Oh...mah gahd...this is just. Utterly fantastic. I can't even begin to describe how much I love it. Derek/Lexie is one of my favorite crackships and this just proves how they can work. NNggghhh. You're my hero.
Almost five years ago, she hit on Derek in a bar.
Half a decade later, she falls into bed with him.
I died a little bit, not gonna lie.
Thank you SO much for sharing this. Fabulous.

TBH, never thought of them. And then prompts were thrown my way. This is of course interesting because, hello, she hit on him. And yet. Sometimes I'm not so bright.
I'm so glad you liked this! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

It's well written (of course), and the Alex/Meredith subtext is spectacular (naturally; you are the on that converted me) and this:
“No,” she murmurs, threads her fingers through his as she pulls him towards her room and away from his.
(By this time, the only reminder left of Meredith in his room is a framed post-it above the bed; there are certain things Lexie can’t deal with.)
Is just so, so good.

But Derek is a pompous asshole. Though I don't necessarily agree with 'turned into' so much as 'pretty much always was'. Guess who I'm not a fan of? lol

I really enjoyed it thanks

Of course Alex knows the whole history, hehe.
"one day, someone’s going to have to empty this closet and this room and this house of her things." - And it would still be her house...
“No,” she murmurs, threads her fingers through his as she pulls him towards her room and away from his. (By this time, the only reminder left of Meredith in his room is a framed post-it above the bed; there are certain things Lexie can’t deal with.)" - Perfect, really.

Yeah, one day they're going to have to empty that house of themselves, lol. She's always going to be there, that way.

This is so NOT where I was going to go with these two when I first tried writing them but your prompt created this lovely little reality and I thought 'what the hell?'. Your reaction? Total validation that I probably did the right thing.
I am so freaking relieved/overjoyed that you liked this hun! Thanks so much for being awesome!
