Oh, right. Cristina. (I wasn't there, but I am now...).
I must admit that I did initially think you were gonna 'go there' with A/C towards the end... and I was kinda rooting for it. But then I put aside my Owen hatred and my need to get back at him and I really thought about it... and I AM SO GLAD YOU DIDN'T. It made what happened so much more meaningful that they really all just did it as friends. No ulterior motive.
Back to Alex/Lexie: “He was always the better guy,” he whispers, at the wedding, her skin cold underneath his fingertips, that little shiver she gives running straight into his body.
Alex kisses her cheek.
(She forgets to believe him.)
THE LAST LINE KILLLLLLED MEEEE!
and this: (She opens her mouth to him, lets a hand curl around to the nape of his neck and the press of his body against hers be the only thing holding that towel in place, because, momentarily, she forgets not to.
They’re both the same in that way; always forgetting to push the other away.)And this is also so, so
( ... )
I know I said this to nursebadass, but I'm saying it again: there were three versions of this originally, and the second was definitely Alex/Cristina. And it just didn't work. I felt like I was compromising the story I was trying to tell because, really, Cristina was just the thing that pushes him over the edge and sends his ass to therapy. Because she's a mess and Meredith's gone and that leaves him to deal with it, and he doesn't really know what to do with her any more than he did with Lexie earlier on, except he can't just tell her to get out and end things in the hopes that someone else will deal with it. That's not an option. So, in a way, it forced him to address his own problems to some degree
( ... )
I'll start this by quickly saying that I didn't mean to sound dismissive of mine I always think people who say "my story is crap" are only looking for other people to turn around and say "oh no, it was fabulous" and that's not what I was intending! I guess I've been dulled to it a bit by the fact that well, one... I wrote it! And two... after the 379th read through, things tend to lose their impact! Haha! So, I guess I'm not a very good/subjective judge on it at the moment...!
Okay. Right. Where was I? Replying to your reply!
I hadnt read your explanation to nursebadass, so I wasn't aware of the three versions and the existence of a A/C alternative. I stand by my initial point of being so pleased you didn't go there. I think you're right, it would have diluted what happened, and changed a dynamic between them that would have sent them spiralling in a completely different direction. A/C would be hot together, but they'd be even more dysfunctional than even Alex/Rebecca was! It could never be a healthy relationship and I don't think a hook up
( ... )
Oh no, I didn't think you meant it like that. I just mean...don't sell yourself short ;) But you're right, you read through things enough and you start to almost hate it. Or at least I do.
I agree, A/C could never be a healthy relationship. There is too much wrong with them individually. Plus, like you said then it would've been the 'how Alex/Cristina get together story' which was so not what I was after. There's a reason this is Alex centric according to the subject line.
I feel like, on the show at the moment, they're starting to lose it.They've always been really bad with being consistent on a friendship aspect. Meredith/Cristina is really the only thing that they really remember to follow through with, so I'm used to Alex breaking off a little bit. A lot of my fixation with Alex+Meredith and, to a lesser degree, Alex+Cristina, is due to my own invention. But I know what you're saying -- they really are sacrificing a lot by trying to make the new fab five work (which I will never buy but whatever, I don't like change or
( ... )
Explain. Please. Or if it's too horrible, just send a hitman.
It's something along the lines of...
Alex channels his inner Justin Bieber for a paediatric patient who develops a crush on him.
THIS. Just. I don't KNOWWWW! Haha. What the hell? I mean, I don't know much about JB, except that he sings songs that 12 year olds have heart attacks over and is Canadian? Yes? Do you think JC is gonna sing???? Hmmm. I think I'll reserve judgement...
I'm kinda mortified by the idea that Alex even HAS an inner Justin Bieber TO channel!!! Just, NO! At least, not the Alex that I know and love!
