#derek x tamarack

[differenteagletragedy]

Dear dear writer friend I hope this message finds you well. I am a simple person and all I come to request is an extra part for your 'Daddy Baxter' series whatever you like but if youre looking for an idea maybe their little girl is older and they have a second child?

Dad Baxter is my favorite, bless you for this!!!

It was a Friday night, and you and Baxter were tired from a long week. You lounged on the couch together, snuggled cozily under a quilt, half watching tv and half chatting.

Your daughter, Penny, was out at a sleepover, so you had the house to yourselves.

You both had lapsed into a stretch of silence, and your eyelids were drooping as Baxter lazily stroked your hair.

Then he started talking.

"Would you like to know what I've been thinking about?" he asked.

"What's that?"

"Let me give you a hint," he said, bringing the hand that had been on your head down to your side.

He worked his warm fingers under the hem of your shirt and touched your stomach. You waited for him to go either further up or further down, sure he was trying to put the moves on you, but he didn't. His hand remained planted in the same spot.

Before you could guess, he started rubbing small circles on your belly, and in a lower voice he said, "I've been thinking about something growing right here."

You moved your head as best you could without actually moving, getting a glimpse of his face out of the corner of your eye. He was smirking, but he was serious.

"You want to have another baby."

"I think it would be enjoyable, yes."

You'd talked about having another kid one day after having Penny, but obviously there had never been any concrete plans. For him to put it out there so plainly and so suddenly had you reeling a bit.

Reading your expression correctly, he explained, "I find myself missing some of the moments from when Penny was younger, and in my humble opinion, we do make beautiful children together. But most importantly, and you may find this a tad surprising, is that I do find myself having more love to give."

You sat up for real at that point, facing him completely.

"That's not surprising at all."

Sometimes, every once in a while, the old Baxter popped up again. The self-deprecation that he tried to play off as a joke but that had a little too much bite. At this point in your relationship, you shut it down immediately when it reared its ugly head.

He smiled at you, aware of what you were doing. He moved his hand from your stomach up to your face, which he cupped lovingly. Then he kissed you, long and deep.

Pulling back just a bit, he said, "I understand completely if you don't want to have another child. I know it's a lot to ask, in many different ways. But if you do think you might want to --"

Before he could finish, you met his lips again. There was more passion this time, enough that it was an answer: yes, you would like to have another baby.

"Just by the way," you told him as you started undressing, "it might take a little longer to happen this time. We're not quite as young as we used to be."

As fate would have it, you'd already done enough waiting in your relationship.

Two months later, you were back in a bathroom with Cove, a line of pregnancy tests on the counter. This time, it wasn't in his old apartment in town -- he and Xavier had moved into a house down the block from the one you shared with Baxter. The door was cracked so he could listen for his son who was napping in his bedroom nearby.

"Well?" Cove asked, smiling down at you.

"Looks like you're going to be an uncle again."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Baxter was a wonderful father. He was there, ready and willing and eager to take care of you throughout your pregnancy, and the first time he held Penny, you saw his entire world change. He put so much love and care into being a parent, so it didn't surprise you at all to see how tender he was in the delivery room after you'd given birth to your son.

As the doctors and nurses were finishing up, you held the baby to your chest, and Baxter was leaned down close, openly crying. He planted a gentle kiss on his forehead, then gave you one as well.

Later, when you were moved to a regular room, you were holding the baby again, but this time Baxter was lying in bed with you, his arms around you and one hand stroking your son's back.

"I've got my names, have you got yours?" he asked quietly.

When Penny was born, you'd been the one to come up with her first name, and he insisted on giving her two middle names -- your mothers' names. After you got pregnant again, he suggested doing the same thing, but you'd waited to find out the baby's sex until the birth, so nothing was set in stone.

"I think so," you whispered, glancing up at him. "How do you feel about James?"

It was Cove's middle name, but it was also nice and solid. You thought Baxter would appreciate both, and he did.

"I was wondering, and let me know if you disagree, but I thought it might be nice if one of his middle names was Alexander?" he said.

"Of course," you said quickly, knowing how found he was of his own middle name. "But you've got one left."

He looked down at the baby, thinking for a moment, then said, "If we gave Penny your mothers' names, then I see no reason to break with tradition now."

You looked at him again, not understanding where he was going with that. He smiled back at you.

"James Alexander Clifford Ward," he said. "What do you think?"

You could have blamed the tears on hormones, but they would have come regardless.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Nearly a year later, you had certainly gotten back into the routine of having a baby. It helped that this time around you had a third family member who was all too eager to help -- Penny was obsessed with her little brother, and the feeling was definitely mutual.

One day you came home from work, utterly spent, and as you were walking down the hallway to your bedroom you saw Baxter standing in the doorway to your daughter's room. He heard you coming, held a finger to his lips and smiled.

When you got closer, he pulled you to his side, snaking an arm around your waist. You looked inside and saw both of your children asleep on Penny's bed.

You watched them together for a moment before Baxter let you go, walking softly into the room and putting a blanket from the bed over them. As he walked out, he gave you a wink.

"We make cute kids, huh?" you asked, taking another look at them.

"Care to go for three?"

"Not on your life."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

With Penny, things had been easy for Baxter, in terms of her interests. When she was little she liked playing dress up and having tea parties -- he was good at that. When she'd gotten older, she turned into a reader, and that was something they shared too. In general, they had similar tastes.

James, however, was different. That's why you were standing in Derek's yard on a Saturday morning, watching your old friend teach your husband the ins and outs of football.

Your son was 11, he'd just entered middle school, and he was desperate to try out for the team. He'd asked Baxter to help him, and of course he would, it's just that he had absolutely no idea about any of it. But Uncle Derek did. He was teaching them both as you stood close by the house with Derek's wife, Tamarack.

"I think he'll get it," she said, a little too much forced optimism in her voice.

"Baxter or James?" you asked.

"Yeah."

The two of you laughed -- you were too far away to hear what the guys were saying, but based on the look of confusion that hadn't left Baxter's face since they'd stepped out together, you couldn't imagine it was going very well.

Eventually, Derek took the ball and ran off a ways with it. You watched him lift it, then throw it to James, who caught it easily. Derek cheered him on, then jogged back over and made a gesture to Baxter, who turned and walked off. There was a little more coaching, then James took the ball in his hands carefully, then sent it soaring towards his father.

Baxter had grace and agility, a born dancer, but he was not quite an athlete. He couldn't catch the ball, and instead, it hit him in the face. He stumbled and brought his hands up to his face, and a few seconds later you saw blood seeping out between his fingers.

"Oh no!" Tamarack said, already moving for the back door. "I'll go get the first aid kit!"

You ran out to where Baxter stood, sheepishly holding his bloody nose. James and Derek were there already, looking concerned.

"I'm all right," Baxter said. His voice came out a little stuffy, but he offered a thumbs up to drive his words home.

"I'm sorry," James said, his brown eyes locked on the ground. "I didn't think about you not being able to catch it."

Derek snorted, then started coughing to cover up his laughter. That set you off, and you tried clearing your throat as a cover.

"Amused by my suffering, hmm?" Baxter asked, cocking an eyebrow at you both. "Go ahead, don't hold back on my account."

When Tamarack came back with supplies to patch up Baxter, she got him cleaned up quickly. His nose was busted, not broken, so you and Derek felt free to continue giggling at his expense.

"I'll tell you what," Baxter told Derek after the bleeding stopped. "You help me not injure myself around a football, and I'll be there for all your children's dancing and formalwear needs."

Derek was about to respond, but Tamarack cut in with "And plan their weddings for free."

Baxter glared at her for a moment, then looked over at James, who had gone off by himself for this boring part of the morning. He was practicing his hold on the football, miming throwing it until someone was free to play with him again.

"It's a deal."

Guys what if I started writing for visual novels…

I’ve played a lot, if anyone has any requests leave them for me. Also suggest more VNs cuz I’m running dry.

So far I’ve played:

- our life (all dlcs for 1, beta tester for 2)

- blooming panic

- Error 143

- 14 days with you

- Sunny Day Jack

- My Dear Hatchet Man

I definitely forgot some, so just comment whatever character and the title of the game you want from me and I’ll try to fulfill the request. Also I’m in a JJK mood recently so,,,yk,,,maybe

Toodles ~

[covesdadappreciation]

Games I think the Romanceables would play

Tamarack: I feel like when it's winter, she craves that autumn feeling, so she'll play games like these.

Stardew Valley (Has only one save in the game, and tries to make her farm look pretty but she's more focused on keeping a routine in the game)

Minecraft (Building a little village and having an army of cats or dogs. Has built many treehouses)

Sky - Children of the Light (The one who is actively looking for player to share a candle with)

....

Qiu: He plays games later when he's older. Middle school he's become slightly more reserved, so having a game to destress by himself always helps

Animal Crossing "What do you mean you don't wanna look at my island? Guys."

A Tale of Crowns He seems like the type to enjoy prince x knight and multi-choice stories.

Detroit Become Human The amount of times he's almost had a breakdown just trying to make everyone happy.

Cove: He prefers classic games, nothing too big or a waste of money.

Unpacking He cries

Tetris He stresses

Legend of Zelda, the Windwaker (my childhood fr) he's obsessed

Baxter: He doesn't play games, he claims. He's too busy going out and being busy, but if he ever truly had a rare moment or just by looking at him... he's choose these.

The Sims Self explanatory.

Hollow Knight He feels like he's one with the knight.

Stray Cats and Robots in a game? He's sold. Take his money.

Derek: Derek plays a lot of video games (a healthy amount), he loves it. I imagine he's played these games while you guys weren't together for a while :(

Until Dawn He got jump scared at least twice

Final Fantasy 14 if he has the time. it's a really long game. He plays either a Hyur or Hrothgar Paladin.

The Last of Us 1 and 2. He played the 2nd first though, and he was really upset at that choice when he finished playing)

not rlly an ask but i think ur onto something with renee li like if there were going to be dlcs aside from wedding and moments (which there aren’t due to time) i feel like there would be a renee dlc like baxter / derek in ol1

Tbh a lot of us were thinking that Renee would become a dlc Li as a stretch goal during the crowfunding before we got told that it was not a possibility due to the very understandable issue of « this would add way too much work » and in a way we got the Poly route option at least.

I think why renne fit as a li is because she has the same position than Qiu and tamarack hold ( a kid the same age who you befriend and with who you grow up with ) which in my mind makes her even more of a li position than derek and baxter ( both not appearing before step 2 and having one step where they are not in entierly)

And also simply I just think she’s neat you know ? Trans girl who likes zelda and has an angsty phase in her childhood but who’s chill and has an endearing personality ? Sign me up, truly sign me up !

Understandably we won’t get a dlc for her but that dosen’t stop the Renee love her to hype our wife okay- I love her very much and in my heart and headcanons my mc and her are kissing alright- who’s gonna stop me ?!? The sapphics yearns for renee content okay-

Also on a side note i am more than on the renee x tamarack train. This ship is adorable !!!!

[cinna-rose]

So... *leans against this post* I got invested into this idea and the discord server I'm in didn't help and grew it into an entire au, so now you guys get Our Life x Avatar headcanons made by the server :)

Cove would 100% be a water bender. However, he'd get his bending from Kyra instead of Cliff. Cove used to learn water bending from his mom, but when Kyra and Cliff got divorced, Cove didn't have anyone to teach him water bending anymore (since I see Cliff as a non bender in this au).

Derek is an earth bender. If his siblings are also earth benders, (or benders in general) I can see him being the one to try and keep everything in order and not chaotic. If they aren't benders, then I feel like Derek would be relied on a lot.

Now Baxter? he wouldn't be a bender. His family probably came from a lineage of benders and when Baxter turned out as a non bender, his parents would push him to be better in other things, but would always be disappointed that he wasn't a bender.

Baxter being a non-bender would make his feelings of inadequacy worse. He would have to find ways to stand out in a world where people can bend things like fire and water and move the ground.

Qiu would be a fire bender and would amazing at it. In step 1, they'd use his bending to impress people and their popularity would probably be bigger since he can bend almost flawlessly.

In step 2, Qiu wouldn't use their bending in public anymore and would only use it around the people he's close with.

Tamarack would be an earth bender, but she wouldn't be good at it. She wouldn't put too much time in training and wouldn't want to since she thinks earth bending would destroy the forest.

In step 2, Tamarack would try to practice her earth bending due to her being insecure that she can't bend too well, but she struggles with it.

Renee would be a fire bender, which helped her friendship with Qiu in their childhood. While she wouldn't be as good at it than Qiu is, she can manage it well

Liz would be a fire bender. Pamela would be a fire bender and Noelani would be a water bender. I can see Pamela and Noelani adopting Liz and a MC that they could teach bending to if they were benders.

As for Lee, she would be an Airbender.

Terry would be a water bender while Miranda is a Airbender.

Xavier would be a non-bender and it's one of the things that helped them and Baxter get along.

Now, if either MC is the avatar...

Cove would be surprised when you first meet, but he gets over it pretty quickly. He'd be glad that there's someone else who can waterbend with him.

When Derek meets an Avatar!MC, he would be shocked and it'd take a while for Derek to see it as normal.

An Avatar!MC would make Derek be harder on himself and push his earthbending abilities to be a suitable partner for the avatar.

Baxter's problem with seeing value in himself and feeling like he's not good enough to be with the MC would be doubled if he's with an Avatar!MC. 

When first meeting Avatar!MC, Baxter would freak out internally but keep a cool front

If Baxter is with an Avatar!MC, his parents would see it as an opportunity for better connections and Baxter would hate that because he doesn't want his relationship with the MC to just be something to satisfy his parents.

When Qiu meets an Avatar!MC they would be surprised at first but would take it in a stride and proudly talk about being friends with the Avatar to anyone that will listen

If asked, Qiu would be happy to help MC with fire bending (they get even more giddy if they’re at crush with the MC)

Tamarack would be in awe that they're the avatar because they can control all four of the elements rather than the social status and influence that comes with being the avatar

Noelani and Pamela would go into shock because they adopted a child that's the avatar, but would try their best to help an avatar!mc learn the elements

wait hang on tamarack/derek???? 👀👀👀👀👀

SO GLAD YOU ASKED.

So if OLBA MC ends up with Baxter, then they go back to Golden Grove with him to plan OLNF MC's wedding to Qiu. While they're there, Baxter introduces them to the old gang, he takes them to the wedding, and in the middle of all of it OLBA MC meets Tamarack, who is the maid of honor naturally. They think she is so cute, which is so right of them, she is so sweet and fun and lovely. They make friends and keep in touch. But wait!

As MC gets to know Tam better, they're like "Wait a second ... I have A Thought." Because she is all things good and right with the world (I love Tamarack so much), and who deserves someone that great? Derek! Who is single! So there's some matchmaking going on, which takes a little bit because of the distance, but eventually it clicks and Tamarack moves to California and marries Derek and they have lots of babies and live happily ever after!

FAQ Update: Feb 16th, 2022

We’ve gone ahead and added more things to the Frequently Asked Questions page! It’s all about OL2 and how, unfortunately, it’s very early in development and we can’t answer most questions about it, aha. I’m really sorry if you sent in an ask wondering about future things that had to go unanswered.

Q: Will Our Life: Now & Forever have extra story DLCs for side characters like Derek and Baxter from OL1?

That’s currently not part of what we’re creating for the project. Maybe when the game is finished, adding on extra side stories will be possible. But there’s also a chance there won’t be time or funding for that. OL2 is even bigger and more complicated than the first OL, so all we can do for sure is promise to complete the main story with Tamarack and Qiu.

Q: Will Our Life: Now & Forever come out Step-by-Step over time or all at once in a single launch?

It’s too early in development to say. We’ll only make a definite announcement once the Derek and Baxter DLCs for OL1 are finished and we’re able to work on OL2 as the sole major project for the company.

Q: Will there be X type of story or character scenes in Our Life: Now & Forever/What will happen or change if I make X type of choices/etc.?

I’m sorry to say that almost any ask about what Our Life: Now & Forever will specifically consist of won’t be answered. Either because the answer is “the game is still in development and things could change” or because it is already decided but giving the info would be a spoiler. We have to let people find out what happens in the game by playing the game when it's done. I really appreciate all the interest in it, though.

[covesdadappreciation]

Characters I write for!

The Romanceable OL Characters <3 (reminder, I only write for male identifying readers)

Qiu "Autumn" Lin

Derek Suarez

Cove Holden

Tamarack Baumann

Baxter Ward

and for my own sake

Cliff Holden

I will probably write for other OL characters in the future maybe, but we'll see. Right now I'm planning on posting my OC info on my page.

[differenteagletragedy]

Derek and Tamarack, eh? Very interesting. Can you write a little about that? Like how you see them meeting and stuff.

I just posted another ask about this, but yes, I like them together!

OLBA MC, who ends up with Baxter, befriends Tamarack during a trip to Golden Grove where Baxter plans OLNF MC's wedding to Qiu. They keep in touch, and OLBA MC is just so taken with how sweet and cute Tamarack is, and it makes them think of Derek, who is still single.

It takes a bit of convincing (read: begging) on MC's part, but finally they get Tamarack on a video call while hanging out with Derek. They introduce them, and they are both smitten immediately because how could anyone not be? They are both shy and quiet about their feelings at first, but Tamarack asks MC for Derek's number and they start texting, then calling, and so on and so forth until Derek decides to make a Big Gesture and flies out to Oregon to actually meet her.

Love at first (actual) sight. Fireworks, butterflies, everything. Maybe he moves up there for a while to be with her, but they eventually settle back in California because she knows how important his family is to him. He buys her a house in the suburbs because he knows she wouldn't like living in the city. He entertains every single whim she has, no matter how silly it may seem, because he loves her so much. She takes care of him in every little way she can think of.

Do you think you could tell us about Derek and Tamarack as parents?

-- The Suarez-Baumann house is the house that love built. It's loud, there's always a lot going on, but everyone is deliriously happy so it's just super cozy and fun and wonderful.

-- Three kids minimum, but four isn't a stretch at all. No one is going to be surprised to see Tamarack show up pregnant a fifth time, but after that they'd finally be like "ok this is probably enough kids."

-- Just try to make fun of Derek driving a mini van, you can't. He's so happy. He cannot believe that he gets to have this life. He's also got a cooler full of water bottles and a tidy bag of healthy snacks in the back at all times, so let him know if you need anything.

-- Derek and Tamarack are nauseatingly in love and will be forever. It's SO gross (in the cutest way, obviously), but that's all their kids have ever known so it's not really a huge deal to them. Like they'll have a friend over and take a break from hanging out in their room to get some snacks and Derek and Tam will be slow dancing in the kitchen, just giggling with hearts in their eyes, and the kid is like "do you want something to drink too?"

-- Derek would NEVER say anything to his parents about any issues from his childhood and he might not even ever think it, but he would consciously avoid having the older kids take care of the younger ones.

-- Likewise, Tam isn't going to want to leave her kids with anyone else, at least not at first. We don't know her super well yet, but it would make sense that Derek would have to talk to her a little bit, telling her it's ok to have other people help out and of course the kids' home is always going to be with them.

-- Derek has people in his life that have his back, but no one has ever had it like Tam does. That is her soulmate right there, and if anyone has a problem with him then they're going to have to talk to her.

-- This includes the kids. Even if one of them goes through the angstiest teen phase you ever saw in your life, none of them are going to even consider telling one of their parents that they hate them. If they tell Derek they hate him, then Tam is going to make them regret it. She's not typically one for Mom Guilt, but she would bring some in here. If they tell Tam they hate her, then they know Derek is going to going to have the most earnest, heartbreaking reaction and they just can't handle it.

-- Holidays are BIG DEALS. Derek and Tam both go all in on all of them. Fireworks on the Fourth of July like you could not imagine. Depending on the neighborhood, someone might have something to say about how bright their Christmas lights are. It's hands down the coolest house for trick or treating in the neighborhood.

-- Really their home is just a very fun place to be. Derek and Tamarack love each other to the ends of the world, and they've put so much work into their beautiful wonderful family.

-- There is a chance that in the time it took to write this that Tamarack Suarez-Baumann has fallen pregnant once again.
