Last Shift

Premise: It’s Cassie’s last day as a resident, and she has plans to commemorate the occasion with Ethan.

Book: Open Heart Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Cassie Valentine) Rating/Category: Teen. Fluff. Words: 1,705

A/N: Submission for @choicesprompts Rewrite Challenge. This fic is inspired by The Rookie TV show, season 3, episode 9 when Lucy runs through a relationship checklist with Tim on her last day as a rookie. I'm also using @choicesflashfics week 43, prompt 1.

The day was finally here. Three soul-crushing years of being at the beck and call of attendings. Three rewarding years of tackling the most challenging cases in medicine. Three awe-inspiring years of working with her medical hero, Dr. Ethan Ramsey.

Three years of laughter, tears, disappointments and hope. Three years of living in Boston and making it her home. Three crazy years full of shenanigans with her friends, she thought, eyeing everyone around her as they exited the T station and walked toward the hospital.

Cassie Valentine still couldn’t believe it was her last shift as a resident. Starting tomorrow (or in a few weeks since she was taking some much-deserved time off), she would be an attending physician in Edenbrook’s internal medicine department.

After much haggling, her offer letter and contract were sealed, signed and delivered. Ethan had been amused by the back and forth, but no Valentine accepted the first offer presented. Max would’ve never let her hear the end of it, and her grandfather would’ve tried to disown her again.

Still in disbelief, she reached out and pinched her friend and roomie, Jackie Varma.

“Ouch! What the fuck, Valentine?!?”

“Sorry, but I can’t believe it’s our last day as residents!” Cassie said in a sing-song voice.

“So you pinched me instead of yourself?”

“Well, yeah. If I pinched myself, how would I know it was real?”

Jackie rolled her eyes and changed places with Sienna as they neared Edenbrook’s gleaming façade. Aurora threw both of them an amused look but kept walking.

“Is Dr. Ramsey doing anything special to memorialize your last shift?” Elijah asked.

“Yes, he is. He just doesn’t know it yet,” Cassie quipped, sharing a conspiratorial wink with Sienna.

Only her besties were aware of the list she’d prepared with steps one should take to ensure a healthy parting in a relationship. She’d found it in one of her Psychology textbooks and decided it was the perfect way to mark the end of this stage in her career.

Once inside the hospital, they split off to their respective floors after making plans to meet for lunch. Their last one together as residents, Cassie thought, getting teary-eyed at the thought.

Technically speaking, most of them were staying here. Jackie was Chief Resident for a second year, Sienna would start as a senior Pediatrics resident, and Elijah staying on as a researcher.

Bryce still had one more year in his surgical residency and would likely remain at Edenbrook for a fellowship. Only Aurora was leaving to work across town at Mass Kenmore.

“Are you getting emotional again, Rookie?” Ethan teased when she walked through the Diagnostic Team’s glass doors, wiping a tear from the corner of her eye.

Last night at the graduation ceremony and dinner, he took great pleasure in needling her about getting sentimental. Her parents and Max had flown in for the occasion. Their effusive pride in her accomplishment was dampened by Ethan’s uber-rationality.

“When I was your age, I couldn’t wait for my residency to finish,” Ethan said, leaning back in his chair.

“I’m excited. Believe me,” Cassie said. “But I also know the importance of acknowledging your loss when going through something like this.”

“Acknowledging your loss?” Ethan looked wary. “Is this from one of your online pop psychology quizzes?”

“Funny you should say that,” she said eagerly, pulling up a list on her phone. “One should follow a series of steps to ensure a relationship ends amicably. We are going to work through every single one of them. Today.”

“Are you breaking up with me? Was I just a residency fling?” Ethan said morosely, gazing at his fingernails.

“What? No, of course not,” Cassie tripped over her tongue, shocked.

“I hope you know by now how much you mean to me,” he said, his expression crestfallen.

“I do, completely.” Cassie felt her heart hitch at the thought of their personal relationship ending. “Ethan…”

Anguished, she started to reach for him, stopping mid-step when he looked her straight in the eye and smirked nastily.

“Gotcha!”

“You’re such an ass,” she shrieked.

“You know nothing’s changing tomorrow except your title, right?” he said reasonably, coming out from behind the desk to stand before her, arms crossed.

“Not true,” Cassie said, disgruntled at how obtuse Ethan could sometimes be.

“Well, yes,” Ethan nodded. “You might get one of the closet-sized offices reserved for new attendings instead of squatting in mine.”

“So, you won’t miss working with me at all?” Cassie said skeptically, waving away the second part of his statement.

“No.”

“Mm. Denial. Check,” Cassie hummed, ticking the item on her phone.

“Besides,” Ethan continued, ignoring her comment, “your new inflated contract, one you spent weeks negotiating, guarantees you a permanent spot on the Diagnostics Team. You’ll likely spend most of your day here.” He paused for dramatic effect. “With me. Like you’ve done for the last two years!”

“Okay, we’ve moved on to anger. This is progress.”

Ethan threw his hands up in frustration and turned away to grab files off his desk.

“Put your list away,” he ordered. “Baz and Tobias should be here shortly. We have a new case. The patient is being transferred from Portland Memorial.”

“Might as well,” Cassie grumbled, taking her seat at the conference table. “The next step is to surround yourself with people who support, value and energize you.”

“I’m offended,” Ethan shot back. “I support, value and energize you plenty. Or did you forget where my mouth was last Saturday night?”

Before Cassie could retort, the door slid open, and the team filed in. She threw Ethan a vexed look that promised retribution and switched her attention to the case.

It was late afternoon by the time she had a moment free. Desperate for coffee, she texted Ethan to check if he wanted to join her at Derry’s. He texted back a thumb’s up emoji, and five minutes later, they met in the atrium to head out together.

“What’s next on your list?” he asked curiously, folding her hand in his as they strolled down the street and cut through the square with its manicured pathways.

Cassie reached for her phone and pulled up the notes app with one hand. “Reflect on the lessons learned — good and the bad — and express gratitude.

“Okay. So what have I taught you?”

“Not to second-guess myself,” Cassie acknowledged. “I was so scared of you my first day as an intern. When Annie coded, you berated me, telling me I should think seriously about becoming a doctor. That sent me into a tailspin, and it took me months to feel like I could do this. Thank you for not giving up on me.”

With a grin, she tapped the phone and turned the screen so Ethan could see the checklist. “Four down, one more to go!”

He rolled his eyes but didn’t say anything.

They arrived at Derry’s, and Ethan stepped aside to hold open the door for her. For the next half-hour, they put the list and work aside and simply enjoyed their coffee date and each other’s company.

Finally, it was the end of her shift. True to form, she’d spent every minute of her last day as a resident doing precisely what she loved. And with the best people imaginable.

“Good job, everyone,” Ethan said to the team gathered in the office. “I’ll send a copy of the treatment plan to the referring attending at Portland Memorial. Clock out and have a good night.”

Cassie exchanged pleasantries with Baz as Tobias saluted goodbye.

“I’m buying you a round at Donahue’s,” Baz said, smiling. “See you there?”

“Absolutely. I have to empty my locker, but should be there in thirty.”

With a wave to Ethan, he joined Tobias in the hallway. Heads together in discussion, the two of them disappeared from view.

“We did it!” Cassie clapped her hands, rubbing them in glee.

“No, you did it,” Ethan commented, handing her an envelope.

“What’s this?”

“My evaluation of your entire residency,” he said, leaning against the front of his desk. “As you know, I’m not allowed to formally evaluate you, given our personal relationship. But, nothing stops me from doing it informally.”

Cassie stared at the envelope but didn’t open it. She hadn’t admitted to herself until now how much she needed this. She had come to Edenbrook to learn from this man, and despite everything, she needed Doctor Ramsey’s approval. Not just Ethan’s.

“Everything okay?” he asked, concerned.

She nodded. With a deep breath, she tore open the envelope and unfolded the piece of paper inside to read the words aloud.

“Dr. Cassie Valentine, MD, is the best diagnostician I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. The Diagnostics Team and its mission couldn’t be in better hands.”

“Thank you,” Cassie said, tearing up again, much to Ethan’s chagrin.

“I couldn’t be the doctor I am today if you hadn’t mentored or challenged me to excel.” She squeezed his hand to let him know how much she appreciated him. “I’ve learned to trust my medical instincts, even if it’s not how you would do it. And I found my own path to being a doctor, just like you said I would the night we lost Dolores.”

“You’re welcome,” he straightened from the desk and framed her face between his hands. “Don’t let anyone tell you that you can't do something. Not even me.”

“Acceptance. Our checklist is complete,” she said with a watery smile before adding. “I have something for you too.”

Cassie reached inside the pocket of her white coat and handed Ethan a small envelope. He stared at it quizzically, turning it over, trying to guess what was inside.

“Open it!” she said, steepling her fingers under her chin, practically vibrating from excitement.

“What the fu—"

She laughed uproariously as Ethan stared in confusion inside the envelope. He quirked one eyebrow and held out the four one-dollar bills she’d stuffed in there.

“One dollar for each year of private lessons and a dollar tip.”

With a wink and a pat on his cheek, Cassie left the Diagnostics Team office for the last time as a resident and junior fellow with a jaunty spring in her step.

Since you said you like picking out songs for each Monty Python member, I'd be curious which song you most associate with each one of the group. It could be songs from multiple musicians. However — if you don't mind — please choose them based on the sound rather than the lyrics :)

Graham- The Man Who Sold The World by David Bowie, Let It Be by The Beatles, The Logical Song by Supertramp

John- Money Money Money by ABBA, My Life by Billy Joel, I Started A Joke by Bee Gees

Carol- Miss You by The Rolling Stones, Lovely Rita by The Beatles, PYT by Michael Jackson

Terry- London Calling by The Clash, Never Mind The Bollocks by Sex Pistols, On The Run by Pink Floyd

Michael- Wouldn't It Be Nice by The Beach Boys, Take A Chance On Me by ABBA, Signed Sealed Delivered by Stevie Wonder

THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN-

[howardhawkshollywoodmusic]

40. Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours by Stevie Wonder debuted Jun 70 and peaked at number three, scoring 1173 points.

The song spent six weeks at number one on the rhythm and blues singles chart. It was the first single Stevie produced on his own.

Peter Frampton's 1977 remake Signed Sealed Delivered (I'm Yours) peaked at number 18.

11-13 for the fanfic ask game please!!

Knight, nooooo, ha ha!! Can't believe you did me like this, smh...

11. OC Moodboard of choice (either you or author picks the OC; author makes)

This is absolutely what took me the longest (and somehow no time at all?), but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out!! (I absolutely did not do the anatomy drawing and if anyone knows who did pls let me know!!)

Anyway, this is for my Star Wars OC, Kirsi (half-Torgrutan, half-Clone), during the Rebellion era. I have been more or less been working on a Rebels not-exactly-rewrite with her and her sister worked into a few episodes and then going off and doing their own thing. :D

12. Write another line in your WIP.

Okay, because I've been terrible about writing during my break, I wrote another paragraph, and here's the last line:

The haunting sound of Morgana’s aborted yell accompanies him into the darkness.

Again, so sorry to anyone waiting for the next story.

13. Drop a playlist for the story!

I have approximately a billion playlists for anything, but since I've been listening to this one on repeat, I will give a sampling of the playlist below the ~keep reading~ at the end.

Well, I think that just about covers it!! Thanks again, Knight!!

Kindly,

The Void

Here's a portion of my playlist for my fanfic (working title: [Insert Clever Song Reference])!

Yeah, it's a Baby Driver x Fast and Furious fic bc there were only, like, two. Criminally underrepresented. Some are songs that I might feature in the fic, some I think are good for certain relationships (even though it might not be where they are in the fic itself), and some are just jams that get me writing the fic, ha ha!

[folaireamh]

[angelhummel]

still haven't rewatched the second mike's mic glee video to type up my fave quotes but i'm rewatching amandabb's second glee video rn so here are my fave quotes from that xx

nobody wants to hear songs from your childhood, will schuester. i know he probably had a sad childhood which is why all his friends are children

it's ohio, everyone's bored

this is the same as pitch perfect. the barden bellas?? they used to only do old shit and they kept losing. mhmm, cinematic parallels

will schuester is either completely unaware of how much talent is in the glee club, which would mean he's stupid, or he didnt know how to work with all the talent in the glee club, which means he's stupid. either way, he's dumb

finn can sing. i dont think he can Sing, he can't keep up with rachel by any means, but he can sing

rachel and finn dont need to be lead every single time. but i get why they were bc the only other person that finn had chemistry with was quinn and i would never want to see that

something passionate but not too passionate bc we dont want a repeat of s2 nationals bc that was a disgrace

because this is a pop song, i dont want rachel anywhere near it

i think signed sealed delivered should've seen a stage

mr schue wasted santana's god given talents

artie held his own whenever there were dance breaks. he was outdancing some of the people standing up

rachel can never understand its about the group. this is the glee CLUB, not rachel and guest

you got the best singer from the warblers. their lead. he was the center of everything. and you put him in the back sashaying. what's going on??

[still about blaine] you need to put your best foot forward. and your best foot is in the back swaying next to sam

[joe] could've carried songs by himself. it was just, i guess his look wasnt right? cause he did look kinda - he looked weird. i thought he was hot. i dunno, i look back and im like really? white man with dreads, really?

it is a damn shame that will threw every ounce of his creativity into the thriller/heads will roll performance for a high school football game

but when it came to nationals had them in some justice knock off costumes bedazzled by emma. pillsbury.

so [will] "learns", but then the learning left his moussed brain immediately after

jake puckerman shouldve been the very clear lead the moment he set foot into the music room

[echthr0s]

Music ask, 4, 24!

three songs that you know thanks to your parents three favourite old songs

These are... kinda the same question, honestly, because I had a Silent Generation parent. (Yeah, I discovered classic rock independently later on, but frankly I think classic rock is... let's say overrepresented.)

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, the Platters (I also refrained from mentioning a single Platters song until now, which is a lesser-known problem of mine but lately they've just been. Fucking Everywhere synchronicity-wise and it's become a Problem)

When I Fall in Love, Nat King Cole (why this man's voice gotta be like that 😭 dangerous.)

Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours), Stevie Wonder (comparatively newer song but. a Bop)
