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.

Elevator love merder by justabookandcoffefan

A continuation of the series from season 3. Some changes were made in the storyline, but nothing too huge, basically more focused on their private life, and less on surgery. They take steps more quickly than in the series. Also it becomes more interesting from the 3rd part, until then, pretty much the same as the series. Mature scenes will appear. (Some scenes copied from the series, of course all of those rights go to the writers) With love from a girl who's obsessed with Merder. Have fun! (English isn't my first language so i apologise for the mistakes that were made) Ps: Please rank or comment, so i can develop :) Also i am trying to update as often as i can. 🥇: meredithgrey (2022.12.) Started writing it at the end of oct, 2022.

Merdison, a great love story 🖤 by Merdisonxslut

Addie had left Seattle after divorcing Derek and moved to L.A to run the practice with Naomi, Sam and their other dear friends. She had moved on with her life and met Jake though they didn't work out in the end and got full custody of Henry, her son but she couldn't help but feel something or rather someone was missing from her life. 𝙵𝚊𝚜𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚍 9 𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜 Addie's phone rings and she gets butterflies in the very pit of her stomach as she sees the name Meredith. Her brain flashes to when she first saw Meredith all those years ago. Addie can still smell the sweet but calming smell of lavender that radiated off of Meredith when she met her in the lobby of Seattle Grace Hospital. Addie answers the phone to hear an exhausted voice say "Derek is dead". Addies heart dropped at the words Meredith had said to her. After a few seconds of silence Addie said "i'm coming Meredith"

Home (Grey's Anatomy Series) by Dat_AthRojas

Born in Philly, raised in New York, and now packing up her Bostonian life for the Emerald City. Freshly graduated from her fellowship at Harvard Medical School, a newly famous World Renowned Surgeon is given a new start in life. At only 24 years old, Elena has reached the highest set of skills a professional in surgical medicine could accomplish. Specializing in Cardiac, Plastic, and General Surgery, nothing could ever come between her love for Neuro, especially not her older brother, the equally famous Derek Shepherd. She was determined and sharp, she was everything Dr. Ellis Grey, her mentor, imagined her to be when she offered her the position of Head of Neurosurgery. Even with such a reputation like hers, Elena still had to face the worst of it. The prejudice and ridicule of her co-workers she could handle, she had faced it head-on during her time at Mass Gen, but she had never been the center of attention in the public eye. Can she keep her life in control or prying eyes? Or will she have to submit to the rumors and whispers spreading across the hospital?

Alex is 3 years older than Meredith but were in the same class.

The Way It Ends by meredithsderek1

⚠️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

Stitches of Life by LizEG96

"I don't get it." He shook his head at me, his frustration clear in his eyes. "Why can't you just let yourself be happy, for once?" "What makes you think I'm not happy?" I crossed my arms over my chest, my eyes narrowing into slits as I met his gaze, refusing to back down. "Maybe the fact that you're always fighting with me?!" He gestured between us, as if this moment were all the proof he needed. "You really don't get it." I scoffed. "Don't worry when I fight with you, worry when I stop because that means there's nothing left for us to fight for." *~*~*~* Bethany Watley has never had a easy life, but she has never let it stop her from fighting for what she wants. She didn't let it stop her from getting a surgical internship at Seattle Grace Hospital and she's not planning on letting it get in the way of her becoming the best surgeon she can be. Though, even with her dreams laid out clear in her mind, she could never have expected the drama that Seattle has in store for her. [Seasons 1-6] [Book One in the Stitches duology]

long story short with the montgomery-shepherds by gqldskies

DISCLAIMER: I wrote this a decent chunk of time ago which means that the grammar, punctuation and overall writing is lacking in this story. It's not totally horrendous but just know that this is no longer my writing style and I have since become more fluent and educated. Some chapters might have been better written than others because I have since edited some of them. Mackenzie Blayke Forbes-Montgomery-Shepherd is the daughter of Addison and Derek. She is five and very bright. This story follows this little girl as she handles being thrown into unfortunate situations. A collection of 3-6 chapter stories revolving around this family. Addek is not in a relationship. Derek is with Meredith. Addison has not met Jake. Lots of angst, hurt/comfort and you might end up hating me because Mackenzie goes through a lot of very booboo things but for sure some good fluff too. A little bit of a spot the Taylor Swift reference game by the way so comment if you find them! - I DO NOT OWN GREY'S ANATOMY OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FROM THE SHOW AND ALL I OWN ARE THE CHARACTERS I MAKE UP AND THE STORYLINES I CREATE.
