I secretly like Rose, and hope that they don't turn her into a psychotic bitch just for the sake of it (:/), so I really enjoyed this story. Derek used her, plain and simple, and for the sake of women everywhere, I hope that the writers can write her full of dignity like this.

But I'm not holding my breath.

I'm not either. I don't trust the writers anymore, and they are so focused on the MerDer storyline that they keep losing the other characters and sacrificing them for it. Rose is going to end up villanized because of it, which is unfortunate, because there are other ways for them to do it.

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

I think any Derek/Meredith fan will agree that the writers weren't focused on much of anything. :)

Rose/Finn!!!!! Cuuuute.

I want to feel sorry for her because she really didn't do anything to anyone but she did know what she was getting herself into, so I find it difficult to sympathize.

Still, I have a special fondness for stories about her. :D

[slybrunette]

Hee, I like random pairings.

And I know she did, but it's more sympathizing with how the writers have been treating her as opposed to the kind of character she could've been.

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

I was never a fan of Rose, more than anything because the writers portrayed as weak and desperate, but I really liked this take on her. I liked that she was able to be strong, because as much as I want Meredith and Derek to be together, Derek did treat Rose like crap. And I love the idea of Rose/Finn. :)

[slybrunette]

I thought I would like her more than I do, but I blame that completely on the writers. And your right, no matter what your ship, he did treat her pretty badly. Rebounds suck.

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

I haven't read many stories about Rose (probably because I don't really go searching haha) but I really liked this one and how you portrayed it. It was interesting how you also brought in Finn! Good work :]

[slybrunette]

I haven't really either -- I just never got around to it I guess -- but I'm really glad you enjoyed this!

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I like this take on Rose and I dislike her a lot right from the start because Derek seemed to get all the blame and she was treated innocent and I don't think that was the case. He deserved some flack but it wasn't all his fault.

Rose knew about Meredith and Derek but went after him anyway, she kissed him, she saw him leave Joes with her, she said everyone knew about Meredith and Derek and knew they were a legend. So why go after him? Why kiss him? Why ask him to dinner, then why agree to dinner with him when he told her no cause he was dating Meredith that same day? And then continue dating him? Rose went into this with Derek all clingy and desperate.

I don't know, I sympathize more with her honestly, but that has more to do with my character preferences too. Not really a big Derek fan.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading!
