A Quick Study

Thank you to @tveitertotwrites for the suggestion: Any pairing, Cooking from this ask. I wanted to explore this with another pairing, too. And, once again, I completely ignored the 100-word thing... who was I trying to kid? lol

Book: Open Heart (Prequel - MC's Med School Years) Pairing: Casey MacTavish (F!MC) x Jessica Phillips (F!OC) Rating: Teen Words: 719 Summary: Casey's a little hangry during their late-night study session, but Jess isn't letting her off the hook. A/N: Participating in @choicesseptemberchallenge2023 Day 5, Notebook @choicesficwriterscreations bisexual awareness week; @choicespride bisexual awareness week.

The tiny apartment was dimly lit, as expected when the clock was nearing one a.m. But Casey had an anatomy exam to prepare for, and sleep was a luxury not afforded to the second-year med school student. As her eyelids became heavy, Jessica went into action. With a flip of a switch, the overhead fluorescent blubs blared, ripping Casey from the soothing haze she had been slipping into.

“Hey!” She protested.

“Hey, nothing!” Jess snapped back. “I’m not staying up with you for my health. We’re here to get you prepped for your exam tomorrow. Now sit up!”

Her commanding voice was a bit intimidating. If medicine didn’t work out for Jess, Casey was confident her girlfriend could have an impressive career as a drill sergeant. Still, she was too familiar with her softer side to take her commands seriously.

“No,” she protested wearily. “I’m too tired.”

Jess let out an exasperated sigh, but one look at Casey’s crooked smile and she was reduced to a marshmallow again.

“How about this,” the doe-eyed redhead smiled. “Answer one more question correctly, and we’ll call it a night.”

“Go for it!”

Jess lifted the notebook and read: “What is the name of the process of division of a somatic cell’s nucleus into two daughter nuclei?”

Casey squirmed before belting out: “Meoisis!”

“No! It’s mitosis! You know that, Case. Meiosis refers to the production of sex cells, not somatic.”

“Well, maybe I have other things on my mind,” Casey teased.

“Yeah,” Jess smirked, “Well, I’m not giving into that until I’m confident you’ll pass. I have a minimum GPA requirement to be my girlfriend, you know.”

“Oh really,” Casey chuckled. “Well, for your information, I wasn’t thinking about that! I was thinking about food! I haven’t eaten since 4:30.”

“Casey! Why didn’t you say something! You know you shouldn’t do that.”

“It wasn’t intentional,” she yawned. “I’ve been too busy.”

“Well, let’s fix that. What can we get you to eat?”

Casey picked up her phone. “There is a pizza place down on 37th that’s open 24/7. I’ll give them a call.”

“Pizza at one a.m.!” Jess scoffed. “I think not.” She headed to the small kitchen with Casey following behind.

“You won’t find anything. I haven’t been grocery shopping.”

“I’m sure there’s something,” Jess said, displeased to find mostly empty cabinets and some unhealthy options in the fridge. “Casey....” she groaned, feeling a little better when she saw a container of steel-cut oats. “Here. You can have this.”

“I could,” Casey blushed, “But... I don’t know how to make them.”

“You don’t know how to make oatmeal?” Jess’s brown eyes bulged. “It’s basically boiling!”

“Yeah, and burning. When I do it, it typically includes burning.”

Unsure if she was more amused or horrified by the reply, Jess brushed Casey’s golden locks aside and kissed her forehead to conceal both.

“I’ll tell you what. I’ll make you oatmeal, and we’ll study a few more questions. Then, we should really get some sleep.”

“All right,” Casey smiled, pulling Jess into a tight hug. “Thank you.”

“But, as soon as you pass this anatomy exam, we’re going grocery shopping, and I’m teaching you how to cook.”

“Jess, when it comes to anatomy, I’m a quick study – but cooking... that’s another animal.”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m dealing with. We’ll start small. Grilled cheese for dinner tomorrow?”

“As long as you don’t mind burnt grilled cheese,” Casey grinned.

“Not on my watch,” Jess chuckled. “You’re lucky you’re so damned cute, MacTavish!”

“I get that a lot,” Casey smiled. “But you’re cute too... I guess you deserve grilled cheese that isn’t burnt for dinner tomorrow. So I’ll do my best.”

“Gee,” Jess rolled her eyes as she plopped the bowl of oatmeal on the table. “How’d I ever get so lucky?”

“We,” Casey smiled.

“We? We what?”

“How did we get so lucky?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Jess blushed. “You’re still answering a few more questions when you’re done. I’m not as easily manipulated as those silly boys you used to date.”

“Oh, I know that,” Casey assured. “And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“Good! Now, what is the name of the process of division of a somatic cell’s nucleus into two daughter nuclei?”

“Mitosis!”

“See,” Jess winked. “You are a quick study!”

CFWC Celebration

Hey, fandom! Two important celebrations take place (or begin) in September: Hispanic Heritage Month and Bisexual Awareness Week.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a U.S.-based event that celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic Americans. Since we're a global community, we don't think this should be limited to the US, but instead be a celebration of Latine people and cultures worldwide.

Bisexual Awareness Week is a global celebration dedicated to the support and acceptance of the bi community. It's a chance to elevate voices, increase visibility, and bring attention to the unique issues faced within the community. Ideally, it also serves as a platform to advocate for bisexual rights.

We feel it's important to celebrate diversity in the Pixelberry Choices fandom, so in addition to our PRIDE celebration each June, we will be supporting other events that highlight inclusion going forward.

To that end, we would like to announce our month-long CFWC celebration...

Event Guidelines:

Between September 15 and October 15, 2023, we encourage our writers and artists to submit creations that celebrate one or both events.

Fics and visual arts can be submitted.

There are no prompts, but your work should reflect one or both of the celebrations.

Please use the tag #hispanic heritage month and/or #bisexuality awareness week on your post, and remember to tag @choicesficwriterscreations.

All works will be notated with a special symbol on the weekly lists, and two separate masterlists will be posted upon event completion.

Everyone who submits will be eligible for a prize that will be randomly selected after October 16th.

If you have any questions, please send us an ask, or you can DM our mods @jerzwriter or @cfwcmod-lucy.

Starlight Halloween Edit

hi hello i am experiencing two extremely gay thoughts

1) Red Velvet are still promoting 🖤🩸Chill Kill💞💋, so as far as I'm concerned, it's still Halloween until they say otherwise

2) I loved my commission prize art from CFWC's Bi Awareness Week event so freaking much that I couldn't resist making a Halloween edit! because i cannot get enough of Luca!!! in a corset!!!!!! (and MJ absolutely nailed it 😭✨)

(bonus Nicole edit this time, bc she and Luca got ready together and I love writing about and celebrating my characters' queer platonic friendships as much as their romantic relationships ❣)

cr. to @korgbelmont and @farizrz for the assets! 🖤

Announcement

As we celebrate Bi Awareness Week, we thought it would be the perfect time to announce that CFWC will now have an ongoing, year-round archive for LGBTQIA fics and artwork. After all, pride is not something that should be limited to one month of the year!

Here is some information about our newest archive.

2024 CFWC LGBTQIA Masterlist

We have created the list retroactive to January 2023 by reviewing our CFWC 2023 Fic of the Week Archive. It was a bit of work, and it would be easy to miss a fic or two. If you have previously submitted a fic to CFWC that meets the criteria and you do not see it on the 2023 CFWC LGBTQIA Masterlist, please message @jerzwriter to have it added.

Going forward, all fics with LGBTQIA characters or addressing issues related to the community will be notated with a symbol on the Fics/Art of the Week lists, and they will be added to the ongoing LGBTQIA archive.

If your header information clearly indicates it is an LGBTQIA character/pairing, we will automatically include your fic/art on the list. However, if it is not clear, it is up to you to let us know you'd like your creation included. Please tag #CFWC LGBTQIA to ensure you're included on the list.

What about characters who are in straight-presenting relationships or are in fics that do not address their identity?

This is a tough question and one on which there is disagreement. For example, one of my main characters is openly bisexual, but her current/life partner is a man. This makes her no less bisexual, but if a fic doesn't address that, should it be included?

In my opinion (and it's solely my opinion), if someone were to read the fic as a stand-alone and not have any knowledge that she is bisexual, it would not go on the list. However, if it is addressed in any way, it should be included. Others I have discussed this with feel differently and believe any queer character should be included, regardless of presentation, in a specific creation.

So, I am going to leave this to the individual. If you wish to have your fic included on the list, please notify @jerzwriter or tag the fic/art with #CFWC LGBTQIA. If a creation is not clearly about an LGBTQIA pairing/character, and I do not receive a message or a tag, the work will not appear on the list.

All standard rules for CFWC postings (found here) still apply.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send an ask. We hope you'll enjoy this new feature. 🏳️‍🌈❤️
