Make it make sense,

I’m gonna give my opinion on some major deaths on Grey’s Anatomy because I am pissed about DeLuca.

10-makes sense;

5- wether they were alive or dead the story wouldn't have been affected;

1-thanks for the shock value buddy, you a bad storyteller;

Thatcher Grey 7/10

By the time when he died, Meredith was done with needing him. It was a death that finished her storyline with her father, which had been finished for a long while. It was a death that showed more Meredith's development than anything else.

Ellis Grey 6/10

One lives, one dies. It’s not a bad end, but it was a wasted death. There was still much to be explored in their relationship.

Adele Webber 9/10

For Richard to move on, it made sense; they had explored a lot of their past relationship by that point and she had moved on from him. Divorcing a sick woman would have just been cruel on Richard’s part and would’ve made him look like a dick.

Doc the Dog- -1/10

Undeserved, he was the goodest of boys

Henry Burton 8/10

Teddy’s husband was a sweetheart and they could have done a lot more with him, but that would have meant him working in the hospital and since he hadn’t any degree related to a medical field it made sense. I wish it didn’t, because I really loved him. His death also gave a new dynamic to Teddy’s relationship with both Owen and Cristina

Reed Adamson & Dr. Charles Percy 7/10

It was a mass shooting, people die. Here the writers really had a free for all on who they wanted to axe. Reed’s death was better than Percy’s.

Denny Duquette 9/10

It had repercussions on the story. I wished he would've lived and he was always fun on the screen, but yes, it makes sense.

Dylan Young 0/10

The bomb was out. Severd no purpose, other than to have George's weird sex dream realised in a fucked up way. Really the guy deserved to live

George O’Malley 4/10

He really could have just left. Sure, it was emotional and it was a big loss, but really he could've just left.

Dr. Craig Thomas 3/10

He was old, okay. Did he really need to die? No. He was a wonderful man that would've helped Cristina realise that returning to Sloan-Grey was the right move.

Derek Shepard 10/10

Derek was toxic, he sure as hell was and I loved the man either way, but without a complete character assasination him leaving the show would have made no sense.

Mark Sloan 3/10 & Lexie Grey 2/10

I'm grouping them because their deaths happened in close proximity, but something could have been invented for them to move in. Not even Sophia would've been an issue.

Samuel Norbert Avery 2/10

I'm giving it this grade because it led to that whole Maggie/Jackson nonsense. It was badly done on the long run.

Heather Brooks 1/10

-she was a good kid and the way she died was mean and just for shock value.

Paul Stadler-Jo’s ex husband 5/10

I get no one wanted to write an episode where Jo goes to court but and drag out the story some more but I would've liked it to be done.

Andrew DeLuca -10/10

Like George, he could've just left. He was one of my favorite characters so I'm extra salty about it and I went into it in another post.

Alex Karev's entire story ark -3/10

Here is a character whose death would have made more sense. What were they smoking in the writer's room when they came up with this, because I'm pretty sure it was expired.

Mark and Lexie Season 7 thoughts

This article? Essay? Rant? Will explore how Lexie and Mark should have gotten back together /stayed together in Season 7-8, given the underlying reasons for their break up, focusing on Mark's responce to the situation. Mark and Lexie are, and should have properly been, endgame.

Why they broke up was kinda stupid- but not stupid writting, stupid of Mark. The problems they faced were overcomable, given the will to do so and sufficient effort being put in to any potential solution.

Because while yes, the reason for a lot of there problems was being at different stages in thier life, wich can't be helped in there age gap, and yes, there are obvious ways round that (wich is fustrating writing given thier popularity in the fandom and obvious love for each other), there is a deeper problem. Lexie actually points this out herself, that Mark isn't properly considering her. He's too focused on his life dreams (marriage and kids, a family, preferably with Lexie) and sees Lexies desires - to not mary or have kids YET - as an obstacle she should overcome for him.

While in reality, what Mark needs to do is find a compromise that accomadates NOT dismisses Lexie. If he dissmisses her wants and dreams, she's going to have to break up with him, and I admire her strength in doing so.

The second time they were in the 'Mark has a kid he wants to raise but Lexie isn't ready to have a family' situation, he should have learnt from his mistakes outlined above. He could do this by making sure that when he told Lexie, he would also say that he fully intends to respect her desires and goals, and is willing to work towards an arrangement that suits her. The second time this situation happens, the ball is really in Marks court as it is he who ignored Lexie's wishes the first time around.

(that first time perhaps Lexie could have also presented a compromise, but ultimately it would be Mark that had to agree and be willing to have a modified version of his ultimate dream, marriage and kids with Lexie, for now)

A few possible solutions that Mark should have presented to Lexie:

Lexie moves out of his house (she only moved back in a short time ago, if she actually did, it's unclear) and they date, she can stay over on days when Sofia is with her mums in thier house.

Mark lives part time with Lexie, and part time with Sofia's mums. Sofia is always at Callie and Arizona's, Mark can pop over whenever.

Lexie and Mark stay together, Lexie takes on a Cool Aunt kinda role where she is not a parent, doesn't have childcare responsibilities and/or doesn't live in the flat with baby.

These kind of arrangements/compromises are possible in Mark and Lexie's relationship, due to how much they love each other, and how sure Mark is that Lexie is the one for him. They would both be willing to inconvenience themselves for the other and put in the effort to maintain a solution that works for both. This is providing that Mark releases that this is what he needs to do to save the relationship and thus does not continue, as he does in the show, to expect Lexie to either conform to his ideas and wishes of to leave him completely.

In conclusion, Lexie and Mark should have stayed together/gotten back together again. Just because your patners a parent doesn't mean you have to be, BUT all this takes Mark actually acknowledging and accomadating Lexie and her situation.

Everyone in the tua fandom being like “the sparrows deserved better 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔 we deserved to see more of them 🤧🤧🤧🤧”, meanwhile, I couldn’t care less about them because they were plot devices and I’m happy most of them were gone before half of the season because the idea of them getting more screentime than the umbrellas was my biggest fear before s3

#obviously with the exception of Ben and Sloane #and Marcus he genuinely deserved better and he was the one i was most excited to know (besides Sloane!

Allison Hargreeves is being unfairly vilified?

Allison Hargreeves as in 'SA'd Luther' Allison Hargreeves? Allison Hargreeves as in 'confirmed Viktor's worst ongoing fears and anxieties just because Viktor was grieving his friend/stepson and it annoyed her' Allison Hargreeves? Allison Hargreeves 'contributed to the deaths of two of her siblings' Allison Hargreeves? Allison Hargreeves 'nothing anyone else has lost over the course of this nightmare matters as much as what I lost so I'm gonna fuck everything up potentially irreparably' Allison Hargreeves?

That Allison Hargreeves? I mean don't get me wrong I like her but she's very much a villain right now. She's an interesting villain, a compelling villain, a better villain than Reggie since we actually know wtf her problem is and we wish things hadn't turned out this way. But a villain all the same.

i don't think allison is a villain. at best, i'd say she's an antihero. at worst, she was a catalyst for viktor's arc in season three.

i would like to start by saying that i'm not defending allison's actions. i think what she did was wrong. however, i don't think she deserves all the hate that she's gotten. she's a character that is very morally gray, and people continue to paint her in solely black or white.

what i try to convey in this... very long post is that there's a reason for what allison does in season three. the question of if she’s a villain or not can be debated, but i believe that the reasons for her actions don’t make her a villain.

a big reason why the umbrella academy is such an incredible show is that all the umbrellas are flawed and nuanced, and despite it all they love. all of the umbrellas have their faults, and allison is no different.

in season three allison has lost all hope. she thinks she will never see her child again, her husband is dead, the world is ending, and to her it seems like her siblings don't give a shit. amidst all the chaos and the whirlwind of her life, she needs something that she's used to. something she knows how to navigate.

so she turns to luther. and she gets the comfort she's looking for but it's not right.

allison and luther's relationship is something that has been a topic of many debates in this fandom. i don't really want to get into it right now, but they've always been a person of comfort to each other. allison wants to feel loved and cared for, and she thinks she can get that comfort from luther.

allison is naturally selfish. she's used to getting what she wants. she's used to having the world at her fingertips. and yet almost everything she's held close to her heart has been ripped away from her. and she's never getting it back.

in season three she falls back onto her old habits, rumoring people left and right with no consideration for others. it makes sense because it's the only way she knows how to get what she wants.

and then she rumors luther. she doesn't want to lose him either, and she thinks that he's choosing sloane over her (which is true, but she thinks he's leaving forever. she thinks she'll lose him too). but she almost instantly realizes what she's done, almost instantly tries to take it away.

as for her relationship with viktor, that's another can of worms. in season one, allison is the only one really trying to mend that relationship with viktor. but it's a rocky road. allison snaps at viktor, viktor snaps at allison. these two have had tension from the very start. eventually, that bond had to snap.

at the start of season three, viktor is the only one that really tries to help allison. he stands up for her, and comforts her after she returns from la. but by episode three allison is so consumed by her grief that she's already clashing with viktor.

and when harlan makes an appearance, it just gets worse. harlan is like a son to viktor. someone viktor can care for. and when viktor turns that care and attention away from allison and instead towards harlan, it hurts. why is viktor allowed to have his child when allison will never get to see claire again?

in season three luther tells viktor that allison has “always been good to you (viktor)”. but there comes a point where your love and gratitude towards someone can morph into bitterness and hate.

the reason i say allison is a catalyst for viktor in season three is because the writers needed someone to contest his ideas. someone that will create a struggle for viktor that he will ultimately come out of with a new lesson learned. and allison is a great contender for that position. the show needs conflict in order to have an engaging story at all, and tense relationships between the siblings can be seen throughout all three seasons. (luther and diego in season one, ben and klaus in season two)

as for the deaths of her siblings, do you really think she wanted that to happen? she doesn’t want to lose any more people, that’s the main driver of her character shift in this season.

allison turns towards reginald because she sees it as the only option left. klaus does the same thing, so why is it any different when allison does it? she didn’t know her siblings would die in the process.

allison isn’t even the only sibling that has contributed to a sibling’s (almost) death. viktor slashes her throat in season one, ben sacrifices himself to save the world, and luther willingly walks into the room to talk to reginald. how is that allison’s fault?

i think this is also why five gives his talk to viktor, not allison. he understands what allison is going through on some level, understands the despair of losing those who are close to you. understands being willing to do anything to get them back. even though he quite loudly disagrees with allison making a deal with reginald, it's because he knows she's getting tricked. reginald never had their best interests at heart.

they’ve all lost people, and they all react to that loss in different ways. in season 1, when diego finds that patch was killed, he instantly wants to go for revenge. he plans on going after hazel and cha cha but five inevitably talks him out of it.

allison doesn’t have that influence. in fact, diego suggests to instead let that grief out through anger. i don’t think it was a very good solution in the end.

and despite all that, she wants to redeem herself. she tries to tell viktor the truth, she admits that she made the plan for all of them. she kills reginald and she’s the one that pushes the button at the end of season three. there’s so much left that we don’t know. did allison know what would happen when she pressed the button? did she know what reginald’s real plan was?

but in the end, allison is the reality of a person who has lost those who are closest to her. it’s probably the best job the writers have done while showing trauma and grief. i don’t think allison is a villain, and i think that accusing her of solely caring about herself is unfair.

#went kinda off of the rails there but i have a lot of thoughts about her #and i’m tired of people continuing to say she’s a terrible person without looking at the reasons behind what she does #and i have a feeling that if any of the white and/or male characters did this you all would be jumping for joy because the writers #are finally acknowledging their trauma #anyways i currently have a cold so this might not make complete sense #the umbrella academy #tua #umbrella academy #allison hargreeves #my rambles

Better Late Than Never

Pairing: Alex Karev x Reader

Summary: After years of being gone, Alex makes his return to Grey Sloan Memorial.

Warnings: Mention of Jack Gibson and light cursing.

She's baaccckkk!!!

-----

“Dr. Y/L/N.”

“What is it Griffith?” The brunette looked up from the tablet in her hands to see the new intern smiling back at her and panting like she just ran two miles. Y/N cocked an eyebrow and the intern who seemingly forgot her reason for searching for the OBGYN in the first place.

“Oh! There’s a really handsome man looking for you. Well, I overheard him asking Dr. Hunt for you down in the pit but he got brushed off so I offered to bring him up but he said he knew this hospital like the back of his hand. Which is weird now that I think about it.” Griffith tilted her head to the side causing her curls to bounce on top of her head as she thought back to her interaction with the man.

“Did he give you a name?”

“I didn’t ask but he’s right-”

“Here.” For a second the doctor’s heart skipped a beat at the sound of a very familiar voice. A voice that she tried so hard to forget over the past couple years.

No no no, it can’t be him she thought.

“Y/N.”

“Griffith I need you run down to the lab to collect Mrs. Henry’s lab workup.” Alex hung his head and the intern could visibly see her superior trying her best to ignore the man that called out to her.

“Y/N you can’t igno-”

“Griffith-”

“On it.” The intern glanced between the pair before speed walking down the hall to the elevator. Alex sighed, he knew that she wasn’t going to be happy to see him but he didn’t expect her to ignore him either.

“Y/N please, can we talk?”

Rolling her eyes at him Y/N walked past him to go check on her patient but that only made him follow her. Alex securely took hold of her arm and pulled her into the nearest on-call room.

“Alex! What the hell?” Breaking away from him she wasted no time in putting as much distance between them as possible.

“Y/N I know you don’t want to see me especially after the way things ended between us but I just want to talk.”

“It’s been years since you left me to go back to Izzie and now you want to talk. Alex I’m only going to say this once, fuck you. I don’t want to hear a word coming out of your mouth because when you were supposed to talk to me you left. You took your things and took off leaving me a freaking letter filled with bullshit.” Alex listened to her release all her anger on him that she definitely had pent up over the years.

“I meant everything in that letter Y/N. I loved you and every single thing we had built together-”

“Oh please, you wouldn’t even know what love is even if it slapped you in the face Karev. If you had loved me, loved us and what we had, you wouldn’t have left. We would’ve come up with a way for you to meet your kids and be a part of their lives but you took off instead. You didn’t mention them to me, you just found out and left me in the dirt.” Hot tears pricked at her eyes as all the hurt, frustration and anger rushed to the surface but she’s not going to let them fall. Alex Karev didn’t deserve another tear of hers.

“You didn’t deserve that.”

“I didn’t deserve that but yet still you did that to me!” Alex felt a stabbing pain in his chest hearing and seeing how much pain, how much she’s hurting over the way he left. After all, they were three days away from getting married and starting a life together.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s a little too late for apologies.” A moment of silence fell over the room giving Y/N the time to get a hold of her emotions. Alex couldn’t help but take in her appearance after being away from her for years. He had to admit, her beauty never changed but the thing that struck him was the wedding band that she wore on her left hand.

“How are they?”

“Mhm?” Alex snapped back to reality at the sound of her voice.

“Your family, how are they?” She couldn’t help but to be curious about the kids and what they looked like. A smile graced his face at the thought of his kids back home.

“They’re good, the kids are growing nicely.”

“And Izzie, how is she?”

“We’re no longer together, we had gotten remarried and tried the whole apple pie family life but that only lasted for two years. I’m just sticking around for the sake of the kids.” His smile faltered, breaking that news to her. When he left he had hopes of working things out with Izzie and they did but it wasn’t the same and he knew that. He knew that his heart was back in Seattle with Y/N but he didn’t want to not be part of his children’s lives. Clearing his throat, he pointed to the rock that sat on her ring finger.

“You got married?”

“I did, I married Gibson” Y/N’s lips curled up into a smile at the thought of her husband Jack.

“Gibson from Station 19? Wow, okay.” Alex didn’t see that one coming, he stuffed his hands into his pockets as he continued.

“He uh- treating you right?”

“He is.”

“Good, good, you deserve it.” Y/N could see that he’s still wrapping his head around it and just as she was about to say something her pager went off.

“I have to go, they need me in the pit.” She brushed past him but stopped with her hand on the doorknob.

“Alex, although it took a while, thanks for finally coming to talk.”

“Better late than never, right?” The pair chuckled at that statement because it’s true. Now she was finally able to bury what they had.

“But I should get going, take care of yourself Karev.” Y/N opened the door and ran off leaving him in the cold room. Just as the door closed shut behind her, Alex found himself saying the three words that he wanted to tell her all along.

“I love you.”

Destiny: the year of Very Well Structured Things In Sets of 2

Defiance+Wish: The Sovs Mara and Crow, the Eliksni Misraaks and Eramis, and the Regular Ass Humans Devrim and Petra(PV counts as a regular-ass human she isn't a figure of prophecy or royalty in the reef she's a cop who's been promoted too much out of necessity)

Deep+Witch: The Truncated Heros Sloane and Eris, the Osmium OGs Xivu and Savathun, the Concerned Boss-Parents Zavala and Ikora, and the Wriggly Enablers Ahsa and Drifter (okay you got me) I mean the Nonhuman Guides Ahsa and Immaru

Lightfall: Osiris with no Sagira and Nimbus with no Rohan and Caiatl with no Recognizable Dad and the Witness with no Disciples and Chioma with no Maya and the Vex with no Chill the Living People of Neomuna with no Meatspace to live in. (The dreaming city curse will never end and the people on Neptune will never get to leave the matrix Im sorry but that's the way it is)

The story and themes for this year of Destiny are SO GOOD the writers have done SUCH A GOOD JOB. If making a tighter relationship between the expansion narrative and the seasonal narratives was one of the goals this year they fucking knocked it out of the park, I can't put any of these arcs into its own box because they have been knit together so sturdily. It's all one great narrative, one Very Big narrative, they haven't done it like this before!

(And Im so mad people couldnt stop shitting on Lightfall they are stoping themselves from seeing how good the WHOLE NARRATIVE IS they are probably gonna say come march/near TFS launch "uhh yeah the seasons were good i guees but maybe they shoulda worked harder on Lightfall I mean who even likes Nimbus" and for their Ignorance and Haterism I am sentencing them to reading part two of The Two Towers while they get attacked by Paper-Tube Ninjas and a broadcast system shouts at them 'YOU CANNOT HAVE THE VICTORIES IN RETURN OF THE KING IF FRODO AND SAM DIDNT KEEP WALKING ALL THE WAY TO MORDOR' for 100 hundred years.) (The link there is I didn't get the Point of that part of Two Towers when I first read it and assumed the whole would have been better without it. Obviously...I was wrong, and so are these clowns who think Lightfall has a bad story)

The name of the game this year is Resolution, Catharsis, Armistice, Acceptance. The structuring is so simple and so elegant and so well executed, the 2s, the 3s, the mirroring and the inverting and the unfathomable gloriousness of the victories personal and community and galaxy wide. There is no way to overstate the bitterness of Amanda's death, the relief of exhalation when Sloane retreats, the VINDICATION of Eris's vengeance.

You remember when Zavala 'discovered' Crow's former identity? How that was the crowning on-screen narrative jewel in destiny up to that point? What I am saying is EVERY ARC THIS YEAR IS AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN THAT BEAT AND DESERVES AS MUCH RECOGNITION FOR THE ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT OF SO MANY COMPLEMENTARY COMBOS PACKED INTO ONE EXPANSION STORY.

If Shadowkeep was the first sign of symptoms, if Beyond Light was trying to irradiate the disease, if Witch Queen was a tug of war with scar tissue, then Lightfall is the world after recovery and making peace with what will Never Be The Same, and the home and family that has been changed forever but is still Your Home and Your Family. We don't stop fighting but we also don't stop loving and growing and caring.

One last thing for my fellow Sjur copium addicts out there: Sloane's retreat was mirrored and inverted by Eris's victory, so for the complementary-ness of the story to continue, Amanda's death and Crow's subsequent emotional anguish over losing the person he fought with but who also saw him for who he really is will need to be mirrored and inverted by SOMEONE who Mara fought with but who also saw her for who she really is and I expect you will agree this is SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE reasoning that Sjur's comin back home.

#destiny 2 #season of the wish #obviously yeah Im calling the shot that Wish is gonna be very good narratively but im confidant on that given the track record now #and Im also confidant coupling it to Defiance like this. can't think of a good reason why it shouldn't be like this.#little russian nesting doll of a story about angy traumatized warriors resolutely taking care of each other #sjur's coming back! I wont belive she's not until TFS actually launches and she hasnt shown up yet.#sjur eido

It Will Get Better (Grey's Anatomy)

Grey's Anatomy

It wasn't that bad. That's what you told yourself each time. But as the excuses start piling up, Amelia Shepherd can't deny what's in front of her any longer and tries to convince you that it was bad enough to finally do something.

Warnings: Domestic Violence/Abuse

Requested = Yes

Y/L/N = Your Last Name

WOW it has been a hot second. A very hot second. A burning second. Maybe I'm back? I'm so sorry to all the other requests that I just haven't gotten to but I'm going to try to make an effort to write more again.

Sometimes you felt stupid.

Here you were, a well accomplished and respected surgeon with a soaring career, yet you just couldn't seem to leave.

Sometimes, you would stop and wonder why you couldn't.

Because you loved him.

Because he loved you.

Sometimes you would convince yourself that you would leave. That when night came and he fell asleep, you'd pack a bag and walk out the door. Of course, that never happened, because each time, you'd convince yourself that it was your fault.

You upset him. You shouldn't have picked a fight with him. You deserved what he did to you.

That he was a good man. That he was going to change.

That he loved you.

After an especially rough night, you woke up groaning. Your body was on fire, resisting every move you made. Aching, you managed to get yourself to the bathroom and in the mirror, you examined the damage.

"Shit..." You cursed softly as your fingers traced the blaring purple splotch along your cheek.

This was going to be difficult to cover.

Sighing, you rinsed your face off with cold water and wiped it dry before pulling out your makeup bag. The bruise was already vibrant and you knew that make up wouldn't make it completely disappear. But you were hoping that between the light and the angle, you could make it work.

It was a routine you were all too familiar with.

~~~

"Y/L/N!"

You turned around, looking up from your patient's chart to see a grinning Amelia Shepherd walking towards you.

"Just the person I was looking for," Amelia grinned, her smile infectious.

Amelia Shepherd was the first person you met when you first started working at Grey Sloan after transferring from your previous hospital. She quickly became the first friend that you made too. Realistically, you trusted Amelia with your life.

"I feel like I haven't seen you around much," Amelia commented. "We should do something on a day off, I need some Y/N time."

You chuckled and agreed despite knowing that you would never spend time with your colleagues outside of work because he would never let you.

"What can I do for you?" You asked and began walking towards the nurse's station. Your body still protested every movement though and you couldn't help but let out a soft groan.

Amelia eyed you carefully but let it slide, "I just need a consult."

You nodded and she pulled up the scans, eyes still trained on your expression for any kind of sign of discomfort.

As you carefully examined the scans on Amelia's tablet, you could feel her gaze trained on your face and you felt yourself staring harder at the tablet than necessary.

However, just when you thought you could get away with it, Amelia spoke up before you could open your mouth.

"What happened there?" Amelia softly asked, her hand reaching to your cheek.

You instinctively flinched and Amelia's hand paused before she lowered it.

"Y/N?"

You blushed, "Don't worry about it Amelia, I'm just clumsy and slipped. I hit my face against the table."

Amelia, of course, was not convinced but she sensed the anxiety in your body and let it slide.

"You would let me know if something was wrong right?" Amelia quietly asked and you nodded before forcing a smile on your face.

"Of course I would."

You felt sick lying to Amelia through your smiling teeth but there was a heavy weight in your stomach that made you do it.

He loved you.

~~~

You made a conscious effort to avoid Amelia after that close call. It hurt your heart to do so but you couldn't risk it. You took longer routes to get to places in the hospital when you could. You avoided break rooms that she was in.

Amelia knew you were avoiding her too. She let you have your space for a while but when it became clear that you weren't going to let up any time soon, she began to try to reach out to you.

It was one missed call. Then two. Then you stopped answering texts. You contemplated blocking her altogether but couldn't bring yourself to do it.

One evening after a long shift, you let yourself melt into the comfort of your couch, your partner watching the Seahawks game next to you.

Your phone sounded and you glanced at your screen to see a text message from Amelia. Sighing, you closed your phone and turned it face down on the coffee table.

But it didn't stop.

A series of text messages resulted in a series of dings but as you were reaching out to grab your phone to silence it, your partner's arm pushed past you and ripped your phone off the coffee table.

"What the fuck is so important that it's interrupting the game," He grumbled and looked at the screen. "Amelia?"

"My coworker," You quickly responded. "She's probably just asking about a patient."

He eyed you and you thought you were going to get away with it until his glare hardened.

"Prove it."

You gulped knowing that Amelia's text messages weren't about a patient. Your heart raced as you stumbled for an excuse but your hesitation was more than enough for him to lash out at you.

You weren't sure how long it would have lasted had your pager not gone off. Maybe the whole night for all you knew. Mumbling that you needed to be more transparent with him, he backed off, leaving you to pick yourself up off the floor.

Your body screamed in protest as you gathered yourself as quickly as possible before rushing off to the hospital. A massive trauma had come in and they needed all hands on deck. On your way out, you managed to pop two Advils into your mouth before grabbing your bag.

As you drove to the hospital, your mind raced with excuses to explain the growing bruises on your skin. You knew that in the moment, the hospital would be too busy to question the blotches but the aftermath would be an interrogation.

~~~

Exhausted and burning, you had finally made it through all the surgeries and now all the patients were in recovery. As you closed your eyes, you let yourself relax into the couch in the break room, a steaming cup of tea in your hands.

You felt someone sit down next to you and you didn't need to open your eyes to confirm it was Amelia.

"Let me guess, you fell again?" Amelia spoke softly and you knew it wasn't actually a question.

She knew.

You couldn't bring yourself to say anything. To lie and deny what she knew. To tell the truth and confirm what she knew. You felt your throat tingle as a lump formed and a tear silently escaped your closed eyes.

"You don't need to keep doing this," Amelia said and gently placed her hand on your arm.

You still didn't respond and Amelia took the cup out of your hands before placing it on the table with a soft clink.

"Y/N, look at me," She said but your eyes remained closed.

"Y/N."

Reluctantly, you opened your eyes even though one was beginning to swell shut.

"You deserve better," Amelia spoke with conviction, her gaze focused on your eyes. "It's not your fault, it was never your fault."

You swallowed and shook your head softly, "I can't."

"Yes you can," Amelia said. "You can. I will be here the entire time but you just have to trust me. It will get better if you just trust me on this one."

"He loves me." You replied but your voice quivered.

Amelia's heart broke at your words, "Y/N, this isn't love. Love doesn't hurt like this."

The singular tear that had slipped through your eyes seemed to have been an invitation for the others to follow as your body began to shake with each sob.

Slowly, Amelia wrapped an arm around your shoulders and pulled you close to her side before stroking your hair.

"I promise Y/N, it will get better," She whispered. "You deserve so much better."

You closed your eyes again and took a deep breath as the tears kept dripping down your cheeks.

"Okay," You mumbled back. "I trust you."

my dash is inspiring me; we should just make up some fucking batshit theories for s4 and run with them. i’ll go first:

- viktor and diego make the prime 8s (idk if it’s canon to the show) and defeat reginald with the power of music, team zero style, for the final battle. everyone plays dif instruments. think battle of the bands.

- in the middle of the season, brellie ben has an interlude where he picks up all of the characters that Deserved Better (imo) from the afterlife (eudora, dave, stanley, hazel, robot grace, etc) and they come back through some portal thing relating to the horror and fight in the final battle.

- brellie ben and sparrow ben Fucking Hate Each Other. everyone else thinks it’s hilarious. they keep jinxing each other. “STOP COPYING ME!”

- they recreate the spider-man meme

- at some point there are like 8 versions of five from different points in his life and they are all fighting each other.

- they also recreate the spider-man meme

- that or they just sit down and have tea and play cards. and everyone’s like ???

- lila and sloane have a girls night and blood is shed.

- raymond chestnut gets a gun.

- stanley comes back through the whole ben thing and he is an adult now. he gets a gun.

- CLAIRE!!!! gets .. a gun..?

- somebody’s gotta be doing some gay shit somewhere. or someone has a companion with lots of homoerotic vibes. somebody dies.

-timeloop episode where it’s as fucked up as the day that wasn’t. klaus is involved. allison is also involved. they think they break it at the end of the episode but then the start of the next episode they’re still in it. the audience is only somewhat aware of the mechanics.

- they get their powers back but they’re all swapped, ensue shenanigans.

@cardigan-ns saw u making s4 theories 👀

#please other people to this too and @ me #tua #writingastraightanswer #the umbrella academy #luther hargreeves #diego hargreeves #allison hargreeves #klaus hargreeves #five hargreeves #ben hargreeves #viktor hargreeves #eudora patch #hazel tua #grace hargreeves #dave katz #stanley tua #i hope i’m not over tagging this 😭

I just finished reading iron flame and I’m going insane so here are a few thoughts I had

Why did xaden assume the venin came for him??? were her nightmares really his????

Andarna is the one combined = she’s a combination of all the other dragon colours???

Is violet’s dad the sage????????? Is that why they won’t kill violet?????

Where is xaden’s mom????????

THE MARKS ON XADEN’S BACK ARE GREY AND LILITH GAVE THEM TO HIM IS SHE VENIN???? BECAUSE WHEN JACK GRABBED DAIN THE HANDPRINTS STAYED GREY????????

Did lilith request that nolon finds a cure for venin???? was her husband venin????? Is lilith venin because her eyes being bloodshot and bruised is referenced v v often also is that why she couldn’t imbue the wardstone because she would drain it instead????

Sgael literally kept xaden’s second signet a secret from Tairn she deserves better but also xaden can do no wrong in my eyes

Could xaden see the intentions of venin is that why he sacrificed himself and turned??

Tairn saying “I know who and what you are” WHAT IS SHE TAIRN????

They couldn’t get jack’s marks out from dain is that why violet’s hair tips always stay silver???? A venin attack when her mom was pregnant with her?????

Brennan showed up to basgiath after the wards went down is he venin?????

Xaden kept saying you’re going to be the death of me to Violet in fourth wing DID HE KNOW??????

Lilith said “you’d be surprised the things you do to save your children” did she kill violet’s dad???? or make a deal with venin is that why vi’s hair is grey????

Why was vi’s dad researching feathertails and the first six??? did leadership kill him because he found something out he shouldn’t have???

Can Sloane siphon the venin out of xaden???

Did Liam put a tracking rune in the wooden carving he gave vi of andarna????? or did xaden put a tracking rune in one of her daggers???

Was the whole point of bringing the wards down to find andarna????? is that what the venin wanted????

This is a tumblr classic but the ros' reaction to mc having a hickey on their neck only to find out it's a mosquito bite later on?

I went with the late crushing stage/early relationship stage for this.

Koda: Would honestly not even think it’s a hickey to begin with. Wouldn’t even cross his mind. Is it because he’s not used to seeing hickeys? Yes, but that’s not the only reason. He’d probably frown, tilt your head, and just ask you. “What happened to your neck, Anon? Did you slip and fall or something?” Would be relieved that it’s just a bug bite as he doesn’t want you to accidentally hurt yourself.

Scarlett: Her eyes would narrow, twin emerald flames, wanting to tear into the person that dared to mark what’s hers, before she’d force herself to calm down, sniffing the air, letting herself get wrapped in the scent she knows so well, and she’d instantly relax when she didn’t smell someone else’s with it. She’d, of course, not miss the opportunity to tease you though. “I’m not sure I like your new accessory, Anon.” Tugging you closer by the waist, Scarlett guides your body onto her lap, and lips ghost across the mark. “Have you been bad, my darling?” Would be instantly amused the moment you tell her it’s a bug bite.

Cyrus/Cyra: Their eyes would flash red instantly at the sight, body heating up at the mere implication of what it could mean. Before you’d be able to react they’d leave the room— fearing what their powers would do, and they’d never wish to harm you in any way. They’d be completely overthinking everything, but they know they needed to go back and talk to you— they just needed some time first. When they find out it’s a bug bite? They’d feel guilty instantly, but their relief would be so obvious. “I-I thought—” They cut themself off, simply shaking their head and pulling you into their arms. It didn’t matter now.

Quinn: With narrowed eyes, they’d just simply walk up to you, tilt your head, and peer closer to your neck, despite your confused questions filtering in their ear. They’re used to bug bites, know what they look like, and seeing it close up they’d be able to tell what it was. When they make the confirmation, they’d just step back with a rueful smile. “Sorry, I was just checking something.” They shrug. “Wanted to make sure I wasn’t seeing things that weren’t actually there.” They’d be more than happy to deal with your potential attitude after the fact— they got their answer in the end, and that’s all that matters.

Caden: They wouldn’t know how to react to be honest. Their entire being would just sort of…. Freeze? They’d grow instantly flustered, partially because of their distress and because they don’t know what to do and not look at it, which is something you’d probably pick up on. Probably wanting to approach them which would make them even more flustered. “I-I’m s-sorry for asking this, b-but what is t-that?” When it’s revealed it’s a bug bite they’d probably turn completely incorporeal due to their embarrassment.

Sloane: Anger and betrayal would lance through their chest instantly, a cavernous hole spreading out from their chest outward. It’d take everything within them not to shift, to give into the agony running through their being, but they’d give you the benefit of the doubt— you deserved that. “What’s that, Anon?” They’d ask, trying to keep their tone steady, unaffected. “Have some fun when I wasn’t here?” When they find out it’s a bug bite, they’d feel instantly better and guilty all at once— would apologize for doubting you instantly after learning it.

Blake: Would have an internal battle debating whether or not the “hickey” was actually a hickey— growing more and more upset with each moment the went on. In the end, Blake would decide to be petty because if it was a hickey then it obviously wasn’t done right. “Amateur work,” they mutter, tilting your head to the side. “Want to see how it’s really supposed to be done?” Their plan wouldn’t shift when they find out it’s a bug bite.

Reginald/Regina: They’d squint, debating whether or not they should ask. Maybe it was something that vampires sometimes got sporadically? I mean, come on, a vampire with a hickey, isn’t that too on the nose? The questions would abate the hurt they could feel welling within their chest, causing them to blurt out, rather abruptly, “Is that a hickey? Or did you have some fun with a vacuum cleaner?” Would immediately want to go and hide when they found out it was a bug bite.

Somebody that I used to know

Pairing: Amelia Shepherd x female!reader

Warnings: my medical knowledge is zero, talk of addiction, Scout doesn’t exist

Word count: 1997

a/n: Amelia deserves so much better

masterlists | guidelines

Addison walks towards the break room, hoping to find Amelia there before it’s too late. She walks into the room, luckily seeing the youngest Shepherd sitting on the couch, coffee in hand, talking with Maggie Pierce. “Amelia, could I talk to you for a minute?” She says right away, skipping the pleasantries.

With a look, Amelia stands up. “Sure.” She chuckles quietly, slightly nervous. “What’s up?” She asks after Maggie leaves to room for the two.

“I called Doctor Y/L/N here to help me with a patient of mine, she’s arriving today.” She tells, trying to gauge what Amelia’s thoughts are about seeing her ex again. “I wanted to tell you before she’s here.”

“Okay, thanks for telling me.” And with that Amelia leaves the room. Addison sighs, rubbing her forehead. Suddenly she isn’t too sure if she did the right thing, but she really needs Y/N here, she’s the best in her field. She just has to hope everything goes smoothly.

“Addison!” Y/N’s voice calls out excitedly.

The red head turns around to see her doctor friend walking towards her with a bright smile. “Hey, stranger.” Addison laughs, meeting her half way to hug her. “I’m so glad to finally see you. How was the world?” She pulls away, her hands on Y/N’s shoulders to see how much she has changed over the years.

“The world was good.” Y/N decided to leave the practice in Los Angeles to join the Doctors Without Borders, traveling all over the world with them. “How’s Seattle? I didn’t think you’d come back here.” She looks around the hospital. This isn’t her first time in Grey Sloan Memorial, but it has been a long time since she was last here.

“Seattle is good. You know I go where babies need me, and this baby needs us both.” She nods her head forward, so they start walking. “The baby is two months old and his heart is incredibly weak. He won’t survive without a donor heart, but getting a heart that small will take too much time.”

“That’s where I come in.”

“That’s where you come in.” Addison smiles, she missed working with her. “His heart could become strong enough, if you fixed the veins around it.” They walk into a room full of pictures of the baby’s heart and veins.

Y/N looks through the pictures, at times picking one of them up to see it closer. The heart is compromised, and the baby won’t survive long if they do nothing, but the surgery Addison is talking about is incredibly risky. Fortunately, Y/N is a risk taker.

“I can do it,” she states, “but I’m gonna need a lot of help. His vitals need to be monitored closely.”

Letting out a sigh of relief, Addison nods. “I’ll get you anything you need.” She pauses for a moment, contemplating on saying anything. “Amelia is here, you know? Incase you wanted to talk to her.”

“Oh.” Y/N clears her throat, cleaning up the pictures into a neat pile so she wouldn’t have to look at Addison staring at her. “I didn’t know that.” She mumbles.

The now silent and tense atmosphere of the room makes Addison question whether she made the right decision. Amelia is one of the most important people in her life, she’s her sister, but she also cares about Y/N a lot. Their relationship didn’t really end on the best terms, mostly because of Amelia’s addiction, but the relationship itself was good. They both were happiest Addison has ever seen when they were together.

“I’ll make a surgery plan and then get back to you, okay?” Y/N states, not waiting for Addison to answer as she leaves the room.

Her mind is all over the place, which makes her walk through the hallways with less attention than usually, though she does greet the familiar faces going past her. However, she doesn’t notice the person walking right towards her with the same state of mind. So, they crash into each other.

All the pictures Y/N was holding fly to the floor. “Shit, I’m sorry.” She grumbles, kneeling down to gather them.

“Y/N?”

The familiar voice makes her head snap up. Amelia is standing over her, an indescribable look on her face. The exes stare at each other in silence, both unsure what to do. They both knew of the others presence in the hospital, but they didn’t think they’d bump into each other, at least not yet.

Her breath hitches as she looks over Amelia’s face. As much as she doesn’t like admitting it, she missed her. “Amy.” With a mumble, Y/N stands up, dusting off her scrubs.

“Amelia, no one calls me Amy anymore.” She says with a small smile. Y/N just nods, putting it to her mind. “I haven’t seen you in a while.”

“Yeah.”

Amelia scratches the back of her neck. “So, Addison called you.”

“She did.” The pictures are starting to crease in her grip. “There’s a..baby, obviously, uhm, and she needed help.” She clears her throat, looking around for an exit. “I actually have to make a surgery plan for tomorrow, so, I’ll see you around, I guess.”

Going to walk past Amelia, she stops once a hand takes hold of her arm. “Could we talk? Just the two of us, later today.”

The ask makes Y/N hesitant, but the way Amelia is looking at her makes her give in. “Okay.”

“Awesome,” a smile spreads on Amelia’s face, “coffee, after work?”

“I’ll see you then.” She lets go and Y/N walks away, Amelia’s eyes never leaving her back.

Amelia paces around the lobby of the hospital, her mind racing a mile a minute. She has always considered Y/N her biggest love, maybe even soulmate, if she truly believes in them. Seeing her again has brought the feelings back to the surface and she isn’t sure what to do with them.

Her thoughts come to a halt when she notices Y/N walking towards her. Instead of her scrubs, she’s now wearing her everyday clothes. She looks just as beautiful as she did all those years ago. And she decides to tell her so, “you look beautiful.” Y/N hums with a slight smile, her cheeks turn warm, but she pays no mind to it. “There’s a small cafe down the street.”

“Let’s go then.” As they walk side by side, Y/N bites the inside of her cheek, looking down at the pavement. The silence is uncomfortable and they desperately want to break it, but neither of them know what’s appropriate to say in a situation like this. “How have you been?” Y/N decodes to ask, glancing at Amelia.

“Better. A lot better actually. I’ve been sober for a long time, though it’s still hard sometimes. I got two new sisters, sort of,” she chuckles, “Meredith and Maggie. And I’m the head of neuro department.”

“I heard about Derek. I’m sorry.”

“Yeah.” Amelia sighs. “It’s okay.” She opens the door of the cafe for Y/N before stepping inside herself. At the counter, they order their coffees, and when it comes time to pay, Amelia pushes Y/N’s hand away from the machine. “My treat.” She pays both of their coffees.

“You didn’t have to.”

“I wanted to.” They move to the other side pf the counter to wait for their coffees. “It’s the least I can do after,” she pauses, “everything.”

“It wasn’t completely your fault.” She looks away from her. “You were going through a tough time.”

“That’s no excuse. I hurt you and drove away one of the best things in my life.”

Being one of the best things in her life sounds like an exaggeration, but the sincerity in Amelia’s eyes makes her believe she really means it. “You’re also important to me.” Before the conversation van keep on going, the barista shouts their names. They take their coffees and find a quiet corner place to sit.

“So, what have you been doing all there years?”

“I moved around with Doctors Without Borders.” Y/N sips her drink. “Also studied a bit on the side.”

“And your love life?”

If Amelia was anything, she was blunt. If she wanted know something, she’d ask, Y/N usually liked her unfiltered talk. “Love life, huh?” She giggles with a shake of her head. “There were some flings and one time things, you know, to release stress I suppose. But nothing that stayed.” Amelia listens intently while she drinks her coffee. “And you?”

She shrugs. “There was Link and Kai, but just like every relationship I have had, they ended with someone’s heart broken.” Amelia has a grin on her face. She has already gotten over the past two relationships, but it’s still disheartening to have failed relationships.

“Hm, you’ll find your person.”

“Maybe,” Amelia keeps eye contact with Y/N, “I really hope so.”

Looking down, Y/N taps the mug in front of her with her nails, all the feelings around them getting overwhelming. “Listen,” she changes the subject, “could you be in the surgery tomorrow? I need someone to monitor her brain activity, and you are the best there is.” She lifts her head to give Amelia a teasing look. “Or at least you used to be. Have you gotten worse over the years?”

“Worse? Do you know who you’re talking to? I’m better than ever.” Amelia answers to the teasing look with a challenging look of her own. “What I’m hearing is, you need my help because you aren’t in the best shape.” Her elbows are leaning against the table.

“Oh, wow.” Y/N crosses her arms. “Your ego is still sky high.”

Amelia laughs, which Y/N giggle as well.

The surgery has been going on for six hours already, and the whole room is tense. Amelia and Addison are monitoring the baby’s health, while Y/N is rerouting the veins near the heart. The surgery is already nearing its end, but there’s still things to do.

Y/N lets out a sigh, shaking her hand to ease the pain in her wrist. It has stayed on one position for a long time. She can feel multiple pairs of eyes on the side of her head, there’s an audience in the viewing room. This is an once in a lifetime surgery after all. Double checking everything she has done, Y/N lifts her head to her friends. “Are his vitals good?” The two nod. “Alright, we’re ready to close.” She says shakily, not ready to relax just yet. But she can feel the relief coursing through the room.

The sutures closing the opening on the baby’s chest don’t take long, as the wound isn’t as big as on an adult. The moment the last suture is on its place, people in the viewing room start cheering, so do the doctors in the operation room. Addison and one other doctor take the baby to NICU, not before thanking Y/N though.

Walking out of the room, Y/N slumps down to a chair, taking off her scrub cap. Amelia sits down next to her. “Watching you work is seriously magnificent.”

Y/N laughs, “you’re being dramatic.”

“I’m not!” Amelia throws her arm around Y/N’s shoulders, giving her a side hug. “You’re incredibly and I love you.” Y/N turns to look at her. “Give me another chance? Go on a date with me?”

“Okay.”

“Yeah?” Amelia grins widely.

“Yeah.” Y/N smiles too, her heart beating a hundred miles. She isn’t sure if it’s from the surgery she just did, or the fact that Amelia is looking at her like she’s the only person she cares about.

Amelia nods, feeling like she just won the lottery. “I’ll pick you up at eight, wear something pretty.” She kisses her cheek before walking off, going straight to Addison to tell the good news.
