Forgiveness

Synopsis: After Charlie’s dramatic first day back at Edenbrook (and Ethan and Charlie’s two dramatic fights), they’re both trying to come to terms with what happened and and reach forgiveness.

Chapter 23 of the “with and without” series

Previous Series: “a weekend with dr. ramsey”

Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x MC (Charlotte “Charlie” Greene)

Words: 6k

Rating: Teen

Trigger Warnings: discussions of mental health (discussion of therapy, allusion to past depression), light mention of drugs in reference to Louise

Ethan Ramsey wasn’t looking for Charlie Greene.

He really wasn’t. He didn’t want to see her at all after their fight in the on-call room. He still couldn’t believe how irresponsible and careless she was. He replayed it over and over, cycling through the day but always ending in the on-call room.

Occasionally, he grazed something unsavory – like the possibility he had also responded rashly or those moments in the E.R. preceding the fight– but he ran from those thoughts as quickly as they came.

It was a coincidence that Ethan was roaming the hospital, looking down every hall and scanning every group for a familiar face.

He wasn’t looking for her.

But, if he just so happened to see her, he was prepared.

He had a speech.

Absent the rush of emotions of their previous exchanges, Ethan finally articulated his argument, and he knew exactly what he wanted to tell her. He was ready to say that she was wrong for missing her appointment and that, if she continued to live in denial, she was risking her health and safety as well as that of her patients. He wasn’t angry because she was lonely or bored at home. He was angry because he was watching the woman he loved throw away her chance at healing.

He had never been this disappointed and angry while also overwhelmed with love, and he wasn’t sure how to proceed with such conflicting feelings. He loved Charlie so much, but he was also so angry. He simultaneously longed to run to her and run away from her.

Then there was Louise…

Ethan recoiled from the thought, eager to get her out of his mind as she had been for decades. He knew he was angry at her. He might even hate her. But that was all locked away now, safely put out of reach so he never had to experience it. He registered that it began to boil over, and it triggered his instinct to run. There was a moment where Ethan thought he ought to stay – to experience the pain just as he begged Charlotte to experience hers – but he lacked the skills, or maybe he lacked the bravery.

He checked his watch to distract himself.

1:50 pm.

Just 10 minutes to Charlie’s therapy appointment.

Ok so picture this:

The diagnostics team has a really hard time finding a cure for Caroline in book 3, and out of anger and frustration, Leland lashes out at Ethan. He either accuses Ethan for not trying hard enough, bringing up the attack when the team found a cure for MC, and tells Ethan he only did it since MC’s his girlfriend/boyfriend. Or he tells Ethan that he has to try harder since he apparently has no idea what it feels like to never be able to touch the only person in the world who matters to him.

Can you imagine the flavour of Ethan responding to any of that stuff?😌

A Matter Of Time: Ethan x MC

AUTHORS NOTE: Wow I cant believe its nearly been a week since the last AU chapter. I came up with so many plot holes I had to fix, so everything got delayed! But here we are. In todays chapter, we have the first half of E + Vs last day at Edenbrook. Some painful memories are resurfaced, V gets a possibly life changing letter and decisions are made. Plus there's a cute Alan scene at the end! Here is ‘A Matter Of Time’ and I hope you enjoy! :)

Valentine

Things were never supposed to go this way.

The future appeared so bright. Like nothing could possibly get in the way of dreams, hopes and everything that makes us want to keep on going.

That our happiness was in our very grasp.

Its true when they say that life and the universe can kick you down. So very low that at times you don’t even know if its worth getting up just to fall again.

But with every part of me….

I promise to keep on going for the little girl who had the whole universe in her eyes. Who saw the multiple possibilities and wanted to fight and achieve everyone of them.

For the little girl that I once was….

Who never imagined shed be saying goodbye to the dreams she never thought she would achieve….

Who never thought she’d be saying goodbye so soon…

Tumblr fic writers have ruined me with all of the NSFW content that the 30💎 scenes in the real book feel like they're such clichés, especially when any of the parties pull any of that "your wish is my command" or "I'm just getting started" bs.

God bless fan fic writers and their thirsty pieces 🍾

stateofgracious asked:

Hi! Me again! I don’t know if you’ve done this or not or something that might interest you. But HC with Ethan and MC meeting like Derek and Meredith, sleeping together before knowing they work together?

alwaysmychoices answered:

I really enjoyed this one! A. I got to do “research” by rewatching Grey’s. B. I loved the way this turned out. If this becomes it’s own fic, don’t be surprised.

Ethan & f!MC - Meeting Before Knowing They Worked Together

When MC walked into Donahue’s on the eve of her first day at Edenbrook, she was determined to have one last night where she wasn’t an incoming resident or a future diagnostician or anything other than a girl at a bar.
Maybe she should have known that a bar that close to a hospital would attract its employees.
But really, when she saw Ethan, she wasn’t thinking.
He was just a handsome man sitting alone at a bar, and she was just a girl.
Neither of them meant to go home together that night. If anything, they felt like they were trapped in some magnetic pull.
They had to talk. Ethan had to buy her a drink, and MC had to move closer. A few hours later, when Ethan called himself a cab, it was a foregone conclusion that MC would be in the backseat next to him.
That night was amazing.
The morning, however…
MC woke up hungover to Ethan’s morning alarm. The 45-second gap between MC waking and Ethan turning off the alarm was as close to hell as MC ever wanted to be.
“Why is it so loud?” she grumbled, covering her eyes with her arm.
“It’s an alarm.”
“Right.”
…
“What time is it?”
“6.”
“What?”
MC scrambled for her phone and emitted a panicked groan that made Ethan do a double-take. Jolted awake with anxiety, MC got out of bed and fumbled for her clothes, which lined Ethan’s floor haphazardly.
He watched with bemused confusion.
“Are you alright?” he asked, trying not to smirk as she mumbled a thousand curses under her breath as she tried to button her jeans.
“I’m going to be late.”
“For?”
“My first day.”
“At?”
“My job.”
Ethan was both amused and frustrated with her insistence on remaining vague. She didn’t seem particularly interested in talking to him, or in him at all this morning. That should have been a blessing. He never liked the awkward, post-sex small talk or the polite feigned interest in each other’s life.
Maybe he was so interested in MC because she wasn’t interested in him.
Either way, he asked her name. She didn’t seem to be offended that he forgot, and a moment later, she admitted that she didn’t know his either.
Ethan asked if she wanted coffee. Nearly tripping as she buckled her wedges, MC said she didn’t have time. He asked for a raincheck.
MC paused, debating how to answer. She didn’t walk into that bar to find someone, nor did she move to Boston with the intention of dating anyone. She didn’t have time for coffee dates, no matter how handsome this stranger was.
But instead of letting him down gently, she walked to his bedside table where he kept a pen and paper for late-night epiphanies. She scribbled her name and number on the top sheet.
And then she had to go.
Ethan called out a goodbye, and though she didn’t return it, she smiled softly in the elevator.
The next hour or so was chaos. MC’s ride back to her apartment was slowed by morning traffic, so running out of time, MC ran upstairs, changed, grabbed what she needed, and ran back downstairs in a panic. 10 minutes into her commute, she realized her phone was dead, and she blindly navigated her new city.
Considering everything, it was a miracle she was only 5 minutes late.
But she was still late.
MC moved through orientation feeling like she was always a step behind because she was late. She made a few friends, all of whom assured her that she hadn’t missed much, but one maintained a sly, condescending smile as if he’d somehow won today’s game by being earlier than her.
She was so focused on making up for lost time that she didn’t notice her familiar coworker until it was too late.
They were in the halls when their paths first crossed.
Ethan saw her first. At first, it was just a quick glance, but when he realized who she was, he stopped dead in his tracks.
MC, coffee in one hand and a chart in the other, kept walking and only offered a cursory glance of intrigue when she saw someone stop in the halls.
She nearly dropped her coffee in shock.
For a moment, they just stared at each other.
And then they stared at each other’s IDs.
MC felt nauseous when she read his name. Dr. Ethan Ramsey. Her hero. Her boss.
She had sex with her boss.
And Ethan had sex with an intern!
Ethan opened his mouth to say something – though God knows, he didn’t know what he was going to say – but didn’t get the opportunity. Panicked, MC just walked away.
The rest of the day, she felt like she was in a daze.
What had she been thinking? She should have never gone out last night at all.
Two hours later, they ran into each other again – this time, in a lonely elevator with no immediate exit. They were trapped.
MC spoke first.
“So, you’re… you’re Dr. Ramsey then.”
“I am.”
“Right…” MC evaded eye contact, “I read your book.”
Ethan cringed, “Oh.”
After a beat, he asked, “So, what are you? Surgery? Pediatrics?”
“Diagnostics.”
“Oh.”
Realizing that Ethan was MC’s direct supervisor, they agreed to pretend nothing ever happened. As soon as they exited this elevator, they would never speak of it again. They shared an awkward handshake just before the doors opened.
They fully intended to stay apart, but they kept running into each other.
MC quickly established herself as a promising if flawed doctor. Ethan was intrigued by her potential. After days of deliberation, he decided it would be unfair to refrain from mentoring her just because they made one mistake.
He told himself it was pure professional interest, but if that were true, he wouldn’t have kept her number all this time.
Ethan was hard on MC. His criticisms became so frequent they felt like abuse. He expected a lot from her – more than he expected from any other intern, save for Aurora. She responded to the criticism with improved performance, and Ethan saw no reason to let up now.
She couldn’t reach her potential if she was afraid to grow.
He kept his compliments and growing respect mostly to himself. He worried that, given their past, sharing them would appear inappropriate.
So, as Ethan grew attached to MC, she brewed in dislike.
The differential treatment was obvious. While Ethan flattered himself that he was pushing her to greatness, she just felt pushed and underappreciated. Her success was only met with more challenges. She was exhausted, and she blamed Ethan.
And Ethan had the misfortune of sitting next to her at Donahue’s the night she reached her limit.
He asked if she wanted a drink. She answered with the kind of glare that could slit throats.
Ethan’s reasoning was clouded with MC. Though he recognized her annoyance and knew to leave, he didn’t. He ordered his drink and remained next to her as she fumed.
After 10 minutes of silence, MC finished her third beer and asked, “Why are you such a dick?”
Ethan choked on his drink.
“If you’re just punishing me because of that night, that’s not appropriate. I’m a doctor, not just the girl from a bar you slept with.”
“I am not punishing you, and if I was, it certainly wouldn’t be for that reason.”
Maybe it was the alcohol in her system. Maybe it was months of resentment. Or maybe it was because, no matter what he did, he was still the handsome stranger at a bar. The magnetic draw they found in Donahue’s never waned. She still wanted him to pick up her number and schedule that coffee date.
Whatever it was, MC let him have it.
They ended up in an alley, yelling at each other like the rest of the world couldn’t hear them. Under the cover of false anonymity, they released so much frustration that their voices reached screams.
And then…
Well, they later blamed the passion of the moment.
But, once they had released all of their frustrations, one lingered. They resented staying apart.
So, that night, they didn’t.
In the middle of a screaming match where MC aimed a long stream of expletives at him, Ethan kissed her. And then MC kissed him. And then they were in a cab, and they were back in his apartment. And… and it started all over.
And the worst part was that they each had a sobering moment where they realized what they were doing, and they did it anyway.
In the morning, they had the same conversation they had in the elevator. This was an unprofessional, irresponsible mistake, and it wouldn’t happen again.
But it did.
And at some point, they realized they were no longer thrown together in the rush of adrenaline and frustration. They were together on the good days and in the smiling moments.
A thousand small decisions tied them to one another.
MC wasn’t just a girl in a bar.
She never had been.

(Chap 45. OH AU 4) - To Die For

FINALE TIME! Y’all ready for this? 😏

I spent whole day writing this, so uh, forgive the mistakes. I’ve read it so many times, it’s a freakin’ blur. Anyway, as always, I love you all with every breath in my body 😉

(OH AU 1, 2 & 3) - Masterlist

(Chap 45. OH AU 4) - To Die For

The sun was on the verge of rising when Denise tiptoed out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her and her hair messily tied into a bun. She’d showered quickly, in complete silence, not bothering to wash her long hair as she didn’t want to risk waking Ethan up with the prolonged sound of running water. Her eyes were locked on him as she dressed quietly, the steady rise and fall of his chest. Her lips curled with a warm smile as she admired his chiseled features, softened by the indigo and rose-pink hues of dawn outside their floor-to-ceiling windows.

There was a list of things Denise wanted to do for Ethan before she left, things that would ensure he’d be okay without her for a little while. She didn’t have time to lie next to him and watch him sleep, but it was a temptation she couldn’t resist. He looked so peaceful, so perfect, and it’d been a while since she’d been allowed the opportunity. She tucked her hands under her pillow and cheek, then smiled as she listened to his quiet snores. She cautiously reached a hand out and traced the curve of his slightly parted lips with her cold fingers. It was her favorite thing about him: the way his lips parted in his sleep. He was a devastatingly handsome man with a presence that commanded an entire room each time he walked into one. The adorable way in which he slept humanized him, as did any time she was gifted the rare sight of him being anything other than the Dr. Ethan Ramsey.
