One-Shot Fic Recommendations

[hollyjo12]

I'm slowly getting back into the fanfiction mood but don't really want to get into a multi-chapter fic until I'm in the mood to do so.  So I'm looking back and trying to find some of my favorite Mark & Lexie One (or two)-shots.  Got any suggestions?  And if so, why do you love it so much?

Here are just a few of my favorites:

She's So Lovely by Katie

Love them all. Cycles and turbulence my two favs.

Katie and Mere current stories def a fav too. Love rediscovering Lexie grey and things we want for ourselves and Bump and all the family stories.

What did we do before ff.

Thanks for sharing Liz. I love those stories too. But they are multi-chaptered and I was really looking for one or two-shots. Got any recommendations for those?

I lost my fanfic love this summer due to being slammed with work and family obligations and just my general blahness about reading anything (fanfic, books, newspaper). But I feel the love slowly seeping back and want to read short stories to build that up. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Thanks!

I love the stories by kelny7

Her stories are some of my fav some great s6 one shots and a halloween story that is fantastic. I am trying to find a story where mark goes on a confrence to New York and leaves lexie alone in Seattle its a one shot. Spent most of Sunday looking for it lol.

[hollyjo12]

I love kelny7 too. I hope she starts writing again. So is the story you are looking for one of her's?

I'm such a loser, Holly lol I was reading through some of my family one-shots. I'm really proud of some of those.

[hollyjo12]

Why are you a loser for reading your one-shots? That is just good sense...first, they are a good read; second, it helps you remember facts and feelings of your characters and third, THEY ARE A GOOD READ! :)

I love your family one-shots...little glimpses into the family to see what they are up to. Hint, hint!

[lexiesloan]

lol I know. I have so much I need to write. I was just reading the one where Lexie is depressed and Mark tries to help her and she starts writing childrens' books. I love that one :)

[hollyjo12]

You know...that actually describes what I've been feeling this summer. Depressed but not really, lonely but not really, bored but not really. Wanting something but I don't know what. I think you hit Lexie's feelings pretty good in that fic.

I might also mention that Mere has some wonderful CRF (cutting room floor) fics. Most of which are one-shots. They are perfect for adding a missing scene into an episode or to change what happened or didn't happen. I really loved the one she did after this season's premiere. It was a much needed scene.

[lexiesloan]

I loved her fifth season CRF stories! I have read them countless times. I only read a few of her sixth season ones since I stopped watching. I haven't read her seventh season one just because I'm not watching and I hate reading anything that has to do with the show. I'm strange like that lol

[hollyjo12]

We all have quirks like that. I'm like that about AU fics. Just can't get into them. By AU I mean when the characters have totally different backgrounds or totally different lives than the one that is canon. I don't care if they go AU after the canon, but it is rare that I really love a fic that is totally AU because then they aren't the characters that I loved enough to read a fic about. If that makes sense.

[lexiesloan]

lol You probably hate my AU stories then. I didn't know that!
