Hey There! I saw this, and I couldn't agree more! Nothing says I love you more than "I'm willing to try this for you." And this works for all kinds of relationships: romance, friends, and family, too.
Would you be able to create something showing this for one of your characters or pairings? It could be a drabble, fic, edit, art - anything at all!
NO PRESSURE AT ALL - only if you want to, but I'd love to see what you could come up with!
Hey there! Thank you for the idea! When I first saw this I knew that I had to write something for Adelaide and Tobias and this is what came to mind.
Blindfold
Series: Open Heart (Post Series)
Paring: Tobias Carrick x F!OC (Adelaide Barnes)
Rating: Explicit - 18+
Word Count: 1286 words
Summary: After an "innocent" game of Never Have I Ever, Tobias and Adelaide try something new.
Based on this prompt: "I'm willing to try this for you"
Tumblr media
It was supposed to be a fun game of Never Have I Ever, they said. There’s not going to be anything involving sexual topics, they said. But when alcohol was added into the mix, both Adelaide and Tobias knew that neither of these things were going to come true. 
“Never have I ever… Blindfolded my partner during sex?” Bryce asked. 
Most of the group had put a finger down. Neither Tobias nor Adelaide had put one down but Bryce, Ethan, Jackie, and Aurora had all put their fingers down.
“WHEN DID YOU BLINDFOLD SOMEONE?” Tobias said, directed towards Ethan.
“None of your business for one. Second, I’m surprised you haven’t Carrick”
“Yeah, I second that.” Jackie said.
“You better watch your next words very carefully there Varna.”
Tobias glared and Jackie held her hands up in defense. The game continued on for another 30 minutes before everyone decided that they should head back to their respective places. Luckily it was warm in Boston and Bryce’s place wasn’t too far from where Tobias and Adelaide's lived so they were able to walk home.
On their way back they decided to stop by their favorite diner to get some food in their bodies to help with the amount of alcohol running through their bodies. The two of them were able to grab a booth by a window and quickly order their food. Neither of them really talked much until the food had arrived and both started digging in. 
“So…” Adelaide started.
“So?”
“You’ve never actually blindfolded someone before during sex?”
“No I haven’t. Have you?”
“No. I was just wondering because it seems like something you would want to do.”
Adelaide took another bite of her burger while Tobias just stayed silent. She stared at him as she chewed and watched the bite of food Tobias took go down hard and watched him grab his water.
“What are you looking at me like that for?”
“Have you ever thought of blindfolding me?”
Tobias choked on his water. He was able to swallow it down before coughing. He gave Adelaide a crazy look while she just rolled her eyes at him. 
“Men. Would it kill you to voice what you want?”
“Something like this might.”
Adelaide sighed. “You know you could have just talked to me about this. Even if you want to do something and I didn’t, I would at least want you to ask first because then at least you know.”
“I know. I know. But this isn’t something that I thought you would be into.” Tobias said before taking another drink of water.
“Well you never know if you don’t ask. Plus now that I know you’ve thought about it, it’s now something I kinda want to try.”
Tobias set his cup down. “Really?”
“Yeah, who knows. It might actually be fun.” 
“You actually want to do this?” Tobias asked as Adelaide nodded. “Ok. Well we’ll have to do it sometime soon.”
The pair just smiled at each other as they finished their food. They quickly paid and made their way home and went to bed.
—--
A couple weeks have gone by to where Adelaide and Tobias are on vacation for their 6 month anniversary in the Maldives. While the two of them planned the trip together, Adelaide had a couple of surprises up her sleeve. 
After lunch on their second day, they had nothing planned for the next few hours until dinner, so they headed back up to their room. Once they were back, Tobias closed the door and turned just as Adelaide pushed him against the door and kissed him hard. He then loosened up and started running his hands through her hair as she started to pull away.
“I’ve got a little surprise for you.”
Tobias smirked as Adelaide gave him a quick peck on the lips before running over to her suitcase and grabbing something out that Tobias couldn’t see and ran to the bathroom. Tobias stood at the door in confusion before going over to the bed and sitting down. A few minutes later, Adelaide opened the door to reveal herself wearing a light blue lingerie set.
Tobias stared at her with his mouth agape as she slowly walked over to him with her hands behind her back. Adelaide then climbed on to his lap and gave him a hard kiss. She pulled away and held out a small box to Tobias.
“What is this?” Tobias asked.
“Open it.”
Adelaide got off of his lap as he started to open the box. Inside was a matching blindfold to her lingerie. Tobias whipped his head towards Adelaide who just smiled at him. He then threw the box onto the ground and quickly got on top of Adelaide, which made her giggle. Tobias then kissed her all over her face and her neck while she started to take off his clothes. Once he was wearing nothing, Adelaide went to grab the blindfold from Tobias, but he stopped her.
“Wait, are you sure you want to do this?”
“Babe, I’m willing to try this for you. Plus I think we could make this fun.”
Tobias nodded and then helped Adelaide put on the blindfold before she laid her back down on the bed. He then slowly began to take off her panties and dropped them onto the floor next to the bed. He then began to kiss up her left leg, making Adelaide’s breath shorten as he got closer to her core.
As Tobias gets as close to her clit without touching, he then smirks and moves down to the bottom of her right leg, making her whimper as he slowly makes his way up her leg. Once he gets closer to her clit again, Tobias inserts two fingers into her while circling and sucking on it. He takes his other hand and starts to massage her breasts before moving his hand to her back and unclasping the bra in one swift motion and quickly pulling it off of her body. 
“Fuck.” Adelaide screamed as Tobias inserted another finger. 
Before she’s able to release, Tobias pulls his fingers out and pulls himself up onto his knees and slowly pushes into her. He starts off slow to allow Adelaide to adjust before thrusting deeper and quicker. He moved his hand back towards her breasts rubbing her nipples with his thumbs, causing Adelaide to moan loudly. 
It wasn’t much longer before the two of them hit their climaxes. Tobias then slowly pulled himself out and collapsed onto the bed. After a minute or so, he got back onto his knees and started to take the blindfold off of Adelaide.
“Let me see those pretty eyes.”
Adelaide laughed until the blindfold was off and she tried to open her eyes but the amount of light hitting her eyes caused her to close them tightly and cover her face with her hands. Tobias laughed and put his face in front of the light and took her hands off of her face. 
Adelaide then slowly opened her eyes back up and the two of them smiled at each other. Tobias placed his hands on both sides of her face and gave Adelaide a deep kiss. After he pulled away, the two of them then adjusted so they were mostly under the covers of the bed.
“So what did you think of that?” Tobias asked.
“It was definitely different. Everything felt a lot stronger but it was good. Maybe something we could do when we’re back home.”
“Well I’m glad.”
Tobias gently grabbed her chin and pulled her in for another kiss. The two of them adjusted again so their bodies were intertwined with each other and they fell asleep.

An Introduction
Book: Open Heart Pairing: Dr. Tobias Carrick x ? (F!OC); Dr. Ethan Ramsey x Dr. Marchia Bisognin (F!MC) Premise: A night at Donahue’s took an unexpected turn. Rating / Category: Teen / Slow Burn; A Side of Fluff Warning(s): None Word Count: 1004 words
A/N: Remember what I said on that taglist clean-up post? Yeah... Inspiration struck and I went with it. Suuuuuper-duper anxious of exploring this new dynamic, but I really do hope that y’all will enjoy this. 🤍
Tumblr media
A cacophony of inharmonious laughter unfurled across Donahue’s tonight. The place was far more crowded than its typical Saturday night, mostly swarmed with regular patrons and other guests, binge drinking after their weekend shift. If Tobias thought that this was a good place to clear his head and get some peace, then Ethan must be right—he was not as bright as he claimed to be.
Maudlin surgical interns were singing their hearts out in front of the jukebox, screaming tunelessly to George Michael’s Careless Whisper, while the other half guffawed at the pitiful sight. Near the pool tables, residents from Edenbrook and Mass Kenmore were commencing their monthly billiards competition, which would somehow always end with them having a dance-off.
Tobias walked through the buzzing throng, the lively spirit thrumming inside his veins. As he settle down in his usual seat near the end of the bar, he came up with a plan to get through the evening. The scheme involves: getting a drink, chugging it in three gulps, getting another alcoholic drink, taking said drink(s) to Ethan and Marchia’s booth, and spending the rest of the night asking them to ‘get a room!’ because they are sickeningly too flirtatious at this point. 
Plain and simple, right?
With a little bit of luck, he raised his hand and caught Reggie, who had swiftly placed his usual scotch in front of him. Days like these made him thankful that he was not an intern anymore; trying to get drunk from sugary shots that would send him straight to the dentist.
“One virgin mojito, please.”
A honeyed, melodious voice parted her away from the rest of the raucous tune that filled the space. She brought the fresh spring air with her—that long awaited, delicate floral scent pouring over him after a long drought. Her elbows hit the sleek wooden surface as she leaned against it.
Driven by primitive instincts, light blue eyes turned its gaze to unveil the unknown figure. He immediately blurted out the only thing he could think of.
“Hey.”
Smooth, Carrick. Real smooth.
“Hi there,” she replied.
Voluminous, lush curls spilled over her caramel skin—greeting him along with her dazzling smile. Warm lights accentuated her red silk dress; the lustrous fabric desperately clutching on to her sculptural form. It was the kind of dress that would catch everyone’s attention and leave them breathless, including himself.
“You new here?”
The young brunette paused a beat to dissect his suspicious question—though it was more likely that she could not hear his inquiry under this god-awful music.
“Perhaps,” she returned, giving a nonchalant shrug. “Is it that obvious?”
The sudden air of mystery thrilled him.
“To the eyes of an observer, yes.”
“An observer, or a creep?”
“A diagnostician, to be exact,” he playfully corrected. His response earned him an intrigued smirk, beautifully painted across her radiant face. “Tobias Carrick, at your service.”
“Hrm,” she grunted vaguely, swinging her head back and forth in acknowledgement. “I’m guessing you work at Edenbrook, then?”
“Yeah, though I’m still relatively new there. Used to work at Mass Kenmore.”
Another beat of pause.
She sipped her drink thoughtfully, before continuing with, “So, I’m also guessing that you were the one that ruined MK’s diagnostics team national ranking, then?”
“Whoa, slow down there. I did not—”
“On top of that, you abandoned your team and jumped ship when you heard Leland Bloom was hiring,” she interjected, her voice thick with coldness. “Impressive leadership skills you got there, champ.”
This time, Tobias was struck senselessly.
There was something angry weighing in her words, an urgency that made her remarks sharp and displeased. Aqua blue orbs stared into her hazel ones, his mind in a haze as he hopelessly tried to figure out who she was, or why she somehow already knew him. His dazed look mirrored his emotions. 
Before he could say his piece, however, she turned to the bar and clutched her drink, ready to leave the poor man hanging.
“Have a good night, Doctor Carrick.”
Words escaped him once more. Standing still, frozen like an ice, he was left with the view of the mysterious woman fading into the crowd of dancing bodies. Burned by his own thoughts, Tobias snapped himself out of this mental obscurity and gulped the rest of his scotch. He let his feet quickly carry him towards Ethan, tucked inside his booth.
“You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” the Chief of Medicine sneered, inspecting his colleague’s demeanor from head to toe.
He plopped himself down to the springy seat. “Actually, I met this girl, and—”
“Ah, your latest victim,” he deadpanned, shooting Tobias with a mischievous grin.
“Ha-ha, very funny, Ramsey. Now, where’s your girl?”
Ethan lifted a brow in question. “Why do you need Marchia?”
“I need her FBI slash detective skills to track her down.”
“Right. That’s not psychopathic at all.”
“Just...” he lowered his head in defeat, entirely too tired to argue with Ethan. “Tell me where she is, please.”
“Chia’s meeting an old friend and bringing her here. She’ll be here any sec— Oh! There she is.”
Ethan waved his hand from their booth, catching Marchia’s attention. She steadily made her way, separating the sea of rowdy horde with her tiny figure, and finally emerged victorious in front of their table.
“Hey, you two! Let me introduce my high-school buddy,” she turned to the direction of the dance floor, signaling her friend to come closer. “She just moved to Boston and got a job at MK as their Head of Diagnostics team!”
The sound of her heels, clicking against the marbled floor, was all to familiar in his ears. In a matter of seconds, the sharp noise stopped in front of them—his heart pounding, ready to burst out of his chest. With herculean strength, Tobias slowly lifted his head to meet his fate.
“Nyla Imani Hassan,” she offered her hand, the tiniest cocky grin on her face. “At your service.”

⚘ the boys next door
sfwish, mdni | tags ; poly!male yanderes x gn reader (no prns used but 'you'), manipulation, yan behavior, slight fetishization of virginity
originally this was just gonna be one character so thank mazzy for convincing me to make him a poly duo instead lmfao. ik i have things to finish but like,,, boys 🫶
not too proud of this one so ill probs revise it or make a part two at a l8r time when im feeling less rusty
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the boys next door were the two that everyone knew of as a pair.
sebastian and tobias grew up together, learned together, played together, and shared absolutely everything practically since they were born. they were what people thought of when the words 'best friends' came to mind.
nothing could or would ever come between the two boys, everyone said.
so it was no shock that when you came in and quite literally got between them — by virtue of moving into the vacancies that separated their homes — their instant mutual attraction to you would do nothing but strengthen the bond between them.
it was odd. any additions to their relationship was unheard of, but...
the boys next door shared everything. you didn't think that'd exclude you, did you?
toby and sebastian were quick to befriend you when you entered their life. you were around their age, practically the only other child in the area at that; but unlike the children at school who they'd turn away from in favor of each other, they readily made you part of their dynamic.
they didn't quite understand the feelings you gave them at first, they were too young to. all they really knew is that they liked being around you, they liked talking about you, and they wanted you to themselves.
when you were young, everything became about you. their favorite games involved them being your loyal knights, or bodyguards, or any other role that involved protecting you from whatever threat their little minds could imagine up.
and when you grew tired of playing the damsel in distress? they were fine with it. whatever you wanted from them, you got. sebastian's gaming console was practically yours with how much he pushed you to play on it. toby would beg his parents to get him any toy he'd seen you show interest in; and he'd always eventually get them for you.
they didn't want you to ever be bored around them. you'd always have a good time on their watch, and they spoiled you relentlessly to the best of their abilities.
you were theirs, now! and you took care of what was yours, no matter what. that's what both of them were taught.
they grew up with you. learned with you. played with you, and of course, they shared you — even as the three of you grew up.
everyone around you saw how much they adored you, too. when asked, the two boys would proclaim how they'd both marry you in the future. it was so cute! no one saw an issue with how they always took up as much time and attention as they could from you. or how you never really seemed to be able to make friends with other kids at your school...
you had your best friends, so it didn't matter. they were all you needed.
the pair grew to love their constant close proximity to you. it ensured that they'd know what was going on in your life at all times as you grew and developed. when you weren't all hanging out together, it wouldn't be unusual for the pair to simply watch your home from their windows, glimpsing into your windows to watch you go about your life.
you were turning into a fine young adult. but you still needed their protection! they both easily surpassed you in size as you all grew up — sebastian in particular, who's height was staggering compared to both you and toby. he liked the edge it gave him, and how intimidating he could be when needed. tobias didn't have that advantage, but everyone liked him enough to respect you as his territory anyway. you were so small and sweet, what if someone saw you the way they did? they couldn't have that, they had no choice but to keep you to themselves.
it felt like you always had at least one of the two at your side at all times. so much so that it felt odd when you were without either of them. sebastian and toby being by your side was as natural as breathing and you grew to never really question their behavior.
they were just making sure you were okay when they insisted on keeping you company when you were home alone. when toby took your first kiss, it was because it only made sense — it should go to someone you trust and care about, right? and when you told the two that you were still a virgin well into adulthood (which they knew, of course), they insisted on being your first.
they knew you better than anyone, they'd know how to make you feel good. and who better to give your virginity to than your best friends?
getting to claim your body, inside and out, was one of the best moments of their lives. no one would ever get to have you the way they did.
no matter what you'd do, where you'd go, you'd always be effected by them in some way — and that's exactly how they wanted it. they'd always be your first best friends, your first boyfriends, your first everything. and you'd always be theirs.
the boys next door would always be entangled in your life. but you wouldn't have it any other way, would you?
they know you better than anyone, after all.

Y/N, after hearing Toby’s backstory : Wow, your family truly is shitty. You should probably get a new one.
Ticci Toby, chuckles sardonically : Yeah, well, that’s impossible.
Y/N : . . .
Y/N : Not really.
Y/N, turned away from facing him : You could… always start a new one with me.
Ticci Toby : . . .

How would Severus react to his s/o joining the Order?
How would Severus react to you joining the Order...
----------------
You were weary about telling him in the first place. Severus' reactions to news was always up in the air. You thought back to the time you told him you wanted a cat, by bringing a cat home. He did not take that news very well. But the news this time wasn't lighthearted like adopting a new furry friend.
You took your time closing up your classroom for the day. Having dinner with Severus was the last thing you wanted to do right now. Lying was not your forte, and lying to Severus was even more difficult. You knew that you would crumble the second he asked you how your day was.
You had nothing left to do in your classroom, so you had no choice, but to make your journey to your shared chambers. You dragged your feet as you turned the corner to the hallway leading to your chambers. You clenched your fist with one hand as you turned the doorknob with the other. The door swung open and you were instantly hit with the scent of roasted chicken. Closing your eyes, you took in the scent.
After changing into your evening clothes, you walked into the kitchen. Severus was standing behind the counter preparing two plates of dinner. He greets you with a smile and a kiss on the forehead before setting the dinner plates on the dining table. The two of you sit on opposite ends of the table. You each relish the silence for a few moments, enjoying the first few bites of dinner.
Severus breaks the silence as you take another bite of food.
“How was your day, love?” He asks. 
You look up from your food and think for a few moments. You clear your throat before speaking.
“It was good.” You begin “We began talking about why muggle’s need electricity today… It was an amusing topic.”
You took another bite of chicken as you thought carefully about your next words. 
“There’s something else I've been wanting to speak to you about, dear.”
“Hm?” Severus’ eyebrow raised.
“I’ve been speaking with Minerva lately…” You took a deep breath “Things are getting scary again… and I think…” 
Severus let you speak. He’s always let you speak. You watched him take a drink of his wine as he let you collect your thoughts. 
“I’m joining the Order, Sev.” 
He swallowed roughly as he looked at you with a confused face. 
“The Order?”
Your breath hitched as you tried to read his expressions to understand how he was feeling. Severus stopped looking at you as millions of thoughts raced through his mind. 
“I’m not going to just stand back when things go to hell, Severus.”
“But do you not understand what position that could put me in, Y/N.”
You were aware of the possible danger that came with joining the Order. Your husband was doing his duty by helping Albus, so why couldn’t you do your part? 
“It’s not that I doubt your strength or your courage.” His hands grip his wine glass. 
The room is silent for a few moments. You watch as his eyes dart across the room as he thinks about what to say next. 
“I walk on shards of glass every day. If Voldemort suspects… If he even hints that my loyalties are divided–” 
“Do you doubt me, Severus?” You interrupt him sharply. 
Severus pauses, his expression changing to one of quick regret as he turns to you, his eyes softening. There’s a moment of silence as he chooses his words carefully. 
“No, Y/N. It’s not you I doubt. My fear… it isn’t of your loyalty or your capability. It’s the thought of you in harm’s way that I cannot bear.”
You search his face, trying to understand the depth of his concern. 
“Severus, I know the risks. But I cannot let fear dictate our actions. We do this together.”
You gripped onto his hand for reassurance. You understood that this decision would most likely have its consequences, but it was a choice you were willing to make. You watched Severus think through his thoughts before finally looking at you. 
Severus finally let out a sigh, the tension easing from his shoulders as he allowed a small, resigned smile to grace his lips– a rare and precious sight. 
“Somehow, you always manage to convince me,” he admits, his voice soft, laced with a mixture of admiration and affection. “Your determination… it’s impossible to argue against.”
He squeezed your hand gently, a silent acknowledgment of the path you’ve chosen.  “Together, then.”

I had an OC a long time ago inspired by a boy in my class and I used the character a lot for role-playing. but I kind of forgot about him over time...then I thought...huh...why not make Eny part of my story?
Tumblr media
meet Eny! Even though it seems like it, he's not in the same friend group as Julius. he's from a "group" of Ocho's friends!
he is a Fankid of the guy from the AWESOME STORE!! Don't ask who his mother iscuz I don't know either and I want to imagine that he just appeared on the world.
He hates Tobias Wilson (actually the WHOLE Wilson family) and doesn't get along with Molly and Rob at all.... He helps Gumball with some things like equipment or steals things for Gumball, but it's all just for money and candy, since he really thinks Gumball is well... stupid and small

My Wattpad account:
I’m slowly but surely transferring all my fics from Wattpad to AO3 so there might still me some which I haven’t uploaded on AO3 yet, like this one for example.
Copia is quite the violent dom in there.
Thank you all for reading my silly little stories! 💓💓💓
Here’s a photo of the man I am definitely not obsessed with 🤥:

Tumblr media
Holiday Cheer 🎄 ❤️ 💚
Prompts: Christmas: @choicesdecember2023, @choicesficwriterscreations, @choicesholidays, @choicesflashfics (holiday prompt, in bold)
Pairing: Bryce x Olivia , Ethan x Merida (@lilyoffandoms), Tobias x Casey (@jerzwriter)
Book: Open Heart
Word Count: >700
Rating/Warnings: general
Synopsis: Olivia, Merida, and Casey decide to decorate the Diagnostic Office.
Tumblr media
The Diagnostic Office buzzed with festive energy as Olivia, Casey, and Merida decorated Ethan's office with holiday cheer. The trio, wearing holiday sweaters and festive headbands, worked diligently, preparing a surprise for their significant others. Boxes of decorations lay scattered across the room. In the center of the space lay a jumbled mess of tangled lights. 
Casey grappled with the relentless knots in the string lights, muttering under her breath. The more of the knots she freed, the more the lights seemed to conspire, weaving her into their tangled web.
Merida offered her assistance, teasing her friend playfully. "Making friends with the lights, Casey? Or are they plotting a holiday takeover?"
"They seem a formidable foe," Olivia chimed in, giggling as she watched Casey try to unravel a particularly tangled section.
"Ugh! I feel like neurosurgery would be easier than this," Casey joked, tediously separating the stubbornly intertwined wires.
Olivia added miniature ornaments to the long strands of garlands strewn around the rooms, her eyes sparkling with joy. "I can't wait to see their faces when they walk in." She clapped her hands enthusiastically, unable to contain her excitement. 
"Finally!" Casey jumped up, pumping her hands in the air in victory. She quickly gathered the lights, placing them in Olivia's arms. "They're all yours!" 
"My pleasure!" Olivia took the lights, holding them up in front of her, deciding on their perfect placement. 
A mischievous spark flickered in Casey's eyes as she caught Merida's attention. "Let's add a little extra surprise." She produced a small sprig of mistletoe from her bag.
Merida's brow arched. "Do you and Tobias really need another reason to be all over each other?"
"Oh, it's not for me," Casey teased, winking toward Merida. "I think we can all agree that a certain diagnostician would benefit from letting loose a little bit." 
"I'm not sure he'll share your sentiment, but I'm willing to risk it. Who knows, maybe we'll see our own Christmas miracle," Merida retorted. 
With stealthy precision, they positioned the mistletoe above the office doorway, chuckling at the playful addition to the festive decor.
The two stood beneath it, making sure it was safely secured, and somewhat out of sight. 
Merida's gaze shifted between the decor and Casey. "If this doesn't get Ethan's attention, I'm sure I could find someone else to take advantage of it with?" 
Casey shrugged coyly, curious by the prospect, "And, perhaps also even if he does!"
As the three friends finished up, the room transformed into a cozy haven adorned with twinkling lights and festive cheer.
Just then, the door swung open, and Bryce, Ethan, and Tobias entered, greeted by the sight of the dazzlingly decorated office. Their eyes widened in surprise and appreciation, well, at least for two of them.
“It looks like Santa threw up in here," Ethan grumbled. 
"It's festive," Tobias quickly defended, admiring the decorations. "You gotta lighten up, Scrooge."
"I wish someone would decorate the O.R. like this," Bryce added gleefully.
"You do realize that none of this is sterile," Ethan interrupted. “So unless you plan to risk your patients lives, you do not wish someone to decorate the O.R.”
"Ignore him," Bryce wrapped his arms around Olivia, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "It's beautiful." 
Ethan sighed, rubbing the space between his brows. He was truly outnumbered. He always was, but sometimes he had Olivia on his side. Not this time. “...It can stay," he mumbled reluctantly.
"It really wasn't an option," Casey smirked. 
Ethan stepped further into his office, but his movements were halted.
"Not so fast—" Merida sauntered forward, pressing Ethan back under the doorway once more. "I believe you owe me a kiss." 
"That's a juvenile tradition," he protested.
"Are you refusing? You know that's bad luck."
"You know I don't believe in luck."
Merida shook her head; she wanted to scold him but this was who he was, and she loved him for it. Her fingers flirted with his tie a moment, before she pulled him down to her, her lips crashing against his.
Their embrace was met by whistles and howls from their friends. The pair ignored them, their lingering kiss enduring.
Casey turned to Tobias, her voice soft, "Merry Christmas." Her lips met his tenderly. 
Olivia leaned further into Bryce, letting the warmth and comfort of his embrace engulf her as she marveled at the beautiful lights and displays surrounding them. 
Their jobs weren't always easy, and sometimes things could seem bleak, but right now, surrounded by their friends and such a cheerful display, everything seemed just right.

Adelaide's Birthday
Series: Open Heart Paring: Tobias Carrick x F!OC (Adelaide Barnes) Word Count: 1236 Summary: It's Adelaide's birthday A/n: Yes today was Adelaide's birthday and I did forget about it until this week and I didn't have any time to write until today so it's most likely very bad as I wrote it in two hours without checking it for errors. Anyways, enjoy.
Tumblr media
Both Tobias and Adelaide always slept in whenever they could, which means that they usually woke up together each morning. So when Adelaide woke up to the other side of the bed empty, she knew something was up. She quickly threw on one of Tobias’ long sleeve dress shirts and went to go find him. 
Waiting outside the door of the bedroom was Luna. She was laying down and wagging her tail as she waited for Adelaide to come out of the bedroom. When she opened the door, Luna perked up and started painting, waiting to be pet, which made Adelaide laugh.
“What? Do you want some scratches?” Adelaide said in a higher pitched voice.
She knelt down to pet Luna for a few minutes before standing back up to go find Tobias, Luna following right behind her. She decided to go into the kitchen to find him first and was right as Tobias was over at the stove flipping different foods in multiple pans. 
She stood at the entrance of the kitchen and cleared her throat, which made Tobias turn to face her. The two of them smiled and Tobias turned towards her with his arms out. Adelaide quickly walked towards him and they wrapped their arms around each other before he lifted her off of the ground and she wrapped her legs around him. She then took her hands and placed them on the sides of Tobias’ face and kissed him hard, making Luna bark.
“Good morning.” Tobias said.
“Good morning. Whatcha doing?”
“Well I am trying to make the birthday girl breakfast.”
“Well don’t let me stop you.” Adelaide said as she got down and went to get a glass of water before sitting down at the island watching Tobias finish making breakfast.
Once he was done, Tobias plated food for the both of them and brought it over to Adelaide. The two of them smiled at each other before leaning in for a kiss. Tobias brought his hand under her chin and deepened the kiss before breaking away and turning towards the food to eat.
A little while after everything from breakfast was cleaned up, Adelaide and Tobias cuddled on the couch and watched tv. Tobias had a hand in her hair, twirling it around in his fingers. Both of them were very comfortable on the couch when there was a knock at the door. Both of them sat up and Adelaide went to open the door.
“Surprise.” Both Claire and Ethan said, holding up some bags in their hands.
“Hi! What are you guys doing here?”
Claire tilted her head and gave Adelaide a playful glare. “Did you really think that I wouldn’t be with you on your birthday?”
The two of them hugged before Adelaide hugged Ethan and Tobias hugged Claire. Then both Claire and Adelaide looked at the two men, who both huffed and then hugged each other, while the two women laughed. 
“Anyways. We have a surprise for you!” Claire said.
Claire handed Adelaide one of the bags in her hand before setting the other bags down next to them. She looked inside to see a green shirt and skirt, as well as high heeled boots with a bunch of silver and multiple shades of green gems on them. She then looked up and saw Claire holding an envelope, which she took and opened to see four tickets to see Six: The Musical on Broadway. 
“Wait really?” Adelaide said smiling.
“Yeah. We figured it would be something special for your birthday.” Ethan chimed in.
“Well thank you.”
“You’re welcome, but since it’s for tonight we should get going. We also booked hotels for the weekend so we should check in and get ready before we have to be there.” Claire said, handing the other bag she had been holding to Tobias.
“That’s why you were packing our bags.” Adelaide said to Tobias who just smiled.
The four of them made their way down to NYC in their separate cars. Both Adelaide and Claire had started doing their makeup on the ride there. Both couples then checked into their hotel rooms and finished getting ready. Adelaide was doing some finishing touches when Tobias came out of the bathroom, dressed in a teal shirt and black jeans that had some teal detailing, as well as black boots that had silver and different shades of teal gems on them. 
“Ooh. I see someone is supposed to be a teal alternate.” Adelaide said, turning towards Tobias as she finished fixing her space buns. 
“Yeah, I figured that this was the best one other than orange.”
“Well I love it” 
The two of them shared a quick kiss before making their way down to the lobby. When the elevator opened, they were greeted by Claire who was wearing a dark blue shirt and pants and wearing the same boots as Adelaide but the green jewels were switched for blue, as well as Ethan who was dressed very similarly to Tobias but he was wearing orange instead of teal. 
“Ooh, I like both the Catherine Parr and Orange Alternate looks.”
“Thank you. I tried to get Ethan to wear either the Pink alternate colors or the Katherine Howard colors but he refused.” Claire said before turning to Ethan.
“Hey, I was willing to do this but I cross the line at wearing pink.”
“That’s fine with me. I’m just so excited to see the show.
“You’ve seen it about 20 times already.” Tobias said.
“Yeah but each time is different like when different people are on or it’s a special show like someone’s final show or it’s close to the holidays.”
The four of them continued to chat in the lobby before heading over to the theater and getting their seats, which were in the first row.
“See another new thing. I haven’t sat in the first row before.” Adelaide said to Tobias, who just rolled his eyes and laughed.
“Yes dear.”
It wasn’t long before the show had started and the four of them had fun. During the megasix both actors playing Catherine of Aragon and Jane Seymour had pointed their mics towards Adelaide and motioned for her to sing the parts. After the show was over she got signatures and photos with the cast, who all wished her a happy birthday. 
Once she was done, the four of them headed back to the hotel and Adelaide and Tobias said goodnight to Claire and Ethan before heading to their hotel room. Once they were inside, Adelaide immediately went to take off her shoes and take down her hair. 
“Sweet Relief.”
Tobias had laughed at what Adelaide had said and went to help Adelaide with her hair and her makeup before getting ready for bed himself. Once the two of them were ready, they climbed into bed and turned off the lights.
“So did you like what we had planned for today.”
“I did but when did you plan all of this?”
“I did it when I was on break. I also had some help from friends from high school when it comes to the outfits but I had Ethan and Claire hold onto them so you couldn’t accidentally find them.”
“Oh. Well thank you. I loved it.”
“Your welcome angel.”
The two of them shared a kiss before settling into bed. The two of them fell asleep quickly as their tiredness overcame them.

Personal Background
Nyla was born in Egypt, but moved with her family to Miami when she was three years old. They stayed there for a year with a close relative, then her father decided to move to Seattle when they have saved enough money
For the first few years of living in the US, their family has struggled financially
Though, despite those struggles, her parents have always prioritized Nyla and her siblings’ education, making sure that they could continue to learn in school
As an immigrant, Nyla was often belittled and bullied by her classmates, especially during elementary school. She was not (yet) fluent in English, so she would often mix up certain words and sentences
Things started to look up when her father was able to open up his own automobile repair shop, which instantly became popular in the neighborhood
However, when she came home one evening, she found her older brother laying on the floor, struggling to breathe. They rushed him to the hospital, but the hospital could not admit him due to lack of insurance. Her family moved him to another hospital, in hopes of him getting admitted and treated first, yet they were also declined in that hospital. As they rush to move him again to another hospital, her brother has passed away.
That specific moment became one of many reasons Nyla decided to be a doctor
Random Facts
Nyla loves swimming, and she got into the regional synchronized swimming squad when she was six years old.
One of her favorite childhood memory is riding the Seattle Great Wheel with her family when they first arrived at Seattle
Her current comfort show is Bridgerton
She always has a book in her bag wherever she goes, just in case she has some free time to read up
She would always bring white roses to her brother’s grave whenever she visits him
She met Marchia in middle school, and slowly became close friends as time flew by. They lost contact when Nyla got her internship at Mayo Clinic, but rekindled her friendship shortly after learning that Marchia became the Head of Diagnostics at Edenbrook
Her high-school superlative was: “Most Ambitious”
She suffers from fear of heights, or commonly known as acrophobia
Once, she bumped into Julia Roberts at the supermarket, and after asking Nyla tons of medical advice, they exchanged phone numbers. She still has her number to this day

so bc we’ve been given the green light on asking for more tobias and sebastian i’m gonna ask: smut for them pls! also would it be a threesome situation or would they prefer to do it separately? do they interact with each other at all or do they focus solely on darling?
(also i’ve asked a few questions about sterling and gene separately, can i be an emoji anon? 🍭 or 🍓, your choice!)
yall dont need a greenlight for the record. idk why many of yall seem to think that 😭 anyway here you go!
nsfw mdni / ageless dni
the boys next door • tobias and sebastian [ nsfw ]
· these two do everything together. that quite literally includes you. their first time and every encounter after that was with you and they refuse to have it any other way. sharing is caring after all, and what could be better than sharing the thing they love the most?
· if one of them is with you and the other is busy, they’ll wait for the other to come back before they really do anything. they'll kiss and touch you and get you all riled up, but you won't get any real satisfaction until the two of them are with you.
· sebastian has far more restraint than toby does. he'll rub you through your clothes and tease you relentlessly, pepper you in kisses, never giving you enough to get off or even really edge you but still enough to get you begging. it's a stark contrast to tobias, who will get as close as he possibly can to actually fucking you without doing so — he'll finger you until you're on the verge of tears and dripping on him and grind his cock on you till you're both at your peak. but neither boy will fuck you without the other being present.
· these two love it when they can both be in you. whether that be dp or spitroasting you, though they have a heavy bias for having you between them — one of the boys being under you, and the other being over you. it’s way more fun when all three of you feel good together! and it's always fun to see what limits your body can handle.
· their focus is mostly on you, but they'd never neglect each other, especially if you're the type to tap out early during sex or the type to not want it at all. if you can't handle the amount of rounds they want to put you through, it isn't uncommon for the pair to get each other off (which they like way more if you're willing to watch). they like to take their time with each other the way they would with you.
· it isn't uncommon for the pair to experiment with one another, trying out things they found online to see if they enjoy it before they try it out with you. they found a lot of their mutual kinks this way. it also isn't uncommon for the pair to start something up knowing you'll walk in on them soon — it's just so fun when you catch them!
· despite all of this, their end goal is still you. they'd much rather fuck you and get off with you. making you feel good with them is what they love the most, and if they'd have to choose between each other and you, they'd choose you every single time.

Love Leaves Scars: The Memories That Haunts
[L.L.S Masterlist] | [Main Masterlist] | [G.H Masterlist]
Warning: none
Pairing: Oc!Reader x Grayson Hawthorne
W.C: 2k
Tumblr media
When I mentioned wanting lunch, ice cream never crossed my mind. Yet here I am, seated in a local ice cream store, eating ice cream with Nash Hawthorne.
The cold spoon rests delicately between my fingers as I idly swirl the melting ice cream before me. I can't bring myself to take even a small bite. The chill in the room should make me shiver, but I am unaffected by the cold.
When we were younger, Nash had a habit of whisking me away for ice cream whenever I'm upset. I think he still does. It should bring me joy. Overwhelming happiness. Reuniting with people you haven't seen for years should elicit elation, especially when they've had a significant impact on your life. But I feel none of that. Maybe I do feel it but choose to ignore it.
"Are you okay? You haven't touched your ice cream," Nash's voice, accompanied by his accent, snaps me out of my trance. "Yeah, I just haven't had lunch yet. I don't want to spoil my appetite," I reason. "Oh, you could have told me," I shake my head, gazing down at the now liquefied ice cream. "It's okay. What's on your mind?" he asks. I hesitate to answer, opening my mouth but failing to produce any words. The cycle continues—open, close, open, close. No words emerge. It wasn't this difficult with Nash before. Before. This is now, the present.
"You seem uncomfortable, don't you?" Is it that obvious? Of course it is. "I'm sorry," I apologize as if my discomfort is my fault. Maybe it is. Nash shakes his head, offering reassurance. "No worries, I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have surprised you like that. A little warning would have been considerate," Even if there had been a warning, it wouldn't have made a difference. I would have disregarded it. I would have ran away, as I always do.
"He visited you, didn't he?" Nash inquires, causing me to raise my head and meet his gaze. "The Hawthornes do love their surprise visits, huh?" I joke and he chuckles. I'm not sure if I should miss the sound of his laughter. Silence envelops us once more. No words exchanged, just the two of us sitting in silence.
Until Nash breaks the silence. "I'm not angry at you for leaving. None of us are," Nash assures me. Lies. "If you think that will persuade me to return, you're making a pathetic attempt," I retort. Nash shakes his head and reaches for my hand, resting on the table, but I swiftly withdraw it before his touch can make contact.
"Please, don't touch me, Nash."
His hand retreats to his side of the table, perhaps realizing that his touch wouldn't offer any solace. Not like it used to. "I didn't mean to bring it up," he says, and I scoff in response. "Then you shouldn't have broached the subject," I reply. The jingle of the shop's doorbell signals someone's arrival or departure. "Verity!" a high-pitched voice calls out, instantly recognizable.
"I received your text— Oh! H-hi! Verity, you could have mentioned you were on a date," Asnid whispers the last part as she sits down beside me. Nash snorts, clearly having overheard her. "He's not a date of mine," I clarify. "Verity is not my type, unfortunately," Nash adds.
"Oh! I'm sorry if I interrupted an important conversation. I just got worried about you, Vers. I thought you were kidnapped," Asnid says. "Knowing Verity, you should be concerned that the kidnapper is the one being held hostage," Nash jokes. Asnid giggles and nods in agreement. "That's true," she concurs.
I observe their interaction, feeling a surge of jealousy rising within me. I suppress it, concealing my emotions. "I believe we haven't been formally introduced. I'm Nash," Nash extends his hand, introducing himself. I watch as Asnid extends her hand and shakes his. "Asnid, Verity's roommate and best friend," best friend. The term evokes unwelcome memories.
"Promise me I'll be your best friend forever?"
"I promise!" A broken promise.
"Nash's grandfather passed away, and I need to go with him for the will's reading," I cut to the chase and inform her. "I'm sorry for your loss, Nash. When are you leaving?" Asnid asks.
"Tomorrow—"
"Today—"
Today? I look at Nash, confused. "Tomorrow would be preferable," I interject, leaving no room for negotiation. This isn't up for negotiation. If he wants me to return home, he must adjust to my conditions. My rules.
"Enough time for both of you to pack your belongings," Nash smiles at Asnid. I feel her hand squeeze mine. Hawthornes always have that effect on women. I know because I was once susceptible to their charming smiles. Not Nash's, though.
"She's not coming with us," I refuse to bring Asnid along. I refuse to witness my best friend interacting with the people who inflicted wounds so deep that three years have not been enough to heal them.
"Ignore her. I'm coming with you guys," I attempt to change her mind, but Asnid glares at me. She rarely gets angry, but when she does, it's quite intimidating. I can only remain silent and watch them negotiate.
I must look like a child whose mother told them to be quiet while she talks to adults. "I'll book the tickets, then," Asnid says. "I'll cover the expenses. It's the least I can do for the trouble," Nash offers.
A few more details are exchanged, but I struggle to recall them. I find myself captivated by a homeless man playing chess with a brunette on the street. I watch as she defeats him in just five moves. He slumps his shoulders in defeat, and his lips move, likely accusing her of cheating or something of the sort.
"Verity, let's go," I turn my head to Asnid. She and Nash are already standing by the door. I grab my backpack and follow them out of the shop. The ride back home is uneventful. Nash falls silent in the backseat, while Asnid drives alongside me.
The only sound is the music playing on the radio. Suddenly, I find myself back at our apartment, in my room. My suitcase is laid out on my bed, with all my belongings scattered around it.
It's a mess. I can't bring myself to pack anything inside the suitcase. I continue to stare at it. Questions run nonstop in my head. Is this the right decision? Returning there? The place I fought so hard to escape, only to come back?
I place clothes inside the suitcase—undergarments, shirts, pants, socks—only to remove them again. Put them in, take them out. Repeat. A heavy sensation in my chest makes it difficult to breathe. My fingers tremble as I hold onto the sweater Asnid gave me for Christmas last year. I shouldn't be affected by returning there. I shouldn't feel like this. It's been three years. Shouldn't three years be enough?
"I already booked the flights," Asnid opens the door but stops her sentence once she sees the state of my room. "Why are you crying?" She asks, wrapping her arms around me. I didn't even notice that I was crying until she pointed it out. I bury my head into her shirt and let myself sob and cry.
"Let it all out, Vers," Her voice is gentle and soft. Her touch is as gentle as her voice. She runs her fingers through my hair, untangling the knots. Minutes later, I finally calm myself down, but Asnid never stops her calming and gentle touches. My breathing starts to regulate back to normal, and I can think properly now. "Are you okay now?" She asks me, and I nod, feeling myself brush against her now wet shirt. "Do you want me to help you pack?" I nod again.
She waits for me to release myself from the hug before helping me pack. While packing, I can sense that she wants to ask me why I was crying but hesitates to do so. "I just remembered something, Asnid. I'm fine," I assure her as I pack my toiletries in the pouch of my suitcase.
I know she doesn't believe it, but she still chooses not to ask anymore. Even after three years of knowing each other, I have never opened up about what happened before we met. I could never bring myself to talk about it. I wasn't protecting her; I was protecting myself. As soon as the clock hits five, we are done. "I'll go make dinner," Asnid kisses my cheek before leaving my room. With my suitcase packed and the plane tickets already taken care of, I have nothing else to do now. I put on my headphones and play music.
The whole night is a complete blur, even the morning at the airport. The only thing I can remember is Asnid and I meeting up with Nash at the airport. Now, all three of us are sitting in business class, courtesy of Nash. Thank you, Nash.
"I bet the people we're going to meet will be big shots. I hope they aren't those mean rich people," Asnid says. Who's telling her that they are? Oh wait, I should be the one to answer that.
"Don't get your hopes up, Asnid," I tell her. "They might be those rich mean people," Asnid sighs in disappointment. After that, Asnid falls asleep. I never really liked airplanes. They aren't exactly comfortable enough to make me sleep or enjoy the flight. So, as much as possible, I never wanted to fly to places in or out of the country.
A few more uncomfortable hours later, we finally arrive in Texas. Nash helps with carrying our suitcases and loading them into the car. "I'm nervous," Asnid announces, her leg shaking. "Calm down," I say, placing my hand on her knee to stop her from shaking.
The car ride is short and quiet. For the first time on the whole trip, I fell asleep in the car. I guess that's why I thought it was quiet and short. "Verity, you need to wake up, we're here," Nash says, shaking me to wake up. I give him a sleepy nod before rubbing my eyes.
I can feel the luggage being unloaded from the trunk. When my body is awake enough, I decide to get out of the car and help with the luggage.
I take my suitcase and one of Asnid's carry-ons and follow Nash inside. The Hawthorne House. Where most of my happiest and worst memories were created. I feel a swirling feeling in my stomach. I hate it. This place makes me remember all the memories I want to forget. Every corner of this place is haunted by memories. From the gates to the rooms. The stairs, the gardens, the portrait, and the ceilings. All haunted by a memory, not even 3 years, could make me forget.
"Home already, Nash?" I hear someone ask. The voice is familiar. I raise my head and see a tall man in front of us. 6'0? 6'2? "Hi, Xan," His face is no longer filled with confusion but with happiness and surprise. "Verity!" He runs towards me and wraps his arms around my small figure. He has to crouch down a bit to reach my small height. "You're taller now," I tell him once he has placed me down on the floor. "And you've shrunk!" He is still cheerful.
"Hey!" I protest and smack him on the arm. "No hugs for me?" I look to the side and see Jameson. I open my arms, and he happily walks over to me and spins me around. "Jamie!"
"What's going on?"
Jameson places me down on the floor. I feel my smile falter when I see who the owner of the voice is. Grayson Hawthorne.
He looks the same. Tall, blonde, with piercing, cold eyes that could make you do whatever he wants you to do. The same eyes I once fell in love with. Maybe still in love with.
"Hi, Gray," I send him a small smile but receive nothing back. Nothing but hatred and anger swirling in his grey eyes. "What are you doing here?"
