First Love - Chapter 5

“So, who’s coming for Thanksgiving?” Meredith asked a few days later, as Izzie and Alex huddled around the kitchen table, planning the menu. “The usual suspects,” Alex grumbled, scowling as he crossed French fries off the list - at Izzie’s insistence - and replaced them with sweet potatoes. “Dinner will be at six,” Izzie ( Read more... )

First Love - Chapter 4

“So Barbie’s joining the pre-school set, huh,” Christina remarked smugly, a week later. “That figures.

"Longshot"

“How’s your arm?” Izzie asked quietly, leaning against the doorframe. Her question echoed through the dimly lit room as she moved to sit beside him on his bed. “It’s fine,” he mumbled, pulling away from her inquiring touch. “It was an accident,” he insisted, motioning vaguely to the bandage under his sleeve, “she wouldn’t do this on ( Read more... )

Nine Lives

Alex Karev rolled smoothly out of the bed, expertly gathering his clothes without making a sound. The pale moonlight streaming into the hotel room provided all the light that he needed, and he dressed quickly, glancing at the small clock glowing on the nightstand.
