ANGSTY! But lovely! You're really good at the angsty prose...

I liked the pairing, I could see it happening. If there was something canon in here post Season 4 I would not recognise it as I have yet to watch Season 5 or 6.

Fave bits:

They are who they always were, poster children for the emotionally stunted, the lost causes - just more world weary. -- I really like this line because I do think it whenever I watch those two on the show... they are so messed up! And not in a George O'Malley or even Izzie Stevens kind of way. In an especially damaged way. Like Meredith.

He still calls out the wrong woman’s name and she still dreams of the wrong man, pleading the fifth on his identity even to her subconscious.

-- That's deep.

“Is this you sharing a super secret important part of your childhood with me right now? Because if you were looking for someone to listen, you should’ve stuck to screwing Lexie.”

-- That's so in-character and just *hugs* for you and Cristina.

“Sitting in a bar talking about metaphors. You’re going to hate yourself in the morning.”

“Not if I get laid.” He tips the bottle back, empty beer that sounds hollow when he sets it down.

--- Once again, lovely in character work here. So very lovely.

GREAT DABBLE AS PER USUAL. XX Dulce

Alex/Cristina aren't canon but this is post S6, so it's got some references for sure. So for sure a few things in here would be a little clearer with knowledge of later seasons but the good thing about non-canon is it translates pretty well.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
