godswap au in which Ethan, Alabaster, and Luke are the sons of the big three, but their mortal parents were able to persuade two minor goddesses and one Olympian to pretend they were their children.
PLEASE THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS.
Luke as a child of Hades with May asking Hermes to protect her son :((( May being so stubborn about wanting to be the Oracle that she doesn’t listen to Hades’ warnings about it and he has to deal being gone because of the prophecy :(((((((
Ethan as a child of Zeus sounds so funny to me. I imagine it took a lot of convincing from Ethan’s mortal parent to get Nemesis to claim him. I’d like to believe that Nemesis made him swear on the Styx that he could not tell Ethan who his parent actually was because in her eyes it would’ve been funnier if Zeus’s own son respected her more than Zeus.
Poseidon Alabaster but instead of his mortal dad asking Hecate it’s poseidon asking Hecate to claim his son like someone pitching a new show to a producer. (She only accepts because she has a soft spot for children and baby Al just looked too cute)
going into canon Luke is the only one who’s aware of who his father actually is meanwhile Ethan and Alabaster genuinely believe Nemesis and Hecate are their respective parents and they also both HATE Zeus and Poseidon. Shenanigans ensue while the big three are all freaking out over three of their children joining the TA.

fic idea!! ethan and y/n had a fight but she ended up on her knees sucking him to make it up to him.
they had to quickly go back to school because they all eat lunch with chad tara etc.
ethan has his hand on her thigh as they all talk and laugh, but y/n is still horny after that incredible bj.
he teases her, caresses her thigh, hand going up under her skirt, only slightly brushing against her panties. *with pleasing eyes she whispers* "Please ethan ill be quiet i promise"
he ends up fingering her under the table. bonus if she stops him before orgasming because she knows she'll be too loud and they end up fucking in an empty classroom next to the lunch tables
HI!
I absolutely loved this idea! I hope you like it!💕
Alone Together - Ethan Landry x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
This contains SMUT - Minors DNI
Summary: After a fight with Ethan, you make it up to him. It unfortunately leads to you being a horny mess until he finally takes care of you.
Contains: Angst-ish?, Oral - m receiving, fingering, semi-public sex acts, spanking, unprotected sex but like...pulling out lmao. (If I missed anything, let me know:)
A/N: Dude I'm so close to 500 followers, and I want to write something HUGE for it once I get there. 🥹
Tumblr media
You and Ethan rarely argued, but after something simple turned into the first major fight of the relationship, you felt so awful that it got to the point that it did. It all started after you told Ethan about the boy that sat beside you in class, and mentioned how he asked you for your number to talk about assignments. Ethan thought that was the stupidest excuse to get a girl’s number, but you were a little oblivious and didn’t think there were any other intentions, so you did end up giving the guy your number. Ethan got angrier the more you tried to downplay it, and he even started to question what your intentions were.
Once he’d had enough of the conversation, he stormed out. He needed to calm down, because he was so close to saying things that he didn’t mean. As hurt as he felt, he didn’t want to hurt you.
After Ethan didn’t talk to you for the rest of the day, he showed up to your dorm after his morning class. He was hoping the two of you could talk it out, because he did love you, regardless of how irritated he was.
“Hey,” you said, once you’d opened the door for him. You were trying to fight off your tears as soon as you saw him, so he pulled you into a hug.
“I’m sorry I left yesterday, but I was just so mad,” Ethan said, as his hands ran across your back. “I don’t want anyone else to think they can have you.”
“Do you want to break up?” you asked against his chest, as he chuckled.
“I love you too much to do that,” he sighed, “But I’m not going to lie, it hurt my feelings that you just gave your number out like that. I was starting to think that you wanted him to text you.”
“What?” you asked, pulling away to look at him. “You think I’d want to be with someone else?”
“I never did before yesterday,” he said, “Maybe I’m just a little insecure.”
“And a little possessive,” you mumbled, as he leaned down to kiss you.
You knew that Ethan loved you but seeing him get so mad and upset over someone trying to move in on what was his, it showed you how deep his feelings were for you. The simple kiss quickly turned into something more as his hands roamed your body and his tongue moved across your bottom lip. You gasped into his mouth once his hand moved underneath the skirt you were wearing, his hand massaging your ass as he started to back you towards your bed.
“Wait,” you said, as you pulled away. “We don’t have a lot of time for make-up sex.”
“Fuck, I forgot about lunch,” Ethan groaned, running his hand through his hair. “I’m going to be hard for the rest of the day thinking about you.”
“I think I know something that’ll help you,” you said, as you sank to your knees in front of him.
You rubbed your hand over his jeans, smiling once you felt how hard he was for you. You unbuttoned them and slid them down his hips as his eyes stayed on you.
“Are you sure we have time for this?” he asked, as you giggled to yourself.
“You know it doesn’t take me long to make you cum.”
He groaned at your words as you slid his boxers down, and you grabbed his cock as it stood at attention in front of your face. You looked up at him as you leaned in, taking his pink tip past your lips as you swirled your tongue over it.
“Fuck, baby,” he said, as his hand ran across your cheek to rest in your hair.
You were inching him in your mouth as you started to bob your head, taking more of him every time. He groaned at the feeling as your cheeks hollowed, his hand that was loosely resting in your hair gripping it tighter. Once you got to the point that you were gagging around him, your mouth getting even more wet, he started to praise you. “You make me feel so good.” “That’s it, baby. You can take it.” “Fuck, your mouth is so perfect.”
All the things he was saying to you had your core throbbing, because it turned you on so much to make him feel that good. You moved your hand up and down what you couldn’t take, as he whimpered at the feeling. Your hand moved with your mouth, his entire cock getting the attention it needed as he struggled to keep his fluttering eyes on yours. You didn’t look away, though. You loved seeing him like this. The way his breathing got heavier, the rosy tint to his cheeks, the way his head was starting to roll back.
“Fuck, gonna cum,” he panted, as you hummed around him.
His hand was tugging on your hair, the feeling making you moan around him as his eyes screwed shut, a low moan slipping past his lips as the salty liquid coated your taste buds. You bobbed your head a few more times, a lot slower than you had been going because you didn’t want him to get over stimulated, until you slid him out of your mouth, a sweet smile on your lips as he looked down at you.
“I’m definitely not mad at you anymore,” he said with a smile, as his breathing started to return to normal. “Come here, baby.”
He reached down for you to grab his hands as he helped you to your feet before he pulled you into his chest.
“Now I’m the one that gets to be a horny mess all day,” you said, as he ran his hands over your hips.
“Oh, I’ll take care of you later…you won’t be able to walk when I’m done with you.”
Whenever Ethan told you that, he meant it. The idea of him having you in all the positions and him eating it out until you couldn’t take it anymore had your head spinning. You almost wish he hadn’t told you that, because it was all you were going to be able to think about as you tried to make it through the rest of your day.
As you sat at lunch across from Tara and Chad, you were hoping that the conversation would distract you from the not-so-innocent thoughts you were having about your boyfriend.
“Did your boyfriend tell you about what happened to him yesterday?” Chad asked you, as you turned to look at Ethan.
“No…what happened?”
“So he’d just came back from showering, and I came back to our dorm earlier than I was supposed to. He didn’t realize I was there until I said something once he dropped his towel,” Chad said, cracking up as Ethan’s cheeks started to turn bright red. “He fucking screamed, dude. Like, high-pitched and everything.”
You and Tara started to giggle as you thought about it, and it was getting to the point that you couldn’t look at your boyfriend, because you knew you’d only laugh harder.
“Hey, I had a lot going on yesterday. I didn’t expect you to be there,” Ethan said, as Chad wiped a few tears off his cheeks from laughing so hard. He turned to look at you, shaking his head once he noticed how hard you were trying to keep it together. That’s when you felt his hand brush against your thigh before he squeezed it. A strained moan slipped past your lips at the feeling, as he tried to feign innocence. “You okay, babe?”
“Yeah, I accidentally kicked the table,” you lied, trying to play it off as you took a deep breath.
Once Chad and Tara stopped laughing, they brought up the weekend plans that the friend group had been looking forward to. You were trying so hard to be present for that conversation, but once Ethan’s hand inched up further until it was under your skirt, you looked over at him. He met your gaze, and smirked once he noticed your eyes pleading with his. He shook his head before he turned his attention back to Chad, but his hand didn’t stop.
You bit your bottom lip as you felt his hand run over your panties, your eyes going wide as you tried to calm down. Ethan just kept talking, like he had no idea how badly his fingers rubbing over your swollen clit was affecting you.
Once Chad and Tara started to talk about plans that they had for dinner that night, you leaned over to whisper into Ethan’s ear.
“I need more,” you said, as he lightly chuckled. “Please, baby. I’ll be quiet.”
“You promise?” he questioned, as he pushed your panties to the side.
“Yes.”
The way he had his arm angled, it looked like he was just being a sweet boyfriend with his hand resting on your leg. Chad and Tara had no idea that his ring and middle finger were buried inside of you, moving back and forth over that spongy spot inside of your pussy.
You were happy to be getting some of the attention you needed, but it was taking everything in you to keep your breathing steady. Ethan’s pace kept changing, almost like he wanted you to be loud. He’d slow his fingers down, but then he’d start pressing his fingers so hard against that spot that your hands were gripping the sides of the chair.
You felt yourself getting closer, and you knew you couldn’t be quiet, especially after you had to play off a whimper by doubling over like you’d just gotten a bad cramp. You grabbed Ethan’s wrist with both hands, as you tried to get him to stop, but he just kept going. He looked over at you, noticing how fast you were breathing, and how you looked like you could cry from the stimulation. That’s when he realized that he needed to stop, because there was no way you could make it though your orgasm without it being obvious to your friends across the table.
He pulled his fingers out, and once Tara and Chad talked to each other, he looked back over at you and brought the fingers that were covered into your wetness up to his lips. You needed to cum so bad, and once he did that, you were sure you were going to go feral if you didn’t get your orgasm.
“We need to go,” you whispered, as he looked back over to Chad and Tara.
“We’ll leave soon, babe,” he said, as you huffed in frustration.
“If you don’t take me somewhere and fuck me right now, I’m going to go crazy.”
“You need it that bad?” he questioned, looking back at your friends to make sure they were still in their own conversation.
“Please, Ethan.”
“Hey guys, I think we’re going to get out of here,” Ethan said, as Chad and Tara looked at the two of you.
“Is everything okay?” Tara asked, once she noticed that you weren’t really saying anything.
“Yeah, it’s just cramps. I’m going to walk with her back to her dorm really quick before class,” he said, as your friends nodded.
Once you and Ethan got up, he took his hand in yours as he led you away from the table.
“We don’t have time to go back to my dorm,” you said, as he started to laugh.
“That’s not where we’re going,” he said, as he led you down the hall to a room that was used for study groups.
“We’re going to fuck in here? There’s no lock on the door,” you huffed, running your hand through your hair as Ethan grabbed a chair and propped it up under the door knob.
“No one’s getting in here,” he said, as he walked over to you. “I’m going to fuck you right here on this table.”
“Are you sure we won’t get caught?” you asked, as he reached under your skirt and grabbed your panties and slid them down your hips.
“That depends on how loud you are.”
Ethan tuned you around and had you bent over the table, your elbows resting against the wood as you waited for him to fuck you. You heard the zipper to his jeans get slid down before you felt him move your skirt, so it was bunched up on your hips.
“This is going to have to be quick, baby. Is that okay?” he asked, as he pushed the tip of his cock in your dripping pussy.
“Mhm,” you moaned at the feeling, as he slid the rest of himself inside you. “Just..don’t get your cum on my clothes.”
“It’s going to go all over this perfect ass of yours.”
He wasted no time before his cock started to thrust in and out of you, soft moans slipping out of your mouth. He was so focused on you, but once he glanced up at the clock on the wall and noticed you had less time than he originally thought, he started to pound into you. The sudden pace change caught you off guard, and you had to time to process it before you started letting out loud moans. The tip of Ethan’s cock hit your g-spot with every thrust, and after his fingers a few minutes before, you knew it wasn’t going to take much for him to make you cum. His hands were gripping your hips as he pulled them back to meet his thrusts, your hands moving to grip the side of the table so you wouldn’t fall off it.
Seeing you like this, and it being in a slightly public setting ignited something in Ethan. He let go of one of your hips to give a sharp smack to your ass, the feeling making you whimper as he soothingly rubbed over it before he did it again.
“Oh my god,” you moaned, “I’m so close.”
His hand went back to your hip as he mercilessly fucked you, loud whines flooding out of your mouth as the grip you had on the table got even tighter.
Ethan’s heavy breathing turned to groans once your pussy started to squeeze his cock, and you were bringing him so close to his own orgasm, but he was trying so hard to hold out so he could fuck you through yours. The sounds you were making didn’t make it any easier for him, so he finally pulled out.
“Fuck,” he mumbled, once he looked down at his release all over your ass cheek. “You gotta see this.”
You didn’t say anything as you caught your breath against the table, a sweet smile playing on your lips as he walked around to show you his phone.
“Whoa, that’s hot,” you said, as you looked at the picture of the red handprint that was covered in his cum.
“Yeah,” he said, as he walked over to grab some tissues from the other side of the room. “Did you like doing it in here?”
“Yeah, if you want this to be our new spot for quickies, I’m down.”
“I know we just hooked up, but I still want you to come over tonight. I didn’t have enough time for all the things I wanted to do to you,” he said, as he slid his boxers and jeans back up.
“I’d love to, babe,” you said, smiling at him as you stood up.
“Good, because again, you won’t be able to walk when I’m done with you.”
ANOTHER AUTHOR'S NOTE: I know I did it again and left it open for a part 2, so if y'all want another part of this where it'll probably consist of nothing but fucking, let me know lmao. It'd definitely be more on the rough side👀

thinking about trouble sitting in a table at the library with a bunch of books around her and peter goes up to her to say hi thinking she’s alone and then some dude pops up and sits down next to her (he’s her new study buddy) and peter is a bit dumbfounded and trouble introduces them like “this is mike my new study buddy, and this is peter my ex boyfriend” or something just to throw peter off or something when they’ve broken up
it's the perfect setup. back table, no surrounding neighbors, sitting alone, public place and somewhere you can't get loud. peter's got you all to himself and he's moving in fast.
he slows halfway through when a threat approaches. he's tall and lanky, and heading straight for you. not gonna happen, he thinks. peter slides up to the table the second the guy with a target on his back sits next to you.
'hello, trouble.'
'peter.' you see the daggers he's throwing your innocent partner, not that you need to, but you still give an explanation. 'peter, meet mike, my new study buddy. mike, meet peter, my ex.'
'the ex, huh?'
peter doesn't like the tilt, his eyes narrow in. 'that's not a permanent title, but yours is.' you stop him right in his tracks, your chair glides across the carpet and you've got a hand on peter's chest backing him up.
'nope, back it up, let's go, not gonna happen, no no.' peter's appeasing you and allowing you to walk him back but he keeps his eye on mike and clenches his fist at the small wave that was sent him.
'he's fucking with me, trouble. i don't like him.'
'thank you for the opinion. goodbye.'
'you're just gonna hangout with this guy all alone in a sectioned off part of the library?'
you let out a sigh, if you don't tell him, he'd turn it into something bigger than it needs to be. 'do not confuse this for a bonus point for you, but he's gay. if anything, he's told me how cute you are.'
peter glances behind you, mike's still looking at him. 'really?'
'yeah, so you don't have to worry about me being alone in-'
'i don't care about that. you said he thought i was cute?'
you squint at him. 'are you trying to tell me something?' peter scoffs at the implication. 'i'm not ethan, i've just never had a dude into me. it's kind of flattering. like, wow, look at me go, both sexes want me.'
you go monotone. 'i'm so glad it didn't go to your head.' peter nudges your arm, 'oh, it totally did. this is pure ego talking right now, baby.' he's having a little fun.
'should i go over there and say hi, maybe take off my hoodie for him? he could get a look at these spectacular muscles.'
you push his chest a little harder, this time you don't move with him. 'goodbye, peter.'
'i'll see you later, trouble. tell my admirer i send kisses.'
you repeat yourself, peter finds your annoyance entertaining. 'goodbye, peter.'
'don't get jealous, i also send you kisses. unless you want the real thing...'
'goodbye, peter.'

Mixed Signals
Tumblr media
(Dr. Tobias Carrick x F!MC *Chris Valentine) (Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC*Chris Valentine) (Dr. Bryce Lahela x F!MC*Chris Valentine) in an Open Heart Fan fiction.
Masterlist
Chapter 1
"Wow!" Sienna exclaimed when Chris stepped into the living room. "You look gorgeous!"
Chris grinned as she obediently did a slow twirl for her roommates. The off the shoulder gray dress she had on not only highlighted her gray/green eyes but also hugged her lithe figure like a glove.
"Trying to make the rest of us look bad, Chris?" Aurora teased.
"Nope." Chris sat down next to her. "Just felt like dressing up tonight.
"You look great." Elijah told her.
Jackie snorted. "You look like someone who is going to be doing a walk of shame come five in the morning."
Chris rolled her eyes. "No walk of shame tonight. I've got an early morning at work to worry about."
"What a waste." Jackie pointed out. "That dress is meant for only one thing and hanging out with your coworkers isn't one of them."
Chris shrugged. "Tonight, this dress is meant to celebrate the fact that I'm still here."
"Amen to that." Sienna swooped behind her for another hug. "Let's get this night started!"
It didn't take long for the group of five to make their way over to Donahue's. By the time they arrived, the bar was packed with doctors attempting to destress before heading home for the night.
Chris smiled, exchanging a few words with those who called out to her, as she made her way to the bar. Squeezing between two men, she yelled out her group's drink order.
"Look who finally decided to show their face again!" One of the men next to her exclaimed.
Chris glanced up and found herself genuinely smiling. "Hey Mike!"
"Hey yourself. So you singing with us tonight or what?" He asked. "The crowd goes wild every time you join us for a few songs."
"I don't know." She glanced at the stage over in the far corner to see his band setting up for the night's entertainment.
Chris was known for having an amazing voice. She'd even been offered chances by producers during her college years to record some songs. Her heart though had always belonged to medicine. As much fun as she had performing, nothing gave her more satisfaction than trying to solve the mysteries of the human body.
Mike heard her singing karaoke one night and begged her to join his band. When she told him she couldn't possibly with her work schedule, he then pleaded with her to at least sing a few songs whenever she felt like it. Her roommates demanded she sing their favorite songs and so she usually spent at least one night every week or two performing for the patrons of Donahue's.
Singing had always been cathartic for Chris, especially in dealing with the two doctors who seemed destined to leave her in constant uncertainty. All she needed to help get over them pushing her away again and again were a few heartbreak songs. Then, she was good to go for the next round with them.
"Sienna told us what happened." Mike added. "It's good to see you're back to your old self."
"Thanks Mike."
He leaned closer to her. "Look, you can't tell me no about getting up there. That dress alone will make Reggie give us a bonus for performing tonight."
"She'll be up there." A man said over her shoulder.
Chris whirled towards the familiar voice on her other side only to find Tobias.
"I will, huh?" She asked, fighting back a smile.
"Uh huh. You owe me a chance to find out why this guy is begging you to sing." His eyes drifted down her figure. "I've been dodging Edenbrook staff left and right waiting on you to show up. You owe me one song for that sacrifice alone."
"And here I thought the chance to hang out with me was worth the effort." Chris shook her head in mock sadness.
"That too." He winked at her. "But you can't expect me to hear something like this and not demand a demonstration."
She bit back her laughter. "Okay. One song."
"Four." Mike pleaded.
"Not you too!" She playfully pushed the musician away. "I'm still recovering."
"Three." Tobias countered.
"You literally saw me on my death bed a few weeks ago." She reminded him.
"Yeah, I did. But looking at you now," his lips slowly curved, "I'm starting to doubt you were ever near Death's door."
Chris tried to remain firm but found herself capitulating with the full force of his smile directed at her.
"I'm only doing one song tonight, two if I feel up to it." She bit down on her bottom lip to keep from laughing. "Some of us aren't too sure our lungs are completely healed yet."
"I'd be more than happy to take you somewhere private and do an examination." Tobias offered with an unrepentant grin.
Chris playfully swatted his arm.
"I bet you would."
Mike watched their interactions quietly. With an understanding smile, he told Chris to come find him when she decided which songs she wanted to perform.
"I'll make sure she does." Tobias told him. "No way I'm leaving until I hear her sing."
"You're lucky I'm in such a good mood." Chris said once Mike was gone. "Normally I would have fought against caving under pressure."
He nudged her with his elbow, chuckling as he took a long sip of his drink.
She nudged him back.
It felt good to simply joke around with someone again and not be wondering what it all meant.
The two continued to tease one another as they discussed their day. Chris found herself forgetting about being there for a party as she listened to Tobias discuss a new mysterious case he was working on. He asked for her opinion, then offered his own with a patient she'd been given.
It was eye opening how different he was compared to the diagnostic team she worked with. Though he was just as intelligent as they were, he wasn't above admitting he hadn't thought of something. There was genuine admiration she could detect when he thanked her for a new possibility with his patient.
Granted, Ethan would usually give her a special smile when she came to a conclusion that he, Baz, nor June came to, but this was different. Maybe it was because she didn't feel like she was in a race to hurry and be the first to diagnose a patient.
Once the tray of drinks was set between them, Tobias helped her carry them to the table her friends were sitting. Chris was not really that surprised to see Bryce sitting with them. He usually left his fellow surgeons after a few drinks and remained with her and their friends the rest of the night.
The one that nearly floored her sitting there though was Ethan.
Chris couldn't recall a time when she'd ever seen him join anyone at the bar, much less the group she typically sat with. He'd never been one to purposely socialize.
She noticed Sienna squirming a bit beside him. Her eyes darted back and forth between Ethan, Tobias, and Chris.
Sienna was clearly in a panic over the fact that she practically yanked the doctor down to sit at their table as he walked past. She'd been determined to have everyone who loved Chris there to celebrate. She simply forgot about the possible animosity between him and Tobias.
Chris broke the tension first that seemed to leave everyone unusually silent.
"Here we go." She set the drinks out. "Sorry, Ethan. If I'd known you'd arrived, I would have ordered you something too."
The silence unnerved her as Ethan narrowed his eyes upon her and Tobias. His eyes remained on her a touch longer as if trying to discern what was truly going on between them. Chris could only handle the scrutiny for so long before she tried to escape.
"I'll, uh, I'll go order you something."
She whirled around and plunged back into the crowd, ignoring the multiple voices who told her not to worry about it and the offers of taking care of it for her.
Crap. I don't know why I thought this night would be fun. When has that ever been the case when the men in my life are added to the mix? The sexual tension alone never ends well, at least for me. Should I have invited Tobias out somewhere more neutral where I wouldn't run into Ethan, even if I want to just be friends with him?
Once she reached the bar, she took a deep breath and waited to get the nearest bartender's attention.
Chris nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt a hand touch her back.
"I told you I would get my drink." Ethan grumbled, sitting down beside her. "Besides, why are you paying for everyone's drinks tonight?"
"I'm celebrating life." She mumbled, wondering if he was even aware he still had his hand along the small of her back.
"We're the ones meant to celebrate that." He replied, settling his gaze on her profile.
Chris knew if she turned towards him, meeting those blue eyes of his, and saw any type of warmth in them that she'd weaken her stance on remaining romantically uninvolved with him.
She'd go back to longing for something she knew he'd say was difficult or impossible or whatever new argument he would use to keep her from getting closer to him. With this second chance at life, shouldn't she go for something new instead of something that usually leaves her heartbroken?
She glanced back at the table. Tobias was sitting in Ethan's vacated spot, talking easily to Bryce and her roommates.
At least that's going well, she thought.
"So?" Ethan drew her attention back to him. "Tobias was invited."
"He did save my life." Chris reminded him.
"That he did." He mumbled. "I didn't realize you two had gotten close since then."
"We've become friends." She explained.
"Friends?"
"Yes," Chris turned towards Ethan. "You know what a friend is?" Her eyes widened as if shocked. "Don't tell me that one of medicine's most brilliant minds has yet to learn what a friend is." She clucked her tongue in pity. "If you're still not sure, Google it."
Ethan rolled his eyes in response.
Chris grinned at him. She always got a thrill out of annoying him to the point he'd roll those blue eyes of his. It was an action she took a great deal of pride in causing. She knew if he didn't respond with a quip of his own that she'd won the round of banter.
"You two get together often?" Ethan asked after a few blessed seconds of silence.
"I think we will." Chris decided. "After all, he and I have a lot in common."
"Such as?"
"We're both doctors." She began.
"Which you have in common with nearly everyone in this bar." Ethan pointed out.
"We both have a sense of humor." She added.
"Once again, many here have one." He said, a tad impatiently.
Chris looked up at him. "Tobias and I have one more thing in common that I don't have with anyone here."
Ethan quirked an eyebrow in question.
"We both somehow manage to get under your skin faster than anyone else."
Before Ethan could respond to that, she paid for the drink that was set in front of him and began to edge her way back to her table.
"Chris!" He grasped her arm to stop her. "Wait a second."
She glared at his back as he pulled her towards the dark hallway where Reggie's office was. The owner's private room was behind a cleverly hidden panel that Ethan, Chris, and a few others had been given special access to.
"What do you want, Ethan?" She asked, once she shut the office door.
The desk lamp was the only light source and cast the room in shadows. Ethan's eyes had an almost glow to them as he stared at her. The room was a little larger than a typical book room, yet with the intense way he was looking at her, she felt the space shrink. Chris could only recall one other time he'd ever looked at her the way he was doing so in the dim light.
Miami.
Before she could blink, she found herself trapped between the door and Ethan's body. His lips crashed against hers, drawing a startled moan from her. Her body automatically arched against his as if determined to feel every inch of him.
She clutched him close, returning every bit of his kiss. When his mouth moved down her neck, she breathlessly asked him what this meant.
"I thought," she gasped when he kissed her once more, "I thought you said we couldn't be together because you're still my--"
"I know." His breaths were coming in and out quickly. "I still think that it is more complicated than either of us realize."
His hooded blue gaze held her gray eyes.
"I didn't want to fight against it anymore." Ethan admitted.
Chris's head dropped back against the door as she tried to control her racing heart. It was hard to think clearly with him not only this close, but also with his hands and mouth still caressing her.
"Ethan?" She whispered, closing her eyes. "What do you want from me?"
"You already know the answer to that." He kissed her once more, silencing any other questions she might have.
She did know. She also knew why this might not be such a good idea. If she didn't know his arguments by heart now, she never would. She understood he was still allowing his moral code over her career to keep him from fully committing to her.
The question was: could she continue to exist with him in this gray area of love?
Chris knew if he'd say the word, she'd commit to him without a second thought. Once he allowed it, she'd love him with every piece of her heart.
But he wouldn't say it. He wouldn't allow the chance to happen. He couldn't let them finally be together, out in the open, in every single way.
Even if he'd suggested they be together in secret, exclusively and on a regular basis, she'd give herself to him without a second thought while she worked out a way to make it so in their world.
And yet here they were again, giving into temptation, without any hope for the future.
"We should," she cursed herself for her voice shaking, "we should get back before anyone notices we're gone."
"You're right." He stepped away, his fingers caressing her cheek.
She opened the door and glanced back at him. "Would you like to talk about us later tonight? Maybe drive me home?"
His visible hesitation made her heart clinch.
Deciding she didn't want to hear his answer, she hurried back into the bar.

If you’re still taking baby prompts, Susie’s and or Lenny’s thoughts about “I love it when they’re fresh out of the draw” convo with Imogene.
"You know what goes in drawers?" Lenny mutters as he opens it up, revealing his newborn daughter. "Underpants."
Midge laughs tiredly and gazes down at Lily adoringly. "This way she gets to be right here, close to us."
"I suppose it could be worse," Lenny muses as he lifts the infant into his arms and sits on the edge of Midge's bed. "It could be a trash chute."
"A mailbox," Midge offers.
"See, that would fit the whole stork thing," Lenny points out, letting Lily grip onto his finger with her tiny hand.
Midge smiles, settling back against her pillows and smiling as she watches them.
Lenny sighs softly. "I cannot believe we're doing this again."
"Well, it's too late to turn back now," Midge reminds him. "The baby has breached the vagina. Can't stuff her back in now."
"You are so lucky your mother isn't around to hear that joke," Lenny comments with a laugh.
"She will be soon enough," Midge says. "Inspecting Lily's forehead and how far apart her eyes are."
Lenny frowns deeply as he gazes at their daughter. "She's perfect. She's got a great forehead. Eyes seem fine."
"She though Esther wouldn't be a pretty girl."
"Esther's beautiful, how much drugs was your mother taking?"
"A lot of Seconal back then," Midge admits.
"That explains everything."
Midge holds out her arms. "Give her. Snack time."
Lenny nods and shifts Lily over, but doesn't move otherwise as Midge adjusts to start nursing.
"This isn't weird for you?" Midge asks.
"What?" Lenny asks.
"My tits being used for something other than fun bedroom activities."
He gives her a confused look. "You're literally using them for their intended purpose. The fun bedroom stuff is an added bonus."
Midge considers, but doesn't respond.
Lenny lays back carefully on her legs and looks up at the ceiling. "So no. It's not weird that you're feeding our child. Jesus, maybe it's finally time that I punched Joel in his fucking face."
"No saying fucking in front of the baby."
"You did it."
"Okay, that's fair."
"Our other three kids know how to curse," Lenny points out. "Lily would feel left out if she didn't get an early start."
"One of these days, Ethan is going to call a his teacher a cocksucker, and then we're going to have to explain where he heard that."
"We'll blame Mei."
"Good plan."
Lenny turns his hand and gazes at his wife and daughter. "Hey."
Midge shifts Lily to burp her gently over her shoulder, using a little washcloth to catch any spit up. "Yeah?"
"I'm really happy," he says softly.
She smiles as Lily spits up a load of milk onto the washcloth. "I'm glad, because the amount of disgusting bodily fluids we have to deal with just went from a very low number to a very high number."
"I can't wait."

Unit Viability Speculation - Victor
God, I've been waiting for this since I saw his kit, I'm so excited.
Victor sucks!
Oh, I'm sorry, I should've specified: I don't care about Victor, and actively want the worst for him since he became Reddit's incel poster child for whining about female protagonists getting all the attention over more deserving men.
Victor is a physical Grass-type striker.  His main move is Drum Beating, a 4-bar move with perfect accuracy and a speed debuff for some reason, yielding a damage penalty that puts him at 160 base.  For comparison, SC Rosa, out now, is 185 at base because of the accuracy limitation she doesn't have, and still gets -2 special defense to massively improve her damage every hit.  Point 1 for SC Rosa, but don't worry, there will be others.
He gets Dire Hit+, and his trainer move is +6 attack with free move next and physical moves up next +1.  Meaning he's a three-turn setup guy, compared to Rosa's effective 1.  Score 2 for Rosa.
His secondary move is High Horsepower.  It is just damage.  It's also worth noting his attack isn't even that great compared to more recent fare. So frankly, you will never use his Ground-type damage after Cynthia's grid expansion, Maxie's rerun, Courtney's Zone, or even Naomi being free or Hapu's EX.  Meanwhile, Rosa got Sweet Scent to debuff evasion -2 for rare multipliers and general accuracy, and essentially Team Sharp Entry on trainer move. Score 3 for Rosa.
I'm going to take a moment from dunking on Victor to talk about his merits. Namely, Targets Maxed, and Piercing Blows.  Yeah, he got Piercing Blows. Because that's normal.  Targets Maxed makes his Max Move AoE, which is nice but not super crazy?  At least not to me. It feels more like an SS Ethan-ism, where it removes the need to ever EX him because the AoE sync doesn’t matter due to his other tools.
His grid offers some fun tools.  Overwhelm 9 is a nice attack debuff every move, High Horsepower has Bogo 9 so he can dual strike. Twofer 2 is okay but inconsistent, and Rejuvenate 6 is useless.  Hunter's Instinct is good with his debuff, and of course the sync multiplier is the notorious Cakewalk.  What is nice is Critical Eye on his trainer move, easing setup by a turn, but at this point it should be clear what Victor does.  He supplements.  He is bonus damage that attempts to be as limited on gauge use as possible.  And just like SC Sonia, I don't think it works in his favor.  Victor's slow, and his attacking moves are high-gauge cost.  High Horsepower gets completely free actions after the first, but Drum Beating runs a dangerous risk of being unavailable in a dual-strike comp, making him...kind of a problem in those capacities.
And then there's the true nail.   Everything about his kit relies on speed debuffs.  His multipliers in every angle are about speed debuffs, which are useless.  They almost never delay the foe's attacks, and exist solely for multipliers.  They're hard to set up because almost every user of speed debuff is single-target one stage at a time, making it rough in 3v3 content.  His Max Move doesn't even set Grassy Terrain, so there goes the one interesting point of utility he could have had, thanks to Gigantamax being worse.  He makes up for it with Max Move AoE damage, but by now you know where I'm going with this.
Rosa's infinitely better than this guy.  Her multipliers are easier to set up just by herself, and the team utility she provides is off the charts good, to say nothing of her absurd sync nuke.  Victor cannot compete with SC Rosa. He's weaker by attack and by sync, his team support is nonexistent, his debuffs are both slower and worse, and his gauge control is worse because you're constantly praying for 30% rolls to always go in your favor.
Also sorry, it just connected that some of Victor's skills are 4/5 and 5/5 locked. Those are High Horsepower BOGO 9, so there goes any utility in Ground, Overwhelm 9 so there goes his debuff utility, Max Damage Guard so there goes some extra tanking, and Max Slip Up for -2 speed that could've made his access to sync nuke reasonable.  Unlike Wally, Victor actually loses some of his best traits to this.
This is the most skippable PokeFair in ages.  A character I don't care about, with a Pokemon I'm not as invested in, and a performance that is nothing short of middling.

Just One Look
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey and f!MC (Luz Beltrán) | Category: fluff | Rating: M | Warnings: none | Word Count: 1k | AO3 link
Summary: Ethan and Luz take a much-needed relaxing break.
A/N: At long last, I’m back with a new fic after a three-month-long hiatus. I just want to give a MASSIVE thanks to @lsvdw-blog for her constant motivation and help; this one would have forever been sitting in my wips otherwise. ILYSM, L!
Tumblr media
“Hermosa, we’re back.”
The stillness surrounding the apartment is interrupted as Ethan steps through the front door with a leashed Jenner in tow.
“Luz?” he calls out again only to be met with silence. “Your mom fall asleep already, boy?”
The chinook tilts his head at his question and bolts past Ethan once he’s freed from his restraint.
If there’s one thing Jenner loves more than his tasty food and koala plush toy, it’s cuddling with Ethan and Luz on their bed. A realization that hits Ethan too late; he rushes toward their bedroom with the hope that the ruckus hasn’t roused her from her sleep.
It’d been an exhausting day at the hospital; Ethan was officially Chief of Medicine while Luz was Head of Diagnostics. Work was busier, and on long nights such as tonight, sleep called their name— but not before they fed themselves and took Jenner out for a walk, which Ethan volunteered to do.
As soon as Ethan steps into their bedroom, he takes notice of the empty bed and the stripe of light emanating from the ajar bathroom door.
Luz’s ginger-scented body wash reaches him as he steps closer. The scent alone invigorates his desires and conjures the captivating image of her long neck and his lips trailing kisses across her collarbone— that sweet scent on every inch of her skin.
“Enjoying the view?”
His thoughts are interrupted by the vixen herself, looking like the vision of his dreams as he stands in the doorframe. His eyes trail over Luz’s body laid out in the bath, the bubbles giving him a glimpse of the naked beauty beneath, and the candles beside her providing a heavenly warm glow.
“The best I’ve ever seen,” he declares as he strides further into the room.
Her pillowy, dewy lips form a sultry smile, and he falls further into her seduction.
“So, are you just gonna stand there?”
The question she utters is all he needs to bring his mouth to hers. The kiss quickly becomes urgent as he cradles her face. A soft sigh escapes her, and just as he’s lost in her delectable taste, he feels her grasp on his collar and tips forward.
“Hey, wait a minute!” he yelps as he grabs hold of the bathtub to avoid completely falling in. “My phone’s in my pocket.” His hand pats his thigh to ensure that his phone is right where it should be... and dry.
Crisis averted.
She smothers a laugh. “Which is why you should’ve just walked in here naked.”
“I thought you were asleep.”
“Felt like having a bath.” She shrugs and stifles a yawn. “Water’s warm, it feels nice...”
“I take it this is an invitation to join you?” he asks, raising a meaningful brow.
“If nearly pulling you in here with me wasn’t an invitation enough, I don’t know what is... Strip. Now.”
He snickers, raising both hands in the air. “Yes, ma’am.”
She drinks in the sight of his 6’4 figure as he begins unbuttoning his shirt, the action holding her attention like a hypnotic spiral. Her eyes trace every sculpted muscle as it becomes exposed until he’s standing before her in all his naked glory. Everything about him is glorious.
“I’m so damn lucky,” she says with a wolf whistle, meeting his heated gaze.
“I repeat the same thing to myself every day.”
The bubbles have dispersed, and his gaze roams her from head to toe, taking his sweet time memorizing every delicious curve.
The heat of his gaze envelops her; she can’t take a second more without his touch. “Get in here, Casanova,” she instructs, scooting forward to accommodate him.
With a grin, he situates himself inside the large bathtub behind her, his arms instinctively wrapping around her waist.
“Jenner got sick of us,” Luz points out, noting Jenner’s absence.
“Good, because I want all of your attention right now.”
“Someone sounds jealous,” she teases, her hands absentmindedly softly stroking his thighs.
“Jealous of a slobbery mutt who drinks from the toilet? I don’t think so,” he says with a shake of his head.
Luz chuckles, tossing her head back before wincing at the sudden movement.
“What’s wrong? What is it?” he asks, frowning in concern.
“No, no, nothing, just slightly sore all over; it was a long day.”
“Well, just lay back against me. Let’s stay like this for a while.” He lifts her hand to his lips, trailing them over her knuckles.
“I haven’t washed my hair,” she mumbles softly.
“Allow me.”
He goes to grab the bottle of shampoo and squeezes a sizable dollop onto his palm before massaging it into her hair.
“Thank you.”
Her shoulders immediately relax as his hands knead her scalp.
“Of course, darling,” he whispers into her ear, the graze of his lips spreading pleasant shivers throughout her body.
Once he’s finished rinsing her hair, the next comforting sensation she feels is his lips leaving chaste kisses along her neck.
One tender kiss after the other, his lips are soft and gentle across her skin. She all too quickly becomes putty in his hands and leans back against his chest with a contented smile on her face, the soreness ebbing away.
She twists her body to bury her face in the crook of his neck and closes her eyes as they lapse into a comfortable silence, their heartbeats calm as they relish in each other’s warmth.
He tightens his hold on her and looks down at her peaceful form. A gentle smile illuminates her face, the curve of a smile that makes his heart soar every time. He’s mesmerized, completely enraptured by the woman in his arms.
Her eyes blink open, sensing his eyes on her, and linger on him as his fingers skim her cheekbones. Just one look and she feels his love bursting through.
Her hand rests on his, and she closes the gap between them. Their kisses start lazy and slow until she feels his body responding to her. With a nip to her bottom lip, his kisses become desperate and possessing, and his hands cup and squeeze her rear.
“Wasn't this morning enough for you?" she mutters between kisses.
He pulls back, and his eyes bore into hers, sparkling and adoring as he brushes her hair back. "I'll never get enough of you.”
And she doesn’t doubt him for a second. She pulls him in once more, sealing the promise of forever.
Bonus: a picture of our very good boy Jenner <3

Thank you to @jamespotterthefirst for humouring me and sending me these questions. I hope that it will help with my OPH/writing rut! I'm so excited to answer them for Brooke x Ethan. 🥰
The setting is: post-Dolores/the Naveen reveal, but pre-Miami.
Let's get started!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
INT. COFFEE SHOP - MID-AFTERNOON
Two doctors sit at a small table. One has her leg crossed, foot swinging lightly. Her face is open and slightly amused. The other has his hands clasped loosely between his open legs. He is blatantly less impressed than his colleague.
Ethan: This is ludicrous.
Brooke: [laughs lightly] Can't you just humour them?
Ethan: Last time I checked, we had a job that didn't involve answering foolish questions for some sophomore publication.
Brooke: They want to humanize the doctors in the hospital. Make us more… approachable. It's not a bad idea.
Ethan: [in a low grumble] I don't want to be approached or humanized.
Brooke [loud laugh] Shocker.
Are we all set to begin?
Brooke: [clears throat] Er, yes. Sorry.
Ethan: [glares]
For Both
When I first saw them, I thought ____________
Brooke and Ethan: [look at each other for a beat, then speak simultaneously]
Brooke: Well, I— Ethan: She, uh—
Ethan: [clears throat] You go first.
Brooke: [shoots him a look] Well. I, uh, was taken aback by your presence.
Ethan: What does that mean?
Brooke: Well, you know, you're very—you command a room, let's just say. And then you got awfully bossy, but it was good because I was panicking. And, uh—that's pretty much it. Your turn.
Ethan: I thought she was very young and inexperienced. And I was proven correct almost immediately.
Brooke: [elbows him] Can't you say something nice?
Ethan: You said commanding and bossy!
Brooke: It was a compliment!
Ethan: Fine. She was…surprisingly competent for an intern.
Brooke: [sarcastically waves a hand in front of her face] My goodness, I'm swooning.
What is your coworker's most used swear word?
Brooke and Ethan: "Fuck."
Brooke: It's not very professional, but—
Ethan: —it is necessary at times. Although I did hear another one from you the other day that I quite enjoyed. "Son of a whore", was it?
Brooke: [blushes] Whoops.
Ethan: You're lucky there weren't any patients around.
Brooke: [innocently] Patients don't swear?
Ethan: [withering look] I'll let you know when patients need to be held to the same professional standards as the doctors who treat them.
Brooke: Well, whatever. I was in the supply closet anyway and it was because I had gotten a cardboard papercut, which is notoriously the worst kind of papercut—[suddenly eyes him suspiciously] I didn't even know you were there.
Ethan: [coughs] I was, uh, walking past when I heard your inappropriate outburst and I stopped to ensure it wasn't a wayward psychiatric patient lost amongst the halls.
Brooke: [dryly] Hilarious.
Quick: What color are their eyes?
Brooke: Oh, blue. Blue-blue. Like, a very crystal clear blue.
Ethan: I think we get it. Brooke's eyes are hazel but they err on the side of green.
Brooke: "Err on the side of green"?
Ethan: Yes. Like when you wore that sweater the other day, they appeared more— [clears throat] I'm not going to sit here and explain the illusion of refractory light. Next question.
Three people at work your coworker hates?
Brooke: [dryly] Just thr—?
Ethan: [cuts her off] Yes, yes, we get the joke, I hate everyone. Brooke on the other hand, hates no one. I believe she should be more discerning.
Brooke: You would.
What is your coworker’s strangest or most endearing quirk?
Ethan: Endearing? I—
Brooke: Oh, oh—the tie thing!
Ethan: The… tie thing?
Brooke: You do this thing when you're trying to get your emotions under control. It's like a [presses thumb against her other fingers in a crab-claw gesture] grab all the way down and then a flat palm just to smooth it again. [mimics a smoothing gesture down the front of her shirt, keeping her face pinched and stoic]. The "double-tie-grab-and-smooth" is what I call it. As of two seconds ago.
Ethan: Fascinating. As for Brooke, I can think of two.
Brooke: Here we go.
Ethan: The first is to ensure she never borrows your pen, as it will be returned to you as though someone inserted it into a pencil sharpener. I don't know how she isn't covered in ink constantly, the way she gnaws on the ends so violently.
Brooke: First of all, it's not that bad. Secondly, [mumbles] I have had a pen or two explode on me.
Ethan: I am extremely unsurprised. And the second is the sheer number of cardigans left everywhere - around my office, the faculty room, patients' rooms, and so on. She leaves them like breadcrumbs in a children's fairytale.
Brooke: [laughing too hard to speak]
Ethan: Yes, very funny and professional.
Brooke: [still laughing] Could you at least…grab one…next time you see it? I'm running low!
Ethan: What a surprise.
If they had a crush on anyone at work, who would that be?
Ethan: [scoffs] A "crush"? The very concept of a 'crush' is extremely juvenile and I refuse to pander to such incongruous—
Brooke: Dr. Harper Emery
Ethan: [splutters] I beg your pardon?
Brooke: [smirks]
Ethan: Well, yours would be that scalpel jockey surfer boy that's always mooning over you.
Brooke: [turns to him, aghast] Bryce? I don't have a crush on him! And neither does he. On me, I mean.
Ethan: On you, indeed.
Brooke: What's that supposed to mean?
Ethan: Hmm? Oh, nothing. Simply that the way he pressed you to the floor in the observation room of Surgery B would say otherwise, that's all.
Brooke: [blushes deeply] You saw that?
Ethan: I see everything, Rookie.
[There is an extended, awkward silence.]
Never Have I Ever:
Ethan: What is this now?
Brooke: [hides a smile] It's a game. A drinking game. You really don't know it?
Ethan: If you're asking if I'm familiar with a college-level excuse to get sauced and forget about my classes for the next week, then no. I don't know it.
Brooke: [rolls her eyes] It's simple. They ask a question. If you've done it, you take a drink. If you haven't, you don't. And [lightly swings her take-out coffee cup in his face] I don't think you'll get drunk on herbal tea, so you'll be fine.
Okay, let's begin. Never have I ever…
...come into work hungover
Brooke and Ethan: [take a drink]
Brooke: Really?
Ethan: I wish I could affect the same level of surprise for you.
...had a fistfight
Brooke and Ethan: [take a drink]
Ethan: [raises an eyebrow at Brooke]
Brooke: [shrugs] Rowdy childhood.
Ethan: [nods] Same. [coughs] Perhaps… rowdy adolescence. And, uh, [another light cough] early adulthood, as well.
Brooke: Dr. Ramsey!
...been kicked out of a bar
Ethan: [takes a drink]
Brooke: Oh?
Ethan: That rowdy early adulthood I spoke of? Yeah.
Brooke: Ah.
...gotten a tattoo
Brooke: [avoids eye contact, takes a drink]
Ethan: [turns to her swiftly, looking shocked, then quickly composes himself] Let me guess - dolphin on your ankle?
Brooke: Shut up.
Ethan: Christ, am I right?
Brooke: No, but you might as well be.
Ethan: [laughs, which seems to surprise them both, then clears his throat] We all have regrets, Dr Spiers.
Brooke: [grimaces and slouches in her seat]
Ethan: [stares at her for a beat longer than necessary, before leaning back in his chair with a thoughtful expression]
...broken someone’s heart
Ethan and Brooke: [quickly look at each other; neither drinks]
Brooke: No? You?
Ethan: What's that supposed to mean?
Brooke: Just surprised all this [gestures vaguely at his face] didn't get the ladies all worked up in—where are you from?
Ethan: Rhode Island. And no, "all this" [gestures to his own face] took awhile to grow into itself, I assure you.
Brooke: [laughs] Oh, big same.
Ethan: [gives her a sidelong glance, a soft smile playing at his lips]
...been in love
Brooke: [takes a drink]
Ethan: Really?
Brooke: What, it's so hard to believe?
Ethan: Well, you said you'd never broken someone's heart.
Brooke: [smiles at him softly, a bit sadly] Never said my heart hadn't been broken, Dr Ramsey. Some people are the heartbreakers, some are the broken-hearted.
Ethan: [splutters] Preposterous.
Brooke: [looks surprised] What is?
Ethan: That you—I mean, that is—that someone— [he pauses, fidgeting with his tie before smoothing it down] It's his loss, Rookie. [clears his throat, looking away]
Brooke: [smiles, bemused yet pleased, a warmth in her eyes] Thank you, Dr Ramsey.
For Brooke (Ethan is not there)
Where do you see him in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)
Oh, [scoffs out a laugh] wherever he wants to be. He's Ethan freaking Ramsey. He can do whatever he wants. What's the highest position in the hospital? Chief of Medicine? That. [Thinks for a moment] Well, no, actually. He probably wouldn't want to be admin. But whatever he could do that would still have him on the ground, helping people, at the highest level of expertise - that's where he'll be.
And, uh, personally?
Oh. Well. [fidgets, looks away]. I'm sure I don't know. Probably married to some supermodel who will put up with him never being home and always being reticent and grouchy. [Laughs humourlessly]
What do you find the most impressive about him?
Oh gosh. [Pauses] Probably how much he cares. I know you see him now and you think, god, what an asshole. And you're not wrong. But the truth is, he has to maintain this facade of a huge, unfeeling jerk, because the fact of the matter is he cares so deeply. [Her expression goes distant and soft]. Honestly, he cares so much I'm worried it will be his downfall one day.
Last thing he texted you?
[Laughs] He hates texting. But I think it was, "What time is this - redacted - thing again"?
If he asked you out on a date, what would you say?
Ah… [laughs uncomfortably] What, like, right now? The way we are? Or as two… random people in a bar?
Right now. The way you are.
[Blushes and continues to laugh awkwardly] Is he—you said he won't see these?
No, this part will be anonymous and the information gathered will be for statistical purposes, not anecdotal.
[Fake bravado affectation] Oh, well, if it's for statistics— [pauses] I would say yes. In a heartbeat. I would say yes. [Smiles, almost apologetically] I mean, have you seen him?
For Ethan (Brooke is not there)
Where do you see her in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)
Wherever she wants to be. She's a highly motivated and intelligent individual. I give her a hard time, because I see great potential in her and feel as though, as her mentor, she should be pushed to achieve the pinnacle of success. Which is undoubtedly capable of.
And personal?
I don't presume to know what the future holds for my interns' personal lives. [A long pause] But I would hope… [clears throat, picks non-existent lint off his pants, continues gruffly] I would hope she remains happy and healthy, without anymore instances of [clears throat, again] heartbreak. Of any kind.
What specifically do you find attractive about her?
I'm sorry?
What do you find attractive—
No, I heard you, I just find this sort of question wildly inappropriate and I refuse to answer it.
Okay, so we'll just put down 'nothing'.
Hold on, don't—I didn't say nothing. Just say I didn't answer.
We need some sort of answer.
Oh, for Christ's sake—will she see this? Will anyone?
No, it's information that will be used for statistical—
Fine, alright, I don't care. She's obviously an incredibly attractive woman. Are you happy? [Pauses] I mean, specifically? I would say her eyes. Especially when she smiles and they crinkle up on the sides. Also, her laugh. She's not a woman who 'titters'. Brooke isn't afraid to—well, to simply live. She laughs loudly, loves boldly, defends strongly. [His expression grows thoughtful,] She said I was a presence in a room? When she walks into—anywhere, the entire room stands still. It's like the air has been sucked out of it. And within seconds, they're enthralled. Within minutes, they love her. That's Brooke. [Clears throat] Don't put any of that. Just write down "Her intelligence."
Last thing she texted you?
"Be nice." And then some moving picture image of a dog wagging its finger. [Rolls his eyes] I hate texting.
If she asked you out on a date, how would you respond?
[Sighs wearily]
Again, she won't know. It's for statistical—
[Waves hand dismissively before sighing once more] In an ideal world—[cuts himself off and tries again] Look. Any man would be lucky to have Dr. Brooke Spiers as his partner. [Pauses] And that includes me. [clears throat] But we don't live in an ideal world. And a relationship between her and I would not only be inappropriate, but it would also inhibit her potential to achieve the highest levels of success that she is capable of achieving. [Pauses] And I would never do that to her.
[Stands up abruptly] Are we done here? We're done. Rookie! [Leaves to meet Dr. Spiers, who is waiting for him outside.]
EXT. COFFEE SHOP - LATE AFTERNOON
OBSERVED FROM INSIDE THE COFFEE SHOP
The two doctors greet each other with a smile. NOTE: Dr Ramsey immediately appears calmer in the other doctor's presence.
He says something and Dr Spiers bumps him playfully with her shoulder. Dr Ramsey continues to speak, gesturing towards her ankle, and Dr Spiers throws her head back and laughs loudly.
Dr Ramsey watches her laugh with a small smile on his face, before allowing her shove him lightly in the direction that they are meant to take.
They walk side by side, chatting and smiling, until they disappear from view.

The Newlywed Game: Round 11
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N: Not gonna lie, I'm a little excited to answer my own questions lol As always, a huge thank you to our queen of the newlywed game, the icon that brought us Allensey, @jamespotterthefirst! Wedding Wednesday would not exist without you. Also, I best be seeing Allensey answer these, ma'am!
For Both:
1. Where did you go on your second date?
Genevieve: Our patient's art show, although we could count the opera, but I was sad and you were -- Ethan: No. Those were not dates, G. Gen: You asked me out, there for they're dates. Ethan: No, no, no. If we go by this logic, our first date would have been that time you followed me to Derry's and we people watched. Gen: Exactly. Ethan: *pinches the bridge of his nose* Our second date was the drive in theater in Meldon, they were playing grease. You wore your hair like Sandy in the beginning of the movie, it was cute. Gen: Had to be on theme. But let's be honest, we only watched like fifteen minutes of the movie, the rest of the time we made out in your car. Ethan: *smiles wide*
2. What is their pet name for you? Do you have a favorite? Do you have a least favorite?
Ethan: She calls me 'babe' most often, it's not my favorite. Gen: Let me guess, your favorite is chief? Ethan: No, it's not. It's "my love". You don't use it often, but when you do, the look in your eyes... it's my favorite, hands down. Gen: *heart eyes* Ethan uses a variety for me; darling, sweetheart, love, baby on the super rare occasion. Also, G, which didn't start as a pet name, but it's kind of turned into one. He's like one of the few people in the world that call me G, and that makes it special, too. Ethan: Which is your favorite, "baby"? Gen: Rookie, because it didn't come from my name, and it's not the usual pet name. It's just for me. Second favorite is "baby" because it's just *fan's self*. And no least favorite.
3. What is their silliest fear?
Gen: Interns. Ethan: I'm not afraid of interns! Gen: Social interaction? Ethan: Will you -- Gen: *smirks* Ethan: Her silliest fear is the dark. Gen: How is that silly? Lots of people are afraid of the dark. Ethan: Children, maybe. And it's a situational fear, you're completely fine in the dark in our home, but you're petrified of the dark outside. Gen: You can't see what's there! There could be a ghost or a zombie, or a creepy dude coming to kidnap me. Ethan: We live in a city, that's never dark enough for something to jump out of the shadows. Gen: Stop judging me, old man.
4. How often do you go on dates together? Do you think it’s enough or would you like to go out more often?
Gen: Once a week, we have a "date night". More often than not, though, it's just us making dinner and watching a movie or something. But it's a night where we put our phones in the other room and just spend time together. Ethan: We try to go physically out on a date every couple of weeks. Gen: And it's never enough. Ethan: I know, I need to get better at prioritizing our relationship. Gen: No, I meant, like, no matter what it'll never be enough. We could go on a date every night of the week and I'll still feel like it's not enough. You're my person, I wanna be with you all the time. Ethan: *looks at G like she hung the moon* I love you. Gen: I love you.
5. What was the first thing your spouse said after the proposal?
Gen: My name. Ethan: Because you were standing there, unmoving. I was getting concerned. Gen: Like I'd have said anything other than "yes". Besides, I was in a little bit of shock. But after that, I said yes. And then "I love you." And then -- Ethan: I have to call my mom. But that came hours later.
6. If you were forced to marry one of your exes, who would it be?
Ethan: What exactly is the point of this question? Gen: To make you jealous. I'd marry my first boyfriend, Patrick. He's one of the sweetest guys in the world. Ethan: You answered that way too quick. He's the one I met during your second year, correct? The one visiting his sister? Gen: Yes, that was Patrick. Ethan: *grumbles* Gen: *laughs* Your turn. Ethan: No one. I never even considered marriage until you. Gen: Okay, but you're being forced, therefore, you have to pick someone. Harper? Ethan: No, Camila. Gen: Seriously? Ethan: Seriously. Harper and I, we were great and all, but that was situational, convenient. Camila I had rather deep feelings for, and she's an incredible doctor and woman. I'd pick her. Gen: *pouts* Okay, you're right, I don't like this question, it's stupid. Ethan: *laughs then kisses her cheek* Don't worry, love, I'm sure Tobias would steal her from me again.
Bonus Round:
Speaking of exes, describe each of your spouse’s exes using three words only. Go!
Gen: Cam; smart, philanthropic, inspiring. Harper; intelligent, beautiful, iconic. Anna; funny, compassionate, cheerful. I'm only naming those three, because they're your most serious relationships. If I name all the woman you dated for less than two weeks, we'd be here for like another ten minutes. Ethan: I feel insulted. Gen: Your turn. Ethan: Patrick; polite, lack-luster, tall. Jackson; rude, unintelligent, vain. Ryan; narcissistic, vacuous, cowardly, cruel, predatory -- Gen: Three, babe, they said three. Ethan: Fine, moving on. Nate: small-minded, cynical, disorganized. Gen: How is Nate small-minded? He's a doctor, who works at the Mayo Clinic. Ethan: Because he refused to be sympathetic or understanding to your trauma from Ryan. Therefore, he's small-minded. And a whole host of other words. Gen: *giggles* You hate all of my exes. Ethan: Not all of them, Rookie. I don't hate Patrick. Gen: Fine.
That last one was so fun to do. I love over-protective-hates everyone Ethan. Someday, I'll write the fic where he meets Patrick, takes place like right before the attack in book 2.
(tagging separately because that seems to be the only way tags work lately)

Um yes yes yes yes yes to sneak peak
SAY LESS 👀
beneath the read more is a sneak peek to a bonus chapter for wltay<3 read at your own risk if you don’t want to know the obvious ending i’ve hinted towards 👀😂
“Momma...where’s her hair?”
“It’s there,” Caroline laughed, brushing a finger softly against the blonde wisps. “It’s just very light cause she’s got blonde hair.”
“She looks bald.” He replied, scrunching his nose.
“Brady looked bald in all of his baby pictures,” Matt laughed.
“Is it going to get dark like mine?”
“It could,” she replied, shrugging her shoulders. “Or it could stay blonde and just get a little darker like Daddy’s.”
They watched as Scarlett started to move her mouth, sticking her tongue out just barely between her tiny lips before she yawned and slowly opened her eyes, blinking slowly before keeping them open and looking around.
“Are her eyes blue like mine and Daddy’s?” Ethan asked, leaning close to her face before looking at Caroline. “They look darker.”
“We won’t know that for a few months bud,” Matt replied, keeping one hand on Ethan’s back as he brushed his thumb softly against Scarlett’s head with the other. “Most babies are born with blue eyes, sometimes gray or even dark brown. But the more their eyes are exposed to light, the color can change.”
“You had really dark blue eyes when you were born and now look at them.” Caroline said, poking his nose. “You’ve got those light baby blues.”
“I hope they look like yours,” he replied, looking at her. “You’ve got pretty eyes.”
“Hey!” Matt pouted, keeping his voice calm. “I’ve got pretty eyes too and hello, I gave them to you.”
“Yeah, but I like Momma’s too.” He shrugged.
Matt rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone, looking up at Caroline. “It’s Brady and he wants to know how long we plan on hoarding her before we let them come in to see her.”
“They can come in now.”
“Alright, i’ll go get them,” Matt typed a reply on his phone before sliding it back into his pocket. He kissed the top of Ethan’s head, ducking down to gently kiss Scarlett’s head before leaning across and kissing Caroline. “I’ll be right back, you three.” He mumbled, kissing her again.
“Ew.” Ethan groaned, leaning his head back. “Stop doing that in front of me.”
Matt rolled his eyes before kissing Caroline playfully, earning a laugh from her as she shoved him back. “Just go get the rest of our party before they riot in the waiting room.”
Matt stood up and walked towards the door, opening it and stopping to turn around, pointing at the tiny newborn. “No growing or doing anything remotely cute until I get back.” Then he pulled out his cellphone and pointed it at the bed, smiling and taking a picture. “Okay, okay I’m leaving now.”
“You still got her head supported?” Caroline asked.
“Mhhm,” he nodded, lifting his arms slightly as he leaned back against the hospital bed. “She’s pretty, Momma. Tiny too.”
“I remember when you were this tiny,” she replied, reaching up and brushing her fingers through his hair. She opened her mouth to speak, only to close it again as even the simple thought of how Ethan used to be this tiny, once upon a time, sent her hormones into overdrive and brought tears to her eyes.
“Momma, are you okay?” He asked, looking up at her. “Do I press the nurse button?”
“No, I’m fine,” she nodded, blotting at her eyes with the collar of her gown. “I just can’t believe you used to be this small where I could hold you in my arms and now you’re 11 and you barely fit in the bed and now you’re holding your baby sister,” she sniffled again, shaking her head. “I’m fine. I’m fine, it’s fine.”
Ethan, though he couldn’t get any closer, scooted into her side and laid his head down just below her collarbone as he raised his arms up and brought a bundled up Scarlett further up his chest. “I’m not a baby anymore, but I’ll be the best big brother,” he said, looking at Caroline before looking back down at Scarlett. “I can teach her about hockey, how to skate and shoot. I’ll help her learn the alphabet and how to count. That no matter what BeeBee says, monsters definitely don’t hide in your closet if you don’t eat all of your vegetables. And what Daddy said, no dating until she’s 30.”
Caroline laughed and brought her hand up to the back of his head, brushing it down as she kissed the top of his head and leaned her cheek against it. “You’ll be a great big brother, Ethan. She’ll be the luckiest little girl in the world.”
“But she already is,” he replied, turning to look at her. “She’s got you and Daddy as parents. You guys are the best.”
“I’m holding you to that the next time you grumble about me telling you to clean your room,” she smiled, letting her hand drift down till it was resting at his shoulder and she held him into her, kissing his head again. “But we’re lucky to have such a sweet boy like you.”
“Alright, where’s big brother?” Brady came rushing into the room, holding out his arms.

No worries. All of this is off the record and HR will never know!
The setting for this answers is:
For Both
When I first saw them, I thought__________
What is your coworker's most used swear word?
Quick: What color are their eyes?
Three people at work your coworker hates?
What is your coworker’s strangest or most endearing quirk?
If they had a crush on anyone at work, who would that be?
(Bonus round! Feel free to skip.)

Tumblr media
Setting: OH 1 - sometime after attending the Opera
For Both
When I first saw them, I thought__________
(Silence) Casey: You're going to make me go first, aren't you?
Ethan: You're the one who wants to be here, it's only fair.
Casey: (Deep sigh) I kind of thought he was an asshole, but he could get away with it because... look at those eyes.
Ethan: That's not really appropriate.
Casey: I'll take that under advisement.
Ethan: I thought she was beautiful.
Casey: (Shocked) And that's appropriate? I'm not complaining, but...
Ethan: I was referring to the asshole part.
Casey: Oh. Well, that still stands.
What is your coworker's most used swear word?
Ethan: She curses like a sailor.
Casey: Oh, NOW you jump right in.
Ethan: It's true. I don't think she has a favorite. I think she has a rolling list, and she chooses different words on different days so that the other word's feelings don't get hurt.
Casey: You're fucking exaggerating..... but not wrong.
Ethan: See.
Casey: I'm from Philly, if you don't know how to curse appropriately by a certain age, you're shunned. I was never shunned. OK, Ramsey?
Ethan: (Pinches bridge of his nose) I already need a drink.
Quick: What color are their eyes?
Ethan/Casey: Blue (in unison, instantaneously)
(Look at each other and smile)
Three people at work your coworker hates?
Casey: Can I tell you three he likes? It will be easier. Naveen, Harper, Me. Period.
Ethan: You think so?
Casey: Prove me wrong.
Ethan: No comment.
Casey: What about me.
Ethan: Landry.
Casey: (looks uncomfortable)
Ethan: *whispers* I'm sorry (brushes his hand on her knee)
What is your coworker’s strangest or most endearing quirk?
Ethan: Her need for the most repulsive sugary snacks during times of high stress. Be it Chuckles gum or gummy worms or some other abomination.
Casey: You're judging me?
Ethan: Yes.
Casey: What do you grab during those times?
(He doesn't answer, she raises her brows)
Casey: Sorry, Chuckles gum is a lot cheaper than your Macallan 25.
Ethan: So what would you grab to alleviate stress if you had no limitations?
Casey: (she looks into his eyes and smiles)
If they had a crush on anyone at work, who would that be?
(Silence lingers)
Ethan: I'd say Lah.... (he sees her bite her lip and turn her eyes downward and he stops speaking)
Ethan: (softly) Next question, please.
Never have I Ever:
Ethan: We're seriously doing this?
Casey: Yes, we are.
Ethan: SOBER. You want me to do this sober?
Casey: Would you like me to see what is on tap in the on-call room if that is helpful.
Ethan: No. Fine. I guess our water will do.
Casey: For now.
come into work hungover
(Both Drink)
Casey: I mean, being an intern is sort of feeling like you're perpetually hungover anyway. I don't exactly make a habit of it.
Ethan: MM HMM
had a fistfight
(Ethan Drinks)
Casey: Want to share with the class?
Ethan: No.
Casey: I'll wait until we do this with scotch.
been kicked out of a bar
(Both Drink)
Ethan: (smirking) Most recent incident?
Casey: Earlier this year. A bar in Sommerville.
Ethan: Which of your cohorts were involved.
Casey: (Looking directly at him) Lahela.
Ethan: (Displeased) Of course.
Casey: Do you want to know the rest.
Ethan: No.
gotten a tattoo
(Neither Drink)
Ethan: Really, I will admit, I'm a bit shocked.
Casey: Disappointed?
Ethan: I said shocked.
Casey: I would get one. But he'd have to be worth it.
Ethan: (chokes on water)
broken someone’s heart
Ethan drinks. Casey doesn't.
Ethan: Yes, you have.
Casey: Never intentionally.
been in love
Casey drinks. Ethan doesn't.
Casey: Yes, you have.
Ethan: Never intentionally.
For Casey (Ethan is not there)
Where do you see him in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)
Professionally, for Ethan, it's all about the mission. Helping those who have no place else to go means more to him than any title, fame, or monetary success. He has nothing to prove, so he will be wherever he feels he can make the biggest impact.
I don't worry about him professionally, but I do worry about him personally. I am afraid he'll just be alone, and honestly, it breaks my heart.
What do you find the most impressive about him?
I could just repeat my last answer. He cares about his patients and he cares about medicine. He could be a celebrity doctor, he could be pursuing more high-profile/lucrative career options, but that's not who he is. With the exception of Dr. Banjerji, I've never met anyone else like him.
Last thing he texted you?
You're ok with me keeping the picture there, right?
(She thinks of his wallet falling at her feet in his car, and seeing a photo of them from Miami within it. She smiles.)
If he asked you out on a date, what would you say?
(She sighs) I'd make sure he didn't have a temperature. Then I'd ask what took him so long. Then I would say yes before he changed his mind.
For Ethan (MC is not there)
Where do you see her in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)
Casey is one of the brightest medical minds I have seen in my career. Coupled with her dedication to her patients and compassion, the sky is the limit for her. My only hope is she doesn't allow her personal life to become a barrier to her professional success.
(He hesitates.)
But. I hope she finds a way to balance having a personal life too. I know that's what she wants.
What specifically do you find attractive about her?
(Swallows deeply and stares)
Everything except the fact that I"m her boss.
Last thing she texted you?
I'm much more than OK with it.
If she asked you out on a date, how would you respond?
I prefer not to answer.

Hello Hello Bree! My weekly dose of sunshine has arrived! 🤗
Sorry this took so long I am literally neck deep in assignments.
Anyways can I just say that these questions were just brilliant!! Book 1 is so close to our hearts and Ethan MC dynamic back in the day was priceless. 😂
Just a fair warning this contains a lot of pinching noses and rolling eyes because that's what book 1 Ethan used to do all the time. So now let the fun begin! 🤩
The setting for this answers is: Post Chap 15, before the ethics trial.
Ethan : Remind me again why I am doing this?
Meera : Because you are unemployed and have a lot of free time, also because I asked nicely? (with puppy eyes)
Ethan (Rolls eyes)
FOR BOTH
When I first saw them, I thought__________
*Both of them wait for each other to answer*
Ethan : You go first, this was your idea.
Meera : Oh boy. Why do I have the feeling you are going to hate me even more after this?
Ethan : I can't hate you more than I did when I first met you.
Meera (expectantly) : So you are saying the hatred for me has declined since then?
Ethan : Just answer the damn question.
Meera : Okay fine. I thought "why is this person being so rude to me? I am still a kid I am still learning. Such an asshole, gotta keep outta his path."
Ethan (looks at her amused) : I thought "ah shit here we go again. A new bunch of nerve wrecking idiotic interns incoming."
Meera (dramatically opens her mouth and places her hands on her chest) : Ouch! Rude!
Ethan (sly grin)
What is your coworker's most used swear word?
Meera : Jesus. Christ. Jesus Christ. He is religious that way. (winks)
Ethan : Very funny Rookie. She on the other hand has an explicit vocabulary in slangs but I think I have heard holy shit, holy cow, holy fuck the most.
Meera (excitedly) : See I am religious too. Also look at us twining in swears.
Quick: What color are their eyes?
Meera (immediately) : Ocean Blue! No, Celestial blue!
Ethan (looks at Meera, surprised)
Meera (suddenly concious) : Blue. Just plain simple blue.
Ethan (thinks for a moment)
Meera (puts a hand over her eyes)
Ethan : What are you doing?
Meera : I won't let you cheat.
Ethan : Cheat? I don't cheat.
Meera : Ofcourse the great Ethan Ramsey doesn't cheat. Then go ahead and ans---
Ethan : Dark brown.
Meera (impressed with him)
Three people at work your coworker hates?
Meera (heaves out a long dramatic sigh) : Ask me whom he doesn't?
Ethan : I tolerate most of them though.
Meera (chuckles) : I think it'll be Dr. Thorne, Dr. Myles and Dr. Hirata. Atleast these are the ones he complains about the most.
Ethan : Hmm. Fair enough. Bose here obviously hates that back stabbing "friend" whose name I'd rather die than learn. And I think Dr. Emery and Dr. Mirani also falls under this list.
Meera : Full point for the first one, but I think Aurora is a good person overall, she has some issues, which we need to work out. And I don't hate Zaid, I just don't like how he is always in a grumpy melancholic mood.
Ethan : Which is very justified of him given that he has to work with the interns the majority of his work hours.
What is your coworker’s strangest or most endearing quirk?
Meera : Easy, pinching the bridge of his nose and rolling his eyes when annoyed, which is all the time by the way.
Ethan : I think adjusting her glasses when it threatens to slip from her nose and forming her lips in a strange way when concentrating.
Bree : I am sorry doctor could you just explain the last part better.
Ethan (rolls his eyes and tries to do his best impression of Meera's pout)
Meera (chuckles) : That's not how it's done, Ethan. This is how it's done (pouts)
Ethan : Yeah same thing.
If they had a crush on anyone at work, who would that be?
Ethan : Crush? What are we? Highschool students? I am not answering that. (prepares to leave)
Meera : I think it might be Dr. Emery.
Ethan (stops short on his way out, turns around and takes a seat again) : Really Rookie? Fine you want to know her crush? It's that scalpel jockey, or that paramedic guy she is so friends with or maybe that other Indian intern roomate she has.
Meera : What! No. They are my friends. What made you think that?
Ethan : What made you think Harper is my crush?
Bree : Okay doctors let's move on to the next round.
Never have I Ever:
come into work hungover
Meera : Nope!
Ethan : Never. We are doctors we might get someone loose their life.
had a fistfight
Meera : Yes.
Ethan (looks at her unbelievingly) : I thought you were the harmless kind.
Meera (smugly) : I am mostly harmless, untill you get on my bad side. What about you?
Ethan : I'll have to say no.
Meera : You punched Nash though.
Ethan : He didn't punch me back, so doesn't count Rookie.
been kicked out of a bar
Meera : Unfortunately yes.
Ethan : Unfortunately yes too.
Meera : What?! The great Ethan Ramsey?
Ethan : Stop calling me that. I am a human afterall and I had some very stupid friends back in med school.
gotten a tattoo
Ethan : No.
Meera : Yes.
Ethan (smirks)
broken someone’s heart
Meera : Not that I know off
Ethan : I am not proud of it but yes.
been in love
Ethan : No.
Meera : Expected. For me it's yes. Maybe it didn't last but I can't say what we had wasn't love.
For Meera (Ethan is not there)
Where do you see him in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)
He thinks he won't practice medicine anymore because he can't solve Naveen's case but I know he won't be able to resist helping people and ofcourse that is what Naveen always wanted. So, professionally, he is doing wonders. Inspiring thousands of hearts, guiding hundreds of young doctors and saving millions of lives. The diagnostic team has becomes globally recognised. He has written another book or two. Maybe won the Lasker Awards.
Personally, I hope he is happy and not lonely. He needs someone by his side. Someone who can tolerate his sarcasm and critisisim. Someone who will put a smile on his face when he wakes up beside her. Maybe he'll have a family, if that someone is really strong-willed. (let's out a dry laugh)
What do you find the most impressive about him?
His passion for what he does. He just lights up and enrapts the entire room when he speaks about medicine. And I just get lost in the sea of passion in his eyes. Also his stubbornness and unwillingness to give up is really impressive.
Last thing he texted you?
I'll show you wait.

He ordered about half a dozen books on Medical Law and Ethics for me.
If he asked you out on a date, what would you say?
(stays silent for a long time)
I don't think so he will. Like the chances are really really thin but trust me if he does I wouldn't dare say no. (colour rises to her cheeks)
But yes that's in a different world. A world in which we don't live. (sighs wistfully)
For Ethan (Meera is not there)
Where do you see her in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)
If she manages to save her lisence she'll be a wonderful doctor. She'll save innumerable lives and be one of the brightest stars in medicine. I am sure she'll secure a spot on the DT and maybe even lead it someday. She'll make me proud. (smiles genuinely)
Personally I hope she'll be with someone who loves her more than anything and that she is with literally anybody else but that scalpel jockey. She'll have a loving caring partner who'll cook her meals when she comes home from a twelve hour shift. She'll have amazing friends especially the ones she has now. They really love her and they didn't think twice before helping her out with Mrs. Martinez's case.
Maybe she'll have a family. A few kids who will also grow up to show a stunning reflection of their mother.
What specifically do you find attractive about her?
Ethan : I can't say attractive but I'll say I like her personality. She has a magnetic one that makes sure to turn heads any time she walks into a room. Also I love that she cares so deeply about people and she is willing to go out of her way to put a smile on these people's face. Like for example Mrs. Martinez.
Bree : So is this "like" or "love"?
Ethan : Did I? Did I just say love? I am so sorry I meant like.
Bree : Could you enlist something physically attractive about her?
Ethan : If I have to. I'd say I love, er... like, like her laughter. It literally brightens the entire room. (blushes)
Last thing she texted you?
"Thank you Ethan"
If she asked you out on a date, how would you respond?
(sighs) I would feel lucky to go on a date with her, but right now in this situation? It's too complicated. I can't jeopardize her career, so it's a no form me, despite my actual feelings.
This was so fun! Thank you once again @jamespotterthefirst

Bree, Thank you so much for this GENIUS round! A trip down the memory lane, when they just began falling for each other, it was such a beautiful and painful time for them as well as for me. I had a blast, and even though these answers are a pure mess, I had way too much fun answering them. Hope you like them too❤️!
The setting for this answers is: A week and a half after Ethan leaves the Hospital. Land(rat)ry and has been exposed, but Ethan doesn't know about that yet. Also, this is pre-chapter 15.
For Both
When I first saw them, I thought__________
Pooja: Who goes first?
(Silence)
Pooja:...Fine. I'll go first. The first time, all I could notice was his Doctor's Coat and the stern expression that he carried. It was my first day, I was running late, I had a patient who had collapsed in front of me. So obviously I was a bundle of nerves. And seeing a very strict attending really did not help. I was freaking out and kept repeating "Concentrate, Pooja, Concentrate" in my head.
Ethan: So when you saw me, you freaked out?
Pooja: Quite obviously so.
(After a pause) What did you think I would have thought? That you were handsome? (winks)
Ethan: (Caught by surprise) I- Uh- That's not...
(Centers himself with a deep breath) That would have been highly inappropriate.
Pooja: (Smiles in Satisfaction) Your turn, Doc. Or maybe, Ex-Doc, Right?
Ethan: (Ignoring her) I thought you were amateur. Better than most interns on their first days but still, slow and confused.
Pooja: And hence can the nickname "Rookie"?
Ethan: Yes, hence Rookie.
What is your coworker's most used swear word?
Ethan: I haven't heard her swear a lot, but the times I have, it's always either "Shit" or "Fuck".
Pooja: For him, it's mostly "Godammit" and on rare occasions, "Fuck". If he uses "Fuck" for an occasion, you know it's serious.
Quick: What color are their eyes?
(In unison, without missing a beat)
Pooja: Ice Blue
Ethan: Amber
(Ethan stares at Pooja, bewildered)
Pooja: What? (With a faux expression of sadness) Are you surprised that my observation skills actually exist?
Ethan: (He seems to regret his expression and tries straightens himself quickly) No, Of Course Not, I do not doubt your skills. (He smiles, but the surprise never leaves his features) It's just that no one ever-
(He looks at her, holding her gaze. They both seem unable look away... Until Ethan breaks eye contact and they concentrate back on the questions)
Three people at work your coworker hates?
Pooja: Can I name three people he doesn't hate? Possibly even that would be a large count.
Ethan: I don't hate anyone.
Pooja: Yaa, I know. You don't care about them enough to even have an opinion about them. Which is even worse than hatred, actually.
Ethan: (Rolls his eyes, but doesn't quite disagree) Dr Sharma and Hatred, on the other hand, is a combination I never have had the opportunity to observe.
Pooja: (A frown appears on her forehead and her jaw clenches tightly. She looks down, trying to control anger coursing through her body)
Ethan: (Looks at her with an eyebrow raised) Am I missing out on something?
Pooja: (Tries her best to keep her voice calm) Nope, nothing.
(Ethan notices that something is wrong, but decides not to push her further)
What is your coworker’s strangest or most endearing quirk?
Ethan: Dr Sharma, has a peculiar habit of always humming a song whenever she is writing or typing something. And every time, it's something different. I don't know about endearing, but it's definitely annoying.
Pooja: Please, you should be grateful that you have a walking, talking Spotify who supplies you with new music ad free and you don't even have to pay for premium.
Ethan: You think that you are hilarious, don't you?
Pooja: Oh, I AM hilarious (Rolls her eyes)
Ethan: (Laughs) You said that with an eye roll.
Pooja: And you laughed. So, Point Proved.
Ethan: (Shakes his head with the smile still on face)
Pooja: As for Dr Ramsey, whenever he has to deal with interns, he pulls out all the sarcasm he has, murmurs "Interns" with an annoyed sigh every time one of them begin to speak, and his intensity of rolling eyes increases by at least ten times. (Turning to Ethan) How did you like my description?
E: (Rolls his eyes) Accurate.
If they had a crush on anyone at work, who would that be?
Ethan: (Scoffs) Crushes... Juvenility at its best.
Pooja: (Opens her mouth to speak)
Ethan: Are you really going to answer the question? Because I am not.
Pooja: You do you and I do I.
(Begins to speak) I think Dr Ramsey has a crush on... (her voice cracks, and a sudden sadness overcome her once happy features. She is unable to complete the sentence and Ethan is unable to look at her)
Ethan: (After a long moment of silence, still not looking at Pooja) Can we please go to the next question?
Never have I Ever:
On the announcement of this round, Pooja brightens up a bit.
Never have I evers have always been one of her favourite games, so there was not a chance in hell she was going to skip the chance of learning about Ethan's secrets.
She turns to Ethan, who's turns to her and raises and eyebrow. His confused face is a precious scene and she cannot help but let out a giggle at it.
Ethan: And what is this now?
Pooja: I was going to ask if you have never watched those celebrity interviews but (she giggles) you and those, don't go together. At all
Ethan: Why would anyone want to answer stupid questions? And Why would someone want to watch them answer those?
Pooja: Because it's fun Dr Terminator. There is fun hidden in stupid things as such.
Ethan: (doesn't speak anything, but gives a small smile while thinking about her words)
Pooja: (takes the smile as a sign) So you are ready.
Ethan: When did I say so?
Pooja: You don't need to word your thoughts for me to know (gives him a smile)
(They hold each other's gaze for a while before Ethan coughs and turn away)
Pooja: (A tinge of sadness in her tone) Okay (coughs) So usually Never have I ever is a drinking game-
Ethan: A drinking game during office hours? (Raises an eyebrow)
Pooja: Says someone who doesn't even work at the office. (She looks at him once before continuing) But we are going to change it up a bit. Sienna, my friend has baked cupcakes today, so I thought why not use them instead? If the answer is yes, they don't get to take a bite from the cupcake. I it's no, then-
Ethan: You get a bite. You will always look for excuses to eat the pastries, won't you?
Pooja: See, you know me well.
(For a while, it seems as if Ethan regrets his statement, but soon he schools his features and any such indication is gone)
come into work hungover
Both Ethan & Pooja sit still, cupcakes intact.
Pooja: (Looks at him, amazed)
Ethan: (Raises an eyebrow)
Pooja: And here I was expecting a sarcastic remark about professionalism.
Ethan: We all have our days, Dr Sharma. Today's yours.
Pooja: It sure is (winks)
had a fistfight
Again, both of them sit still, no one making a move towards their cupcakes.
Pooja: But, it was back in high school, so...
(She moves to take a bite, when)
Ethan: Hey!
Pooja: What?
Ethan: You made the rules but that does not give you an allowance to break the rules.
Pooja: Look at you, getting all competitive over Never have I ever.
Ethan: Absolutely Not. I was just ensuring that the rules are being followed.
Pooja: Suure.
been kicked out of a bar
Both of them take a bite.
Pooja: Finally!
Ethan: (Rolls his eyes while trying to suppress a smile at the site of her getting all excited for a cupcake)
gotten a tattoo
Ethan takes a bite.
Pooja: I think you need to get one.
Ethan: Absolutely not.
Pooja: Don't worry I will let your significant other whenever they arrive, know that they have to make you get one.
(Even if said jokingly, the sentence fills the air with suffocating silence, that is only broken when the next question is asked)
broken someone’s heart
Pooja takes a bite. Ethan looks on.
Pooja: Dr Ramsey?
Ethan: Huh?
Pooja: Aren't you going to take a bite?
Ethan: (after a while) ...No. I am Not.
been in love
(Ethan goes to take a bite, just as...)
Pooja: Dr Ramsey?
Ethan: What is it?
Pooja: Look, I know it's against the rules, but can I pleaseee take a bite from your side?
Ethan: And why would I let you do that?
Pooja: Because A. You know I love cupcakes, B. You are my friend and C. Because I am asking you super sweetly. So, pleeaase? (She looks at him with puppy eyes)
Ethan: (After a momentary pause) ...Fine
Pooja: Thank you Dr Ramsey, You're the best Dr Ramsey-
Ethan: Do you stop or do I have to get a remote to shut you up?
(Pooja laughs, having succeeded in her mission. And before Ethan can stop himself, a smile breaks out on his face as well)
For MC (Ethan is not there)
Where do you see him in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)
Professionally I see him coming back to medicine. Maybe Soon, Maybe Later. But I cannot imagine him living the rest of his life away from medicine. This is where he finds his calm. Amidst complex cases that challenge his genius. I also visualize him working on another book, or assisting WHO with its endeavors.
Personally (She pauses, takes a deep breath, and another, and another) I, uh... see him happy. Most probably not married, but in a relationship full of care and satisfaction. He may even start believing in love (laughs) I can't predict the future, but I hope that he finds someone worthy of him. Someone whom he can love without having to constantly worry of a mishap, without questioning all his principles, without retching a battle in his mind. Someone... who can return his care and affection in ten folds (a tear escapes out of the corner of her eye, but she wipes it off as quickly as she can)
What do you find the most impressive about him?
Impressive about him? Everything. But especially the kind of doctor he is. For someone who's so genius, it is commonly thought that he would look down on others, berate others on the basis of his excellence and his achievements, be arrogant and rude. But, he is an entire opposite.
Humble, caring, compassionate. Yes, maybe he gives interns an earful from time to time, but he never demotivates them. He is a great teacher, one who knows to keep his feelings apart from his work. To him everyone is equal, even if people suspect him of favoritism. His care and concern for his patients, it's an inspiration for me.
Last thing he texted you?
I...haven't really got any recent texts (or replies, she mumbles) from him. The last one he sent was the day we got back from Miami after the medical conference, which says, "Let me know when you get home safe, okay?"
If he asked you out on a date, what would you say?
(A small, humorless laugh) He wouldn't ask me out. Definitely not in this life. I am sure he regrets what happened- (Sighs)
I am too complicated of a case for him to pursue.
But, if, in a hypothetical, like, really hypothetical situation, he did ask me, I would say yes. In a heartbeat, to be exact.
For Ethan (MC is not there)
Where do you see her in five years (both professionally and in her personal life?)
Rookie, I mean Dr Sharma, has impeccable talent. And she has more than proved herself during the time I was at the hospital. If she strives hard, and keeps up her hard work, I am sure she can achieve all she wants to. Maybe even restart the Diagnostics Team as a leader. I know she has a bright career in front of her, and as her mentor, I will help her achieve it in every way I can.
Bree: And personally?
Uh... Happy. She will definitely be happy, with someone who can make her smile her dazzling smile, who can give her the best life she deserves, and stand with her through thick and thin. Someone who doesn't break her heart due to their own... flaws. Someone,
Someone who can love her.
What specifically do you find attractive about her?
Ethan: Attractive? She is my intern, why would you expect me to make a statement as such?
Bree: So you don't think she is attractive?
Ethan: Of course I do. She has a sparkle in her eyes, the passion for medicine evident. The way she smiles when she talks to patients, the way she reassures them, how-
(He stops on his track. Regrets his words. Pinching the bridge of his nose he signals to go onto the next question)
Last thing she texted you?
"You know you can just tell me if you don't want me to text you. It would hurt, but this silence, the feeling of shouting into a void, it hurts more."
(He doesn't expand on it. Just sits for a while, looking at the cell phone, before turning it off and placing it aside)
If she asked you out on a date, how would you respond?
Ethan: She Wouldn't... Not after what I- (he sighs)
Maybe in another life, if I am lucky enough, I would say yes. But now....
It's a risk. And I can say from experience that it would not end well. The harm it may cause, the hurt I may cause...
She doesn't deserve it.
Bree: But there are no more professional complications now that you have quit, Dr Ramsey. Then why do you feel as such?
Ethan: It's about personal complications.

Not Yet Wed Asks
This might be my favourite ask so far cause I live for the Book 1 angst. Thank you so much for sending these!
For Both
When I first saw them, I thought__________
Lana: I actually saw him saw him, after we had dealt with the emergency thoracotomy. I was so excited and honored to have been a part of that life saving procedure. I was actually trembling from the intensity of it. But then Dr. Ramsey here deflated all that with a single comment.
*sits up straight and frowns* You're right. it's pretty amazing you didn't get her killed.
Ethan: *rolls his eyes* Stop being so dramatic, Dr. Stevens. I was merely doing my job of keeping you grounded.
Lana: *smirks* So you admit I was impressive?
Ethan: Yes, for a Rookie.
Lana: *rolls her eyes* Anyway, so I was obviously hurt and enraged and thought he was an entitled arrogant jerk.
Ethan: I am sitting right here, Dr. Stevens. I am still your boss and I can still make your life hell.
Lana: I was just being honest, Dr. Ramsey. Besides, now I know you're not all of that so you definitely won't. *looks at him challengingly* Your turn.
Ethan: First thought about you? My newest most annoying pain-in-the-ass intern.
What is your coworker's most used swear word?
Lana: He obviously says 'Goddammit' a lot but I think I heard him say 'Jesus' a couple of times too. *lowers her voice* Even 'Fuck' on occasions when he thought he was alone.
Ethan: Spying on me seems to be her favourite pastime lately. *shakes his head*
Lana: *giggles*
Ethan: She used to say 'Holy shit' a lot initially but lately she's picked up a new one, 'Bhenchod'. I have no idea what that means though.
Lana: *pales* Damn it Jackie!
Quick: What color are their eyes?
Ethan: Forest green with flecks of gold.
Lana: *looks shocked and moved* I- *breaks off and clears her throat* Wow. How.. observant of you.
Ethan: *blushes furiously* We've been through this before, Rookie. I am a diagnostician, observation is part of the job. Now you.
Lana: *smirking and regaining composure* I mean, his piercing blue eyes are the talk of the town. Everyone at Edenbrook is terrified of his intimidating staredown.
Ethan: Are you?
Lana: No.
Ethan: That checks out.
Three people at work your coworker hates?
Ethan: It's hard to pinpoint three. Dr. Stevens seems to be friendly with everyone. But I've noticed some tension between herself and Dr. Emery.
Lana: Aurora? I don't really hate her but yeah, we don't exactly get along. I can't believe you noticed that.
Ethan: I notice everything.
Lana: Right. Dr. Ramsey hates everyone, especially interns. I'll choose to name three people I'm sure he doesn't hate instead. Dr. Banerji, Dr. Tanaka and chief Dr. Emery.
Ethan: I don't hate you either Rookie.
Lana: *looks surprised* I- that's good to know.
What is your coworker’s strangest or most endearing quirk?
Lana: When he pinches the bridge of his nose, rubs his brows or scratches his chin thoughtfully.
Ethan: She chews on her lips when she's nervous, it's extremely annoying and distracting.
Lana: *blushes and tucks away a strand of hair*
Ethan: Also when she does that, plays with her perfectly-in-place hair absentmindedly.
Lana: *blushes even more and clasps her hands together in front*
Ethan: *smiles, enjoying making her uncomfortable for once* She also gnaws at hangnails, chews on pens and straightens her uncreased skirt unnecessarily.
Lana: *laughs nervously* Only one answer would be sufficient, Dr. Ramsey. You can stop now.
Ethan: *smirks* If you say so.
If they had a crush on anyone at work, who would that be?
Ethan: I am way past the age to have crushes, so you are spared from answering Dr. Stevens.
Lana: But I think-
Ethan: Dr. Stevens likes the scalpel jockey Lahela.
Lana: What?! No. Bryce is just a friend!
Ethan: I saw you come out of a supply closet together once. Don't deny it.
Lana: *glares at him* I hang out with my friends in the supply closet. What do you have to say now?
Ethan: Only that it's unusally outlandish, even for you.
Never have I Ever:
come into work hungover
Lana: *eyes Ethan mischievously*
Ethan: What? I would never.
Lana: Never in your 10 years+ career?
Ethan: Fine. A time or two when I was younger. *drinks*
Lana: *drinks* I thought so.
had a fistfight
*Both drink*
Lana: Is this about the time you *air quotes* 'saved my honor' in Miami?
Ethan: *rolls his eyes at her mockery* That time and the time I punched Nash.
Lana: Only twice huh? And here I was thinking we'd make a boxer out of you yet.
Ethan: And who did you punch?
Lana: Just random drunken guys trying to take liberties on the dance floor. I can protect myself, you know.
been kicked out of a bar
*Both drink*
Lana: *narrows her eyes* Spill.
Ethan: It was in my med school. My best friend and I were-
Lana: You had a best friend?
Ethan: Had. Past tense.
Lana: Ookay. What did you do?
Ethan: We were juggling shot glasses and accidentally broke a couple.
Lana: *doubles over laughing* You can actually juggle?
Ethan: I can. If I wasn't so drunk I never would've dropped them.
Lana: You're full of surprises!
Ethan: What about you?
Lana: Oh the usual. Dancing in a no-dancing bar.
gotten a tattoo
*Nobody drinks*
Ethan: I would've thought you'd definitely have one.
Lana: No. But I want to get one done sometime maybe. Something small and meaningful.
broken someone’s heart
*Lana drinks*
Ethan: *stares at her*
Lana: What? I was 'The heartbreaker' in med school. All the boys read my friendliness wrong and got their hearts broken. Not exactly my fault. *shrugs*
Ethan: Makes sense. Especially if you hang out with them in the supply closet.
Lana: Oh my God. Please, Dr. Ramsey. I can do without your judgement!
Ethan: I didn't mean-
Lana: It's okay. I can see why you'd think that. I don't know why I thought you'd be different.
Ethan: But-
Lana: Next question.
been in love
Lana: *angrily* No.
Ethan: *stares at the drink for sometime, then takes it slowly, locking eyes with Lana*
Lana: *looks away*
For MC (Ethan is not there)
Where do you see him in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)
He'll write another book for sure, save many more lives. I'd say he'd become chief of Medicine but I know he hates administration. Five years is a long time though, so who knows?
In his personal life, I hope he lets someone in eventually, someone who can put him back together, someone who'll love him unconditionally and show him that the world isn't as dark as he perceives.
What do you find the most impressive about him?
How humble he is of all his achievements. How patient and loving he is with his patients eventhough he is ruthless with everyone else. He is not only the best doctor I know but also, the best man I've had the privilege of knowing so far.
Last thing he texted you?
"Don't worry about Naveen. He'll back off."
If he asked you out on a date, what would you say?
*giggles frantically* I'd ask him to pinch me cause it can only happen in my dream.
For Ethan (MC is not there)
Where do you see her in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)
A very accomplished doctor, regardless of whether she's in Edenbrook or elsewhere. She'll help a lot of patients and do a lot of good. She'll far suepass me I'm sure.
On the personal front, I think she'll find someone who actually deserves her and will always take good care of her. *smiles ruefully*
What specifically do you find attractive about her?
I don't- it's inappropriate to.. she's obviously very beautiful but.. *sighs* I suppose.. *pinches the bridge of nose* If I have to pick the utmost attractive thing about her it'll be the kindness in her eyes.
Last thing she texted you?
"I think Dr. Banerji has suspicions about us"
If she asked you out on a date, how would you respond?
She wouldn't. She has far better options than me. If she did, however, I'd have to politely decline. *looks pained* Is this over yet?
Tumblr media
I haven't been getting much free time or feeling very creative lately so these questions really gave me something fun and quick to do. Thank you so much for the opportunity Bree! 🥰❤

Alright, post Book 1 but pre-Ethan fleeing to South America Ethan x Naomi coming right up! I feel like that time would have maximum tension because they’re trying to find their footing again after fucking the souls out of each other’s bodies and sending them into orbit, and lowkey falling in love sleeping together, while maintaining professionalism.

Naomi: I thought “thank God someone else is here!” I was in over my head with that patient, and I didn’t even notice that The Ethan Ramsey was the one assisting me until much later.
Ethan: I thought she had guts. You don’t see too many first day interns that are ready to jump into the fray like she did.
What is your coworker's most used swear word?
Naomi: He says Christ and any iteration of the word damn. Dammit, goddamn, goddammit, you get the gist.
Ethan: She says fuck.
Naomi: You’ve never heard me say that.
Ethan: She says fuck a lot, especially when she’s...*Ethan trails off and catches himself before he finishes that sentence. It’s a moot point all the same because now all he can think about is the young intern in front of him, hands pulling his hair, nails raking down his back, moaning the obscenity into his ear, into his pillows. He awkwardly clears his throat* Just trust me, I’ve heard her say it. Multiple times.
*and now he’s mad at himself*
Quick: What color are their eyes?
Naomi: Blue. They’re kinda hard to miss.
Ethan: Her eyes are brown.
Three people at work your coworker hates?
Naomi: He hates everyone, except for me and Naveen.
Ethan: Except for you? You think pretty highly of yourself, Rookie.
Naomi: Am I wrong? *Ethan doesn’t deny it, instead staying silent and Naomi smirks* Exactly
Ethan: I don’t think she dislikes anyone. I’ve never met a person like her, she makes friends with everyone.
What is your coworker’s strangest or most endearing quirk?
Naomi: He fiddles with his glasses a lot.
Ethan: She’s constantly biting her lip, especially when she’s really focused.
*she’s actually surprised that he picked up on that* Naomi: You notice that?
Ethan: I notice everything...about everything. It’s the nature of the job.
If they had a crush on anyone at work, who would that be?
*they both share an awkward glance before looking away and declining to answer*
Never Have I Ever...
Come into work hungover
Ethan: When I was younger, yes. But now that I’m older, I know my limits.
Naomi: No, because I don’t get hangovers due to my magical hangover cure.
Ethan: That god-awful drink is...surprisingly effective.
*the interviewer asks Ethan to elaborate on the time Naomi gave him whatever her hangover cure is, and he adamantly refuses*
Had a fistfight
Naomi: Yes, but in my defense I was drunk.
Ethan: *snorts* How is that a defense?
Naomi: I’m the daughter of an attorney, I usually try to resolve my issues with my words. But drunk Naomi is a little feistier.
Ethan: You mean you have a level of feistiness that I’ve yet to see?
Naomi: Oh yeah. Anyway, I was in college, I was drunk at a bar, someone spilled a drink on me, and it escalated. I think I broke her nose.
Ethan: An arrest record wasn’t on your file when we hired you.
Naomi: Like I said, I’m the daughter of an attorney, and the granddaughter of a DC judge. That has its perks.
Ethan: Yes, I’ve gotten into a fist fight before. I punched Nash in the face. And before that, i fought my old med school roommate.
Naomi: Ooh, what did he do?
Ethan: That’s not a story I’d ever divulge while sober.
Been kicked out of a bar
Naomi: Yes. Circle back to the previous question.
Ethan: No, because I’m an adult.
Gotten a tattoo
Ethan: Absolutely not
Naomi: I have a tattoo of the Cancer symbol on my left hip. It’s my zodiac sign.
*this stuns Ethan into silence because he’s seen her naked on more than one occasion and been...very well acquainted with the body parts below her waist, and for the life of him cannot remember a tattoo*
Broken someone’s heart
Naomi: No. At least, I don’t think so. I’ve had my heart broken, if that counts.
Ethan: Same as Naomi. I don’t think I have.
*they make a pointed effort to not make eye contact with each other, and Naomi bites down on her lip, letting the silence hang in the air. The alternative would be informing Ethan that he has indeed broken someone’s heart, and that just won’t do.*
Been in love
Naomi: I don’t know. Maybe? I thought I was in love with my med school boyfriend, but now that time has passed, I know that wasn’t love. At least, not the good kind. And there was a near miss after him, but nothing came out of it. The emotions were a lot stronger the second time around though, and i think it’s the closest I’ve come to it this far. I’m a hopeless romantic, so I hope I find it someday.
Ethan: No. Call me a cynic, but I just don’t see love as something that’s feasible and attainable. Putting that much trust and dependency in another person is not realistic.
For Naomi (Ethan is not there)
Where do you see him in five years (both professionally and in his personal life?)
Naomi: I don’t know what’s left for a man like Ethan Ramsey. He’s already done so much in the field of medicine, unless he reinvents the entire wheel and turns it upside down, which I can see him doing. I can see him writing more, publishing more research, and of course winning more awards. If he wasn’t so anti-administration, he could be running this place. Or maybe he’ll start his own non-profit.
Naomi: As far as his personal life, I don’t know. You heard loud and clear that he doesn’t really believe in love. I hope one day he changes his mind or finds a companion, because underneath his extremely prickly exterior, he’s one of the best men I know and he has a heart of gold. He deserves the chance to let someone take care of it for him.
What do you find the most impressive about him?
Naomi: From afar, Ethan seems very larger than life, but I think the most impressive thing about him is his dedication to not just medicine, but his patients. I’ve never seen him not go above and beyond for someone he was treating.
Last thing he texted you?
Naomi: “Please consult Diana in HR regarding your official diagnostic team fellowship application. I know this year has been unorthodox to say the least, but there are still some steps that must be taken before the start of your second year. Thank you.”
Naomi: I’ve never received a text message that long.
If he asked you out on a date, what would you say?
*her cheeks heat up furiously and she pulls her bottom between her teeth before answering, her eyes bright and watery*
Naomi: Am I a total glutton for pain for saying I’d jump at the chance?
For Ethan (Naomi is not there)
Where do you see her in five years (both professionally and in her personal life?)
Ethan: Dr. Valentine has so much potential and she’s going to be one of the greats. She’s going to be running the diagnostics team if she chooses to stay at Edenbrook, and I can’t see Naveen not trying to keep her here. She’s going to win awards, have awards named after her, publish research, lead trials, whatever. I hate to sound banal and cliche, but the sky really is the limit for her. I chose her for a reason, and I plan her helping her reach all of that potential.
Ethan: As for her personal life, I don’t know. Hopefully she finds someone that’s good enough for her.
What specifically do you find attractive about her?
Ethan: A-attractive? *the word comes out in a squeak, but he coughs to cover it up* Why on earth would you assume that I’m attracted to her?
*he goes on a ridiculously long tangent about how inappropriate it is to be attracted to your coworkers, especially your subordinates, and how he would never jeopardize Naomi’s career on something as trivial as attraction, and anyone with an ounce of common sense can tell that he doth protest too much*
Ethan: But if I absolutely had to pick something besides her good looks, it’d be her spirit. She’s warm and empathetic and optimistic, and I’ve never seen someone care as much as she does.
Last thing she texted you?
Ethan: “👍” I sent her a message about her upcoming fellowship and she sent back a thumbs up. Just that. I was a little annoyed.
If she asked you out on a date, how would you respond?
Ethan: As um...flattering as that might be, I would say no. I am an attending, she’s an intern, my soon to be fellow. That is crossing too many ethical lines, lines I refuse to breach.
Ethan: And I would say no because Naomi is...just a good person. And maybe I’m being biased, but I don’t know if anyone will ever be truly worthy of her. But I can say without a shadow of a doubt that she deserves so much better than me or what I could give her.
