Choices MCs (Filipino Edition lol)
《Next》
Finally drew four of my Choices MCs inspired by @cassiopeiacorvus and her wonderfully done OC compilations (how do you have the patience to draw all of em omg)
I'm thinking of doing the same for my Romance Club MCs too (background would be the purple of the homescreen there)
Interested in commissioning me? Click the source! 💗
Evangeline Marie G. (Guzman) Lakandula - Ah yes, my soft, anxious babie with self-worth issues. She comes from a messy background with a horrible father. She was close to her late (paternal) grandparents and had a very complicated relationship with her late mother. One of her relatives shes v close to is her older cousin, Ethan.
She's a college dropout thanks to her father's bad choices and worked the moment she had a chance to.
After her mother passed, that was it for Evangeline. She kinda needed to go away from her dad and his loud voice and other issues. So she left home and Ethan helped her out before he left for a business trip abroad.
He had her go to a house he owned in Laguna where she could live in provided she just do the cleaning in there. She found simple work that she was qualified for and that was her life for the next few years until a certain bachelor party came into her life.
Diwa Kalangitan M. (Masangga) del Rosario - My chaotic good and very protective MC who definitely rabbleroused in the school she works in.
She was raised in a household that follows some precolonial beliefs and traditions. She has a stepfather who's an albularyo and two half-siblings. One is studying in college, the other is still in high school. She has a close relationship to both her parents.
And she is rather happy with her job as a teacher in a private school. Sure she sometimes goes against curriculum to make sure the kids enjoy her lessons. She's a class advisor also so when she found out their math teacher humiliated one of her students, she confronted said teacher.
Her trip to America is really just a birthday trip until the events of the book started. In the end she ends up in a poly relationship with Nik and Cal. (She does end up pointing out to the boys that she'll have to go back to her work and family at least just to properly resign and find work near them and also to assure her family she's safe.)
Maya Chelidonia C. (Caacbay) dela Rosa - The local tired detective who had to move abroad for their own safety. Love them SM.
Maya is the child of Jaime dela Rosa, a cop in the Philippines who does not follow in corrupt practices and tries to do right by the community. He was killed after coincidentally seeing signs of corruption in the force and wanting to expose it.
After their father's death, Maya also followed in his footsteps. On their end, they wanted to try and do some good in their job but ended up experiencing some discrimination in the work force. Enter them finding the same evidence of corruption that their father found as well. This time they managed to expose the corruption but in the end, one of their few friends in the force warned them that they'll have to flee the country due to some v angry officials.
So they fled with their mother and younger sister.
Their sister became a fashion designer. Maya found work as a private detective and the two teamed up to be able to live a decent life. Their sister travels with their mom on fashion shows. They're fine living nearby their maternal uncle with their dog, Spudge. (He's a scaredy cat and a lil crybaby who doesn't like strangers and by that I mean he starts crying when the strangers notice him. It's not out of trauma, he just likes Maya and their fam more than anyone else and is v shy with others. He's also scared of the dark and loud noises.)
Inocencia Honorata G. (Galang) Valenciano - and finally, my love's embarrassing bby. My Rafael Aveiro romancer. Love her sm.
She and her mom, older brother and little sister ran away from their father when they were a kid. Her parents annulled their marriage after a few years.
Her older brother became the youngest lawyer in the country and had a firm in New York seek him out. This led to him helping Inocencia and her sister (who had skipped grades and managed to enter college the same year as Inocencia).
Inocencia is v non-competitive that she chose De La Salle University while her sister went to their grandfather’s alma mater, University of the Philippines. At college, Inocencia got dubbed as SiaSia because of the repeated -cia in her first name and surname.
The two got accepted into Edenbrook when they were gonna start. Inocencia being 27 and her sister being 25. By then, Inocencia still isn't competitive and didn't sign up for the competition for the diagnostics team but her little sister shoved her to try it out.

Gaslight, Chapter 34/48
Rated X | Read it here on AO3
They called him Toloache, for the beautiful but dangerous flower. Those closest to him called him Guapo or Principe. He was preternaturally charming, graced with delicate features that allowed him to fly under the radar, to appear innocent and unassuming right up until the point that he pressed the muzzle of his glock into the side of your neck.
His mother, may she rest in peace, did everything within her power to keep him on the straight and narrow. She put him in sports, enrolled him in a Big Brother program so he would have a healthy male role model, and warned him of the tactics that MS-13 would use to lure him in. But she worked long hours, and the streets of L.A. are a scary place for a skinny half-gringo with no protection. He met an older boy named Rafael with a ragged-edged “13” tattooed on his rib cage, and for the first time in his life he knew how it felt to have a friend. His mother tried to save him from himself, but her life ended on the 405 under the weight of an 18-wheeler, and Rafael’s couch sounded like a much better prospect than foster care. He was thirteen, still just a boy, when he got his age and the name of his new family etched into the skin over his heart. He remembers looking at his own bruised and swollen face in Rafael’s bathroom mirror, smiling so wide that his split lip opened back up and blood ran down his chin. He was one of them, and he always would be. He had a family that could never die. That would never abandon him like his father did.
He stands before the mirror in his own bathroom, in a life that bears no resemblance to the one that belonged to him before he was plucked out of the Twin Towers Jail and made into an honest man. Now that he knows where to look, he can see the faded remnants of the tattoo that was removed from his chest, and recall the origin of a thin scar on his rib cage. Every night he is plagued by nightmares full of the tinny echo of gunfire and the fearful wail of men pleading for their lives. His nose is tinged with the smell of gunpowder and burnt-up crack pipes, and spicy, expensive cologne.
“Daddy, can I have a popsicle?”
He turns to see Abby in the doorway, dressed in pink shorts and a Hello Kitty T-shirt, and he smiles.
“Sure, mijita, go ahead. Thanks for asking,” he says, patting her on the head.
“Are we going to see Mommy soon?” she asks, and Cal feels an ache in his chest.
“I hope so,” he tells her, though he isn’t sure whether they will ever see Dana again.
“I can’t wait to tell her about the mouse in the garage. She’s gonna go like this.”
Abby pulls an exaggerated face of terror, making him laugh.
“You think Mommy is scared of a little mouse?” he challenges her. “Mommy’s pretty brave.”
“It scared me,” Abby admits, looking at the ground.
“Hey,” Cal says, squatting down in front of her. “You can be scared and brave at the same time, did you know that?” Abby shakes her head. “It’s true. I bet Mommy will be very proud to hear about how you helped capture the mouse.”
Abby smiles self-consciously, then wordlessly turns and leaves the room. He goes back to the mirror, looking at the man he’s become. A husband. A father. A provider and protector. A man his mother would have been proud to call her son. He never wants to go back. He doesn’t want to be Toloache, or Guapo, or Principe. He wants to be Cal. He wants to be Daddy.
“Daddy!”
Something about the pitch of Abby’s voice sends him rushing down the stairs. She’s standing in the hallway, staring at the front door with a slowly melting popsicle in her fist.
“What’s wrong?” he asks breathlessly, his heart pumping.
“There’s somebody at the door,” she says. “A man looked in the window.”
Cal’s blood runs cold.
“Go in the living room,” he commands, a little too sharply, and Abby scurries away.
He peeks out the windows that flank the front door, but doesn’t see anyone. Slowly, he turns the knob and opens the door just a crack. Still, there’s no one there. Opening the door all the way, he spots a white envelope tucked under the edge of the doormat. He quickly retrieves it and then closes and locks the door.
“Who is it, Daddy?” he hears Abby call out from the other room.
“Mommy?!” Pete asks hopefully.
“It was nobody, guys,” he tells them. “Don’t worry about it.”
He carefully opens the envelope and pulls out a single sheet of paper.
Cal,
Get on the train at the Henryton Tunnel tomorrow at noon. Bring the children. I have a way out.
With Love,
Dana
His heart pitches up into his throat seeing her delicate, swooping scrawl. She’s been gone five days, and he’s done as she asked. He’s kept the children safe, continued to administer their vitamins, and given only vague, noncommittal answers regarding their mother’s whereabouts. The idea that they may be able to be together again, to be a normal family, makes him feel sick with hope. Even after losing eight years of context, the little sliver of time he spent as her husband was enough to convince him that he’d be willing to do just about anything to hold on to this idyllic life.
He walks into the living room, where Abby and Peter are eating popsicles on the couch—something Dana would not approve of.
“Hey guys, how would you like to see Mommy tomorrow?” he asks, and the children spring to their feet, jumping up and down with excitement. He watches them, a genuine smile on his face for the first time in days.
Toloache. Guapo. Principe. They were willing to fight and kill for money, power, and respect. Cal has only one thing he’d be willing to fight for. His children. His wife. His family.
God help the man who dares to lay a hand on any one of them.

A Herrmann/Halstead Production: Original Characters Cast
Hi! I thought it would be fun to put together a post with all of the people I would cast to play the original characters in my series, A Herrmann/Halstead Production.
Check it out and let me know what you think!
First of all, of course, is Bex! Rebecca "Bex" Herrmann is the main original character. She's the younger half sister of both Christopher Herrmann and Will and Jay Halstead.
Adelaide Kane is who I'd pick to play Bex. I think she looks like she could be related to both Herrmann and the Halsteads. (Bex and Will both got their brown eyes from their individual moms, but it ends up making them look more alike. Bex and Jay both got their freckles from Pat. Bex and Chris got their darker hair, nose shape, and smile from their mom.)
Tumblr media
Chris and Bex.
Tumblr media
Jay, Will, and Bex.
Please also enjoy how cute Mouse and Bex look together:
Tumblr media
It's going to be so good once they get their act together. :D
Next up: Bex's friends from college (and band mates!)
Tumblr media
Kiki Layne as Kira Cole and Stephanie Hsu as Malia Lin. (Kira plays lead guitar in their band and Malia plays keyboard.)
Tumblr media
Anthony Hill as Devon Robertson, Tyler Hoechlin as Sam Kent, and Rafael Silva as Isaac Almeida. (Devon plays drums in the band, Sam is Julie Tay's current patrol partner, and Isaac is running the Mouse/Bex betting board with Shay. I have a fun storyline planned for these three guys and Shay and Tay. :D)
Tumblr media
Sinqua Walls as Ben Vernon and Florence Pugh as Faith Callahan. (Ben acts as manager for the band and Faith plays bass.)
Tumblr media
Madison Iseman as Emery Hughes and Bryce Durfee as Ty Anderson. (Yes, Ty is somewhat older than Emery and the group. She met him once they moved back to Chicago, not while they were at school.)
Next is Bex and her band's new rock band friends: Taggert!
Tumblr media
Matthew Daddario as Beau Taggert. (He is the middle Taggert sibling. He's also the lead guitarist of the band and one of the lead singers.)
[I wanted someone who could pull off being broody, sexy rock star guy, but also be fun and charming and kind of goofy. I think Matthew Daddario fits that bill pretty nicely.]
Tumblr media
Beau and Bex. (Might need to do an AU of this AU where they end up together, lol!)
Tumblr media
Katie McGrath as Patti Taggert. (She is the oldest Taggert sibling and the other lead singer of the band. She also plays guitar. Patti is engaged to Pete.)
Tumblr media
Shelley Hennig as Elle Taggert. (She is the youngest Taggert sibling and she plays drums in the band.)
Tumblr media
Oliver Stark as Pete Nash. (He is Patti's fiancé and he plays bass in the band.)
Next up is the bad guys (thus far):
Tumblr media
Michael Shannon as Vincent Marsconi, aka Vinnie, Finn Whitrock as Cal Anderson and Bill Skarsgård as Robert Forrest aka Ramsay. (But he has lighter hair as Ramsay.)
Last, but not least is Mouse's support group:
Tumblr media
Richard Schiff as Chuck Weiss, Christian Kane as Ed Spencer, and Jason George as Frank Bailey.
Tumblr media
Brianna Baker as Ada Jackson and AJ Cook as Lucy Graham.
Those are all of the major original characters. Might have one or two more crop up and I'll add them here when they appear.
Update #1!
Tumblr media
Meet Richard Madden as AJ Michaels aka the Asshole. Click here for the rundown post of the series if you want to check it out! (Or you can read it on ao3 if you prefer: click here!)
I hope you enjoyed this little tour through the OC cast! My ask box and inbox are always open if you want to say hi/scream about the shows/talk about fic!

What if minnie was born before the divorce and she was there in the scene where Alec tells everyone they’re getting a divorce (aka his cal moment)
I hate this scene but it’s an “ugly scene” and also quite crucial to the plot line. So, adding something or removing something wouldn’t have changed it. Any change would only make it worse, adding fuel to the fire, so to speak. So, let’s see. 
“Why do you want a divorce?” Max asks, pulling at bapak’s nightclothes. “Bapak. We can…We can fix this.”
“My love, I tried,” bapak whispers. “Alec and I went for therapy, and we tried. But-”
“But he gave up,” dad hisses loudly. “He gave up because that’s what he always does.”
“Alexander,” bapak raises a hand. “Please stop talking such bullshit in front of the children before I lose all respect for you. You are scaring them-”
“Stop talking like they are just your kids, Magnus!” dad spits at him. “You wouldn’t even have them if it wasn’t for me.”
There is a moment of quietness. A small void opens between the four of them. Rafael can see it.
Rafael wants to scream into it.
“Bapak?”
The voice is small and confused. Rafael’s heart almost stops.
“Why is bapak crying?” Minerva asks in confusion. 
Rafael turns around and notices that bapak is in fact crying quietly. How come he didn't notice that? 
When did he stop noticing bapak’s tears? When did they become normal?
As always, bapak finds the strength - from god knows where - to put her first. He wipes his tears, climbs out of the bed, and pulls her into his arms. “It’s nothing, my love.”
“I had a bad dream,” Minnie whispers into his shoulder. 
“It’s just a dream,” bapak whispers. “Come. I’ll read you a story. The one with the monkey, hm?”
He walks out of the bedroom with the toddler. But he doesn’t make it out of there. 
“Where do you think you’re going?” dad demands, blocking his path. 
“I’m putting her to bed,” bapak replies calmly. “Get out of my way, Alec.”
“You’re taking her away from me,” dad said quietly, his blue eyes worried. “You’re going to take her from me.”
“Dad,” Rafael sighs and grabs the man. “Let’s get you to your room.”
“No. Fuck. No. What the fuck, Magnus?” the man yells. 
“Stop shouting,” bapak says, clutching Minnie tightly. “You’re scaring her.”
“I’m scaring her?” dad laughs in disbelief. “You’re scaring her, Magnus. You’re scaring all of us!”
Bapak’s face is blank. Dad is right. It is scary. “Let me go, Alec.”
“No,” dad shakes his head. “I won’t let you take her.”
“Alec, I’m just taking her to her bedroom.”
“God knows what you tell her in there!” dad growls. 
“What on earth does that even mean?” bapak demands. 
“You think I don’t know about your secret plans with Rafael?” dad asks him. “You’re probably going to take him and run to London.”
“Rafe,” Max whispers. “What is he talking about?”
“I’m not going anywhere,” Rafael promises. 
But Max doesn’t look convinced. He looks scared. Minnie looks confused. Dad looks furious. Bapak looks done. 
There are fires all around him. Rafael doesn’t know which one to put out first. He considers if he should just let himself burn. 
“I won’t let you take them. You think you can just take the children and fuck off?” dad asks both angry and terrified. 
“Alec-”
“I won’t let you take them!” dad screams out. “You think you get just take your favourites and let me be stuck here with Max?”
Rafael gasps at that. 
Max does too. But it’s softer - and a little broken. 
“Max,” dad sighs and turns around. “Max. I didn’t mean it like that-”
“Fuck you,” Max spits out, all his fears momentarily replaced with anger. “Fuck all of you. Do whatever the fuck you want with your favourites. I’m out of here.”
“Max!” Rafael yells as the boy runs out of the room. He wants to run after him. But not now. Not right away. He turns around. 
Bapak and dad are staring at each other. Minnie seems to have fallen asleep on bapak’s shoulder. Even amidst all of this. It makes Rafael want to smile. Even amidst all of this. 
“I won’t let you take Minerva,” dad whispers.
It’s not a promise. It sounds like a plea. 
“What is that you said, Alec?” bapak asks, clutching the girl even tighter. “You wouldn’t even have her if it wasn’t for me.”
Dad’s eyes widen at that. 
Bapak pushes him away and walks upstairs to Minerva’s room. 
Dad leaves too. Rafael doesn’t know where. 
He’s all alone.

What did each of your MCs and their LIs (if applicable) do for the eclipse?
Baxter usually works as much as possible so either Rafael would make sure they're on a break and outside during the eclipse, or he'd make sure both he and Baxter have the day off to go watch it somewhere nice. Baxter would have had no idea it was going to happen (their ability to not retain information they dont care about is unparalelled) so it would be a very plesant surprise for them, especially since Raf went out of his way to make sure they could see it too
Reigan was also working, and he knew it would happen but not when, but he was lucky to be on the roof of the firm so he caught it then. he carried a pair of eclipse glasses with him all day just in case & was very glad it paid off
i think Trystan went out to see it, but Lorrie was too focused in on their latest case so he was unable to drag em out with him. he took 5000 crappy photos though, blurry and with buildings or his fingers in the way
Eiko had a little mini field trip planned for the school to go see it (i dont think its ever specified where MotY takes place so im saying totality was visible, the field trip was just to like a park or something) so Donna took the day off to be a chaparone so she could see it with her daughter and her gf <3 Rose was SO excited she was talking about it nonstop to everyone
Ezra is on tour in a city closer to the eclipse than where Wes and Simon live in california, and they just happened to be visiting him in time that they all went to a park to see it together
Devi and Noah do not live somewhere the eclipse was very visible, but im still trying to figure out my timeline of things so its possible they could have been on a road trip and caught it? but likely not bc i think theyre both too busy with college. depends on what i decide
for Jake and Cal.......... werewolves + solar eclipse = 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀. they did travel somewhere closer to see it better but ah. they werent looking at it.
Lake/Harper knew it was today. and he was excited to see it. but he got the time wrong for wherever he was and totally missed it bc he had his head in a bog or something
Thomas and Avalon took a little trip to Texas to visit Avalon's family, and they all had a little eclipse viewing party :3 Janey and her wife and the girls were also there of course <3
both Avery and Sadie tried to host an eclipse party at the same time, but bc they both wanted to host it in the park it ended up being a sort of joint party where Sadie keept trying to one up Avery and failing bc Avery is just that much better at things than her. plus also the guest of honor at an eclipse party (ms. The Actual Fucking Moon) overshadowed them both
The NYC Polycule (aka the Perfect Match cast) (+ Nadia and Steve, who are not part of the polycule for Nadia's Cousin Is In It reasons) took a daytrip to the upper part of New York to get a better view then what they would have seen in the city

Sugar Mommy Ch 2
Tumblr media
Warnings: language, minor SVU case talk.
Buy me a ko-fi?
Rita had been at the office working though another clients case, having sent an email for you to go down to the courthouse to pass some paperwork onto Barba for the Carla Gannon case. You’d spent the previous evening talking over the entire case with her, something in your gut told you the charges weren’t right, and it wasn’t just the fact that the defence happened to be your boss. There was something about this case that just didn’t sit right, and while you were waiting for Barba to finish up his testimony prep, everything came to light. You’d only managed to silently sneak into the courtroom he and Amanda were using for prep before the info dropped, your jaw dropping with it, managing to sneak out and leave the paperwork with Carmen before racing back to the office.
“Rita! Sorry, Ms Calhoun!” You nearly dove into her office, chest heaving, “We’re in the clear! Jesus…why is your office not closer to the courthouse? Sorry! It just feels a lot further in heels.” She couldn’t help the small giggle escaping her lips at the way you sucked in a heavy breath.
“You don’t need to apologize so much. Did Barba drop the charges?”
“No. But during their testimony prep Tiana admitted that Bauer was paying her to say that Shakir raped her! That he paid the other girls too, but way more than he paid her. Even if it’s just one out of three that’s a bad pattern, not to mention witness tampering and bribery.”
“Good girl. That law degree really is doing you good.” She smirked, “You overheard this, or did Barba tell you?”
“I don’t think they saw me, the courtroom door was open. I left the paperwork with Carmen, didn’t say anything to her. Oh shit..” Your gaze shot off into nowhere, “What if they try and cover this up? It’ll look like I’m just trying to stand up for your firm.”
“It will.” Rita moved from her desk, her hand squeezing your elbow softly, regaining your attention, “But they won’t try to cover this up. I know Rafael, he’s too good hearted. And if he doesn’t bring it up, I’ll put Tiana on the stand and remind her she’s under oath…or that we can pay more.” You let out a small laugh at that, entirely unsure if the woman was kidding or not. Your breath hitched as her hand trailed up your arm to your neck, “Your collar’s all twisted,” her fingers swiftly fixed it, not missing the way your cheeks flushed. A small smile on her face, “You know you look radiant in blue, you should wear it more often.” She moved back towards the desk, collecting what she would need or the Shakir case,
“Uh..thank you Ms Calhoun.” She smirked as she shouldered her bag.
“You can stop with the Ms Calhoun too, you’re allowed to call me Rita. Now c’mon,” She gestured towards the door with her head.
“What?”
“You’re coming with me to talk to Shakir. You heard the disclosure, I’m sure SVU will send their team in soon but I’d rather talk to him first. And in case you haven’t noticed, you’re my right hand.”
“Yes Ms Cal- Rita.” You corrected yourself, missing the third smirk from her as you followed her out of the office, quickly on the phone with Shakir, meeting him at his building’s gym before Amaro showed up.
Thankfully, Barba had done what was right, what was legal, and despite the other two claims sticking to their accusations, everything got dropped because their stories were the exact same and Tiana admitted to being paid. As it turned out there was a lot more going on in the Bauer household than originally expected, not that that was any of your problem.
You were just starting to pack up your desk when you heard the door to Rita’s office open, your attention still on the filing for a moment before you glanced up.
“You did great today Y/N, like I said, you’d make a great lawyer.”
“Thank you Ms Calhoun.” You flushed at the half glare she gave you return, “Rita..sorry.” Your face scrunched, “It’s an adjustment.”
“Well I think I owe you a drink in order to celebrate.”
“Oh, you don’t have to.”
“I insist. Please” Rita gave you a knowing smile. She knew you’d never say no to her unless she truly crossed a line, and the way your cheeks flushed, your breathing increased, the way you nearly froze when she reached out to touch you, she hadn’t crossed a line. In fact, she knew just how comfortable and accepting of it you were. You didn’t have to say it, she could read you like an open book, and did she ever love it. “It’s Friday, it’s not like you have anywhere to be tomorrow morning.” You laughed softly,
“You’ve got me there.”
“Good.” She shot you a grin as you gathered the last of your things, following her from the building. You ended up at the Top of the Standard, the penthouse lounge atop the Standard Hotel, somewhere you’d only ever dreamed of being before.
Rita ordered a bottle of wine, ensuring you to order whatever food you wanted despite the price, after all, you’d basically won the last case for her.
You reluctantly agreed, still feeling a little out of place, thankful the wine helped you relax, soon joking and laughing over things with your boss. Rita did her best to sensitively ask about your history, she was eager to know more about you, but didn’t want to press the wrong buttons. Thankful when you opened up to her, that your mother had left when you were very young, your Dad being your absolute rock until he got sick. She already admired you for that, but knowing that you were dealing with Harvard, with that level of schooling while you were the only child of a broken home, and your Father was so quick to get diagnosed after your graduation? There was no doubt he’d already been sick while you finished your education.
She felt her heart tighten when you admitted you were nearly certain he’d been sick for months before you graduated, but didn’t want to admit it until he’d seen his baby girl live her dream. You’d only wished he’d stayed alive long enough to see you actually become a lawyer. Her hand reached across the small table, grasping yours in a reassuring squeeze, your eyes met hers in a soft thank you before you changed subjects, and she smiled at the way that your hand didn’t immediately pull away.
Around midnight the server came over to ask about last call, you both denied, asking for the bill. Rita was obviously quick to shoot down you offers to pay, to even cover the tip. Not only had she invited you out, but it was in celebration of you making the close on a case. You could only give her a soft smile and a thank you while she signed the credit card receipt. You felt her hand in the small of your back briefly as you moved to the elevator, once downstairs she turned to you.
“You did a really good job this week sweetheart. I hope to see more of that in the future.”
“Of course.” You couldn’t help but blush as the pet name, whether it was work related or not. Rita gave you a soft smile, your hand a soft squeeze, her head gesturing towards the street.
“That would be your car. Let me know when you get home please.”
“Always.” You shot her a grin, “Thank you…so much.”
“Keep this kind of work up and you’ll get much better dinners than this.” Rita could only feel her heart flutter at the way you giggled, ducking into the car as you said good night.
Goddammit she hadn’t thought you’d be that kind of problem, though there was a lot of territory to cover before that. She wasn’t even one hundred percent sure what your opinions were, sure, it seemed like your heart rate started to race when she complimented you, that your breath hitched whenever she fixed a rumpled piece of clothing, the way your pupils dilated whenever she praised the work you did.
Who was she kidding? She knew exactly what she was doing, and she’d known since you’d joined the firm as a general assistant. The lingering glances, the small jokes, she’d always had a liking towards you, and she’d very much noticed your reaction to all of them. But now, she wanted nothing more than to dive right in, mentally reminding herself to hold back for a little bit until you were on the same page.

Besides their parents, which adults are the children of your pairings closest to?
Oooh this is such an interesting ask! So, I have a lot of pairings so I'll just answer for the ones who come to mind/have kids (obvi). I'm also assuming this is for my Choices pairings but if you meant my RC pairings feel free to ask again!
Chandini x Bryce: They have two kids: Kehlani and Naveen Lahela-Ramakrishnan. Kehlani is definitely closer to Ethan (it's been awhile since I've looked at her OC file but I'm pretty sure I made Lani his goddaughter?) and Jackie, while Naveen is closer to Sienna and Rafael. They're both super close with their Aunt Keiki!
Lyra x Trystan: In the universe where these two end up together, they have twin daughters (Amber Marguerite Thorne and Alice Nayeli Thorne). Both twins are very close with their namesake, Amber and Marguerite, and Alice and Nayeli (CoP MC). But Amber spends a little more time with Lydea and Nayeli specifically because she's interested in learning combat as the next Drakovian heiress. As a whole, Amber is closer to the Thornes and nobility while Alice is closer to the Fae and other Nightbound characters like Nik, Vera, and Cal as the future Queen of the Fae Realm.
"Liam" x Kalyani: For most of her life, she was closest with Sienna and Rafael since they were her parents. But speaking for the TRR characters, Sabrina is closest to Hana and Olivia (who I think I made a couple for some reason?), but she also does spend a lot of time with her fun Uncle Maxwell and her former father-in-law Drake (long story 😭)
I still have some pairings like my TUH, D&D, Kindred, and WTD pairings so I'll link another post because I ran out of space in the tags lol
