Summary: The relationship between Harper and Tobias.

Authors note: continuation of An unlikely occurrence.

😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Harper and Tobias met with HR and disclosed their relationship. Given that neither were in a position to be supervising each other, it was not essential that they did but they felt it prudent to have it on the record. The next step was disclosing to Aurora, Ethan and Casey. Both felt work was not the place to do so so they decided to host a dinner party. They set it for Friday. They chose Harper’s apartment to have the party.

The day came and Tobias for some reason was nervous. He had his fair share of arrangements with those he had worked with and sure, he and Harper were no longer working together, however, given how closely he worked with Aurora and also Casey, he did want this to go well. For some reason he was least concerned about how Ethan would react. Harper was nervous also. She never really did relationships either but announcing a relationship, especially this early in the game felt odd to her but again, given her working and personal relationships, she not only felt it prudent but also hoped that all involved were going to be ok with it.

Aurora was the first to arrive. Being invited to Harper’s was not uncommon but she was surprised to see Tobias there and in the kitchen. Aurora had suspicions piqued a little recently, Tobias and Harper’s more relaxed and good moods being the catalyst. Seeing Tobias in her aunt’s kitchen did indeed fuel her suspicions further.

Shortly after, Casey and Ethan arrive. Tobias lets out a small chuckle when he sees Ethan looking slightly disheveled and Casey with a slightly smug grin on her face. Everyone has a drink and light hearted conversation before dinner is served. Dinner was served and everyone enjoyed the meal.

“Before we serve dessert, myself and Tobias have some news.” Said Harper. Tobias continued. “Myself and Harper have entered into a romantic relationship, we met with HR the other day to disclose, we both felt this prudent even though we are no longer in the same supervisory stream.”

“Well, that would explain some of the good moods we have observed most recently, wouldn’t agree Casey?” Said Aurora.

“It most certainly would, we are happy for you both.” Said Casey as she got up to hug both.

Ethan for a few moments was pleasantly surprised but ultimately happy for both of his friends. The evening continued and the group split up. Casey spoke with Aurora whilst Ethan spoke with Harper and Tobias.

“I am glad you are happy for us buddy” said Tobias.

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Asked Ethan.

“I know you and Harper were a long time ago but still, I was nervous.” Said Tobias.

“It was so long ago that I am surprised you were concerned about my reaction. I am surprised, yes but really happy for you both.”

Tobias breathed a sigh of relief. The dinner party ended and everyone except Tobias left Harper’s.

They kiss briefly. “Well that went well” said Harper. “Yes it did, I am glad.” Said Tobias and he kissed her briefly again. They cleaned up the kitchen and retired to the bedroom.

Nothing changed much for anyone once they returned to work. Tobias assured Aurora that his romantic relationship with Harper would have no impact on their working relationship. Aurora was appreciative for the reassurance.

Time went on, Tobias and Harper continued their relationship. They celebrated the engagement of Ethan and Casey. Harper met Tobias’s mum, Beth. She was quite taken by Harper. Their romantic relationship enhanced their prior friendship and even had an offshoot of garnering more professional respect for each other. The longer they were in a relationship, the more happy they were not only as a couple but also individually.

They celebrated holidays together, they hosted thanksgiving whilst Ethan and Casey hosted Christmas. As much as they enjoyed being a couple, they still led very separate lives. Even though they said I love you and truly meant it, they both did start to wonder if it was indeed enough.

They met at his town house for dinner. They sat down for their meal. They ate in companionable silence, both knowing that a rather serious discussion had to start.

“Where are headed ,Harper?” Tobias asked. “I am sure we are both surprised that we have lasted but we can not be in this holding pattern forever.”

“I agree Tobias, on both points.”

“I do love you and have always had the utmost respect for you…”

“Same here Tobias but where too… I mean, I have always been focussed on my career, gosh the only other serious relationship I have had was with Ethan, and well that did end.”

“You were on a different page feeling wise, but we are both rapidly approaching the mid 40’s. What is marriage for? Not like we are in a position for children? Companionship, surely we do not need a license for that.” Said Tobias. “Relationships do not come the most naturally for me either, I do find arrangements given where I am career wise easier to manage but we hit the end haven’t we?”

“I must concede, the holding pattern we are in does feel more like an arrangement.”

“I agree, I know we both have had our fair share of them, but we are an us, not an arrangement between two consenting adults.”

“You are right, it was never that and I feel bad it has turned this way” said Harper in a maudlin tone.

“In a way though, I do feel that it is better that we have recognised that now, and addressed it than letting it die a slow death in which resentment could have built.” Said Tobias.

“This is true” said Harper as she poured a wine for both of them. “A toast, to an amicable split and a continuation of friendship.”

“To friendship” echoed Tobias and they drank their wine. After the wine they parted ways, sad that the relationship had ended but happy that they were to remain friends.

Next day came and Tobias arrived at work early. He was sitting in the office researching when Ethan walked in.

“Is everything alright Tobias?” Asked Ethan with a hint of concern.

Tobias took a deep breath.

“I am alive.” Said Tobias

“I can see that but you look like you had a rough night” said Ethan.

“That obvious is it?” Chuckled Tobias. “Myself and Harper ended our romantic relationship last night.”

Ethan was shocked. “You two appeared to be in such a good place..”

“Yeah we were but we were also at an impasse and despite that we love each other, it was not meant to be.”

“So…where to from here?” Asked Ethan.

“We are still friends, which we are both happy that won’t change.”

Just then Aurora walks in.

“I heard about you and my aunt, I am glad you are both still friends.”

“So am I, Aurora, so am I” said Tobias.

Ethan took his leave and headed to his office. He was saddened at the demise of their relationship but he was also happy that they were able to end things amicably.

Later that day, Tobias’s and Harper’s paths crossed. Both in a way we’re expecting it to be awkward but it was not. They mainly spoke about their patient, but they also exchanged pleasantries and it felt good. They finished their discussion and went their separate ways, happy that their dalliance had not affected not only their working relationship but also their friendship.

——-

Authors note: I headcanon that they were in the relationship for a little over a year. I do see them having a great friendship, maybe the occasional benefit. I have always head cannoned that my Tobias is happily single. What happened to his parents did colour his outlook on marriage but he grew up also seeing his mum happy being single and not remarrying, yes she did date and she did have a long term partner when he was in his 20’s so he got to a point where he did not see the advantages, I mean if he found someone who challenged his view then things would be different.

every time i see someone paint aurora or harper as the villain in their hc i lose a little bit of hope and my will to be a decent person

[the-pale-goddess]

In your HC, Harper and Ethan’s relationship was a real (casual) relationship that happened to have On and Off moments, or was it more like an agreement of “this is convenient for both of us, but we know we’re not in love”?

First of all, thank you for sending this question, dear Anon! Please, forgive me for taking months to post a reply ❤️

I believe that in the beginning Ethan and Harper pursued a relationship in a deliberate attempt at molding something genuine and solid, so yes, it was very much real and hopeful back then. Harper was the first person Ethan let himself fall for after Beatrice (aka the infamous med school lover). She was exactly his type: uncommonly brilliant, frighteningly ambitious, fiercely self-sufficient, and she didn’t expect him to wear his heart on his sleeve. What’s more, the fact that Doctor Emery was extremely focused on work offered him a sense of comfort—she seemed to be just like him. 

But reality hit our Grumpsey with a sobering fact check. See, I have always pictured them as a couple perfect in theory, but a disaster in practice—though they cared about one another, neither of them actually felt anything strong enough to even make them think of love. Sure, they used to be passionate about each other back then, but they quickly realized how different they really are and that neither is willing to open up or bend their rules to make the relationship work—hence the on & off nature, based on great sex and convenience rather than some deeper feelings. Ethan was always a closed book, and Harper had no time or patience for his issues, both were too devoted to their careers to take each other seriously. When their attempts proved futile, they found themselves tangled in a mutually beneficial agreement that had nothing to do with romance (more about this situationship here).

I feel like I’m the only one who isn’t a big fan of Harper?

I can appreciate her work and how she’s undoubtedly an amazing surgeon, but I don’t think the diagnostics team was the right move for her. As well as that, I don’t agree with how she treated Aurora (although I know it was because she just wanted her to succeed) and I really hate how she treated MC in bk 3.

I was always under the impression that she was jealous of seeing Ethan and MC so in love and resented MC for being the one Ethan truly fell for. Constantly going down memory lane felt like a way of snubbing MC.

The cherry on top for me was the whole drug trial incident and admitting that she wouldn’t have snitched on Ethan, but did on MC. Like? Girl, you’re smarter than that.

Maybe I’m overprotective and over analyse but does anyone feel the same way? 😅

What's the relationship like between Harper and Sawyer in your OH world?

Hi there! Sorry it took a little while to answer this one.

I think I'm one of the few here that don't like Harper. A lot of my opinion stems from the conflict and hypocrisy in Book 1. I also interpreted some of her actions as those of someone who still wanted to be with Ethan, and who might have been a little jealous that his focus had shifted to someone new. But what really drove it home for me was Book 3. And not the jealousy stuff, that was lame. But when Harper came for MC and assumed she was the one who compromised Elijah's study. Sorry, but that was a real bitch move.

But to answer your question...Sawyer respects Harper as a skilled surgeon, and admires her professional accomplishments, but they aren't friends.

They really got off on the wrong foot during intern year. And there are still some residual feelings of dislike during the reset era. Things improve over time. They're cordial and professional. But Sawyer never fully trusts Harper.

She also doesn't love the fact that Harper is Ethan's ex. It's just awkward sometimes. It was easier after Sawyer and Ethan went public. The kiss at the gala pretty much wiped away any remaining insecurities Sawyer sometimes felt.

I haven't decided how much of Book 3 canon I want to incorporate into my HC yet, so stay tuned.

An unlikely occurrence

Book: Open Heart (post series)

Characters: Tobias Carrick, Harper Emery

Warnings: sexual references

Catergory: fluff

Rating: PG

Word Count: 1939

Summary: Tobias reaches out to Harper after she leaves the team and it leads to what both thought would be an unlikely romance.

Disclaimer: Characters belong to Pixelberry

Authors note: A request from @jerzwriter (no surprises really) who wanted to see Tobias in a romantic relationship.

🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝

Things at Edenbrook after the downfall of Leland and Caroline taking over had started to settle. Harper had left the team and Tobias along with Casey had finished the recruitment process but Tobias was still uneasy with the circumstances that Harper had chosen to leave. He knew he was harsh initially when he accused her of being jealous when Casey was accused of putting their patient into the non placebo group in a study. He knew Harper left willingly, wanting to give Casey and Tobias the best chance of running the team without any previous conflicts potentially derailing them but he still had the utmost respect for her professionally but he also respected her personally and he did not want either relationship to sully.

He proposed a dinner, Mistral. Sure this is where one normally took people on a date and this was certainly not a date but he knew Harper was a woman of exquisite taste.

Harper was intrigued. She had known Tobias, more professionally for a long time. She knew of the history between him and Ethan and she was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked together on the team whilst she was on it. She did not think events had sullied either their personal or professional relationship but she still went.

The day of the dinner arrived. They arrived at the restaurant separately. They had a very pleasant evening. Tobias apologized for calling her out so harshly. She understood where he was coming from and as the mediation process went on she was quite surprised that the underlying motive was jealousy.

“Don’t get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for Casey so it was a shock to me that jealousy was my motive.” Said Harper.

“It was a surprise to me too, Harper, I never thought you to be the jealous type.” Said Tobias.

Harper winced slightly. “To be honest, in her intern year I was a bit. I had seen some questionable interactions that had given credence to the rumours I heard and I did find it hypocritical, because he ended our arrangement because I was about to be his boss and here he was possibly with a subordinate.”said Harper, “I also did have lingering feelings for him also.”

“It makes sense, you are both very driven people and you were on and off again for so long…”

Harper interjected. “We broke up initially because I was falling in love with him and he was not on the same page. We ended it but became good friends then a few years later at a conference we were intimate and an arrangement was born.”

“Well I am glad he has found happiness.” Said Tobias.

“So am I, Tobias, truly, they are very well suited.”

“I have never seen him so beside himself like he was on the day of the bio attack, I know I still feel bad for courting him and telling June that I was but it was the beginning of what I hoped would lead to a reconciliation between us.”

They enjoyed their meal and walked out together.

“I had a lovely time Tobias” said Harper.

“Me too Harper, feels good to clear the air.”

“It does” agreed Harper. They kissed each other on the cheek and parted ways.

Tobias arrived at work the next day. He was in a jovial mood that was not missed by Casey.

“You’re in a good mood.”

“Yes I am, I had a lovely dinner with Harper last night.”

Casey raised an eyebrow. “As in a date?”

Tobias laughed, a little bit too boisterously.

“No, just as friends, I wanted to clear the air after everything with the mediation etc.”

“Right and surely a quick coffee in either office would have had the same outcome?”

“Well yes, but I have known and respected Harper for a long time, she deserved more than a coffee in her office.”

“Ahh-huh” said Casey. “Whatever you say Tobias” she said. They continued on with their work.

A few days later Harper was requested for a consult on one of the team’s patients. The consult went well and the outcome for the patient was going to be good. Harper hung back slightly.

“I really enjoyed the other night, Tobias. I would very much like to have dinner with you again”

“I had a great time too, and yes, I would be more than willing to have dinner with you again.”

“Excellent, I’ll make the booking and let you know.”

“Looking forward to it already.” Said Tobias.

Dinner was booked for a few days later, this time at Blu restaurant. Tobias was excited as he had not been here yet. The views were impressive and so was the company. Harper looked like a vision in a green dress. They enjoyed their meal and the conversation and the wine. Harper had found Tobias attractive but always found him a bit brash for her tastes but she had to admit there were many layers to Tobias Carrick that she found intriguing. Tobias enjoyed getting to know Harper more personally too. Their night came to an end but neither wanted the night to end just yet. Harper invited Tobias over for a nightcap which he agreed too.

Harper lived in an apartment building nearby. Tobias was pleasantly surprised to be offered a scotch.

“Ethan introduced me even before we were together” she said, “I still prefer red wine but I do prefer a dark spirit to end the night.”

Tobias smiled. “I introduced Ethan to bourbon back in Hopkins and we discovered various scotches together.”

Harper smiled. “It is hard imagining you as friends, you are in some ways rather similar but also in some ways very different.”

“What is the saying? Opposites attract?” Said Tobias, “I consider Ethan to be the brother I never had, our fallout hurt both of us, if I had my time again my actions that night would have been different but I am glad we are friends again now.”

“I am glad too” said Harper. “He has been the happiest I have seen him.”

“Yeah well being with someone whom you love and loves you and some closure on his past…”

Harper nodded in agreement and marveled at the man in her living room. They finished their drink and Tobias decided to take his leave. They hugged and went to kiss each other on the cheek but instead they kissed each other on the lips. It was quick but they lingered, Tobias tentatively kissed her again, Harper returned the kiss and deepened it. The kiss was remarkable. They pulled apart to breathe and Harper asked. “Did you want to continue” to which Tobias replied “yes”

The kisses got deeper and heated. Hands start roaming as they make their way to Harper’s bedroom. Sure Tobias had thought about having sex with Harper a very long time ago but had resigned himself to it not happening but that did not mean he was not happy to be here. They spent time exploring each other in their respective naked forms until Harper straddled Tobias and took charge of the evening. It had been awhile for both of them so Harper did have to spend a few minutes to adjust to his size but once she had it was on. Harper felt incredible to Tobias and to be honest he was enjoying her taking charge the way she was. The session was equal parts tender and intense. The sight of Harper succumbing to her climax triggered Tobias’s and he came hard. Both were physically sated and they fell into a deep restful sleep.

Tobias awoke with a start. As much as he enjoyed last night,he was concerned. How closely he worked with Aurora being one, he knew Ethan and Harper were ancient history, but he had concerns about that too. Harper awoke and saw Tobias deep in concerned thought.

“Are you regretting last night?” Asked Harper.

Tobias was shook from his thoughts.

“Regret last night?” He said, “No, most definitely not but if we decide that last night was not a once off… I directly supervise Aurora for starters, Ethan, yes I know that was a long time ago and he has Casey now but still…”

“Calm down Tobias, please.” Harper said as walked towards him. “Situations like this is why have HR, I know you would still treat Aurora fairly, nor let any issues between us affect your working relationship and if I am being honest I think Ethan would be happy for us.”

Tobias smiled. He knew that they needed to discuss what they were but that was a discussion for another time.

He went home and got ready for his day. Meanwhile Harper met with Aurora for breakfast. Aurora noted that her aunt seemed more relaxed than usual. Harper did not say why, feeling that it better her and Tobias figure out what they were before announcing. When arriving at work, Aurora also noted that Tobias appeared to be in a great mood also, this mood was also noted by Casey.

Aurora and Casey had lunch together.

“Can I be suspect in that my aunt and our boss were in very good moods today?”

“A few days ago, after Tobias had dinner with your aunt, he was very jovial, I have not seen Harper outside of work but I can not rule out that something happened.”

Aurora shook her head , “that was a mental image I did not need.”

“At least they are getting along, and they are both professionals so they surely can keep the personal out of work.”

“Well you and Ethan did that for how long?”

“Exactly.”

Meanwhile, in the surgical wing Tobias was having a chat with Harper. Well, it was meant to be a chat but instead they had an intense session in Harper’s office. It was quick but intense.

“What are we doing Harper, yes I know we are two consenting adults who are having some pretty unbelievable sex, but is this a with benefit situation or are we doing to have to meet with HR?”

Both had not being in a romantic relationship for a while so to be honest, Tobias was half expecting Harper to say to keep it as an arrangement but he was pleasantly surprised when Harper said she would like to pursue a relationship.

“Full disclosure, relationships have not been my thing for awhile but I am willing to give it a go.”

Harper chuckles, “It has been a long time since I have had a relationship too, Tobias.”

“I know there are some finer points to discuss but I need to head back to work.”

Tobias headed back to the DT office, with a spring in his step. He arrived back to the office and noticed Casey and Aurora working and eating.

“Ladies, I know we try to be efficient but do you always need to have a working lunch?”

“We are just reading up on the patient we have had and post surgical treatments” stated Aurora.

Casey looks up and sees that Tobias is looking very relaxed, much more than normal. She decides not to ask but is happy that Tobias is happy.

Later that night Tobias meets up with Harper again, to discuss their relationship, they made a meeting with HR and decided to host a dinner party with Aurora, Ethan and Casey to tell them their happy news. Both Harper and Tobias though were excited to embark on this relationship that even though they had not sought it, were glad that is was happening.

Day 2: The Resident Life

It's not easy being a doctor...

Share fics, fanart, head canons, comics and more set in your Open Heart universe: your character's life, work, their friends, fellow residents/co-workers, support system, mentors, mentees/interns, LIs and more.

Maybe it's a slice of life type moment, something happened at work, hanging out with friends, domestic fluff with their LI...and any story you want to tell. We want to see your characters in the Open Heart universe!

And remember...

We’re accepting previously published works and new creations. All types of fanworks are accepted (fics, headcanons, meet MC posts, moodboards, fanart, playlists, videos, etc., just to name a few).

For old posts, reblog and tag this blog, and mention if the content is for a specific day.

Event guidelines here.

These guidelines are meant to inspire creativity, but you don’t have to follow them exactly or in order. If an Open Heart related topic is not listed, send it anyway – we’ll make room for it.

Thank you to everyone in advance for participating!

Open Heart Appreciation Week runs from March 20-27, with late submissions accepted until March 31.
