So touching. I loved the Cristina & Mere exchange, very accurate.

I loved that Derek had his head on straight enough to take care of her when she fell apart. I have definately been waiting for that scene. I see Meredith as very broken on the show, and I needed that glimpse here.

Great chapter.

Glad you enjoyed that chapter :) I love it when Derek does supportive, and you're right, Meredith is still very much her own little disaster.

You have this amazing grasp of all the characters you write, and it just knocks me over every single time. I love Meredith and Cristina, how Meredith really isn't as selfish as she's sometimes portrayed on the show - she cares about her "person" and she feels a little guilty at setting their relationship aside because she's been focused on Derek. I just.. I love every word of it, and the fact that they ended up talking all about nonsense.

And.. oh, Meredith. Thank you for letting her break down this time, and for Derek being there, not to say the right words but to just hold her and be there for her. :)

Excellent chapter. Can't wait to see what happens when they go back to work.

Thank you so much :) It's really really important to me that characters stay, in character. When you take characterization away, fanfic, to me, becomes a story about other people that borrows a premise from that awesome show on tv, not a story that could have been on that awesome show on tv. And that's a very fine line that usually dictates whether I will enjoy a fanfic I read, or toss is and move on to the next one.

Hooboy, now I'm rambling :)

Another awesome chapter. This is probably your best chapter yet. Everything worked so well. Dialogue is definitely your strong suit. I could just picture everything in my head. I loved Derek still being her knight in shinning scrubs.

Awesome!

Thank you! The dialog is almost always the very first thing I jot down when I'm thinking about a scene. It's the easiest for me to write of all the story elements. Which sometimes gets very annoying, because every once in a while I'll end up with a wonderful skeleton that I have to fill in with setting, and it just gets very tedious because I already got the fun stuff out of the way :)
