I'm always happy to meet another Meredith/Lexie shipper! Welcome to our little corner of LJ!
It's been a while since I've watched all of these episodes so someone else might jump in to correct me if I'm wrong but here's my understanding.
When Lexie first shows up is not long after the ferryboat arc and Derek has given Meredith that obnoxious "I can't breathe for you." speech. Basically he's giving up on her because he thinks she gave up and didn't fight when she was drowning and because he feels like Meredith is shutting him out and turning to her friends when she needs help - when she fails her test, when Lexie's Mom dies, etc. I seem to recall some emo scene of him standing outside looking through the window while Meredith had beers with Alex and Izzie. I think the bar scene is either right before or right after Meredith says the "It's so over." while looking at Derek at Cristina and Burke's non-wedding.
I've always assumed Lexie grew up in or near Seattle. Thatcher and Lexie's Mom live close enough that they and Molly always end up at Seattle Grace when they need a doctor. Thatcher and Ellis were married and had Meredith while Ellis was at Seattle Grace. I don't think we've ever seen anything to indicate that Thatcher ever left Seattle after the split.
First of all, thank you for the welcome, I'm again so happy to see this community!
Second of all, I totally remember Derek's drama with Meredith "not fighting hard enough" and pulling away, etc. That makes things so much more clear and actually perfect for my story, so that's great! I also agree with your logic about Lexie's upbringing, so that's good enough for me!
Lastly, I'm glad you're looking forward to it! It's driving along fairly well so far, so I'm hoping to have it up in the near future1 :] Again, thank yuo SO much for everything!
Excellent! Thanks so much for the input! I finally bit the bullet over the past few days and manually went back to confirm a few things, and I think we're all in correct agreement!
I just posted chapter 1 if you'd like to read! Feedback is always much appreciated :]
(ps, is your username from the BtVS episode of the same title? If so, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. If not, don't mind me xD)
...and if you've read, I encourage you to re-read. I didn't realize I accidentally posted the DRAFT as opposed to the final cut of chapter 1. Epic fail, lol. Fixed grammatical errors and flow issues. :p
I said this below, but if you read chapter 1 yesterday, I encourage you to re-read as I mistakenly posted my draft as opposed to my final cut of chapter 1 xD I had since made some grammatical and flow corrections and have now updated and saved :]

I can't wait to read your story when it's done!
