TEN TIMES HAPPIER

Ethan x Casey, B3Ch2

I loved the scene with Andrew, E x C so much. It was cute seeing Ethan getting so flustered.

I added a little fluffy nothing to this (words: 500)

No warnings, all characters owned by PB.

"What do you wanna do with me, now that we’re alone?"

When Casey entered the office, Ethan had his back to the door, but quickly turned at her words and looked at her a little sheepishly.

"What?"

Grinning, she walked toward him until they were inches apart.

“So, ten times happier, huh?”

A wide smile spread across her face as she saw his flustered expression.

“Stop!”

But she had no intention of stopping, this was too good. She put her hands on his chest and moved even closer.

“Why? I like what I heard.”

Now finally Ethan started to smile and relaxed a little. He put his forehead against hers and whispered.

“But you know it anyway, don’t you?”

“But hearing those words is even better, even if they didn’t come from you.”

He pulled back a little and gently caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. Casey saw regret in his eyes, but also a longing that sent a welcomed shiver down her spine.

“I’m sorry, I should tell you more often how happy you make me.”

For a long moment they just stood there, eyes locked, forgetting the whole world around them. Then suddenly Ethan seemed to realize something.

“Where’s Andrew anyway?”

“Oh, he’s right out in the hall.”

“You just left him there? Casey, you can’t do this to a patient.”

“It’s alright, he’s nice. He understands. But you’re right. Gotta go.”

After a small peck on his lips she turned and was about to leave when Ethan grabbed her hand and pulled her back into a brief, but passionate kiss.

“Do you have any plans for tonight?”

“Yes.” At his disappointed face she smirked and added

“I plan to visit my boyfriend and spend the night with him.”

He then tensed slightly.

"Boyfriend? I'm 37!"

"Then what are you?"

Casey knew she was on dangerous territory now, for they had never addressed that before. But she thoroughly enjoyed the tortured look on his face in search for the right word.

“I am…The thing is…I mean…You could say…” His cheeks were bright red now and he grew more and more uncomfortable. Finally, he just dropped his arms beside him and sighed.

“Okay, boyfriend is quite alright, I guess.”

The grin on her face grew infinitely wider.

“Then I’ll see you tonight, boyfriend!”

Lips close to his ear she added “And I intend to make you more than just ten times happier.”

Softly she brushed her lips across his cheek and, without looking back again, rushed out of the office.

Ethan watched her go, a sparkle in his eyes. Shaking his head, he smiled and whispered to himself.

“I already am.”

For once I chose to leave Edenbrook...

I love it, that they're all so supportive. That's actually quite sweet. (Although the good bye with Ethan is so noncommittal, that's not satisfying)

Now I quickly have to replay this chapter to stay with my Ethan. 😍

Opera👫🎶

I love them both😁. It's so sad that she is dead, I would have liked to see more of her.

Ik she was probably much older than Naveen, but they would have made a great couple, they are so much alike: always in a good humor despite their health problems. And the way they both talk to Ethan is so funny.

You just go on and tell yourself, that you're not endangering patients with your sabotage. And you really think that you should be no 1 in the ranking, that you're better than anyone else!!??!! Dream on!!!🤮

Your own rules don't apply to you, Dr. Ramsey??

Just give up already. Some fights even the best doctors can't win.💕

Ahhh, the sexual tension just by stroking her hand with his thumb...

It's so great how much he trusts her already. Every other intern would have been questioned until the truth is out. But he has faith that she will tell him eventually.

And that she does, at least my MC always tells him the truth. And his reaction is kind and understanding💕

As if he cares about the family. He wouldn't have told them if he did.

Somehow this means so much more to me than Miami...

Miami was exciting and romantic and thrilling. In Miami they had the excitement after the poker game, alcohol, moonlight, the sea breeze and some kind of holiday feeling that just captured them. The heat of the moment and the first hint, that there could be more between them.

But this is on a totally other level, it goes deeper. First their conversation in the lab and now this scene at the opera. They’re both already so taken by the other one that not even his good intentions, his ethics and morals can keep them apart.

This was great!!!!💕💕💕

I hope you have many ideas for more parts to this series, it's so much fun to read.

I loved the Friends reference, one of my favorite shows. And the episodes where they all find out are the best: especially when Joey finds out first ( the look on his face 😁) and then when Phoebe tries to seduce Chandler. Those scenes never get boring.

(I'm so excited about the Friends Reunion)

Words We Never Say

Premise: After the events in Miami, Cassie and Ethan are determined to get their relationship back to a professional footing. If only their hearts would cooperate.

Book: Open Heart

Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Cassie Valentine)

Rating / Category: General. Longing.

Words: 1,070

A/N: Inspired by this weekend’s OPH Book Club replay, this fic is set in Book 1, chapter 11. This is what I hc happens before Cassie and Ethan meet up with Naveen at the start of the chapter.

When Cassie Valentine was six years old, she heard a story that would change her life forever. She and her brother Max were staying with their grandparents in Newport while their parents were on a second honeymoon.

She missed them terribly and had a hard time sleeping those first few days, so her grandmother decided to tell them stories from their family that had been passed down for generations.

They were all about how each person met their soulmate and Cassie loved them. Max, being the boy that he was, thought they were gross and would tease his sister by making fake kissing sounds after they were tucked in for the night.

Cassie didn’t care. Her young, romantic heart wanted what other Valentines before her had no trouble finding.

“When Valentines meet their one true love,” her grandmother would say, “it’s for life.”

MIAMI!!🤗😍🌴🍹

This choice is actually a little ooc for my mc, she wouldn't go crazy like this. But I never can resist taking it bc I love Ethan's reaction so much😀

And here the fun begins.

I love this dialogue so much. There's nothing he can do about it: he can not resist her charm💕

The very first time I played OH I didn’t dare to choose only one room, seemed so inappropriate. Now I’m always torn bc choosing one room is certainly more exciting and there are better scenes (who leaves the bathroom door open while showering just to talk to a colleague???)

But choosing two rooms will be much easier for Casey in the end bc he leaves for good and she is spared the akwardness in the morning (which we do not get but for sure was there)

Doesn’t seem very disappointed to me!!

Why didn’t he ask her this much earlier??

He could have told her in Boston, but surely he was afraid, that she wouldn’t come to Miami at all.

Then he could have told her on the plane, there was enough time. He is a coward. He knew exactly that she would be angry with him for not telling her and that she would draw the wrong conclusions, like she is now. 

He probably thought that it’d be safest to ask her directly at the conference, less chance for her to get away. 

Hey, I know my husband.

Those words will have a place in my heart forever.

It’s a shame that he forgot about them himself a few minutes later.

And here we go: Landrat is starting... It’s hard to watch that she is being treated so unfair.

Random thoughts on book 1 chapter 9

I already feel sorry for Casey bc I know what lies ahead of her. Here she's so happy, but she will change her mind soon:

He feels really chatty today!😂

I wonder if, at that point, it's already hard for him to be so strict with her.

What were his thoughts while viewing her application?

... something special....

....truly great at being my girlfriend...❤

Husband at work😘

Nigel is really disgusting, but nevertheless this is hilarious!

This tiny moment is so sweet.

And it shows once more how great book 1 is, especially compared to bk3. I love the reference to book signing in chapter 1.

I really would have liked to see that picture. A shame that PB didn't give it to us😂

Everybody is jealous. Only Sienna is truly happy for her friend regardless of her own performance. She is such a great character.

Since the act of God isn't happening he now decides to take matters in his own hands by cheating and manipulating.🤮

Random thoughts on book 1 chapter 8

It's gotten awfully quiet here at the book club and I'm late with this myself. I'm so excited about the Miami chapter this weekend, I'm looking forward to reading a lot of posts here.

Lmao, he really is afraid of an honest answer😂

I don't think it is a coincidence, that he can't help the people he loves. He is so used to act focused and rational that the affection for a patient is clouding his judgment.

With every other patient I'm sure he would have insisted on an immediate surgery, but with Dolores he couldn't be that strict.

The same with Naveen: First he agrees to that stupid arrangement, that nobody should know about his condition and he hides him in the hospital. And then the fear of loosing his mentor and father figure just blocks his thoughts and makes it impossible to find a cure.

Elijah and Phoebe are so cute together. It's so sad, that she vanished without any explanation. Just another storyline PB totally forgot about.

After that I was surprised about the following dialogue:

At least one of the few things PB did right in bk3. I forgot that Elijah wanted to do research from the very beginning. At least for him it's not so bad that Bloom took over.

In general I don't like Jackie that much (I know I'm probably alone with that opinion🤷‍♀️)

But right here I love her guts to just tell Sienna straight to the face what she thinks. It's hard for Sienna but she needs to hear this.

They just can't keep their hands off each other. I love those little intimate moments that show that they become closer and that the trust between them is growing.

I'm pretty sure that Harper still has some feelings for Ethan. The way she kissed him on the cheek in one of the first chapters and now, how she is watching the two of them.

And I think that might have an impact on her acting during the hearing against mc later.

I'm a little late for this and I'm not done with ch8 yet, so I just split this in half.

Ethan at his best. 😀💕

And with the children comment he just forced all the old man jokes that will come later🤗

You know how these things happen !!??!!

Sure, I always bring my pet tarantula to work. 😂😂

The flirting option is cute, but he's just so funny in this one.

Why is this so hot???

They have a thing for their hands.

I love the slow burn.

The bed hair talk really turned him on.🙈

The whole coffee shop scene is so sweet and cute, I could read it over and over again. All the dialogues of bk1 are so well done.

ExMC are so relaxed in this scene, they enjoy each other's company and are having so much fun.

The cutest patient ever. He could be Bryce's brother.

I always tell him the truth. Of course he is upset in the beginning, but his reaction on the next day is so great, the way he handles his fate is just remarkable.

[liaromancewriter]

Final thoughts on chapter 8. Ethan’s praise and his trust is everything.

In one earlier replay, I told the Roomies it was Banerji. When you do that, this scene changes in that MC feels guilt for betraying his trust.

[casey-v]

I chose it once bc I was curious, but never again. I can't betray him like this.

[starrystarrytrouble]

Do you think Naveen talks to Ethan about mc?

Mentor (Ethan x MC)

Three times Naveen spoke to Ethan about MC. 

Words: 600 words, no warnings.

Book 1: right after MC gets a place on the Diagnostics team

“What the hell is going on? Why is there a Junior Fellow on the team?”

Ethan followed Naveen down the corridor, his brisk steps pounding against the hospital floor.

“You don’t think Dr Valentine has proved herself?”

“No, it’s not that. It’s…”

A smug smile crept over Naveen as he stopped outside his office and for a second, the frustration pulsing through Ethan’s veins was replaced by a vague sense of calm. Here was his mentor, against the odds healthy and recovered, standing in front of him causing trouble. 

“It’s perplexing Ethan, I announce that I’m now Chief and I’m handing the team over to you yet your first concern is Dr Valentine.”

“It’s not what you think.” Ethan’s firmest voice was drowned out by a knowing chuckle.

“It’s exactly what I think. But, you’ll work it out.” ***

Book 2: morning after the gala

“Stop.”

With the briefest flash of blue eyes, Naveen was halted as he stood at the door of the Diagnostic’s Office.

“That’s a fine way to greet your mentor, Ethan.”

The attending shifted casually in his seat, rolling up his crisp shirt sleeves slowly as he paused typing.

“If you’re going to say the words rumour, gala, kiss, or Eve then leave now.”

Naveen suppressed a chuckle at Ethan’s feigned annoyance.

“I wasn’t going to say any of that.”

“Fine. Come in then.”

Pulling up a chair, Ethan looked down horrified at the look of utter mischief on Naveen’s face.

“I was merely going to say I’d heard some excellent gossip from Harper that you’d been fraternising with Dr Valentine in front of the whole hospital last night. I’m sorry I missed it.”

Ethan’s groaned, defeated.

“But if I’m mistaken…” said Naveen with a twinkle.

“You’re not.”

“Well as the Chief of the hospital I came to drop off the HR employee guidelines to you.”

“What?”

For a second Ethan took the bait before catching Naveen’s broad grin.

“And to tell you that there’s no rules about employee relationships.”

He dropped a folder on Ethan’s desk before walking to the door, the air of cheerful glee surrounding him impossible to miss.

“Oh and Ethan?”

“What?”

“I’m happy for you.”

Book 3: at Ines’ wedding

Moonlight drifted over the flowers adorning the venue. Ines and her new bride were dancing in the distance but Ethan’s eyes were glued to the dark-haired troublemaker who was currently attempting to feed Bryce cake amidst her giggles.

“You can say it”

There was a faint smirk on his lips as he turned to Naveen.

“Say what.”

“You know what.”

“Really? After three years?”

The older doctor looked elated as Ethan resisted pinching the bridge of his nose. The ocean rippled in the distance as they stood at the edge of the hall. It was useless fighting this any longer, he thought.

“Get it over with.”

“Then I will. I told you so, Ethan.”

“Feel better now?”

“I could tell, even when she was an intern, the way you were with her was different…”

“Naveen.”

“I’ve known you a long time my friend. It would really take someone special to get through to you. And then when I saw you together... “

“Please stop.”

Naveen laughed warmly, the amusement on Ethan’s face bringing him sheer joy.

“Well perhaps you know better than me how special she is.”

“I do.”

With a final chuckle, Naveen clapped Ethan on the back.

“Get practicing those two words, my friend. It’ll be you next.”

Notes:

*** Naveen says "you'll work it out" thinking Ethan and MC will date in secret. Ethan's galaxy brain thinks: "aMaZoN"

Sorry for turning an ask into a ficlet. If you see a lot of garbage content from me atm it's because I have exams in two weeks and I'm procrastinating ❤️

[casey-v]

Naveen is the best!!! And the ending was brilliant💕💕

I love their dynamic: Ethan always knows what Naveen is about to say, but Naveen says it anyway. He is such a tease. And one of the few people who dares to speak to Ethan like that. He's still his mentor, but more in a personal way.

Good luck with your exams!!😘🍀

Random thoughts on book 1 chapters 5+6

I almost forgot, how wonderful book 1 was, especially compared to OPTY. Every chapter has so many adorable scenes. I saved so many screenshots, I don't know where to begin..

What the hell made me pick Landry when the camera was on MC? I never did this before and was just curious. (I forgot to screenshot his dorky face and his stammering.) I really couldn't bring myself to kiss him. Uggh! Rather missed the option 'punch him'

I always buy the beer helmet just for this reaction. Ethan wouldn't wear one of these in a million years😀

I love when she's acting so bold. And already she gets away with everything. He can never stay mad at her for long.

Well, I couldn't very well introduce you as my future wife, now could I?

I don't know why, but this is one of the most precious dialogues......

...especially because it's followed by this. Their banter is so cute.

He soooo wants her on his team💕

By saying this he proves that he would be indeed a wonderful father bc he cares so much...

Is she disqualified now, or what?😂

So, why did he rank her so low? I'm sure he had the best intentions, that he wants to challenge her and push her. But he also realized that he is already in great danger of favoring her, so he must be particularly strict.

I totally forgot the crappy boyfriend. Danny would have been so much better for Sienna. PB really isn't treating her well, she deserves a happy ending in bk3.💕

I really love my MC in OH. In other choices books the MCs sometimes annoy me and sometimes there are really stupid options to choose from.

But here she is funny, nice to everybody, tough when necessary, brave, ambitious.... (.... and irresistible for certain attendings)💕😊

Thank you, if you've made it so far through all my pointless chatter.

ONE DAY

Book: Open Heart Book 3

Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x Diana Ramirez

Word Count: 750(approx)

Category: Fluff

Warning: None

Summary: Ines and Angie's wedding has opened a flood gate of thoughts in Ethan's mind. (3.11 rewrite)

Weddings and merry gatherings weren’t his scene.

Yet, he had to begrudgingly admit that Hawaii was a pretty picturesque place to get married and maybe that was why he somehow found himself enjoying it.

Delusional.

That’s what he is, completely, utterly, delusional.

He knew as well as anyone else that he was lying to himself. Lying that his tolerance towards the gathering was because of the location and had nothing to do with the woman sitting beside him, sniffling softly after hearing Ines and Angie’s vows…

Of course it had absolutely nothing to do with the way her hand had curled around his, softly stroking his knuckles with her thumb.

It had nothing to do with the way her soft jasmine smell, so characteristically Diana, assaulted his senses.

Or how her laughter was a trilling music that engulfed him, her head resting on his shoulder as she sighed happily.

No it had nothing to do with it, absolutely nothing.

A little more of those lies and he won’t imagine her in a white dress walking down the aisle, towards a new beginning of her life…..of their lives.

--------------------

Admiring the finer things in life was a habit Ethan Ramsey had cultivated over the years.

Be it a glass of costly scotch, a luxury car, a private box at the Opera or the gorgeous golden skyline when it softly kissed the sea, he admired it all.

He also admired the woman who was busy in an animated discussion with the brides. Because she went beyond all luxuries in his life, he didn’t deserve her after everything he had put her through, yet there she was sending that dazzling smile towards him and only him as she made her way towards him.

“Dance with me?”, she asked and soon they are in each other’s embrace, the rest of the world fading away.

For once he imagined, them dancing under different circumstances in a ceremony meant for them, only them and like the fool he is he couldn’t stop a smile from spreading on his face.

“Why are you smiling?”, the sudden question pulls him out of his imaginations.

“I am happy”, he says simply, without pretence.

“Me too”, comes a soft reply.

--------------------

The soft light of her room does nothing to reduce the heavenly beauty of the woman asleep in his arms.

He had woken up to the giddy feeling from their conversation earlier. It was difficult to put into words his feelings for her. Ethan Ramsey was never one for huge declarations of love, his admittance lied in the soft smiles, the little gestures and the hidden touches. But he needed to put things into words, tell her how he felt and to hear back her thoughts was perhaps the most beautiful thing ever.

Once he had thought that marriage was something not meant for him but now he could not think of a future which did not have her books scattered in his apartment, Taylor Swift songs ringing through their kitchen, bed sheets wrapped in the wafts of the jasmine perfume that his brain had so strongly associated with her.

He couldn’t think of a future when she wouldn’t store her clothes in his bag, so as to make space for Kona coffee in her's for their early morning coffee and breakfast before rushing to the hospital.

In every possibility his mind could whip up, she was right there by his side.

------------------

“I heard Zaid is single, maybe he’ll get married next.” Ethan could hear her friends debate…

“We are all ending our residencies this year, who knows, maybe it’ll be one of the doctors from our year?”, Sienna quips, throwing a not so subtle wink towards Ethan and Diana.

“Sienna thinks she’s being subtle, who’ll tell her?”, Di groans beside him.

Despite the feeling of his burning face, Ethan could still feel something stir within him. “Is that a future you can see for yourself? You had said marriage isn’t in the cards for you. ”, Diana asks, suddenly shy.

“With the right person on my side yes, I see that in my future. Do you?”

“I never wanted to dwell in the possibilities, but certain circumstances have changed a lot if things for me, so yes I do”

The smile they shared was a secret, private one, meant for the two of them, it held trust, familiarity and most importantly promise in it.

Promise of something beautiful.

A promise that said―

Great, your back!!! I missed this a lot. The best trashcan you can find on tumblr😘

He sat by himself now, the sand beneath his toes, by dawn’s early light watching the cobalt ocean throw itself relentlessly into the horizon.

The ocean was vast and deep outside their balcony window. The water met the moonlight in ribbons of sapphire and pale yellow.

This was so beautiful. You have a way to describe things that is amazing.

You are right, I missed Ethan at the wedding, so this is a perfect missing piece and great from his POV. I loved the Eve's dropping and the exchange with Tobias.

"He’s the marrying Eve type,” Bryce winked.

So true. The impact she has on him, how she changed his perspective on things is just amazing. They're meant to, that's for sure!💕
