She turned to her mother as she grasped her hand, squeezing it twice before giving her a nod. Her red locks were perfectly styled whilst clad in a black Gucci fur coat and Manolo Blahnik heels. To everyone else, she looked perfect, like she had her whole life together, but her eyes told a different story. She was every bit just as nervous as she was. Unsure whether or not this was a good idea but knowing that it had to happen at some point. We can do this, her gaze seemed to say. Her mother squeezed her hand one more time and they fell into step together as they made their way into the walls of Seattle Grace Hospital.

Grey's Paradox (For Now, Not Complit) by yam261102
22 parts Ongoing
Alexandra Karev never wanted to be an intern again. She was a second-year resident, almost on her way to choosing a specialty, when everything changed. One moment, she and her best friends-Bailey Grey, Alice Grey, and her twin brother George Karev-were in the hospital basement, and the next, they were standing in Season 7 of Seattle Grace, staring at legends who weren't supposed to be there. The past was never supposed to be real. Derek Shepherd was supposed to be a myth, a man Alice and Bailey never got the chance to know. Alex was never supposed to work under a younger Teddy Altman or catch Cristina Yang's sharp, calculating gaze when she performed a little too well in surgery. She was never supposed to interact with her father-the younger version of Alex Karev-without him knowing who she really was. Now, stuck in a time where they don't belong, Alex must find a way to survive without changing history. But that's easier said than done when Cristina keeps pushing her, testing her limits, drawn to something in her that she can't quite place. When Teddy starts noticing her, watching her with the kind of intensity that sets Alex's heart racing. She was prepared to be a surgeon, not a time traveler. And she was definitely not prepared to fall for the two women who would shape her future in ways she never imagined. If they don't figure out how to fix this soon, Alex might not just lose her way home-she might lose her heart in the past.

⚠️TW: there's SA in this story. So if you're not comfortable I don't suggest reading this. What if there was a more specific reason as to why Derek was never there in their marriage with Addison. "I can call the police anytime." "I wouldn't do that if I were you," he leaned forward, placing his elbows on his knees as a sign of him getting serious. "Oh you wouldn't," Meredith smiled. "No," he raised an eyebrow. "Because not only will you get me in trouble you'd be endangering yourself and your family." He was dead serious now. Side characters: Ellis Grey (she never got Alzheimer's and is now Chief of Surgery) Richard Webber (even though Ellis is here he is still with Adele) Addison Montgomery Mark Sloan Cristina Yang Izzy Stevens Alex Karev George O'Malley Preston Burke Callie Torres Arizona Robbins Lexi Grey Amelia Shepherd
