Thursday’s episode left me feeling a little down, so I decided to write a little something (and by little, I mean very short). Keep this part of the blog in mind as you read, which I think sums up things perfectly:

Oh!!! I LOVE it! As much as I love that something is going on with MerDer on the show, and they finally have some screentime and a storyline, I hated that Mer said she chooses surgery over love. And Derek at the end admitted it.

Some may say it them being grown up, but I didn't take it that way. I took it as both of them acknowledging they choose surgery over love, over each other. Couldn't believe it. :(

Thanks so much! :)

I know, that kind of bothered me, too. I really think that Mer only said that to shut Cristina up, but still. It bugs. And Derek is just pissy. At least, that's my take on it. Because realistically, I know that they would choose each other over their careers. Simple as that. :)

Anyhoo, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Wellll, it's around half-season, so of course it's time for things to get busted. :/ But this definitely helps. A lot. Let's just pretend this happened, k? :P

[seattle_dreams]

Hee, I know. This time of the season is when I need to break out the liquor and wait out the storm. :P

Glad this helped you, too! Thanks, Leah! ♥

-gasp-

Thanks for writing this, Missy; it felt so good after that heartbreaking, nausea-inducing episode. At least there're MerDer scenes to fall back on amidst all the mid-season crap. :P

I absolutely loved this fic, you totally nailed their voices and their actions, especially with the -ahem- touching and...yes. Great job! ♥

[seattle_dreams]

Thanks so much, Elyssa! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I know, that episode just ended wayyy to abruptly for my liking, hence the need I felt to tack on a few extra minutes to it and make MerDer work things out. :D

Heee. The touching. We need more of that. Way more. :P

I just had to comment on this, it's great

[seattle_dreams]

Wow, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed this!

And I completely agree with you. Mer and Derek just felt totally out of character in this episode. I don't understand how the writers can justify them choosing their careers over each other, when we all know it's not true. That confused and annoyed the hell out of me, which is why I felt the need to tack on those few extra minutes of that scene. Because really, that ending was like a punch in the gut. :P

Anyway, I'll stop rambling. Haha. Thanks again! I really appreciate your review! :)
