It's like you're writing the Grey's Christmas episode that we didn't get this year!

I intentionally started doing this when I heard we weren't getting one, actually, as a holiday present to my flist. I did it last year as well :) As for updating, I figured I might as well just split this up into smaller chunks so I could post more often.

Sadie is very much the narrator, or as much as she can be in a story with multiple POV's. She masterminds a lot of stuff, especially stuff that's still upcoming. I find writing most of the big scenes from her POV gives you a fairer picture of who everyone is. She doesn't truly know these people, except for Meredith, and so she serves almost as an outsider.

Izzie will be making a lot of choices in this. She can only bounce between Denny and Alex for so long before either Alex gets tired of it or things come crashing down. They don't factor in much in this part, but that paragraph certainly speaks of things to come.

Lexie is the little kid, whether or not she wants to be. However she isn't really the one in trouble. Mark is.

As for Owen, I was asked very nicely to bring him into this and I really need a bigger plot for Cristina so hopefully he'll work his way in -- never written him before.

I'm glad you're enjoying this hun! Thanks for such a wonderful review!

Lexie is the little kid, whether or not she wants to be.

You know what one of my favorite non-M/L Lexie scenes is? I think it's episode 3 or 4 from this season, where Lexie is sitting with Meredith, Cristina, George and Alex at the cafeteria and Alex is slapping all of the other residents. Lexie is just sitting quietly and giggling to herself, and if you back-pedaled their ages 20 years, it's like Lexie is just so excited that her big sister is letting her hang out with her friends and it's so cute and realistic and you just want to hug her.
