Meredith/George All 50 Themes
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Pairing:Meredith Grey/George O'Malley
Theme set: Alpha
Rating: PG-13 at most, I believe.
#01 - Comfort
The sounds of the heart monitor gave him a sad sense of comfort; it meant that the hours he had spent opening and fixing and repairing and closing, hours by her side, saving a life, hadn't been for nothing.
#02 - Kiss
They're always rushed, always hard, always needy, but what's a kiss without a little emotion behind it?
#03 - Soft
His body is soft and warm next to mine as I curl into the nook underneath his arm, his steady breathing lulling me to sleep, appreciative of the imperfection that is George O'Malley.
#04 - Pain
Most people just cover the wound with a band-aid, but they don't realize that they're going to have to rip it off eventually, which only means more pain; sometimes it's the same thing with sleeping with Meredith Grey-the sex just covers everything up, but eventually that's just not enough and you have to rip that band-aid off.
#05 - Potatoes
Izzie can be such a nazi sometimes, especially during the holiday season, but standing next to George, peeling the mountain of potatoes that Izzie's going to make us mash eventually, makes Christmas less daunting and much more lighthearted.
#06 - Rain
It never seemed to stop raining in Seattle, but it didn't bother George; it actually suited his mood quite well when Meredith would bring home a different guy after a night of drowning her sorrows in tequila and beer, slowly, agonizingly, ripping his heart out.
#07 - Chocolate
I hate when he does this; feels the need to pick up after me-the bathroom is spotless and my bedroom doesn't need a snow plow to navigate; oh, how I'm going to kill him in a very slow and very painful way; there's an Andes mint on my pillow.
#08 - Happiness
I can't help but smile when I hear her laugh because no one can get her to share such emotion most of the time; and just a moment of happiness in Meredith Grey's life can last me a lifetime; especially if I'm the one that made that moment happen.
#09 - Telephone
The shrill cry of the telephone ends what was starting to be a very passionate night and George curses the day that he decided he wanted to be a surgeon; George curses that 12 year old boy who wanted to do something with his life; George curses that little kid that put him in a profession where he was on call for 24 hours a day.
#10 - Ears
There was something about the way that her hair never stayed behind her ears that drove him mad; no matter how many times she would tuck a certain strand back, it always managed to free itself from the confines of the hair tie and the space behind her ear; and he had to tell himself, on a regular basis, not to fix it for her.
#11 - Name
Sometimes I'm terrified that the name she calls out won't be mine; that it will be one of the plethora of names, not easily remembered, but more simply found in a baby book; that it will the name that I avoid like the plague-Derek.
#12 - Sensual
I never figured George O'Malley for a sensual being, but, then again, I never figured myself to fall in love with the nice boy down the hall.
#13 - Death
The stench of death permeated throughout the entire O.R., causing her to feel both alive and very sick to her stomach, and the look that he gave her, the sadness in his eyes, did nothing to settle the somersaults that her stomach was doing.
#14 - Sex
He wishes it all wasn't so impersonal; that he wasn't just a way to fill the dent in her mattress, to keep her body warm, to make her feel whole; he wishes it was as much about love to her as it was to him.
#15 - Touch
He's always been so precise, but I guess that's what you get when you sleep with a surgeon; hard touch-scalpel, hard kiss-clamps, rough sex-clear, I'm a flat line.
#16 - Weakness
Sometime he doesn't know what he sees in her, until she smiles or gives him a hug or genuinely laughs or holds his hand, and then he knows-it's the way she would be if her mother hadn't gotten sick, if Dr. Sheppard hadn't caused her world to collapse, if things had been different-it's the way she could be that makes him weak in the knees.
#17 - Tears
She doesn't know why she does it, why she has to be the way she is, treat people the way she treats them; and she cries tears of bourbon, tequila, whiskey, and Jaeger because that's the only time she feels, the only time she lets him see that she's hurting; only when she's drunk.
#18 - Speed
When you work 40 hours in a 48 hour period, you don't do anything fast, but I think it's for the better because when I'm in his arms, when things are moving slow, I forget; I forget and I appreciate and I think it means so much more when I do.
#19 - Wind
The way the rain beats sideways against the window breaks my heart because I realize that there is no up and down, only side to side; no room for change, no leeway for mistakes, and I want to scream as the wind howls outside my window.
#20 - Freedom
There's no such thing as freedom at Seattle Grace Hospital; there's always someone watching, always someone that knows, always someone who's willing to step on you to make themselves look better; and sleeping with a number of men that I work with is not going to allow me much freedom if people find out.
#21 - Life
It was their job to keep people alive, to keep them well and breathing; but how could she be expected to keep people alive when she felt like she was dying when George would softly touch her back or whisper that everything was going to be alright.
#22 - Jealousy
Her looks of longing cut him like a dull scalpel, deep and painfully; the thought that those looks didn't ever seem to be directed at him, only made him hate Dr. Sheppard that much more.
#23 - Hands
His hands weren't those of a surgeon because, if they were, they wouldn't have been shaking so hard as he slowly unzipped her dress, discarding it across the room, replacing where her straps had been with soft kisses to her shoulders.
#24 - Taste
She tastes of alcohol, of despair, of want, of need; and he'll satiate the three that he can, so that she doesn't have to use the first one to drown out the rest.
#25 - Devotion
They talk about her like she can't hear them, but he'll defend her until the end of time, or until they find out some other little secret to whisper amongst themselves at the lunch tables; sometimes he wants to start a rumor just so they'll stop.
#26 - Forever
It's never going to end; the games girls play are going to be consistent until the end of times, but I'm willing to sit on the bench if it means that I'm that much closer to Meredith; hell, I'll sell peanuts and crackerjacks if it means I'm in the ballpark.
#27 - Blood
George doesn't know if it makes him insane, but the blood and pain that walks in the emergency room doors gives him a bit of a high; it pleases him that she knows how he feels; surgery-both his drug and his anti-drug.
#28 - Sickness
"George," she hollered from the kitchen, making him a bowl of soup, "you deal with sick people everyday so stop being a baby when it's your turn to get sick; it's just a cold."
#29 - Melody
She hates her voice, so George doesn't tell her that her singing in the shower is the way he loves to be woken up.
#30 - Star
Stars are little balls of gas that die years before we see them; George couldn't be happier that Meredith saw his light before it died, leaving an empty black space for some other star to fill.
#31 - Home
He hated sharing a house with her; he hated listening to the sounds from her room; he hated laughing with Izzie as the boys traipsed from the house, dejected and hungover; he hated that it broke his heart because she made it a home, her and Izzie; and he hated that he couldn't stop himself from loving her.
#32 - Confusion
She laughs as his brow furrows, a look of confusion on his face; "I just don't get how glitter can transport you 17 years into the future and I don't understand why you would make me watch that with you," he says as she put 13 Going On 30 back into its box, sighing.
#33 - Fear
It was hard being the only male in the house because, really, Izzie and Meredith could strike fear into the heart of Satan himself when that "special time of the month" rolled around and they wanted chocolate ice cream; George hated having to run out at 2 in the morning just to appease them, but for Meredith he'd make his own ice cream.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder
The windows shake as thunder roars over the low moans being emitted from one Meredith Grey; and I don't know if it's the lighting or me that causes that flash in her eyes.
#35 - Bonds
She unties the rope from the bedpost and giggles before resting on his heaving chest, knowing that people will be questioning the red mark around his wrist when he gets to work the next day; "I lost a bet," he'll tell them and she'll smile, knowing that she's the one that made him lose it.
#36 - Market
"There's no way in hell, Meredith; not again, not after last time. Grey," George started as he looked over her shoulder at the shopping list she was making, "I refuse to buy you and Izzie your tampons when it's my turn to do the shopping."
#37 - Technology
George hated it; the machine that kept her breathing; the machine that showed her vitals; the machine that she'd worked with for the past 3 years; the machine that was keeping her alive.
#38 - Gift
The flowers wouldn't mean much to anyone else; the small dandelions, the weeds; but they show that he cares, that he remembers, that she has a reason not to drown her bad day in alcohol tonight.
#39 - Smile
They say a smile is contagious, but hers, that sad and small smile, is the bloody plague, knocking him out, breaking his heart, causing him a slow and painful death; and he figures death would be easier than having to watch her walk through life as a ghost.
#40 - Innocence
All innocence is lost when you're laying on that cold table, under the bright lights, and sharp knife of the operating room; and sometimes Meredith feels like she's there, in that room, as George looks down at her appraisingly.
#41 - Completion
Seven days, one hundred sixty eight hours, ten thousand eighty minutes; one full week of phantom kisses, of dented mattresses, of tears dried with soft touches; one full week of Meredith allowing him to show her how much he loved her.
#42 - Clouds
The sky in Seattle was never fully rid of the little white clouds, the hospital was never fully rid of the sick people, and George was never fully rid of the tug in his chest when she walked by.
#43 - Sky
The sky gives her hope; because wherever she is, it'll be there with her, always above her, always watching over her.
#44 - Heaven
George didn't know if he believed in the idea of a heaven, of a place that people went after they died that wasn't covered in six feet of dirt, but if there was such a place, if it really did exist, he was certain that it was in Meredith's bed, his arms around her slumbering body.
#45 - Hell
She'd been told to go to hell a number of times in her life, so often, actually, that she'd never be able to calculate the number; and sometimes she wished she could go to this place of eternal damnation that people kept telling her to travel to because anything, anywhere, had to be better than this; than this constant buzz and reminder that she had broken his heart.
#46 - Sun
She squinted up into the sky, into the huge flaming ball that heated and lit their world, from her position on the blanket and smiled as the face of George O'Malley blocked the sun as his lips closed in on hers.
#47 - Moon
There's a place in the park that's just ours when night falls; somewhere where only the man in the moon can see us, only the man in the moon can judge.
#48 - Waves
She didn't know that they could be called waves, ripples maybe, but, either way, the rhythmic motion of the water seemed to be being conducted at the same cadence as her heart as she watched him walk away; quick and erratic, the same tempo her feet picked up as she chased after him, apologizing with small kisses along his jaw line.
#49 - Hair
He hated musicals but, he had to admit, that of everything Meredith made him watch on their nights off, watching Treat Williams sing was the most enjoyable.
#50 - Supernova
Sometimes Meredith seems to be a celestial phenomenon, emitting vast amounts of energy, exploding into the room; and George finds it hard not to fall in love with her all over again.
