A contented sigh slipped through his lips at the sight. 

There was a time when he enjoyed films in solitude. It was only without the distraction of others that he could fully appreciate the art of the film. He spent countless hours absorbed in the media, learning and studying from those he considered masters. He took pleasure in the critique of what he watched, and rarely did he stop to just sit and let the story draw him in without any assessment of it. But, with her, everything was different. 

He traced the outline of her jaw with his fingertips, lifting her chin slightly. Her soulful brown eyes met his, warming his chest. He brushed a kiss on her forehead, marveling at how much his life had changed. Now, he had come to enjoy a balance. He still immersed himself when a film warranted it, but he also took the time to enjoy these quiet moments, where the film took a secondary role and became a backdrop to his own Hollywood love story. 

The once overflowing bowl of jalapeño popcorn began to dip as the movie played on. Alex’s eyelids grew heavier with each passing scene. The comfort of the familiar story lulled her further toward sleep.

Thomas held her in his arms, listening to the steady rhythm of her breathing as it gradually slowed. The blue light of the screen cast a dreamlike glow on her features as she slept, making her even more beautiful. His fingers glided gingerly through her hair, savoring her soft, silky strands.

Taking care not to wake her, he pulled the blanket further over her. He couldn't have imagined a more perfect night than this. It didn't matter that the movie was her choice and she had fallen asleep. What mattered was this—the time spent together, with her in his arms where no words needed to be spoken to know the depths of the love they shared.

The best love stories weren't the loudest or the ones with the most memorable dialogue. The best stories were the ones that were told in the quiet whispers between two lovers' hearts, dancing in tune until they began to beat together as one—a love that could only be felt deep in one's soul.

If you made it this far, thank you for giving this drabble a chance. I only had a few minutes to write today, so I apologize if there are any errors. I am trying to spend less time analyzing my writing because that's where my self-doubt kicks in and then I edit it until there is nothing left or I don't share it because of my anxiety. So I hope that you enjoyed this quiet look into their lives. If you did, please consider reblogging and leaving a comment. It means the world to me to hear what you think.

Thank you again for reading this! You are appreciated!!!
