Hot Take:
Teddy should've taken Cristina's trade.
Teddy would be happy and get what Teddy wants (Owen). Cristina would be happy and get what Cristina wants (lots and lots of bloody cardio surgeries).
Or the rare third option where they share him in a symbiotic throuple situation. Owen gets to have his babies with Teddy. Teddy gets to be with the (second) love of her life / best friend. Cristina gets her hot sex with Owen and puts 100% of her time and energy into her career. Win/Win/Win all around.
I'll admit trading Owen like a stud horse is a bit icky, but let's be real. That man is tragically indecisive. So, if Yang and Altman sat him down and hashed out terms with him present, it would've avoided soooooooooo much drama in the later seasons. Plus, it would've been a comedic gold mine.
Just sayin.

Riordanverse Grey's Anatomy AU: By yours truly.
Co-authored by @paging-possum take custody of our crimes.
ANNABETH, chief of surgery w/ trauma specialty. She was chief resident and head of trauma before becoming chief. head of trauma before her was Luke Castellan. But he died tragically in Grey's fashion (Nat's words not mine)
PERCY, head of pediatric surgery, has been with the hospital since his internship and doesn't plan on going anywhere. He and Annabeth are OBVIOUSLY the Merder of this world. I don't make the rules.
PIPER, cardio attending and is best at what she does. Her and Leo came in in their third year of residency together and are thick as thieves. They also, by Grey's law, definitely have slept together on more than one occasion. I'm think a Mark Sloan/Callie Torres type vibe.
LEO, head of orthopedics. It just makes sense I'm sorry. He USED to be the hospital playboy but then he had his ace-aro awakening and now he's just some fucking guy.
WILL, ortho fellow. Is known to take on the grodiest most traumatic cases ortho can find along with Leo. If Leo's diving in the deep and, Will's going with him baby.
CALYPSO, Everyone's favorite scrub nurse. She's just here to for support but also does cuss out the doctors when they start bickering over an open body
NICO, first year resident, but shows special interest in neuro surgery. Works closely with Jason.
JASON, head of neuro. Nico's his little guy who he picked up on accident. Sometimes (a lot of the time) Frank will schedule Nico to other attendings and both will throw a fit.
FRANK, chief resident! He shows interest in plastics, but he's damned good at his job. Everyone jokes that Annabeth is molding him to be the next chief.
HAZEL, general fellow. She likes to be everywhere doing everything, she likes to jump in when needed. She's also known to help Frank with his chief resident duties.
THALIA, neuro attending She and Jason are like the Shepherds of the hospital, but gender swapped. THALIA stepped down as chief of neuro once Jason wanted the position, but they regularly get in pissing matches over good cases.
MEG, littol baby intern. She's like, on her third day on the job if that. Percy's taken a liking to her, so she gets a lot of peds cases but she will venture very openly throughout the hospital and the specialties.
LESTER, repeat intern :// cringe fail of him.
REYNA, head of trauma. She's a vet who's trained for field surgery but came back and started working as a civilian doctor again (think Owen Hunt) (If you have a bad word to say about that man, this is NOT the place for you. We are PRO Owen Hunt). Her and Thalia are fucking besties. Cristina and Meredith type beat. Twisted sisters.
GROVER, peds attending. He's one of those characters like Olivia in the early seasons or Ross and Heather in that intern cycle that is like, an established guy with established lore and an arc, but just had one arc and still comes on from time to time to help drive a narrative.

Hi Ammol!
Since you've mentioned loving Grey's anatomy I wanted to ask you about something.
What do you think ot Cristina and Owen as a couple?
Personally I'm hating them together, especially since Owen isn't trying to see Cristina for who she is ( not wanting kids or not wanting to be a mother).
Seeing Cristina telling him all that and him reacting by saying "You might change ur opinion" is such a jerk move. Its one of the tropes I hate most cuz it invalidates aro and ace ppl esp when said ppl don't want kids.
(Its a personal headcanon of mine that Cristina is on the aromantic spectrum).
Ngl I've never seen the appeal of Hunt as a character.
Hi!!!
Ooo you want me to talk about Owen??? You’ve unlocked a rant.
Owen had the potential to be a great character - obscure, military background, a little badass in his initial debut to the show, the slightly dismissive attitude was kinda enticing at first but boy did it go downhill real quick.
I can’t fault him on his ptsd related issues because he was in a war after all and mental health is a thing we care about, but the rest of his ideals and treatment of Christina??? No. She deserves better than Owen.
Christina has already been through the spiel with Burke. Big macho man who falls in love with a dominant woman but then expect her to change. It’s ridiculous!! I also see Christina as being aro/ace or at least someone who needs to form deep connections before falling in love / becoming romantically involved, and it’s such a shame that she was robbed of that as soon as she starts to get comfortable.
She loved Burke through his hand troubles and Owen through his PTSD but they both want her / expect her to change and it’s so unfair. I don’t know far you are into their relationship but boy does it get worse and you will absolutely want to destroy Owen and you are 10000% valid for it.
I do wish they had gone in the original sexy charismatic version I thought we were gonna get, just for the sake of seeing Christina actually be accepted by someone who wasnt waiting for her to give in to her ‘natural biological urges’ and was willing to give her unconditional love as a career driven, self loving, independent and child free woman who still loved so so deeply. She is literally such a caring person, you can see it in her love for Meredith, the way she interacts with the others, she may be a hard ass on the surface but Christina Yang is capable of true love and I will live and die by the fact that her and Meredith are soulmates and Meredith is probably the only one who will ever truly accept Christina as she is.
So yeah - Owen Hunt, I hate him too and this is a Hunt hating friendly space. I also believe that if they let him keep his Scottish accent it would have made his character more likeable because why not!!
Feel free to let me know how far you are in the show so I don’t give spoilers and I will happily rant some more - for instance, have you met Teddy Altman yet?? There’s so much to unpack there

Grey's Anatomy: When I Get to the Border (19x05)
Well then, I guess we know why Meredith won't be around much for the rest of the season!
Cons:
This episode was odd, it felt like an outlier that arrested the progress of certain key arcs. This was the first episode all season where I felt kind of "meh" about the new interns, and that's because we spent all our time focusing on Lucas Adams, and how his co-workers think he and Amelia are sleeping together. I thought that a was funny and potentially dramatic little wrench to put into the works when it first happened, the classic lie that grows out of control. But now we've got this whole thing where it's tied up in Lucas being a disappointment to his family and trying to stake out his own identity... and I'm just kind of bored with it all. What's going to happen when the others learn that he's Amelia's nephew? Well, nothing much, probably. They'll all judge and/or shun him for being a legacy kid, instead of for sleeping with an attending. Who cares.
Catherine Fox has never been a favorite of mine. When I saw that Jackson and Tom Koracick (my beloved fave) were going to be in this episode, I got really excited. But Tom's entire purpose was to talk to Catherine about her cancer, which has come back and is probably going to kill her this time around. I don't dislike Catherine to the point of wishing for her death, but god am I sick of the back and forth on this. She's had cancer for years now, we're constantly waiting to see if this is when she'll finally succumb to it. Can we not give Richard a break? He's lost every woman he's ever loved to sickness. I'm getting tired of this.
Also, I rather like the Zola and Meredith stuff, I don't actually have a problem with it in concept, but I do find it odd that the entirety of last season was this big will-she-won't-she game for Meredith about whether or not she'd move away from Seattle. And then the answer was "no". And now the answer is "yes", but for an entirely new reason that was just sprung on us a couple episodes ago. I don't know, it just feels weird from a pacing point of view. At the same time, I'm grateful I didn't have to hang out with Mr. Boring Nick this week, so whatever.
Pros:
Despite being sort of annoyed about Catherine, I was still really delighted to see my guy Tom Koracick. I don't know why I love him so much, I think he's just so... different from any other character they've ever had on the show, in this undefinable way. I find the performance to be charismatic and complex, I think he's funny, and I think he and Teddy would have been a way better relationship than anything she's ever had with Owen. (As a bonus "pro" of this episode, there were no Teddy and Owen scenes to suffer through. Huzzah!)
I liked seeing Zola light up with interest and joy at being exposed to a more gifted student environment. But I also liked how she was worried that it wouldn't be a cure-all to their problems. What if they move to Boston, and Zola keeps having panic attacks? Meredith is a good mom, telling her that she's extraordinary no matter what, and that she doesn't have to worry about all the what ifs. She wants to move here and go to this school, and Meredith is going to make that happen for her kid. We're really hammering it home that Meredith is being the mother for her own children that she never got to have with Ellis.
In conversations with Jackson, we also give Meredith another super compelling reason to move, and that's Jackson's research money that might lead to some innovative new opportunities in hunting for a  Alzheimer's cure. I really like this for her character, it seems like an appropriate way of sending her off for a time, kind of like how they wrote off Cristina to explore future scientific advancements overseas. If we can't have Meredith around, this feels like an okay way to lose her for a while. I like that as a direct counterpoint to the way her mother behaved, we see Meredith moving heaven and earth to be there for her daughter and make sure Zola is being cared for. But her identity as a doctor isn't erased either.
The other big plot thread of this episode was extremely heavy, and also heavy-handed, but I think it still worked beautifully. We see Addison and Bailey volunteering to help at a reproductive health clinic. They are tasked with picking someone up from across the border into Idaho where the rules are a little more questionable, to assist with terminating an ectopic pregnancy. On the way back, the woman begins bleeding profusely, the ambulance is stuck because of a traffic jam and does not arrive, and the pregnant mother of a young girl, who was hoping for another child, dies tragically. All because her OBGYN wouldn't treat her, for fear of breaking the law by ending a pregnancy.
Obviously this episode is preaching to the choir in terms of how I already feel about abortion and reproductive health care in general, but I do think it's important to show this kind of story, to acknowledge the full horror of what's happening in our country right now. They show Bailey and Addison as incredibly compassionate, skilled medical professionals who are always excited and eager to help people through their wanted pregnancies, but who also have no qualms about the moral rightness of a person's right to make their own decisions. It's simple, or at least it really ought to be. And it was brutal, watching this woman talk about all the things in her daughter's life that she didn't want to miss, listing out the fullness of experience that she will now miss getting to see. It was an abject tragedy, and I really felt the weight of it.
So that's all for now: next week we're already at the mid-season finale of Grey's, apparently. That came really quickly! I hope we get to check in with Schmitt, I missed him this week. I hope we do not get to check in with Teddy and Owen, unless we get an update on Leo. Where are the kids, anyway?

Resistance - Evol: Chapter 29 - No matter what happens
“This will hurt a little.” He warned, gently pressing the gauze pad with Betadine on my cut. “Let me know if I’m pressing too hard.”
I nodded in silence, enduring the sharp sting on my hand as he applied the antiseptic. I couldn’t even face him, ashamed of my meltdown. Not long before, I had left him. I had rejected him, blamed him for his past, when mine was even worse. He was the one that had every reason to want to be away from me. And still, he was tending to my cut, his white shirt stained with my blood and tears.
“You should’ve known better than to pick up the shards.” He scolded me.
I nodded again, resigned, taking whatever backlash he had saved for me. I had been a coward. I still wasn't sure if I was one for trying to take my life or for not going through with it. He let out a tired sigh.
“I’m sorry. I’m not very good at this.”
I felt despicable. Not only was I keeping very important secrets from him and adding to his burden with my problems, but now I was making him feel guilty and inadequate. I held his shoulder with my left hand.
“You’re doing great.” I managed to speak through the lump in my throat. “Thank you for doing this.”
“You don’t need to thank me for any of it.”
He looked me in the eyes. I could see an ocean of sadness in that beautiful gray.
The sounds of the outside world trickled into our silent conversation: A door opening, followed by children’s laughter. My brother’s voice fooling around soon followed.
“They’re here.” I jumped from the bed. “And Cristina is here with the kids too. They can’t see-”
“Go greet them downstairs.” Victor got up as well, his poker face on. “I’ll clean it up.”
I looked myself in the mirror. My eyes were puffy, my makeup was a mess, and there was a large bandage on my hand. I tried my best to clean the smudged mascara, hoping a little attitude would help cover up.
“Hey, Bug!” I opened my arms as I reach downstairs, welcoming him into a hug. “Oh God, I missed you so much!” I squeezed him in my arms. “How was your day?”
“We went to the Science Museum!” He practically shone as he spoke. “We made a lot of cool experiments, learned about insects and smaller organisms, and we got to pet a dog!”
“A dog?” I smiled, confused.
“It belonged to an old lady we came across on the street, but the dog was nice, and she let us pet him.” He looked down. “What happened to your hand?”
“Just a minor accident, nothing serious.”
“Dad?” Owen looked behind me. “Dad!”
Victor barely had the time to lift the towel he was holding before Owen wrapped his arms around his waist.
“Careful, this is sharp, it can hurt you.” He put the towel full of mirror shards on the counter, kneeling to hug his son. “And I should wash my hands too, I must have glass dust on me. But I think one hug won’t be a problem.”
“I didn’t know you were here!” Owen walked around his father, as he dumped the towel in the trash. “Aunt Cristina took me and Ana to the science museum, I was going to tell you all about it when I called you tonight.”
“Was that the bathroom mirror?” Josh pulled me aside, whispering to me. “What happened? I told Dad he shouldn’t have let you come with him, what did he do to you?”
“He did nothing to me.” I pulled him to the greenhouse before he remembered to go throw punches. “He was there for me, he bandaged my hand.”
“Stop defending him! I know Mom was up to something, this feels like Daniel all over again.” Josh gritted between his teeth. “And if he hurt you in any way, Tiny, I swear to God-”
“Quit being a twat, he’s not Daniel!” I smacked him with my left hand. “This is nothing like Daniel, Josh… He is a good man, he’s nothing like him. If anything, in this situation, I’m Daniel.”
“Andy, no, don’t say that…”
“I am.” I looked him in the eyes. “I’m the one hurting him, not the other way around. I’m the toxic one. He’s better off without me, trust me. Actually, everyone is.”
“That can’t be true…” Josh half smiled at me. “Andy, what happened on that island? Is it still your illness, you’re pushing him away because you are dying, is that it?” He looked at me with tears in his eyes. “Tell me, are you?”
I remembered having the weight of impending death on my shoulders, the fear of what and who I would leave behind. Those days felt so simple now.
“No, it’s all under control.” I gave him a weak reassuring smile. “I’m not dying.”
“Then what’s happening, Andrea?” He almost pleaded.
“Where’s Vó Bia? And Dad, for that matter?”
“Vó Bia didn’t want to stay for lunch, she drove back north with the uncles.” Josh shrugged, resigned with my non-answer. “Dad said he wanted to lie down when we were in the car, I guess that’s where he went.”
“It’s almost noon, these people will want to eat.” I walked towards the kitchen. “I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about me.”
“You’re really not going to tell me?” Josh stood in place, a hurt look on his face. “Your own brother?”
“There’s nothing to tell, Josh. People die, marriages end.” I smiled weakly at him. “And we move on.”
I found Victor in the kitchen, wearing an apron, cutting vegetables for lunch. Cristina was beside him, yammering about everything they had seen at the science museum, almost as excited as the kids. Beneath her loose shirt, one could tell a baby bump starting to show. I noticed my father looking at it, sitting by the kitchen island, an empty glass and a bottle of whiskey beside him.
“Undecided?” I sat beside him.
“Your mother wouldn’t let me drink before noon. Today is about her, I should respect her wishes.”
“Do I have to respect her wishes?” I took a glass from the cabinet, taking the bottle to myself.
“No alcohol before lunch.” Victor casually took the bottle away. Like a devoted husband. Like we were still together. I didn’t argue back. That small familiar gesture, that little piece of warmth, it brought me comfort. A reminder of happier days.
It’s weird how the lack of one can make a whole place feel empty, no matter how many people are in it. And I guess everyone could feel that emptiness because they let it be filled with silence, each one of us lost in our own thoughts. I left the kitchen and went to the room that led to the greenhouse, where my piano was. I sat at it, noticing how empty the straw chair beside it looked. The chair where she sat.
Play that one I like.
Tiny Dancer, an Elton John song. Actually, my love for Elton John and his prowess at the piano came from her, and from how happy she looked whenever I played his songs. I opened the piano lid slowly, tracing the keys with the tip of my fingers. I had been feeling so lost lately, maybe the music would remind me of who I was. But that seemed to be long gone. I couldn’t make a sound of it.
“Undecided?” I heard my father speak from behind me.
“Something like that.” I closed the piano lid. He sat in my mother’s chair.
“Your husband is here.” He whispered softly, smiling at me.
“You called him, didn’t you?” I gave him an accusatory look.
“He called me, asking for permission to come. I said that, as always, he would be welcomed into my home as one of my own children. And now he’s making us lunch.”
“Yes.” I smiled briefly, looking at the door. For someone whose life was practically spent bossing others around, it was uncanny how Victor understood the value of these little acts of service, and how willing he always was to do them.
“And for the first time since you got here, the shadow in your eyes is gone.”
“Dad…”
“Victor told me he would be returning to Loveland tomorrow morning. Maybe he could give you a ride home.”
“You need me here.”
“Your family needs you more, Andrea. You should be with them.” My father raised his hand, preventing me from retorting. “Don’t worry about this old geezer, he’ll get back on track eventually. We all must move on with our lives, that’s what your mother would’ve wanted.”
“I’m not leaving you alone.”
My father looked down, letting out a heavy sigh.
“Your mother was always better at this than me. But she’s not here, so I guess I’ll have to do her job. I don’t know what happened between you two, but by the way you were holding hands at the funeral, it can’t be that bad. I know every marriage has its problems, and some do seem unsurmountable, but you know what is harder than marriage? To lose the one you’re married to.”
I looked down, feeling somewhat ashamed. But then again, my father didn’t know what he was talking about. I have to admit that I had considered going back, after that kiss in the kitchen. But now that I knew what I was up against, I couldn’t involve him again. Victor deserved to live a long happy life with his son. Even if that meant without me.
“Thanks, Dad.” I nodded to my father, getting up from my piano.
“Promise me you won’t throw your life away.” He held my hand, stopping me for a moment. “No matter how bad it looks, you two can work it out. Don’t give up on your happiness just yet.”
My father’s words were sweet and hopeful, but the reality was that there was no happiness to look forward to. I had changed, life had changed, so dramatically it was impossible to go back to where I had come. The best I could do was to leave my past silently, leave the people I love basking in the safety of it, and face my future alone. Owen would have a family, Victor would too. 
That was worth any sacrifice.
“Who do you think the most resilient creature is?” Owen asked as I tucked him in.
“Hmmm, I would say cockroaches.” I caressed his curls. “They can survive nuclear explosions, and will survive for days with their heads cut off.”
“Wrong.” He made a playful face. “It’s the tardigrade. Let me show you.”
He opened the book he brought from the museum, showing me a picture of a small gray creature, almost looking like a cute caterpillar with legs.
“That little fellow?”
“They are also called water bears, because they are aquatic creatures. But they can survive the harshest conditions, even in outer space. They make a glass cocoon around them and get into a sort of coma, and they can remain like that for nearly thirty years.”
“That is kind of cool.” I smiled. 
“Sort of.” He shrugged.
“What?” I nudged him. “I think anyone would like to be able to protect themselves from danger in case of it.”
“Well, yes.” Owen stared at his book. “The glass protects them, but it also keeps other things away. If they surround them self with glass, how can they be with the other tardigrades? They must feel lonely.”
I remembered that night in the hotel room in Kehpui, Victor telling me how keeping his Evol a secret had left him to a life of solitude, a life he chose to endure for the sake of protecting the ones he loved. Including me. During the years we’d been together, all the pain that his past brought him, or most of it anyway, he felt it alone, so he wouldn’t burden me. So he would keep me safe.
Now that I was in his shoes, I understood perfectly why he had done it. And watching him be so strong in it all, and at the same time so kind, made me love him even more. Along with that love grew the resolve to return his favour in kind, by keeping the pain all to myself to protect him.
We kissed our son goodnight and left the room. Victor took his jacket, slowly walking to the front door.
“You could come with us.” He glanced behind as he walked. “The jet is big enough for three.”
“My father needs me.” I felt my heart tighten. “Thanks for coming. And for the cooking. And for taking care of us. Of me.”
“I told you, you don’t need to thank me for any of those things.” His eyes lingered on mine for a moment. “Good night. Get some rest.”
I watched him turn to the door and take the handle, turning it. Each second that passed was pure agony. I wasn’t sure if I would see Victor again.
“Come have a drink with me.” He suddenly turned, taking a deep breath.
“Sure, I’ll stay a while longer.” My heart beated faster. “I can pour you a drink.”
“Do you mind if we go somewhere else?”
I instinctively looked backwards, unsure of what to do.
“Owen is safe, your father will keep an eye on him.” Victor argued. “I don’t know when you will return to Loveland, and…” He swallowed. “We need to talk.”
That was my chance to give him closure. Maybe if I put the cards on the table, if I told him I had no intention of going back… Maybe he could rebuild a life without me. Without the hope of having me back. I let him call the car and drive us to the city. I recognized the hotel the moment the car parked.
It was the same room, with the same illuminated patio from years ago. From the day I defended my thesis, the day I introduced him to my family. It was the same bed where we had made love, on the day he gave me my bracelet, where I would keep collecting memories of us together. I brought my left hand to my wrist, turning it softly.
“I remember the last time we were here.” He smiled casually, pouring both of us some brandy. “You were so happy. I was so proud of you. I had been on edge all morning, wondering if you would like to see me in that auditorium, if I was imposing by practically forcing you to introduce me to your family. Wondering what they would think of me.”
“They loved you.”
“That was also the day when I gave you your bracelet.” He pointed at my wrist. “I didn’t have the nerve to tell you back then, but the V did stand for my name. I figured that if you were willing to wear it, that would mean… That you were willing to be mine.”
Each and every charm on that bracelet was a testament of our lives together, our commitment to each other. Every step we had taken together, big or small, was somehow represented in one of the ornaments. The bracelet was still half empty, waiting for more charms to come. I mentally mourned for the space that wouldn’t be filled, the moments we wouldn't live, yet promising myself that I would never take it off, even after we parted. Goodbye is hurtful, but it doesn't erase what once was lived.
“I have never seen you without it ever since. The only time you were without it was because I had to take it off…” His throat tightened. “The day you fell into that coma and had to be hospitalized.”
He took a long sip of his brandy, placing the glass on the wooden table with a thump.
“I have gone through many hardships in my life. Things that changed me, things that scarred me for life. But I have to confess, the hardest one of all…” His eyes turned red. “Was to hold you in my arms, waiting for you to give your last breath. Knowing I was going to lose you.”
“Victor…”
“For some reason, I didn’t. I still don’t know what happened, but I was given the chance to see you smile again, to have you in my arms again. I know what it’s like to lose you. I will not go through that again.”
“No, please. Don’t do this.”
“I know how much I hurt you. I know I broke your trust. And I had dreaded the day I would tell you ever since I fell in love with you, because I knew it would change how you perceive me, and perhaps what you feel about me.”
“This is not about you.”
“No, it’s about us.” He walked towards me. “With the Evols coming back, change was inevitable. I changed, you changed, even your past has changed right in front of your eyes. The people you knew became someone else, and you had to deal with things you couldn’t possibly grasp in one night. It is only natural you feel confused. And that’s why I watched you leave. Because I hoped that, if you returned, it would be with a renewed confidence in us. I must admit my fate had faltered, but my heart never did.”
“You talk about it like it was just some bump in the road.”
“And isn’t it?” His eyes searched for mine. “Some couples have money problems, some others have loyalty issues, we have our baggage. I have my fears, you have yours. But that doesn’t mean we can’t solve them.”
“How? How do we solve them?” I raised my voice in frustration. “You have said it yourself, everything changed! And I really wish we could go back, but we can’t. We made an impossible promise to keep, Victor. We can’t always be the same people. I have-”
With a decided step towards me, he took me in his arms and pressed his lips into mine. And with a single gesture, in one split second, all my reasoning fell through, my glass encasing broke, and I was again exposed to the elements. But with his arm around my waist, I didn’t feel any fear. With his hand threading my hair, I felt like I belonged somewhere. With his lips, he was leading me back home. He broke the kiss softly, watching me carefully, like he was reading my bare soul. And I had no choice but to let him.
“This hasn’t changed.” His fingertips moved softly on my cheek. “What I feel about you hasn’t changed, even if we have.” He blinked slowly, like he usually did when he needed to focus. “But if you feel like the change is so great that we can't move past it, tell me now. Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t want this, and I’ll let you go.”
Fear tugged at my heart again, telling me the exit was the best way to go. Without me, he and Owen would be safe. He wouldn’t need to relive the trauma of his past. Owen could grow up happy and protected. I looked him in the eyes, decided to tell him it was over. But as I saw what was in them, the love, the longing, the softness… I couldn’t say a word.
“You owe me nothing, Andrea, except for the truth.” He insisted, his heart beating so fast I could see it pulse in his neck. “If the divorce is what you really want, I will give it to you.”
I held my gaze in his, preparing myself to unleash the lie.
“I…” I faltered.
“The truth, Andrea. No matter how painful it is. That’s all I ask of you.” He pleaded with a pained expression. “What do you want?” He wasn’t sure of what I was going to say. He was expecting me to reject him.
And how much easier would that be, to just pull the bandaid and let him lick the wounds I had inflicted, hoping he would bounce back eventually, maybe find love again, lead a simpler life without Black Swan and roles and dangers or expectations? But he was not asking for me to stay. He was asking for the truth. And my heart was screaming it.
“I want you.” I blinked away the tears I was fighting so hard to hold back. “But I’m scared.”
His eyes lit up.
“Scared of what?”
“Hurting you. Being unworthy.”
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his thumb wiping a tear from my cheek.
“Idiot.” He croaked.
Scared was an understatement. I was terrified. But most of all, I wanted to believe. With him, everything made sense, I felt like I belonged, that I could undertake whatever challenge life threw at me. I was safe. So when his lips grazed mine, I selfishly chased that feeling and deepened the kiss. And from that moment on, our bodies did all the talking. 
His hand held the back of my head, sliding down my spine, pulling me closer to him. His tongue, tender but probing, taking all he could get and I was willing to give. I wrapped my arms around his neck, not wanting to lose one inch of proximity, instinctively wrapping my legs around his waist as he pulled me up and carried me to his hotel bedroom.
Yes, this was where I belonged, and there was no other place I’d rather be. However, I was keeping secrets from him, and it wasn’t fair to just let things roll without him knowing the whole truth. 
About who I was. And what I’ve done.
“Victor…” I pushed away weakly.
“Mmm?” He mumbled as he nibbled my ear. I almost lost my nerve to speak.
“No, wait.” I shivered as he trailed kisses down my neck. “Victor, we need to stop.”
He froze, lifting his head to look at me, a hurt look in his eyes.
“I’m yours.” I caressed his cheek, trying to smile as my eyes filled with tears. “I want to try, that hasn’t changed.”
“Then what?” He frowned.
“If we are going to do this, it has to be all cards on the table.” I took a deep breath. “We need to talk.”

18.19 grey’s anatomy *spoilers* reactions/opinions:
Winston, don't you DARE make that comment- spoke too late
why Grey's did you have to make Todd "weird"! he and Jo would've been good together...ugh
OKAY Link bugging Jo is such a FRIENDS thing. THIS IS WHY THEY ARE BETTER AS BEST FRIENDS
I knew that someone was gonna threaten Owen eventually. he's trying to do good but like-
I'm sorry, why can sexually active gay men not donate blood?
Simon! NO!
These patients are breaking my heart yet I'm watching Grey's Anatomy so idk why I expected something different
John is gonna go fuck some shit up y'all (sorry, mind my language)
Meredith and Nick are gonna be murdered by Richard
Link never saw Scout screaming his lungs out for the first time but ok-
Levi, honey, you are amazing
JOHN DO NOT RAT OUT OWEN AND TEDDY
still mad they decided to ruin Todd
"maybe we got married too quickly" DAMN MAGGIE WAY TO PUNCH WINSTON IN THE GUT
Teddy has never been a favourite of mine but her words to Owen in the attendings lounge were powerful and istg Owen you better listen
Ellis leave please thank you! you got washed down the OR sink for a reason
NOT THE BLOOD UH OH
JACKSON'S BACK AND APRIL AND HARRIET OMG
Travis yelling about gay men rallying and having dance parties for blood donation was beautiful. HOMOPHOBIA NEEDS TO DIE
IZZY? CRISTINA? WHAT IS THIS EPISODE?
rest under the cut cause it's a 2 hour episode!
I hope April wore comfy shoes lol
I totally understand why Bailey is upset. I get it. But I also understand why Owen (and Teddy) are trying to fight for their cause. So this whole conversation is hurting me
Amelia and April rarely have scenes together so I am so thankful they get a chance to bond in this episode!
Richard stop it right now. Ellis would NOT be proud of you ever so shut the hell up
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE DOCTORS CHOOSE BETWEEN SIMON OR KRISTEN I'M GONNA CRY
Nick did you really just undermine Mer and offend her all at once? Go away
Thank you Bailey for doing the right thing from your position. Teddy, Owen, Leo and Allison will be together because of your kindness
Please let the baby make it to Simon before he dies unlike how Sophia was unable to reach Mark before he died...oh thank god. aside, the baby is a little scary (yes I know it's fake)
Amelia just lost Owen again but I hope to god that they will be back, and Teddy too
"I will fight this hateful, stupid rule with you Schmidt" (Bailey) - "yes queen" (Perez)
Link and Amelia got their closure. Even though Link drove me nuts this season, at least he and Amelia can co-parent peacefully and love their child together
Can't believe we're losing Levi, Perez, Helm and the other residents. My heart
Oh god thank goodness Winston and Maggie are making up
LINK DON'T YOU- Jo you saved me from screaming I appreciate it. Encanto and the friendzone, I can deal with!
Okay hold up, Bailey QUITS but now she and Jackson expect Mer to just come back and "save the program"? That's so much pressure on poor Meredith! Pru is so cute though
JAPRIL KISS IN THE ELEVATOR YES YES YES
KAIMELIA KISS IN THE PARKING LOT? OMG BACK TO BACK HAPPY ENDINGS
Nvm, happy endings for everyone except Meredith, who has given up so much. Honestly I feel really bad for her and I hope that s19 brings her a little comfort.
this montage! ALEX! LEXIE! CALLIE AND ARIZONA! CRISTINA! MARK! DEREK! 007...the list goes on. 400 episodes guys, wow.
proud to say i've now see all 400 episodes. some once, some twenty times. no matter how long this damn show goes on for, i will always be grateful for the memories and the laughter and the tears.
