Hush - Grey's Anatomy: Cristina/Burke (& Cristina/Owen) - Maps - PG-13 (Spoilers for 7.11 - Disarm)hitlikehammersJanuary 8 2011, 03:51:36 UTC

I literally have no words for this. I've read a lot of Grey's fic but you're one of the few people who's manager to capture Cristina's character so perfectly. Your prose is so very beautiful and I loved how this week's episode tied into it.
The second thing she does is touch the ring on her finger, wrap her hand around the band and squeeze until her pulse thrums through the metal, until she can remember, until she knows with a certainty that time has passed and bridges have burned, that gunshot wounds are different now, and she’s a woman he wouldn't recognize: hers is not the same heart he’d wanted, wasted years ago.

Cristina/Burke will always break my heart for this reason. Too much has changed for her. Too many wounds would be opened if she did go back. And yet...I can't help but continue to hope for this ship even thought it's sunk this far.
