ETHAN EDWARDS | SUMMER LOVIN’

pairing: ethan edwards x fem!reader

word count: 1.4K

summary: you and ethan take a trip to your family’s beach house.

warnings: swearing i think

note: hey bestie!! tysm for requesting and i hope you like it. this imagine is kinda random but i love it <33

you and ethan were currently staying at your family’s beach house since they insisted that you bring along your adored boyfriend. after sleeping in a little too late, you pull one of ethan’s t-shirts over your head, covering the bathing suit you were wearing before grabbing your beach bag and heading down to where your family was.

taking your regular spot on your lounge chair, you situate your towel before looking around for your boyfriend. you spot him throwing a frisbee around, with your siblings and some of your younger cousins.

you can’t lie, watching ethan laugh with your family and the fact that he’s shirtless with slightly wet hair from the ocean has your attraction for him skyrocketing.

“stop undressing with your eyes y/n, this is a family event, jeez have some shame.” your favourite cousin alexa says from her lounge chair beside yours. “i mean i can’t blame you, hockey does that boy wonders but get it together before your dad sees and takes him out of your room.”

“very funny lex, i’m simply admiring him from a distance.”

“no, grandma is admiring him from a distance because she thinks he’s a sweet boy, you are undressing him your eyes because he’s your hot hockey boyfriend and ellie is in love with him because she’s three and ethan hasn’t stopped giving her attention since he woke up.”

you look back over to ethan only to find your youngest cousin ellie clinging to him as he holds her to him with one hand and throws the frisbee with the other. she giggles when he poorly throws the frisbee causing ethan to grin and tickle her sides.

“is it normal to get baby fever at 19?” you ask in a high pitch voice.

alexa laughs “no it’s not, but i think if i saw lottie with a kid i’d get it too.”

“why didn’t you bring lottie again?” you ask, you loved alexa’s partner and really wished they were here with you guys.

“they’re travelling with their family. i believe they’re in greece right now.”

you groan in jealousy “that sounds amazing.”

“right? i’ll show you the pictures they sent me later, the scenery is to die for.”

you two stay silent until alexa laughs catching your attention “what is it lex?”

“elliot is back again this year.” she says, teasingly wiggling her eyebrows.

“oh my god, no. ethan will loose his mind if elliot comes over here.”

“jealous type, huh? makes sense, he seems too nice.”

you two watch as the beaches life guard elliot (an older guy who had been hitting on you for years) takes his silk robe off his body (yes silk robe) and reveals his very skimpy cheetah print speedo.

you both cringe at the sight “it get’s worse every year!” you say and continue watching as he lathers some sort of oil on his chest and legs and soon you and alexa’s laughter is so loud that it catches ethan’s attention.

ethan hearing one of his favourite sounds, looks over at you and smiles at the sight of you in his t-shirt, the number 73 and “edwards” adorning the back of it as you throw your head back and laugh. he excuses himself from your family, making all of them protest but he promises to come back so they let him go.

the laughter had died down a bit and now you were digging through your bag attempting to find your sunglasses when you feel two arms wrap around your waist and ethan nuzzle his head into your neck.

“hi eddy.” you mumble as he tightens his grip on you. you see alexa smirk slyly at the two of you before turning the page of her comic book.

“you look pretty.” is all he says making you smile and whisper a small thanks. “so what’re you gonna do now? come play frisbee”

“maybe later, me and lex are gonna tan for a bit and then we’ll join you.”

ethan pouts and sits on your chair in protest. “but i want to spend time with you too!”

“i’d offer you to sit with us but it’s girl talk time eddy…”

“but why can’t i listen? i know everything about you and i’m a very good secret keeper.”

“uh first of all you’re a terrible secret keeper and second you are the main topic of girl talk because you’re my boyfriend.”

he tries to interject “but-”

“eddy teddy!” you hear ellie whine. “hurry up!”

ethan gives you a look as you hold back a laugh “eddy teddy?” you question making him blush and look at his feet.

“you can’t say no to her…”

“oh trust me, we know.” alexa buts in, rolling her eyes. “that kid gets whatever she wants because she’s cute. it’s so fucking unfair but i cant be mad because i’d give her the world and all she’d have to say is please.”

you nod in agreement before turning back to your pouty boyfriend “now go back too ellie before she starts throwing a temper tantrum. i will be here, if you need me.”

ethan huffs but makes his way back to where they ere playing frisbee. you watch as ellie squeals in excitement when ethan picks her up again.

“oh i definitely have baby fever.” you say too alexa who laughs again.

-

after catching up with alexa and tanning for a little too long, you two decide to go join the frisbee game but notice that they aren’t there anymore.

“where the hell did they go?” alexa asks, looking around the beach to see if they could locate them.

“i have no idea.” you say, already reaching for your phone so you could call ethan but your mom calling your name stops you, she tells you that lunch is ready and that everyone was waiting for you and alexa to join them.

whoops

you two make your way to the table where everyone is sitting, you take your seat next to ethan who’s in some sort of hockey conversation with your uncle and fill your plate with some food for yourself then fill ethan’s.

“you’re a lucky man ethan, my wife never filled my plate for me when we were young.” you hear your uncle say.

“yeah well you never looked like that did you, frank?” your aunt says from beside him.

ethan laughs before looking over you “i’d say i’m pretty lucky to have someone to fill my plate for me.”

your aunt scoffs looking between the two of you “just get married already.”

you gape at her and ethan’s eyes go wide “aunt diane we’re only nineteen!”

it’s then alexa decides to open her mouth “well you’re already think about ki-”

you’re quick to slap a hand over her mouth making her laugh against it “alexa y/l/n, you shut your mouth!”

“alright! alright!”

rolling your eyes, you look at ethan who’s giving you a questioning look, you simply smile at him and continue eating your lunch.

-

the rest of the day is filled with swimming, beach volleyball and ultimate frisbee like you promised.

currently it’s the early evening and your family is out getting ice cream. you and an exhausted ethan decide to stay back because although he’s a d1 athlete, nothing could’ve compared him to a whole day with your entire family.

you lay on the hammock outside, reading a book when ethan walks over “can i lay with you?”

you open your arms for him “course you can.”

he’s careful when lying down on top of you, and eventually makes himself comfortable on your chest. you gently put your book down and start running your fingers through his hair as he sighs in content.

“i love it here.” he mumbles into your neck.

“i knew you would and i love it even more now that you’re here.”

“that’s good because i don’t think i want to leave.”

you laugh quietly “i don’t think new jersey would like that too much.”

“no they would not.” he says, his voice sleepy.

“you tired eddy?”

“mhm.”

“get some sleep baby, you’re gonna need it for game night.”

ethan squeezes your body tighter to him “i love you.”

you smile into his hair, pressing a kiss to his head “i love you too.”

when your family comes back from getting ice cream, it’s your aunt diane that finds the two of you asleep in the hammock.

“only nineteen my ass.” she mutters and walks back inside to inform the rest of your family of your guys’ whereabouts.

Here it is. A Piece Of Borrower Content Written Entirely In Stream Of Consciousness:

AN: so this is incomplete and very…needs revisions to the timeline to incorporate some things I added later! It’s the original universe that Mira’s from! I edited it like Slightly to just change Ross’s name to Ross (if u see Max anywhere that’s his old one I just felt like changing it so that’s just him but different. Anyway) Everything's under the readmore tab, cheers!

The Library Fairy:

-

Basic Plot (Chrono, comic starts from human perspective abt the ‘legend of the library fairy’ ig maybe. Nothing here is permanent cept the characterization)

Part A

1- Mira is borrower currently chillin in a college library

2- She lives off of the cafe on the second floor nd reads lots and lots of stuff about everything when the upper floors close (lower floor open 24/7 but upper floors r vacant p much after 12:00 AM)

3- she starts getting increasingly curious about human stuff cos she’s literate nd books r pry neat

4- it starts one night when she spots an unattended notebook and a half eaten blueberry muffin, nd it’s 12:30 so nobody’s coming back in atm (it’s the 80s so no laptops for the plebians quite yet)

5- so she goes ‘welp’ nd takes part of the muffin, then sees the work on the page and goes ‘hmmmm this is incorrect’ so she helps our and leaves notes here n there to point the kid in the right direction and puts down some book refs for further study bcos at this point she’s been there for 2 years and she knows where most things are

6- she stays behind to see if the human comes back for it, hidden in a hidey hole near the desk

7- human comes in, sees notebook, practically melts w relief nd stuffs it in his bag

8- next day human comes back nd leaves nother notebook and a cookie, along w a hidden camera

9- Mira goes ‘o boy, this a trap, innit’

10- Mira then decides ‘eh whatever I haven’t had contact w anyone in years now so I might as well’

11- she steals the camera film nd leaves a lil scrap of paper saying ‘nice try ;)’ on it

12- student comes back, sees paper, goes ‘dammit’, then leaves note addressed to the ‘library fairy’ and another cookie, as well as more of their work for her to help with

13- bout a decade goes by and now the “Library Fairy” is an urban myth, it’s currently 2003 so she’s also wound up on the school’s unofficial Wikipedia page under ‘local cryptids’

14- most library employees know of her but they don’t go looking out of fear stemming from superstitions bout her, somehow the legend grew from ‘can’t be photographed’ to ‘a student once saw her and died that day’

15- there’s now a small shrine devoted to her where ppl bring offerings hoping to get good grades in return, sometimes they will leave papers for her to proofread nd stuff

16- new prof (named Alexei) finds online article thinks he Knows What’s Up bcos he had a borrower friend as a kid, but they left when borrower’s fam found out about them knowing each other

17- he leaves note wedged in one of her secret entrances behind outlet, asking if she can meet w him at some point

18- Mira, already In it, goes ‘Okay. Alright. This has gone on for long enough. Time to go and never return’ but ofc she’s curious as all hell and like she decides she will at least honor the guy’s request for a convo b4 she goes, but on her terms and w/o speaking face 2 face

19- they Talk in the library after hours, bcos he paid off the janitor to let him stay after hours nd most of the student employees recognize him as a prof nd leave him alone

20- they talk again for every subsequent night

21- she uhhhh finally decides to reveal herself nd prays that her hunch was right nd he won’t try to grab her or anything

22- he doesn’t but she’s nervous so she winds up gettin caught in her own climbing rope like idiot, is now dangling from ceiling in tangled mess

23- he stifles chuckle nd she says smthn sarcastic

24- he moves closer and offers to untangle her

25- she’s like ‘please’

26- so he do, but her grip on the rope slips nd he has to catch her

26- so now she’s in his hand and he just sets her down and now he’s a bumbling embarrassed mess bcos he said he wasn’t going to hold her and he just did and o dear pls forgib him

28- nd she’s like ‘dude u just saved my life it’s fine ur fine chill’

29- internally she’s going HOLY FUCK AAAAAAA but externally, her human’s already worked up enough as it is so she’s gotta b the level headed one

29.5- after a while they both kinda get used to each other more, he gets tenure, they celebrate, some more stuff happens, Aleksei got married (not to Mira, Mira hasn’t actually rly thought about being in a relationship w anyone cos she’s laser focused on gaining as much knowledge as possible)

30- eventually Alexei’s like ‘hey so I’m dean of faculty for the biotech branch now uhhhh would u like actual job teaching students? Cos, uh, you can do it remotely thru online lectures n stuff, no in person interaction, and I uh was just kinda wondering—‘

31- she’s like ‘yes. Yes!!! LET ME HELP PEOPLE OFFICIALLY KINDA’

32- so now she’s a professor, and has revealed her Secret a few times here n there to a number of the faculty, nd she has recorded her own findings in a personal journal

33- ‘humans will treat u like a human if they think ur human first. The kids call it ‘catfishing’’

34- enter Ross, an mall goth who accidentally tripped headfirst into a premed program

35- Mira’s favorite field of study is bio so naturally she’s his prof for a majority of his classes

36- being the good boy that he is, he now knows Mira’s secret. There is an Entire Chapter on him finding out and legit just continuing their conversation as if everything was normal bcos he thought that was how he was supposed to handle the situation

37- then she says ‘u can ask questions, u know’ he’s like OH THANK FUCK CAUSE I HAVE SEVEN HUNDRED OF THOSE

38- and now he kinda knows what to look for in terms of ‘do borrowers live here check yes or no’

39-in his apartment, the answer is yes and he mistakenly kinda stumbles upon the mom one night when he wakes up in the middle of the night for Snack and opts to pretend like its not happening. Unfortunately the thing she was trying 2 borrow (piece of crumb cake for Son Boy’s birthday) is the thing he wants 2 eat so he’s like “uh. ‘Scuse me, ma’am.” and he peels back the saran wrap on the other side of the plate, takes piece, nd then leaves some there for her

40-so now the woman is like ‘welp guess it time 2 Leave’

.1- she and husband Talk

.2-they decide it best 2 go

.3-theyre Packing

.4-lil bab Ellie confused

.5-hawk attacke

.6-cut to Ross

41- Ross also happens to work at a bar and he goes outside for a break

43- he finds smal child—smol smal—on the sidewalk and said child is missing an arm, nd has lost a lot of blood, so he’s uhhhhh Losing It highkey

43.5-parents r nowhere 2 b seen, but the hawk is nearby and circling. Ross gets an idea of what just happened

44- he up and leaves work, thankfully his apartment is above the shop so he jumps up the fire escape w the child and

45- he make tourniquet

46- he calls Mira nd asks her 2 come over to ASAP. he’s A Mess at this point

47- it is Very touch and go, kid needs blood, Mira is the only viable donor so she’s just gotta pray that the blood type is fine and won’t kill him

48- and then eventually they manage 2 stave infection thru antibiotics properly dosed to his size, Mira does Math and Prays basically

49- ‘bout a month in, kid wakes up

50- kid doesn’t rember much since he’s only 3

51- hes v scared of Ross at first but over time he gets used 2 the human

52- kid (elliot) starts 2 call Ross ‘dad’ after a while

53- Ross: *internal screaming but in a good way*

54- the end kinda for now

Part 2

A- New Borrowers In The Building

—three of em. paranoid dad, mom, nd daughter that’s Elliot’s age so he’s pumped

B- Elliot offers them a place 2 stay briefly

C- he knows by now bout like, how borrowers don’t typically interact w humans and Auntie Mira’s a bit of a weird case so he just doesn’t tell em bout his dad being the human

D- the kid finds out first nd doesn’t tell the parents, but they figure it out later kinda and think that it’s a ‘o god he’s being kept as a pet’ sitch so they’re >:| abt it

E- they move out and try to take Elliot w them (by force bcos they think he’s brainwashed) but he escapes and makes it to Ross, who’s like “uhhhhhh”

F- and the mom come out the hole near the counter n starts yelling at Ross, who is…kinda used to it since Mira brings in ppl who need help from time 2 time and they typically don’t react well when they’re lucid enough to understand what’s going on. He’s just not used to being questioned about his own kid

G- so they’re like “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING WITH HIM”

H- and he’s like “r…raising him???”

I- and Ellie steps up and he’s like “this is my dad. I decided he was my dad when I was three. He’s being a good parent”

J- and Ross is like “yeah what he said. I’m a good parent.”

K- Ross is riding that high til the end of fucking time but like back to the story at hand

L- this is when the husband comes out nd is like “lissen. wifey. ily but that is a very big human and he hasn’t grabbed us yet so let’s count our blessings and gtfo”

M- but she’s like “uh no we stay until I’m sure Elliot is Safe and fucking Sound”

N- so they stay for dinner nd stick around a little longer.

O- Val (the kid) gets closer 2 Elliot and also Ross a bit

P- Mira shows once or twice, first time she shows up they’re like “oh god it’s the crazy doctor lady this all makes sense now” (bcos Mira does check up on as many borrower families as possible in her free time so word has got around by now Of her, and the number by which to contact her in case her services r needed)

Q- After a month or so, then they decide to leave bcos they’re like “look we get that ur son is ur son and he only has one arm and in our profession that is kind of a death sentence but we can’t have our kid getting used to dealing w humans who know about our existence” so they go and leave on a kind of sour note bcos Ellie can do anything he wants to do just as well as any other borrower Thank You Very Much and Ross is ready to fite anyone who thinks otherwise

R- Elliot starts trying 2 b more independent, basically from now on he’s like ‘I can do everything my Damn Self Thanks’

S- but uh he does it to a point where he’s going out of the way to endanger himself

T- so they get into a fite about it and ross Yells and Elliot is like ‘kthxbye’

U- and the boi just. Fuckin bolts. Runs Away. Ross is a Mess, he starts smoking again (he quit cold turkey the day he took Elliot in) to curb the depression, he’s jus. Not doin good, worried that his son is dead and the last time they talked it’d ended badly

V- FREEDOM!!!1! Except Ellie doesn’t kno how to take care of himself so it’s a rough month or so and then he runs into some other borrowers livin in their own town in the wild ig, chillin, being hella independent, and he’s like “uh yes ofc I will join u, I was w my dad for a while but.........” he neither confirms nor denies that his dad’s dead but everyone kinda just assumes.

Part 3

W-anyway a year goes by and then the borrower group gets hit hard w some kind of sickness ig. Elliot gets it too he’s basically incapacitated n drifting in and out of lucidity. So. They contact the weird crazy doctor lady who hangs around humans, a.k.a. Mira, and she’s like “oh. fuck. I know this kid.” bcos she does, u kno, and she jus treats em all for their ailment and shows them how to make antibiotic poultice thing in case smthn like it happens again. Mold. Penicillin is basically what it is

X-she and Elliot hav a Chat (Mira basically yells at him a lot) once he’s fixed up and he decides he’s gonna visit his dad but he makes it very clear that he is a Grown Up (he’s not, he’s literally sixteen), and he is living on his own now

Y- he agrees to stay for a week tho since he misses his home a lot tbh and Ross is just. Over the fucking moon to know he’s ALIVE, he’s not gonna fuck up their relationship by insisting that he stay. Or like, by keeping him ofc he would never

Z- unfortunately the borrower community put two and two together and figured out his dad’s human so they have his stuff packed up when he gets back w mira, who’s ready to go the fuck off on them

End 1:

-Ellie is living at Ross’s place atm and hopeful about the future basically. He eventually will go off on his own but he’ll keep in contact w his dad and stuff

Part C.5

55- few yrs later

56- elliot is Adult now he does adult borrower stuff

57- he moves out

58- finds nice borrower gf (her name’s Tess)

59- doesn’t tell her about his dad being human but talks about his dad a LOT

60- so when she asks to meet said father he’s just like “uh. Maybe we don’t do that actually”

61- and she’s like “y tho”

62- and he’s like “bcos”

63- anyway she decides to look into it cos she knows he goes to see his dad nd keep in touch but his dad is allegedly “a recluse who lives in the big scary human’s walls to avoid other ppl”

64- which is. Not true in the slightest tbqh he’s def not an introvert he’s just a workaholic and he Is the big scary human

65- anywho they run into Val and her wife and she’s like “how’s Ross been?” And Elliot is acting Very Suspish so she, being Smart, calls it immediately and is like “oh shit u haven’t told her yet have u”

66- Tess: “told me what”

67- Val: “El’s dad is a human, bro.”

68- Tess: “I’m sorry?”

69- this results in a Big Fight and they separate for like, a month. Elliot blames Val bcos he’s being irrational and doesn’t wanna admit to the fact that lying to his girlfriend for over a year was Real Bad Actually, but over time he’s like ‘yeah it’s my fault sry for snapping at u’ cos he works thru his emotions n stuff

70- Eventually gf comes back cos she’s like “ok so. I understand why you lied to me about your dad. It was a dick move but I do get it and I still care about you a lot. I would like. To meet him.”

80- this is a lie she does not want to meet him she is doing this bcos she does not want to lose Elliot and that outweighs the fear of his dad

81- so they go to meet him but she’s just kinda. Behind the wall at first like “that’s a crazy big human this is crazy ur crazy it’s time to gO”

82- Val is also there bcos she hasn’t seen Ross in a while

83- they eventually coax her out of hiding

84- and by that I mean Val picks her up and drags her out into the open by force bcos she basically freezes up the second she catches sight of Ross and Val’s like “u didn’t come all this way for nothing, bich”

85- they have a Painfully Awkward First Meeting, Tess is trying her best but oh god he’s just too fucking. Larg. Ellie ur dad too big

86- tbh tho the ice kinda breaks after Ellie and Ross get into a fight over smthn stupid (im thinking Elliot grumbles bout Ross’s hair being unruly and he’s worried that mira’s using it like a personal storage system again and Ross is like “I’ve been keeping better track of that actually” and then like a little line of paper clips and a few hand-bound notebooks tied together w some string fall out of his fucking mane and he’s like “I can explain”

87- “dad you can’t keep letting her use your hair like a fucking NEST”

88- Tess is laughing now cos god damn this was not what she was expecting

89- that’s it the end it ends w Tess laughing at them being idiots good times r had by all

Uhhhh that’s it so far. I have More but it’s kinda jumbled rn and I need to fit stuff in places. Anyway.
