The Elementalists 2 Mini Book Club

I kinda feel bad abandoning The Elementalists completely because I know there were a few people who were looking forward to it so I've come up with an idea for a mini book club.

Choices is currently hosting a binge reading event that will continue through April 4, so if you are looking to play TE2 and earn some rewards, the next 4 days are perfect for that.

I'm keeping the book club open a week through April 8 which is the day of the Total Solar Eclipse (of which, 🤞 I will be traveling to see the totality!) and that event kinda felt fitting to close this book club.

Basically read at your own pace over the next week. Tag @choicesbookclub and #choices book club in whatever content you want related to TE2 (screenshots, fics, art, songs, moodboards, etc) and I will reblog it!

I am not planning to do any chapter specific questions or polls however, should I have time to throw some random polls up throughout the week I will.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. This was a quick last minute thought and I hope that some people will enjoy this mini book club!

Meet our TE MCs:

If you have a profile page for your MC, feel free to send it to me so I can add it to our directory.

so uh...what am i supposed to do after finishing bloodbound iii? just.. go and.. READ A NEW BOOK?? EW🥹. but no fr everytime i finish a choices book / series i really like, i feel this hollowed out feeling in my heart that, NO, CANNOT BE FILLED BY SIMPLY "REPLAYING". i need to go back in time and play it very first time all over again. i felt this way about BSC, og HSS, CoP, OH, QB. IT DOES NOT GET BETTER

like cards on the table, bloodbound was an amazing series that genuinely felt fleshed out with INTENT. everything ties decently together in a cute little ribbon. the characters have a natural progression with mc that isn't just falling over her immediately. all of the characters have developed (even if a tad basic) desires, fears and weaknesses. the world building is also more fleshed then say ...ID (cover your ears ID. you're still one of my children, and like a true mother i love you all equally... its just.. bloodbound is the one who won state science fair at 8, has 40 letters of recommendation from teachers, A/B student, 3.4 gpa and you ID...got a gold star for your third grade spelling bee 👍🏾)

As I replay I am forced once again to admit Kane is exactly my fave kind of character, all that unapologetic chaotic energy. Ugh I always get such a kick out of him.

Since The Elementalists: Winters Past comes out on Wednesday, I finally braved myself and did something I’d been putting off for ages…

…That’s right. I finally hit end book.

A Sweet Sweet Surprise

The Elementalists/ Beckett x MC

Summary: Ellie has the best surprise ever and she just wants to tell Beckett in the sweetest way possible.

Authors Note: Small timeline of their life so far together. 19 – freshman/20- sophomore/21 junior/22 senior/23 dating/24 married/25 married/26 baby would be born. For day 15 of the 41 Days of Cheer Sweet.  Enjoy!

Beckett Harrington absentmindedly stared at the picture of his wife sitting on his desk from their wedding day. It was hard to believe that they were married for a year already. Then it would be two coming up when the new year came.

The now 26-year-old bite his bottom lip before sending his notes. This degree was coming in quite handy as he worked with his dad so far. He was hoping to be working in his desired field by next year though and that was good enough for him. Whistling as he walked, he made his way to the wards to find Ellie.

++++++++++++++++

Meanwhile Ellie was trying to find the perfect book.

Honestly that was the best thing she could do. After all they were going to be reading it a lot. So humming to herself she went over to a certain book section. Looking around she made sure that nobody was watching her before gazing at the covers. They were different from the tuneless books she was used to seeing. Finally picking one up and looking at a recent date on the copywrite pages. Okay so Beckett was the type to be insanely prepared so at least 5 books would be good.

Comfortable she headed up to the register and then continued out the doors.

“Ellie!” called the voice of her friend Shreya Mistry as Ellie covered the books with her sweater from earlier. “Are you shopping without me?”

She was teasing of course and looked down at the bag curiously.

“I got some books for Beckett,” she said nonchalantly. Shreya couldn’t know before Beckett that wouldn’t be good. He had to be the first to know. “What are you shopping for?”

“I’m getting a present for Nehal since she’s graduating Penderghast this year. I’m thinking a new dress but maybe a top,” she said. “What do you think?”

“Top definitely,” agreed Ellie and then wistfully looked down at her feet. It will probably be awhile before she would see them again. “Hey, I have a surprise for Beckett and I’m wondering if you could help me. I want it to be something super sweet but I’m not sure what to get.”

Shreya had to stop and think about that as she looked down at the bag knowing that she already stopped at the book store. Hmm, that was hard since she didn’t know much about Becket despite knowing him for about six or seven years by now.

“Well if you mean in the literal sense maybe chocolate. Ohh there’s a wonderful bakery down the street that gives out samples. We can order him a cake! Then go shopping while we wait.”

“Sounds perfect I could use some new stuff.”

“I bet you do, you look like you’re glowing, what’s your secret?”

“That my dear Shreya you will know when I figure out what it is.”

The two friends giggled and headed out to the bakery first. She was right a lot of this stuff was amazing was amazing and they put in a cake order. Ellie even stealthy got away with getting the cake mix dyed with blue and pink. What else could she do to make things even sweeter?

Finally, after shopping and sneaking in some looser clothing was Ellie back on track to be at home. Just in time for when Beckett arrived. Sighing she had already changed into a loose fitting dress and braided her hair back. Perfect as she heard Beckett come home.

Giddy with excitement she didn’t think twice about her plan. This was going to be the best day ever she thought rubbing her tummy. Oh yes, Beckett was sure to be surprised all right and only on in the best way possible. This was possibly the best news ever.

+++++++++++++

Beckettt had turned into the living room to not find his wife. Frowning he searched the first floor as thoroughly as possible. He could smell dinner cooking by the housekeeper that they had hired but not Ellie. He only laughed at the thought of sniffing Ellie out before heading up the steps. T

His surprise he foud Ellie laying on the soft shag rug in the spare bedroom. She had a smile on her face and humming to herself jotting a few things down on a notebook. Well, the spell was doing the writing but still the concept was sort of the same.

“Ellie,” he said after hearing her mutter something to herself.

“Beckett,” she said turning around and threw her arms around him in a hug. Smiling widely himself he held her close to his body soaking in her warmth. Now this was a way to greet him that he could get used to. Normally he would find her grading papers at the kitchen table. She had pressed her lips against his lips tasting like something sweet.

Holding her there she parted and rested her forehead against his. Her hand cupped his cheek stroking here and there.

“Beckett, I have a surprise for you,” she said pulling him close to her. He paid little attention other than pulling her closer to him.

“What kind of surprise?” he asked teasingly holding her hand now. She hesitated for a moment before nodding more to herself. “Well…”

Knitting his eyebrow cs together he studied her wondering what it was. She had produced a bag as his eyes light up seeing the bookstore logo on the outside.

Eager he reached to the bags as she held it back from him for the moment.

“Hold on, eager aren’t we?” she asked teasing. “We need to be sitting down for this.”

Sitting down, he thought, wondering why that is. Then she passed him the bag before opining it eager to read the contents. Then stared long at the cover of the first book, it had a cute baby on it and the title A Bun in the Oven. Wait a second as he pulled out a second book and then the third fourth and finally fifth. All of the titles similar in nature.

Then his eyes went straight to Ellie grey eyes widened and sucked in his breath. Ellie had grinned at him before putting a hand on her stomach lovingly.

“Congratulations dad,” she said.

No wonder he had to be sitting down for this. Letting out the breath he took, Beckett pushed the books as they fell to the floor and tackled her lovingly. Kissing her softly on the lips and her cheeks Ellie squirmed against him giggling softly. His hands went to the curve of her hip before settling on her stomach. A baby? She was having a baby?! They were going to be parents as he let the news sink in.

“This great a baby,” he said softly into her ear. “I’m going to be a dad.”

Ellie kissed his cheek and just kept him pulled tightly to her body. “Yea you are and I’m going a mom. You know I thought that you might faint so I’m pleasantly surprised.”

He scoffed at the thought but just cheekily grinned. “Well you did get something right, I would be getting tons of books to prepare,” he said his body growing warm at the thought of learning something new. Particularly about his child. “And you might not have gotten enough.”

Ellie swatted him and ran a hand through his hair smirking. “Of course, you know I also had a cake to sweeten the deal. If you want to be rebel, we can eat dessert before dinner...”

Beckett just kissed her softly. “Let’s not get too hasty after all you’re feeding two now,” he whispered. “And I can’t wait for our child to get here.”

This was just the perfect day, he thought, before heading to get dinner. He couldn’t wait to start reading to learn as much as he can.

How to NOT Find the Perfect Christmas Gift

The Elementalists/Beckett Harrington x MC 

Summary: Beckett doesn’t know what to get his long time girlfriend this Christmas.He tries asking which only leads to their bed. 

Authors Note: Steamy, no NSFW scene but it’s pretty hot, so warning! Woo, good to be writing these two again. For the 41 Days of Cheer Challenge, starting out with something hot for black and white. 

Beckett Harrington wrung his hands and peered into their room. Dear gosh, he shouldn’t’ have to spy on his girlfriend to figure out what she wanted for Christmas! Then again, he had picked out jewelry before, clothes were out, and he had a limited view of what non-magical items to get. Hmm, artfully he skipped around and assured himself that she wasn’t around.

Clearing his throat, he knocked on the door just in case she was still there and peered into the room. The bed freshly made and cleaned for the most part. Biting his bottom lip, he looked around for some clue. He smiled at the picture of them dressed up for the black and white ball at his work.

There was a small stuffed lumian sat on her bed, a token of his love for her winked back at him.

“Beckett what are you doing in here?” asked Ellie as she stopped in the door way. Colored flooded to his cheeks as he didn’t realize how soon she might be back.

“I, um, well,” he stuttered, he hadn’t rehearsed an excuse if he was caught.

His girlfriend grinned up at him and slyly slid up next to him. “Are you trying the Christmas present I was going to give you?” she asked a cute blush on her cheeks.

Okay that was an easy out, maybe too easy.

“Yes?” said Beckett making it sound like a question.

Triumphed that she got it right, she just wrapped her arms around him in a hug. “Well you’re out of luck, because I haven’t picked yours up yet. You don’t have to rub it in that you got something for me already.” Her tone teasing as she searched his face looking for his sarcastic remark.

Never mind that remark, he thought, clearing his conscious he decided to come clean to her. “Well you see I haven’t either.”

“The great Beckett Harrington isn’t prepared for Christmas?” she said incredulously and kissed his cheek. “You know you only have 24 days left.”

Sighing he went over and set on her bed picking up the lumien. She followed and rested her head against his shoulder. Her soft body pressed against his that made his toes curl in delight.

“It’s not that I’m underprepared, I have everything planned and when our decorations go up and where.”

She just shook his head as he could already tell she was thinking typical. Sighing he played with the ears on the doll.

“It’s just that we’ve been dating about five years now and we’re living together. I fear that I have exhausted all my gift ideas. So, I came into our room to look for an idea.” The tips of his ears red pink of a slight embarrassment as Ellie just looked thoughtful.

She took his hand and had a small smile of her own on her face. “I kind of have the same problem. I mean there is only so many new watches and day planners that I can give you. How about we just give each other something unexpected, we give each other a hint. Like…”

Ellie’s thoughtful face made him smile as he just watched her, completely enraptured by what she had to say. Her bright green eyes light up and a small sly smile filled her face. She giggled some and turned pink herself at the gift idea.

“Alright, I want a picture of you.”

“A picture of me?” he said a bit dumbfound, what kind of hint was that?

“A picture of you, holding or surrounded by puppies.”

Okay, he could get a puppy or at least create an illusion.

“Same goes for kittens.” ��

A picture of him with soft and cute animals. How charming as he tried to work out the hint. Did she want a pet? They could get a pet together. Although maybe an actual Lumian? Then they would have all of the pets the school offered at least.

“A baby.”

A baby?! Was that a hint that she wanted a family? Oh, he didn’t even propose yet! Smiling he just nodded with a straight poker face.

“Meanwhile you’re completely naked.”

“WHAT?!” Beckett nearly shouted at that as he jumped up. She wanted a picture of him surrounded by puppies and kittens holding a baby while naked?!

Ellie just started to laugh very hard at that as she doubled over on the bed. “That’s just a joke Beckett, I’m sorry but you should have seen your face. Although there might be a hint in there or something you could take away from that.”

Maybe getting a gift wouldn’t be as black and white as he thought it would be. His grey eyes widened before he started to laugh too.

“Oh, I will get you for that.”

With that he jumped on the bed after her as Ellie giggled trying to escape the bed. Catching her wrists he pulled her close and rolled on top of her kissing her as passionately as he could. Ellie shook next to him still laughing as she kissed back, her arms going around his neck pulling him close. His teeth caught her lower lip as she opened her mouth for him.

This was perfect and total bliss. She tugged at his shift before pushing her hands above her head.

“No, no, no. I have you exactly where I want you,” he said holding her wrists above her head.

Ellie just looked excited as wrapped her legs around his waist. His kisses going down from her neck to the top of her shirt.

“I think I know what you can give me,” he said his free hand skimming along the hemline of her shirt. “A picture of you.” He muttered a spell and locked metal handcuffs around her wrists. “Surrounded by books.” She moaned against him pressing a kiss to his collarbone after discarding his own shirt. “And in your most revealing school girl uniform.”

A musical laugh escaped her lips shortly after his own. He kissed down her breast as she arched her back pushing her body close to him. He rubbed her breast and smiled at him begging for another kiss with her brilliant green eyes. Brown hair covered an eye as he brushed it away from her face.

“Tell me what you really want Ellie, here and for Christmas,” he said trying once more.

“I think you know.”

She kissed him avoiding the question, but who cared. Beckett had her and that was all that mattered.

This was bliss, this was exactly what he wanted. A moment like this more then the once a week he got. Picking out a gift wasn’t going to be easy and it wouldn’t be as fun as this. Ellie was his sunshine, and all was right in the world when he was with her. Beckett just needed a something that showed that love.  

In their frenzy to take off their clothes a black and white picture fell off the side table. Hmm, maybe that might give him an idea glancing at it. Later, he thought, and continued to kiss his girlfriend.
