Open Heart Appreciation Post Masterlist (7/7)
Hello there! Open Heart has been such an amazing rollercoaster (still exasperated Pixelberry didn't showcase an engagement scene or something but reading fanfics to satisfy my wild imagination) and its already been 2 years since it ended. 2 years. 2 freaking years. Been so long already. LIKE SAY WHAT.
Sorry, was just rambling. Here's the series in order:
Part 1: Introduction to MC and LI
Part 2: Resident Life
Part 3: Family dynamics
Part 4: OH relationship meter
Part 5: AU dynamics
Part 6: Edenbrook characters in the future
Part 7: Masterlist of the event

Banana Bag
Book : Open Heart (set in book 3)
Pairing : Dr. Jackie Varma x Dr. Harper Emery
Summary : Chief residency is proving to be much harder than Jackie anticipated. Unable to open up to her friends, she finds solace in someone else.
Category : Angst
Warning : Excessive alcohol consumption and physical abuse
Rating : Teen (Just to be safe)
Word Count : 1152
Trope (s) : Hurt/comfort; pining; illness/injury
Prompt : #41 ~ "Let me see your scars..." from 101 Ways to Say I Love You prompt list.
A/N : Dearest Dom @utterlyinevitable sent me this request and I was so excited to write it down. Thank you so much for sending it my way, I hope you like it.
A/N 2 : PB has given us literally zero background on Jackie, and I hate them for it so I have taken certain liberties while writing this fic. So forgive me if it feels incorrect. Anyways, happy reading! ☺️💖
It had been a long week. Actually scratch that, it had been a long couple of weeks. The exhaustion of chief resident responsibilities was weighing down on Jackie's shoulders.
Happy to finally get a night off, Jackie made her way to Donahue's, sat down on a barstool and signaled Reggie for a tequila on the rocks. All she wanted to do was drink to her heart's content and crash back at her apartment.
One too many drinks, embarrassing karaoke and some awkward flirting later Jackie was finally ready to call it a day when a news playing silently from a small television at the bar caught her attention.
"Car crash at Cambridge Street and Court Street crossing takes terrible shape with atleast five deaths and many serious injuries."
Jackie looks up to the screen and snatches the remote from another customer to increase the volume.
"The first responders from Bloom Edenbrook Hospital are already at the scene…"
The rest of the news reporter's words fades away in her throbbing head. The very unwelcoming beep of her pager made her curse.
"911" it said, which meant it doesn't matter if you have been doing fifteen to twenty hour shifts, mountains of paperwork and sleeping in the on-call room for the last month you have to be at the hospital right now.
Jackie ran a hand through her face and hair, all she wanted was one, one peaceful evening without those idiotic interns breathing down her neck, but it was apparantly too much to ask.
With another beep from her pager, Jackie stood up and dragged her very drunk body out of Donahue's.
The hospital was in a mess. The patients hadn't arrived yet but the lack of direction and authority made the interns and her fellow residents erratic. She went into the trauma room picking up protective gear on the way.
"Alright, listen up everybody," she clapped her hands together, drawing everybody's attention.
"Jackie, are you drunk?" Meera asked, concerned.
"Big time," she said, rubbing exhaustion off her eyes. "Okay, so this is how we are gonna work : interns, divide yourselves into groups of three and work one patient together. Residents will be responsible for two such groups and overlook their working. Page the respective attendings whenever necessary. This is a crisis situation. We need to save as many lives as we can, so work fast but keep your heads cool," Jackie is interrupted by the familiau blaring sound of the ambulance. "Now move, move, move!" all doctors scurried towards the emergency exit. Jackie stops to catch her breath, her head spinning.
"Impressive work, Dr. Varma," Naveen comes to stand beside her.
"Thank you sir," Jackie manages to say.
"You can't treat patients in this condition."
"I am so sorry sir, I wasn't on-call today and I had just finished…"
"You don't need to explain yourself," Naveen smiled. "What you do in your personal time is none of our business. But these patients are our responsibility and I can't allow you to treat them."
"But I can't go home! I can't leave everyone in the middle of a crisis."
"Dr. Varma," Naveen placed his hand on her shoulder, "go get yourself a banana bag IV, get some rest and come back when you feel better. I promise, I'll personally try to take up your role."
Jackie nodded. She helped Naveen tie his surgical gown and looked over the chaotic ER one last time before making her way out.
Harper had just stopped a brain bleed and performed a cookie craniotomy on two trauma patients in the past hour. She was in desperate need of caffeine, and the coffee machine in the attendings' lounge was broken.
She walked into the residents lounge to find Jackie sitting under a dim light and cursing under her breath. Surprised and curious, Harper silently sneaked up behind Jackie and silently watched as she struggled to place the needle on her arm.
"Do you have a death wish?" she chuckled sitting down beside her.
"You startled me," Jackie hiccuped.
"Here, let me," Harper said, trying to take the needle from her.
"No!" Jackie said as if someone was trying to take away candy from a kid. "I can do this! I am a doctor, I am the chief resident, I can place my own IV."
"I know, you can, Dr. Varma, but sometimes it's good to ask for help," Harper smiled.
This time Jackie didn't protest and Harper successfully obtained the IV needle. She looked at Jackie's arm and noticed a dozen scar marks across her arm. Harper looked at Jackie confused. Jackie lets out a sigh turning away from her, "see, I told you I can do it…"
"No, let me see your scars… please?"
Jackie turned around again, putting her arm out for Harper.
"Growing up in an Indian family wasn't easy," she sighed. "You get anything less than A and you get these as gifts," she pointed to the scars. "Then there was this stupid, stupid boy, in college, with whom I was supposedly in love with," she rolled her eyes, "I forgot to love my body after the break up and gifted myself a few more of these."
"Then one day, I had to be brought into the ER, because apparently the blade went in too far. They called in social service and encouraged me to go into therapy, that's when I made up my mind to go into medicine."
"Oh, Jackie," Harper gave her an empathetic look. "Fuck did I overshare?" Jackie said nervously.
"Don't worry it's just me here," Harper said, putting on the last bandaid. "And I don't think you'll remember this tomorrow."
"Can I share something else then?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"I can't do this! This chief residency is killing me, I can't say it out loud, I really want this position, but also it's so damn tough!" Jackie said, hiding her head in her arms.
"Listen to me, you can do this, I believe in you," Harper said, taking her hand in hers. "Look at how far you have come. College Jackie is so fucking proud of you and so am I."
Jackie looks up to her eyes and leans into her touch.
"Strong women like us always find a way. So hang in there tight, and don't forget to ask for help when you need it," Harper's gaze shifts to her lips, suddenly aware of how close they were sitting.
Jackie leans in hoping to meet her halfway when the same annoying beeping of a pager makes both of them spring apart.
"Ohh, that's me," Harper said, "looks like someone's brain needs fixing again," she laughs nervously. "I'll see you around, Dr. Varma?"
Jackie nods. Harper crosses the room and was about to walk out of it when, "Dr. Emery," Jackie called, "thank you."
Harper turned, "my pleasure," she replied with a grin and closed the door behind her.
Thank you so much if you have read till here, it means the world to me. Catch you on the next one, till then sending love and hugs your way! ❤️
A/N : Okay okay okay hear me out, even I don't like imaging our badass Jackie crying over and harming herself for a boy. But I like to feel like there was a soft Jackie before this one which was unfortunately traumatized by an evil spawn of a man. Again I am open to criticism but with very little to work with (courtesy PB) I took certain liberties, sorry.
A/N 2 : Just wanted to say that I received a lot of requests from the prompt list and I am so grateful for that. I'll try to post one prompt each week but real life is a bitch and will obviously give me all sorts of problems hence delaying the process so please bear with me. 🥺 That being said if y'all still want to send in requests feel free to do so, but do check out this post to avoid repetion, thank you. 💜

Boston to Barbados
Book : Open Heart (set post book 3)
Pairing : Dr. Aurora Emery x M!OC (Dr. Kevin Arnold)
Special Appearance : F!MC (Dr. Meera Bose)
Summary : Kevin and Aurora plan their first getaway as a couple, but things don't go according to plans.
Category : A messy mix of angst and fluff
Warnings : None
Rating : General
Word Count : 1156
Trope(s) : And they were fighting
Prompt : #99 ~ "Can I give you a hug? You look upset." from 101 Ways to Say I Love You
So Dom @utterlyinevitable sent me this prompt request and I absolutely had to write it down. This is my first time writing these two separately and I am both nervous and excited! You can find more on Kevin here. I hope you guys like it, happy reading folks! 😊❤️
"Are you done with your application?" Kevin said, looking up from his laptop.
"Almost," Aurora said with her eyes focused on her screen, "just a few alterations."
"Ah, now it looks good," she said a few minutes later, joining Kevin on the couch. "Will you proofread mine?"
"Gladly," Kevin smiled.
They exchanged laptops going over each other's application letter and trying to make it better. When both were content they typed out the respective email addresses and pressed the send button, their free hand tangled with each other.
"So, we wait now?" Kevin said, kissing their entangled hands.
"Yes, the most nerve wracking part!"
"But, on the brighter side, this can become our first getaway as a couple," Kevin pulled her onto his lap.
"Sure will, and while we wait, you can keep me occupied with this," Aurora placed a series of kisses down his neck.
Since getting to know that Johns Hopkins was holding a conference in Barbados that year Kevin and Aurora made up their mind to get a spot on the five doctor team that was being selected across all specialties from their respective hospitals.
The following Monday, Kevin had just wrapped up a patient when his phone chimed with a new email. It was from the board and it was about the conference. Taking a few deep breaths Kevin opened the email.
He had been selected! A huge smile spread across his face as he did a small mental dance. A full weekend in Barbados, with the two loves of his life : medicine and Aurora. It was going to be perfect!
Unable to contain his excitement he decided to take a break from work and go over to Solomon Kenmore to inform Aurora about the good news. He got into the elevator putting on a poker face to surprise her.
He entered her office to see a frowning Aurora sitting at her desk dejectedly.
"Hey," she said in the saddest tone he had heard her speak.
"Can I give you a hug? You look upset," without waiting for a response Kevin wrapped his arms around her. Aurora let out a sigh, kissing his cheek before breaking the embrace.
"I didn't get it," she said.
"What?"
"The conference. they didn't pick me, our couple's weekend at Barbados is ruined."
"But why? You are perfect in every way!"
"I don't know. Probably they picked another entitled white man again," she said sarcastically. "What about you? Did you hear anything?"
"I did actually," Kevin thought for a moment, the wheels in his brain turning, "I didn't get it either." He made up his mind, there was no point in going without her.
"What? That's a bummer," sorrow spread all over Aurora's face. She took his hand in hers, "don't worry we'll make it into the next one."
Kevin smiled at her and their conjoined hands, he was happy and content that he had her, whether it was Boston or Barbados.
The next day Aurora decided to surprise Kevin at lunch. She walked across Edenbrook's atrium trying to get sight of him when she ran into Meera.
"Well hello there stranger," Aurora called out.
"Aurora! To what do we owe this pleasure? Coming to see what a real hospital looks like?" Meera teased.
"Stop stealing Ramsey's lines and come up with something original," the doctors laughed.
"So? Is Kenmore ready for Barbados?" Meera asked.
"I don't know man, I am still furious at the chief for not picking me," Aurora sighed. "So who did Ethan pick by the way?"
"He didn't yet after Kevin's withdrawal yesterday." Aurora stopped short in her tracks. "Why did he withdraw anyway?" Meera continued, unaware.
"Wait, Kevin, did what now?" Aurora was utterly confused by now.
"Umm, didn't you know already?"
"No!" Aurora paced back and forth, turning the events of the past few days over in her head. It all made sense now. "Meera I need your help, I need to talk to Ethan."
Kevin looked at his watch, twelve hours down three more to go. He walked into the attendings' lounge hoping to find a silent corner and a mug of coffee. But the door opened to reveal his girlfriend.
"What in the world were you thinking?" Aurora punctuated each word. Kevin knew when she talked like this, he knew his secret was out.
"Is this about Barbados?"
"You bet this is. Tell me what was going in your head when you took this stupid decision to withdraw?"
Kevin let out a long sigh. "Look babe, you were so excited about this and you were so looking forward to it too…"
"So you just assumed that I will be overcomed with sorrow to hear that my boyfriend got accepted for this extremely prestigious conference, because I didn't get it. Is that what you think about me? Do I appear that self-obsessed to you?!"
"No, listen, it was pointless to me. The conference didn't hold any significance if you weren't there with me. I wanted to do this together or I didn't want to do this at all."
"That is where you went wrong!" Aurora was suddenly cautious of how close they were standing due to the heat of the argument. "The conference is still very significant to your career, whether I am in it or not."
She moved away from him coming to stand against one of the windows putting ample space between them. "And you know what pains me the most? This 'sacrifice' you supposedly made, I could never do it."
"I could never expect you to," Kevin crossed the room standing next to Aurora, his eyes fixed on hers.
"If it was me in your shoes," Aurora continued, "I could never take this call because I am hella competitive and selfish about my career and I thought you knew that before we started dating."
Kevin let out a long breath, realisation and regret dawning upon him, "I messed up, and I know that. And it really does feel stupid now that I think about it. I am so sorry Aurora, tell me how to make it right and I'll do it, I promise."
Aurora smiled sheepishly going into her bag and taking out an envelope. "Here," she said, placing it on his hand, "here is your acceptance letter and ticket. You'll get on that flight, kick everybody's ass in Barbados, come back to Boston and then take me to a real vacation. No work, no conference, just me and you."
Kevin looked at his hand in disbelief, a smile spreading across his face to match Aurora's grin. Without thinking he captured her lips in hers. Aurora returned the kiss, deepening it.
"I love you," he said.
"I love you too," Aurora replied, stroking his hair.
"Just one question, how did you manage to retrieve this?" Kevin asked, holding up the envelope.
"There are certain perks you get when you are friends with the chief's girlfriend," Aurora chuckled.
Thank you so much if you have read till here, it means the world to me. Catch you on the next one, till then sending love and hugs your way! ❤️

And they talked long into the night...
I commissioned my first Ethan & Sawyer art piece from the amazing @bayleedrawsx! And it's just darling.🥰 I love it so much!
I've been replaying the Dolores chapter to prepare for the next part of my Intern Year series and I really wanted to capture this moment from when Ethan and Sawyer stayed with baby Hudson all night. In their story, this is when their attraction for one another became more than just skin-deep. 💕

She drove like a demon, zigzagging the nifty little convertible up I-95, a woman on a mission. She’d started the two-hour journey with the top down, her long brown stuffed under a Red Sox cap, reluctantly putting up the roof when rain clouds opened up near Princeton.
An eclectic playlist of classic rock, blues, hip-hop and contemporary hits blasted away, her soulful voice joining in the chorus when the mood called for it. Her green eyes sparkled with joy as she recalled the last road trip with her twin and how they’d played car karaoke to pass the time.
The rain was a distant memory by the time Eloise Ramsey exited the Lincoln Tunnel and drove through Midtown Manhattan and into the Upper West Side. She entered the security code for the underground garage, waited for the gate to close behind her and then zipped her car into the assigned spot minutes later.

For @openheartappreciationweek I decided to share two snippets from two of my Open Heart AU‘s I’ve been working on 🧡💚
Amber
Book: Open Heart
Type: AU fic
Rating: Mature
Series: Chapter 1/?
Summary: Bryce has had superpowers ever since high school. Surgeon by day, superhero by night. Though he’s not the only one who’s got skills. His nemesis Lady Ambrose is just as skilled as Bryce is.
A/N: Thank you to @mvalentine for inspiring this story with your ask. I would’ve never written this AU or even come up with this superhero vs. villain story if it wasn’t for you so thank you 💓
Boston
12 years ago…
Bryce
I was still in high school when I discovered I was somehow different from the rest of my friends. I could do things with light that they couldn’t. I thought I was just seeing things. Boy was I wrong.
You probably ask yourself what makes me so special from the rest?
Slowly over time I developed photokinesis. It’s the power to manipulate light. Cool huh? Well when it comes to learning and training? Not so much. I’ve had to learn all of those things on my own.
It was pretty fucking scary for me, because there was no one I could ask for advice. No one handed me a manual or helped me correct and improve on my mistakes.
Slowly I discovered some of my powers. Over time I got better with my skills and abilities.
I know I know. It doesn't sound all that impressive at first, but when you think about it, it’s actually one of the coolest powers there is.
I can fract, bend, or move light.
Create holographic images, turn invisible, and even move at light-speed simply by adjusting the properties of the light that surrounds me.
Trust me I’ve tried out many things. Simply to see what’s possible with light manipulation.
Soon after I finished high-school my parents got arrested for financial fraud. I never saw it coming. None of our friends and family did.
Life got pretty lonely after that. When everyone stares at you. Silently judging you.
You were basically unfollowed overnight everywhere. From picta, from any social channels. No more party invitations, no social gatherings.
Soon you were shunned by everyone.
That’s when I vowed to do better and to provide my sister Keiki with a different life.
One where she isn’t judged by what our parents did. I graduated from Stanford with honors and became her guardian. After that we moved to Boston.
I was the only relative she could stay with. Not that I’m complaining. I love my little sister more than anything in this world, but I was scared to death.
Juggling university, two jobs, taking care of my sister. It’s an awful lot for a 21-year-old guy.
I didn’t want Keiki or anyone else to know what kind of powers I have. Imagine ending up in a lab somewhere, because they want to figure out how your powers work and profit off of you.
After everything went down with my parents I got into an emotional turmoil. Everything was just too much. So I started running. Exercising all the time. Just to put all this restless energy somewhere. At the same time I was getting my body into shape.
I feel a lot calmer afterwards. Running helps me clear my head. It also helped me to improve on my skills.
The girl turns her head and I catch golden blonde hair in the dimly lit street lights. She looks like an angel who fell from heaven.
Yeah I know sounds super cliché, but it’s true. She has this soft, feminine aura that clings to her. An inner light that’s so radiant you always want to be surrounded by it. To bask in that light every single day.

A/N: A huge thank you to @lilyoffandoms Who inspired me greatly for my AU The Royal & I @starrystarrytrouble Who not only inspired me for my AU The Royal & I but also allowed my to use her name in my story 💚🧡 Ruby is a very special friend to Luna. So hopefully I did her justice ❤️
Waking up in a comfy bed and the softest sheets you can think of. This is truly marvelous. I sigh and sink back into my bed.
I just closed my eyes to linger for a couple more seconds when I hear a stern knock at my door.
Well looks like the moment is officially over. I get out of my bed, pushing the sheets aside. Getting into my slippers and putting my pink satin robe on.
I open the door and see my PR manager Ruby standing outside of my room. Ready to knock again. In case I haven’t heard it the first time.
“Good morning your highness,“ she says holding a clipboard close to her chest and dressed in a suit in a light sage green. Her auburn hair glinting in the light of the hallway.
Smiling at me.
“How many times have I told you to call me Luna. Adding the highness feels unnecessary,“ I say and open the door wider to let her in.
She walks in and closes the door behind her.
“So what’s on the agenda today?“ I ask opening my closet.
I’m dressing myself. I don’t like too many people in my space.
Ruby starts reading off of her clipboard.
“Breakfast with your mother and sister. Dinner with your father, where you will discuss the arrangement between Rosario and Aldana,“ she says.
I groan at that.
I’m supposed to marry this guy. Prince Phillip from the kingdom of Aldana to strengthen our political bonds. To unify two kingdoms. Showing people we can coexist together.
I’d rather eat turkey - which I don’t like - than spending time with the prince, much less marry him.
“I wish I could be normal for one day. That’s all I ask,“ I mutter which Ruby doesn’t comment on. Bless her. I’m glad she’s here.
I pick out a magenta dress, that ends at the knees, with thin spaghetti straps. Get my pink heels on.
Put on some light make-up, leaving my long blonde hair open and wild just the way I like it. Then I turn around to face Ruby.
Ruby looks at me with compassion.
“I can’t imagine how you must feel. Maybe Prince Phillip isn’t so bad. I’ve heard only good things about him,“ Ruby tries to reassure me.
I nod and put on a fake smile. Though Ruby sees right through me. I smile softly at her and give her a hug. Rules be damned.
“So what else is on that list of yours?“ I ask as we get out into the hallway, down into the garden to have breakfast with my mother and sister.
“As requested we’re visiting the animal shelter today. I’ll take some picture of the animals to post on our social media channels,“ Ruby grins her hazel eyes shining with glee.
I smile at her. I love that we’re donating to the local animal shelter. All those animals deserve a home. If I’m a princess then the least I can do is use my title to make the world a better place.
We walk into the garden.
Freshly mowed. Its bushes and trees are being manicured to perfection. Like everything else in the palace.
I try not to let that upset me. Breathing in the fresh air. The flowery scent of peonies and magnolia trees tickles my nose. Spring looks beautiful. When new leaves and flower buds are blossoming, it feels like a fresh start. Like a beautiful new beginning.
Seems as if my mother and my sister Taliyah Aurea of Rosario are already seated. Or Tally as I like to call my sister. She’s my younger sister and so mischievious all the time. I love her.
Ruby excuses herself and lets us have breakfast. I wish she could join us, but it wouldn’t be proper for her to sit with us. I hate it. She’s my friend. She should sit at this table with all of us. My mother would say the etiquette doesn’t allow it. I think that etiquette is bullshit. Unfortunately I have to follow the rules just like everyone else.
“Good morning mother and Tally,“ I say and can’t resist adding her childhood nickname.
I sit down and smile at my sister and my mother who are engaged in a heated debate about spring colors, not really acknowledging my presence. I roll my eyes at that and shake my head.
