i have to say i’m relieved it was beau who stole the win and not gigi or aislinn, we all know that pb has a history of demonising other women characters 😅
me when i got to the end of chapter 7 of open heart 3: THIS BITCH PULLED A MEREDITH GREY?!
oh3 predictions:
• ethan will be all surprised and sorry when/if mc ever mentions how she feels left out with him and harper
• bryce is gonna seriously screw up a surgery, maybe even kill a patient 
• leland will fire ethan and the staff will all quit lmao
• we’ll be forced into this stupid jealousy-petty feud bs with harper bc why allow two smart powerful women to be allies and friends when you can pit them against one another over a man 🙄😒
• pb continues to treat jackie and bryce as meaningless hookups
• raf too in fairness probably
• ethan stans will receive better quality diamond scenes
• leland is gonna go full douche
that’s one ticked off the list!
He fucked up didn't he? This...whew...I knew it was going to happen 🤧
wrong call - open heart 3
post-chapter 5: too late a/n: unbeta'd, unedited. just a quick addition to this weeks chapter.
--
pairing(s): ethan ramsey x mc character(s): mc (avalon summers), ethan ramsey, tobias carrick
avalon couldn’t help but think back to her own experience as a patient, as she stood silently in the icu. watching her patient hooked up to countless machines, his husband, lost and afraid by his side. she knew how hopeless one could feel. how helpless. in her head, she ran through every symptom, every note on his chart, every lab result. never in her time as an internal medicine resident has she felt so stupid. so wrong. sure, they’d had difficult cases before. they’d lost as many patients as they’d been able to save. but this was… she shook her head and walked away from the window, from the two men flanking either side.
ethan’s voice, soft and laced with concern. “ avalon? are you okay? ” her jaw clenched and she paused, closing her eyes and willing herself to calm down. “ no, ” she told him, glancing over her shoulder. “ no, i am not okay. what you did to me today… what you did to that patient today… that can never happen again. ” she kept her voice low, not wanting to draw attention or disturb patients. “ you put me in an impossible position. a position i never should have been in. it wasn’t fair. it was unprofessional. ” she met both ethan and tobias’ gaze, ensuring each one knew she was talking to them both. “ you both have years of experience on me. and you gave me a decision that i wasn’t qualified to make, because you can’t put your crap at the door when you walk into work. i get that you don’t like each other, but news flash, you are not who matters here. not in this hospital. not either of you. ” she took a breath and clenched her fists, struggling to control her voice, and the growing wave of shifting emotion within. “ the only ones who matter here are the patients. and who knows how many of them suffered today, because of me? because neither one of you could act the grown-up men, the professionals, you are supposed to be. because i might just have made the wrong call, and for all the wrong reasons. i fought tooth and nail to keep this hospital open. i worked hard to earn my position on this team. but if you think that means i won’t walk away if the environment becomes toxic, you are both sorely mistaken. ” ethan’s face showed distress, his eyes pleading with hers, glassy and bright. tobias was more stoic, but something like regret inched into his hazel eyes. “ i will never be put in that position again. ” she finished on a whisper, stomach turning over, tightening painfully. she turned again and walked away, just in time for the tears to escape.
The best moment of today’s chapter by far was when MC and Harper were just vibing over the shame and disgust of witnessing two grown men fight over literally nothing.
The power they hold truly 🙌 we stan us unproblematic bitches
PSA: Just a kind, friendly reminder.
So, it came to my attention that some of y’all might live in a small fantasy where Ethan only likes girls. I’m okay with that. If you want to burry your head in the sand and pretend that he only cares for boobies and vagaygay, you do you sweetie.
BUT, let me take a second of your time to remind you this.
Ethan.
Is.
Not.
Straight.
He loves dudes.
He loves sucking cocks (yes, I’m going there.) In fact, he probably gives better blowjobs than most of y’all female MCs. He takes it upon himself to be good at everything and I guaranty you that sucking dicks is on that list.
He has feelings for MC, no matter their gender.
And the idea of losing him devastates him.
So if you want to plug your ears to keep those facts from reaching your tiny little brain, go ahead, it’s your business. But don’t you DARE come and tell us male MCs that we ruin the fandom “because Ethan is straight”, are we clear??
So the next time you feel like attacking one of us because we breach your perfect little homophobic world by pairing Ethan with another man…
Took the words right out of my mouth, darling.
Canon Ethan is bisexual, no matter what you make of it. If you want to keep him straight in your own world, we can’t stop you, but that does NOT give you the right to reach out to hard-working fanfiction writers and content creators to diminish their amazing work just because their MC happens to identify as male.
Let’s just spread the love instead and appreciate Ethan for the amazing man we all care for, alright?
This message was brought to you by Operation Colossal Pain in Ethan’s Ass @dr-colossal-pita @churning-the-sea-of-milk @katkart122 @christianworld @carrisarune You play with a male MC (or female and just want to join the movement!) and want in on one of Tumblr’s most amazing and inclusive groups?

cold as you || [ethan ramsey x mc]
summary: love doesn’t always burn. sometimes, it freezes.
warnings: angst, harsh ethan.
author’s notes: song title from taylor swift’s cold as you, story inspired by it.
word count: 2327
you have a way of coming easily to me and when you take, you take the very best of me so i start a fight 'cause i need to feel something and you do what you want 'cause i’m not what you wanted
“ ethan, please. ”
ethan touched a hand to his forehead, as though to soothe an ache building there. “ avalon. i don’t know what you want from me. ”
avalon stared for a moment, incredulous. “ what i want? ethan, i want something. anything. any sign that you’re willing to commit to this, to us, to me. ”
the man closed his eyes and turned toward the window of his office, gazing out at the city buzzing below. “ does everything have to be such a drama with you? ” he mused aloud, driving yet another knife deeper into the younger doctor’s heart.
she gritted her teeth and blinked away the tears threatening to spill; no, she would not give him the satisfaction. “ one moment you say you want to be with me. the next, you’re telling me you can’t see a future.”
“ that’s not what i said, ” ethan murmured, a heavy sigh accompanying the words. ‘’ i said no one can know what the future holds.”
“ so you make a choice, ” she countered, voice like thunder. “ you choose to commit to a person, despite the fact that you don’t know what’s coming. ”
ethan’s mind wandered to the stack of paperwork currently cluttering up his desk. he moved to sit behind it and selected a pen, never once glancing up at avalon. “ i don’t have time for this.”
avalon watched as he began to fill in forms, the top of his fancy fountain pen tapping against his lower lip. she let out a humourless chuckle and clenched her fists, moving her gaze to her feet. “ no. you never do.”
ethan didn’t look up until after the door had swished open and shut, until avalon was long gone down the hallway.
oh, what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say and now that i’m sitting here thinking it through i’ve never been anywhere cold as you
the streets were slick with rain. thick clouds sagged and poured water down across the city, avalon’s thin grey hoodie a poor deterrent to the weather. by the time she’d made it three blocks away from the hospital, she was soaked to the bone. at least the rain covered her tears. how could she possibly have ended up here? aching for a man who shut her out more often than he ever let her in? she thought back to her first interaction with ethan; how cold and stand-offish he’d been. as she reflected on all the months that had passed since, she realised, that coldness had never quite thawed. his edges were still sharp enough to cut if one were to get too close. and every time she believed there’d been a breakthrough, she’d blink and find herself left outside in the rain all over again.
you put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray and i stood there loving you and wished them all away and you come away with a great little story of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you
they say that insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results. avalon had been fighting ethan’s defences since the moment they first met. over a year later and not a dent was to be found. at work, she threw herself into case after case, diagnosing the impossible, gaining respect and admiration from every coworker by her side. as great as it felt to be on top of her game professionally, nothing could help the drop she experienced once she clocked out. her friends dragged her to donahughes nightly, buying beers and betting on games of pool. she tried her best to enjoy herself, to show her friends that she appreciated their efforts. one night, a couple of weeks after their arguement in his office, avalon spotted ethan at the bar. he was out with several of the more senior doctors, harper emory, baz mirani, june hirata, even naveen. they hadn’t spoken much in a personal capacity in days. aurora, elijah, jackie, sienna, and bryce were all too aware of what was distracting the blonde junior doctor.
excusing herself to head to the bathroom, avalon kept her head down as she moved through the crowd. unfortunately, she’d have to pass ethan’s table to get to her destination, and she prayed fiercely to slip by unnoticed. however, once she was a mere few feet away, her name was spoken by harper, causing her to stall.
“ summers is doing very well, wouldn’t you say? ”
june shrugged, a glass of wine in her hand. “ she’s capable of the job. ’
baz rolled his eyes at his co-worker. “ she’s fantastic. she sees things the rest of us can’t, she’s diagnosed more patients this month than we have in a long time. you made a good call, boss. ” he nodded to naveen, who smiled serenely. his gaze flitted to ethan, his face carefully neutral.
“ and you, ethan? what do you think? ”
avalon held her breath, she shouldn’t really be listening in, but then again... they were discussing her. she strained to hear ethan’s words over the buzz of the crowd and the music playing from the jukebox across the way.
“ she’s capable. she works hard. ”
well, there were worse things he could have said.
june smirked over the rim of her glass. red wine swirling like blood. ‘’ that all you have to say about your favourite resident? ‘’ she bared her teeth in a wicked smile. “ we all know she follows you around like a lost little puppy dog. ” ethan smiled too, slightly strained.
“ ah, june. you know what residents are like. they get an idea in their head, they run with it. nothing more than idle gossip, and i would have thought you to be above listening to that. ”
avalon felt her heart shatter in all the places it once glowed under ethan’s remarks. without a word, she turned from the table and pushed through the crowd again, this time aiming for the door. her friends hadn’t noticed, still believing avalon to be in the bathroom. she was thankful for this, the tears pouring down her face making her distress obvious. but she didn’t want to talk about it. she was done talking about it, about him. she was just done.
you never did give a damn thing, honey, but i cried, cried for you and i know you wouldn't have told nobody if i died, died for you, died for you
how cliché was it possible for one person to get? not only had avalon fallen for her boss, now here she was, tissue box by her knees, sniffling through heartbroken tears. a half-eaten bar of chocolate in one hand, her phone in the other. in her earphones, my chemical romance soothed her ache. the muffled sounds of knocking at her bedroom door lifted her attention. she flung a pillow in that direction, which landed just short of the doorframe with a pathetic thwump. she rolled onto her side, taking another bite of her chocolate. like everything in her life these days, it was dark and bittersweet, and when she opened her mouth to yawn she tasted salt on her lips. she clenched her fists, crumpling the wrapper with a crinkle. when the night grew into early morning, she ventured from her room to wash her face and grab a drink. elijah was by the fridge when she got to the kitchen, his expression in the dim room one of concern. “ hey, av,” he greeted softly, wheeling over to the kitchen counter. “ hey, eli. ” she cleared her throat, hoarse from lack of use. “ early shift today? ” he shook his head. “ just couldn’t sleep. ” she nodded, understanding the feeling.
“ i know things haven’t been easy for you, lately, av… ” the breath hitched in her throat. he reached for her hand, warm and soft. “ i just want you to know, you deserve better. ” his voice was so earnest, his words so genuine. she meet his gaze, red-rimmed emerald on soft, caring brown. “ you deserve so much more than this. you deserve so much better. ” avalon blinked, more tears slipping down her face. elijah’s heart ached, at the sight of his friend so distraught. he loved her deeply, she was like a sister to him. and to see her broken-down and aching because of a guy? it killed him.
he squeezed her hand, tight, and she sat heavily on one of their wooden stools. her head found a resting spot on elijah’s shoulder. she sobbed, and he brought his arms around her, holding her to his chest “ i’m sorry, eli, i’m sorry. ” he hushed her gently. murmuring to her as he rubbed her shoulders in soothing circles.
“ you have nothing to be sorry for. it’s not your fault. ”
they sat like that for more than hour, until the barest hint of sunshine streamed in through a chink in the blinds.
oh, what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day every smile you fake is so condescending counting all the scars you made
“ doctor summers? ”
her stomach twisted in on itself. ethan’s voice was nothing but professional, yet her nerves sprang to the edge when she heard it. leaving a patient’s chart by the nurse’s station, she turned to meet his icy blue gaze. “ a word? ” he asked, as casual as you like. avalon nodded and followed him silently to his office. the automatic doors slid shut with a gentle hiss.
he turned to face her, expression unreadable. “ i just wanted to check in. ” she replayed the words in her head, remaining silent as she processed. “ avalon? ”
she moved her eyes over his face. looking for some hint of what he wanted, what he really meant. he stepped closer and tilted his head, a tinge of worry seeping onto his face. “ it’s been a while since we spoke, ” he said, reaching to brush her wrist with his fingertips. she jolted at the gentle touch, and he stilled, his eyes meeting hers.
“ we don’t need to talk. ”
avalon’s voice was stronger than she had expected it to be. ethan was taken by surprise at her words, raising an eyebrow. “ i’m sorry? ”
she shook her head, a solemn expression on her face. “ no, you’re not, ” she whispered, and straightened her shoulders, meeting his gaze straight on. “ we don’t need to talk outside of work. okay? we talk about patients, and treatment, and strategy. other than that… i have nothing else to say to you. ”
ethan’s blue eyes widened, his lips opening in a silent oh. he seemed frozen to the spot, unable to move or speak.
“ we - there is no we. ” avalon decided. “ we are colleages. we work together. we don’t see each other outside of it. we don’t… i deserve better, ” she said, defiantly. “ the way you have treated me… i don’t deserve it. ” to her own surprise, she didn’t feel like crying. no, she felt better and better as she went on, finally standing up for herself. “ and i get it, you have issues, you have baggage, well, newsflash. we all do. and i should have walked away, before now, i should have. but i didn’t. and i - i’m sorry, ethan. i’m sorry that you would rather be alone than be loved. than let yourself love. i’m not a freakin’ rehab clinic. it’s not my job to fix you. it’s my job to fix our patients. ” she paused a moment, gauging ethan’s reaction. just shock, it seemed.
she sighed, sad and deep, and slightly relieved. “ i can’t do this anymore. so you need to stop. you don’t get to decide that you want me one minute, and then don’t want me the next. if you can’t respect someone else, regardless of your own trust issues, you really shouldn’t be in a relationship. ” she swallowed, hard, and felt the tension in the room swell as she finished her monologue. she didn’t exactly regret it, but did she wish she had picked a better place? yeah, maybe. but it wasn’t like she had even planned on saying any of it. it was just all too much. the weeks of crying herself to sleep, of watching ethan ignore her. elijah’s words of encouragement had echoed deep in her heart and her mind. and avalon finally knew that she respected herself too much to stay as ethan ramsey’s emotional punching bag.
ethan finally nodded, slowly. “ i hear you. i understand. ” his voice is monotone, lacking any trace of emotion. nothing really new there. avalon regarded him with caution. “ i mean it, ” she said, slowly, emphasising the words. ethan broke his gaze away, looking toward his desk. he nodded stiffly, and stuck his hands in the pockets of his lab coat. avalon backed up until she heard the hiss of the door. with one foot in the hallway, ethan spoke again, softer, the slightest note of regret in it. “ you’re right, you know. you do deserve better. ”
when she looks back over her shoulder, he’s resting his hands on his desk. his head turned to the side, watching her leave. blue eyes warm, but wet. her throat tightened and for a moment, her resolve faltered. there was a moment of heartwrenching vulnerability, just about visible.
it was too late. avalon put her hand on the doorframe, leaning against it. “ you deserve better, too, ethan. ” ethan watched her walk away, each receding footstep another crack to his heart. he closed his eyes and tried to even out his breathing. it was over. he lost her.
she was gone.
and now that i’m sitting here thinking it through i’ve never been anywhere cold as you
has anyone done this yet?
okay just to clarify, bc open heart mc can be either male or female yes i headcanon ethan as bi, my previous post was me making a joke that ethan is in a room full of ex and current partners, i never said it was ‘’canon’’. it’s my headcanon that ethan and tobias had a thing- again, my headcanon.
i’m not saying anyone else has to share that but like it’s how i read the story.
I don't know what's about to happen but I AM HERE FOR IT
so now ethan has to work with his ex girlfriend, ex boyfriend, and current partner... nice
okay so i know everyone is freaking out ab ayna potentially being the traitor but consider:
1. someone may have overheard them
2. enemies to lovers?
3. idk im torn between blaine and tatum anyway so😂
oh3 predictions:
• ethan will be all surprised and sorry when/if mc ever mentions how she feels left out with him and harper
• bryce is gonna seriously screw up a surgery, maybe even kill a patient 
• leland will fire ethan and the staff will all quit lmao

• pb continues to treat jackie and bryce as meaningless hookups
• raf too in fairness probably
• ethan stans will receive better quality diamond scenes
• leland is gonna go full douche
if Ethan wants a threesome with Harper... all he has to do is ask
