Unexpected Stowaways at the ER

still Feb. 21st for me so this is not a belated post for the @kevaaron-exchange for @m000rgue 😌💅 but also in most timelines, it’s my pookie’s birthday (my present? hand broke again :3)

summary:

Aaron Minyard was 4 rotations away from completing his fourth year in med school. Residency was so close to his hands. Soon, he'd be Dr. Aaron Minyard, a far fetch from the fuckup he once was. A marvel, Nicky always loved to boast to anyone who asked (no one did, but Nicky didn't let that stop him). All Aaron needed to do was power through the chaos of Harborview Medical Center for two more months and go to the next one. Well, he would if his plans weren't upended by one Pro-exy player by the name Kevin Day, who, upon a cursory glance, had injuries no sport could explain. That, and the nuisance of a companion the star athlete had hovering over him.

hands-on treatment

“Is the pressure okay?” Aaron managed to ask, his voice sounding thinner than he liked. “Yeah,” Kevin’s voice was a low vibration that Aaron felt through his palms. “Don't stop.” - Aaron is the head physiotherapist for the Chicago hockey team, and Kevin is the star player who keeps coming to him with a never-ending string of vague aches.

Today is the last day for you to post your gift!

You have until the end of the day in your timezone. I will be checking who hasn't received their gifts around 3-4 p.m CET and subsequently sending out messsages to potential pinch hitters if needed. I want to make sure everyone receives their gifts.

If you need to drop out at the last minute or need an extension, please message me instead of ghosting! It'll make it a little easier for me to make sure everything goes smoothly :)

[kevaaron-exchange]

Just a little heads-up!

I am going away for two days from Friday to Saturday and won't be online much. I will reblog, respond etc. on Sunday :)

Reminder that the posting period ends on February 21st. If you're not sure you can make it before then, please send me a message so I can forward it to the giftee. In case we will need pinch hitters, I will send an email to participants who agreed to that during sign-ups.

They could’ve stayed there for hours, till the sun came up if anyone would ever dare let them. But Aaron knew people would be looking for Kevin soon, if they hadn’t already started. He turned to tell him so, but Kevin was staring at something off in the distance, brow furrowed in confusion. 

“What is it?” Aaron asked. 

Kevin didn’t look away, just gave an indicative nod forward. “There. Who is that?”

Hold Me Tight or Don't

Kevin/Aaron | Rated G | Soulmates AU

for @silvanyula as part of the @kevaaron-exchange !

Summary:

Kevin winds his hand around the cord hanging between them, red and vibrant and completely at fault for the conversation taking place right now, because Aaron finally noticed.

Better of Me by IWannaScreamEureka on ao3 for: @minyard-05

Summary

Later, Kevin is in Aaron’s room. They are sitting on the floor, backs against Aaron's bed. Their respective bass guitars ring through the room for hours until they find something that does not clash.

Aaron likes the way Kevin smiles when the notes become a harmony. Toothy and childlike. A complete opposite of Kevin’s media smile that is always on the fronts of magazines and album covers. 

He sees the smile in his dream, and wakes up with the bass melody stuck in his head. 

[silvanyula]

It takes a stupid party game and a stupider dare to recognize that Aaron might like kissing Kevin too much for a straight guy. He tries to go on from here.

Posting week begins today!

[kevaaron-exchange]

AO3 Collection Open!

Happy New Year! As we're a little over a month from the posting week, the AO3 collection is now open. If you are done with your gift, you can submit it to the collection ahead of time - it will stay unrevealed until the posting week starts.

You can find the collection here.

Please make sure your ao3 settings allow you to have people gift you works. You can find it under Profile -> Set My Preferences -> Collections, Challenges and Gifts

Happy writing!

[kevaaron-exchange]

hello hello are we allowed to send questions (on anon) to our giftees or does it need to stay secret?

Ideally, it should stay secret, but I'm not going to be monitoring what everybody does. If you feel like you need to ask your giftee an anon question, go ahead (try keeping the details of your gift to the minimum, though!)
