Take Me Out

Trystan Thorne x Carolina Rose

In my HC, Carolina was born & raised in the Bronx, and to her, the New York Yankees are a religion. This commission by the magnificent @/artbyainna was inspired by my fic A Celebration, and since some wanted to know how Carolina behaved at the game, the drabble below the break provides some insight. I hope you enjoy it.

Book: Crimes of Passion (Post Book 1, Pre 2)

Pairing: Trystan Thorne x F!MC

Rating: Teen

Words: 1,011

Summary: When Trystan has the opportunity to see Carolina in her element, he just has to steal her away for a moment alone.

A/N: Participating in @choicesmonthlychallenge from the April Challenge: Just want to be with you, sunset, kiss also participating in @choicesflashfics prompt is bolded below.

~~~~

Carolina couldn’t contain her laughter.   She hadn’t felt this way since she was a teenager, perhaps not even then. The wind whipped through her hair as she clutched Trystan’s hand, willingly running behind him as he circled the stadium’s ramps, exuding such confidence you would have guessed he knew where he was going.

“Trystan!” She yelled breathlessly. “You’ve never been here before! Do you know where you’re going?”

“Yes, down,” he answered matter of factly.

“And why exactly are you going down?”

She collided into his back, nearly toppling them to the floor, when he suddenly stopped and turned to her with a devilish smirk.

“Carolina Rose, if I was going down... you’d know it.”

“You jerk,” she laughed, playfully pounding her fist against his chest. “I swear you act like a teenage boy!”

“It’s part of my charm,” he winked. “Here,” he pointed to the entrance of a relatively empty section of the stadium. “That’s where we’re going!”

“Why? Our seats are better than that, and besides, we left Luke and Ruby behind.”

“Yes, we did,” he acknowledged as he leaned against the concrete partition separating them from the field. “I like them very much... but if I didn’t get you alone for a few minutes... I was afraid that I would die.”

Carolina’s lips twisted, a playful gleam in her eye. “You thought you would die?”

“Absolutely,” he looped his arm around her waist and pulled her near. “Do you see the effect you have on me?”

“Really? So, tell me... what put a healthy man like yourself in critical condition? Was it the way I curse the umpires out every three seconds? Or how I put that old man in his place when he dared to question if Jeter held the team’s post-season hits record?”  

“Neither of those,” he smiled.

“So it was the way I surreptitiously threw peanut shells at the Boston fans passing us?”

“No. Though, I’ll admit, that was impressive.”

“Was it when I jumped up and down like a lunatic when Judge hit a home run?”

“No,” his eyes roamed over her body, momentarily pausing at her chest. “Though I must admit, I rather enjoyed that part.”

“So what was it,” she snuggled under his arm. “What made being alone with me a life or death issue?”

“Seeing you in your element. Watching you be unabashedly yourself without a worry about anything, just Carolina, having the time of her life at a Yankee game. It was enchanting... in a gauche sort of way, but enchanting nevertheless.”

“Really?” she chuckled. “And to think I considered toning it down. I know I can get pretty crazy and I didn’t want to scare you away.”

“Please, I’m from Drakovia. It would take much more than that to frighten me away. Besides, don’t ever change any part of yourself for anyone, especially me. I’m crazy about you just the way you are.”

At a loss for words, Carolina was spared when a roar from the crowd turned their heads back toward the field, or at least Carolina’s head turned. Trystan wanted to be interested in the game, but how? Given the choice of watching a multi-million dollar team play ball or watching her... his answer would always be the same. Carolina…every single time.

He brushed a stray hair behind her ear and marveled over her. He knew this game was important to her, and it linked her to her father, who shared the same passion. Knowing another stadium’s tragic role in her life, he was happy to know she could still enjoy this. She blushed when she caught him staring at her far too seriously.

“What?” She smiled.

“Nothing. I just love seeing you happy. You used to come to games with your father, no?”

“Oh, yes!” She beamed. “Whenever we could! As a teen, he didn’t have the money to come, so he got a job selling popcorn in the stands just to watch them play. By the time I came along, he could spring for tickets, only the cheap seats, but that didn’t matter to me. I have the best memories here. That’s why I always wear his jersey when I come.”

Trystan spun her around and looked at the number 23 on the back of her jersey and the name written above it.

“Mattingly. Was he your father’s favorite?”

“Sure was! Donnie Baseball! Dad was crushed he never got a World Series ring.”

“Is he your favorite player too?”

“Oh, no. I love him, but,” she patted the number 2 on Trystan’s back, “Derek Jeter is my favorite.”

“And why is that?”

“Are you kidding? He’s a legend! Besides...growing up, I had the biggest crush on him... the man was freaking hot.”

“Oh, really?” Trystan simpered. “Now I understand why you gave me his jersey to wear. Although I’m sure I look even more attractive in it.”

“Mmmm, I dunno,” she shook her head playfully. “I’d need you to put on the cap to make a fair assessment, and since you refused....”

“And mess up this hair? My true crowing glory! I think not, Carolina.”

“You’re too much,” she laughed, running her fingers through his impressive mane. “Thank you for bringing me here tonight, Trystan. It means a lot to me. But the sun’s setting, and as much as I adore this time alone with you, we probably should get back to Luke and Ruby. We’re trying to keep us a secret for now, after all.”

“I suppose,” he shrugged, “just one thing before we do.”

“What’s that?”

 Without a word, he pulled her into a lingering, tender kiss, causing them to momentarily forget they were surrounded by thousands of people. Yankee Stadium feels downright desolate when you’re kissing the right person.

“There,” he smiled as he pulled away. “Now I can cross kissing a gorgeous detective at Yankee Stadium off my bucket list.”

“Oh, that was on your bucket list?” she chuckled.

“Don’t judge my bucket list, Carolina. I have my kinks; you have yours.”

~~~~~

I totally HC that they were blissfully unaware that they got caught on the "kiss cam." Luke and Ruby saw it all, and Ruby dropped her popcorn as it happened. With their suspicions confirmed, they had a quick debate over teasing them as soon as they returned or playing stupid. They decided on the latter... for now. 😏

FOLKS. LOOK AT THEM. LOOK HOW AMAZING

Thank you so so so much to @choicesficwriterscreations for hosting an event for 💜 Bisexual Awareness Week 💜, and affording me the chance to win this stunninggg commission by @mydemonsdrivealimo 🖤🧛‍♀️

Ever since I wrote the scene in SICSIG with all the Immortal Desires characters in their Halloween costumes, I've been longing to see it reimagined as fanart, and !!!! Way to make all my dreams come true, oh my god??? (Luca in a corset and horns combo is just pure self care and I will never be able to thank everyone involved in making this happen enough. I want to glue this to my face.)

If this art made you as happy as it did me, and maybe you are looking to get a commission of your own, (afaik) MJ's commissions are still open! Cannot recommend them highly enough, they were awesome to work with!!

Thank you again to CFWC and MJ both, I'm gonna go stare at this nonstop for another 7-10 business days ✨✨✨

Blades of Light and Shadow : Chapter 14

“I trusted you..”

what a plot twist you were

[cariantha]

A Kiss on the Hand (Part 1️⃣)

Book: Open Heart Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Dr. Sawyer Brooks) Rating: General Warning: None Category: Hurt/Comfort; Angsty Fluff Word count: 1.2K Series Summary: After realizing just how much they mean to each other, Ethan and Sawyer express their love through a sweet hand gesture. A/N: Artwork by the incredible @/artbyainna on Instagram. This is a three-part series. Part one is a rewrite of Book 2 Chapter 11 and was inspired by In Case You Didn't Know by Brett Young.

Part One: Soulmates

With his arms encircled around her, Ethan held Sawyer as close as the plastic between them would allow. He felt the pressure of her fingers gripping his, and the press of her lips as she placed a prolonged kiss on the top of his gloved hand. The simple gesture conveying so many words still left unsaid.

With their eyes locked, he wondered if Sawyer noticed what must surely be red, watery eyes staring back at her from inside the plastic helmet. If she had, she didn’t say anything before her eyelids grew heavy and she fell asleep. 

He knew she needed the rest, but as Sawyer slept like the dead, Ethan worried she was halfway there. The wavy lines and flashing numbers on the patient monitor foretold a grim story. 

Updates from the lab had been few and far between, and Ethan knew the saying “no news is good news” did not apply in this situation. Instead, every hour that went by without an update felt like another nail in the coffin. 

Carefully disentangling himself from her limbs, he eased off the bed and tucked the blankets around Sawyer’s feverish body. He placed an oxygen mask over her face, then sat in the chair next to her bed. His thoughts drifted all over the place as he watched the mask fog and defog with each labored breath.

At one point, he wondered whether he was being selfish by choosing to spend these precious and possibly final moments with her. Moments that should be spent with her family, her closest friends. As he sat there pondering his place in her life and how she would introduce him to a stranger, he came to a realization. None of that mattered because Sawyer was his best friend.

She was someone he trusted with his secrets, someone who was always honest with him, someone he could be himself around. Not since Tobias had he been comfortable to laugh and joke and tease. Sawyer had a way of making his burdens feel lighter. Even if he could ignore the romantic feelings, she would always be more than just a mentee, colleague, or teammate.

They had an undeniable connection to one another. Being in the same room as Sawyer felt like home. She was the sweet to his salty. She challenged him, not just in medicine, but in life. In love. Against all odds, she continued to fight for him. For them. 

He hadn't believed in soulmates before, but then again he'd never felt like this before. Maybe she was his soulmate, he thought. Because if he knew anything to be true at that moment, it’s that if Sawyer lost this battle, a part of him would die too. And if there was a chance that it would give her the motivation to keep fighting, he was willing to overcome his fear and admit everything. 

Resolved to do just that, Ethan stood and took a seat on the edge of the bed. Taking her limp hand into his, he swallowed his nerves and began to speak. 

“Sawyer, I … I told you earlier that I regret keeping us apart … but there’s more.” 

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. “There’s more that I’ve been keeping under lock and key.”

“I … I have wanted to say what was on my mind so many times … but I’ve been too scared. Scared that you don’t feel the same. Scared that you do. And I fear if I say it now that it will sound like goodbye … and I …” 

Mouthing the words “I can’t,” Ethan hung his head and choked back a sob.

Steeling himself, he began again. “Rookie, I need for you to know … just in case you don’t … I'm … I’m crazy about you. You. Drive. Me. Crazy,” he punctuated every word. 

“It’s true, you are a colossal pain in the ass … but I confess … I secretly enjoy it,” he tittered, recalling some of his favorite memories. “Very few people challenge me the way you do.” 

Ethan noticed how her eyes moved slowly behind her closed eyelids. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing right now. I can see those wheels turning in that head of yours. You’re already plotting ways to get under my skin,” he squeezed her hand with a smile.

After watching her chest rise and fall for a couple minutes, Ethan inched up the bed and placed her hand over his heart, holding it there with both of his.

Clearing his throat, “You … you’ve had my heart for quite some time now. I’ve tried to pinpoint when exactly you captured it, and I’m not sure. I knew you were someone special after that night in the NICU … and then something changed in Miami,” Ethan dragged his fingers up and down her arm. 

With an amused chuckle, he continued. “I have to confess. My first response to the hotel's mistake with the room reservation was not anger or frustration. Believe it or not, I actually thought to myself, 'That was lucky.'”

“Then when I saw you in that dress-,” he tucked a stray hair behind her ear, “I didn’t think it was possible for you to be any more beautiful. You literally took my breath away and rendered me speechless.” Ethan briefly closed his eyes, recalling the memory. 

Shaking his head in disbelief, “God, I was a fool that night. A fool for pushing you away, and an even bigger fool for thinking I could ever resist you. I don’t think you’ll ever understand how that first kiss did me in, Sawyer.”

Ethan delicately lowered her hand and checked the flashing monitor. Her blood pressure and heart rate had dropped to dangerously low levels.

His plastic suit crackled as he leaned over her body. Hovering over her face, he whispered a final plea.

“I need you to fight, baby,” he uncharacteristically begged. Sniffing back tears, “I need you. I won’t be able to handle it if you leave me.” 

“I’m sorry I wasted so much time,” he apologized again. “If you come back to me, Sawyer, I belong to you. You’ll have all of me.”

Ethan gently lifted the oxygen mask from her face and touched two fingers against her lips. A loving “kiss” right before he whispered, “I love you, Rookie.”

<><><><><><><><><><>

Twenty-four hours after the antidote had been administered, Ethan rushed to Sawyer’s room with the good news. He was almost knocked off his feet, though he was unsure if it was from Sawyer crashing into him, or from the immense wave of relief that washed over him.

Ethan held her close, running his hand up and down her back. With the need to feel her skin under his fingertips, his hand slipped between the ties of her hospital gown. His warm palm melted against her bare back. 

Sawyer wrapped her arms around Ethan’s neck, and standing on her tiptoes, she pulled him down just enough to rest her cheek against his. Her body shook with a quiet sob.  

With his lips at her ear, his heart raced, those three little words teetering on the tip of his tongue. 

Losing his nerve, he choked them back along with his tears, only letting a single teardrop escape. 

As they slowly pulled apart, he took her hand in his and brought it to his mouth. Just as she had the day before, he kissed the top of it. Slowly, three times. One kiss for each word trapped behind his lips. 

A/N2: Parts two and three get a little bumpy.

Part Two: Always Three Times

Part Three: I Know What You Mean

It can be through creating (ie: writing, art, edits, music, etc) or simply just talking about or sharing screenshots of your faves. Just spend six days reminiscing about the parts of Choices that have brought you joy. It's all about you and celebrating your favorite things.

No special rules, just the usual event rules. If you aren't sure what those are just reach out.

Hopeful Hearts Gala

I had this commission of my friend Heath's OTP done by @/artbyainna (IG) for his birthday.

Heath is not on Tumblr (trust me, he would lose his mind over the drama here more than I lose my mind over the drama here, and @coffeeheartaddict2 can attest to that! lol) But we both agree that even if Heath is not on this hellsite, Jonathan should be because he deserves all the love!

So I present to you...

Ethan Ramsey x Jonathan Reese

How freaking gorgeous is this? Ainna is just a goddess amongst us...

CFWC - New Year Announcements!

Hey everyone! Happy 2024! It's the start of the new year and the perfect time to share some news with you!

New Year, New Look!

We've rolled out new banners, PFPs, etc., to welcome the new year. If you notice, the 10 fics in the banner are different from the top 10 of 2023. That's because the banner is updated quarterly. Each quarter, the new top 10 will be reflected in order from first (top left) to tenth (bottom right) place. So these are your top ten for the 4th quarter of 2023. Check back in April to see how your favorites stack up!

Changes to Throwback Thursday

We're throwing the Thursday away... kind of. Effective immediately, you can post your throwback fics or art between Thursday and Sunday. Yep, art will now be included! They will be reblogged as soon as possible, and the masterlist will be posted on Monday. Throwbacks still need to be at least three months old, and you can find more information here. Tag #cfwc throwbacks

CFWC Fic of the Week -> Creation of the Week

Effective immediately, one creation (fic or art) from the prior week's CFWC Fics/Art of the Week List will be selected at random and shared three more times in the week ahead. We do this to help your work get more exposure and all the love it deserves! Remember! To be eligible, you must tag @choicesficwriterscreations in your post! Fics/Art that we find on our own will be shared and included on the weekly list, but they are not eligible to be Creation of the Week. For more information and last year's winners, see here. Tag #cfwc fics of the week #cfwc art of the week

2023 - The Year in Review:

The Top 10 Choices Stories of 2023 based on posts shared on CFWC can be found here. We also thought you might like to see the changes from 2022 and 2023

Open Heart and The Royal Romance remained in the top two spots, but Blades of Light and Shadow moved up one spot to third. There were three new fics, Crimes of Passion (4), Immortal Desires (8), and Bloodbound (10), that made their way to the top 10, but that meant Nightbound, Desire & Decorum and The Nanny Affair fell off. Where will your favorites be in 2024? That's all up to you!

We've got your lists!

Fandom Appreciation

I haven't been around much on this account this week and I have been remiss in acknowledging the week.

I need to thank the people who have tagged me and I will do that this weekend. First I need to acknowledge a few people in the fandom I am grateful for. More to come later.

@openheartfanfics - @utterlyinevitable @liaromancewriter - Dom and Mal, thank you for all that you do to keep Open Heart alive with fics, edits, texts, and art work.

@writer-ish - Kat, I miss you on here, but I know that you are working on new things and I can't wait for more later.

@danijimenezv - Dani, you made me my first art and it's still my header. :)

@genevievemd - Sara, your 101 and 102 smiles. Your ability to post daily is impressive as well as weaving a fic around the edits.

@a-crepusculo - Mia! You are amazing. There is nothing you can't do. You redid our headers at CFWC, you are a wonderful writer who created a great MC, and you are a generous follower and reblogger and cheerleader for the fandom.

@potionsprefect- Alice, I love your wit and your excitement whenever you find a new pic of the lovely Victoria. Thank you for bringing us tic tok Tuesday. I love seeing them all and your dedication in finding interesting ones every week.

@bex-la-get - Hi Becca! I miss new Nat and Ethan fics, but I still love you. 💙

@liaromancewriter - Yes, I mentioned you above. But I want to tell you how much I love Max and Sienna. You know I'm a big Ethan fan (I wouldn't be here if I wasn't) and Tobias fan. But you have taken Sienna and created a match worthy of her.

@jamespotterthefirst - You were the first OH writer I read obsessively when I started to read here. Not saying that your smut had anything to do with it (I'm also not not saying it). ;) You kept MC Monday going for a year, and you still have Thirsty Thursday.

@burnsoslow - Your Drake and Alyssa got me to read the first The Royal Romance. I know that real life has you busy right now, but I love when I see you pop up on my feed.

@angelasscribbles - You write so much! How!?! I admire your ability to keep so many series going.

@storyofmychoices - Dani, I don't think I can name another person who does more for the fandom than you do. You run challenges, are an amazing cheerleader and reblogger of so many books and writers. You maintain a blog that lists current challenges and events. I am in awe. Also, you inspired me to read both Mother of the Year and Save the Date because of how you write those fics. And you are running @choicesfandomappreciation again.

@jerzwriter - Elsa!!!! Sorry. ELSA!!!! I have no idea what to say here. You can make me laugh when I want to cry. You send me pictures of Jesse. I don't think I would want to work on @choicesficwriterscreations with anyone else. I think that you deserve a better co-mod sometimes. I love how you will brainstorm fics with me and listen when I need to talk. And we still need to write our Tobias fic.

I know I have left many deserving people off, but there will be more to come later.
