Part 1 of the 2 fic posts I'm making today. Because I'm bored like that.
Title: I Know All The Words To This Song, Just Can't Find The Tune
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Meredith, Cristina
Rating: PG
Word Count: 250
Prompt: #9 - Fluorine for femslash100's Periodic Table
Summary: Post 5.13. She's getting a bit tired of people having breakdowns in her bathroom.
Derek offers to drive them both back to Meredith’s, but instead Meredith kisses him on the cheek, and follows Cristina up to her apartment, saying that she should probably just stay here for the night. Derek, for once, knows not to object.
They have the apartment to themselves - Callie’s gone for the night - and Cristina fixes the rumpled sheets on the side of the bed that Owen had slept in, hides the tie he forgot, hopes Meredith doesn’t notice. She listens to the sound of running water in the bathroom sink and waits to hear the faucet turn off.
It doesn’t.
After a minute, she winds up in the bathroom (this is getting old - people having their breakdowns in her bathroom), and Meredith’s staring at herself in the mirror, the water still running, tube of toothpaste uncapped and laying on the edge of the sink. Tentatively, Cristina places both hands on Meredith’s arms, looking at their reflection in the mirror. Meredith’s eyes are glassy and she lets out one shaky breath at the contact.
“I don’t…” Meredith trails off, and Cristina knows that any hope of coherency is long gone, so she thinks back, hard, to what Derek told her before she got in that car, on their way down the stairs, looking for some sign of something she can do or say to make this better.
And then she remembers, and somehow she just knows that when she whispers, “I understand you,” and feels Meredith shudder, break down, in her arms, that it was the right thing.

Title: Breaking The Habit
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Lexie/Sadie
Rating: PG-13

Prompt: #5 - Boron for femslash100's Periodic Table
Summary: Post 5.13. Lexie's so freaked out that she's sworn off sex.
In her defense, Lexie was so damn freaked out about breaking something, specifically that, again, that she swore off sex for, well, however long that would last.
Of course, then Sadie helpfully pointed out that she really should be swearing off sex with men, since it was their anatomy that was giving her trouble. Then she grabbed Lexie’s hand during a particularly late shift and dragged her into that same on-call room, to the same squeaky cotton mattress, that had gotten her in trouble in the first place.
“Are you kidding?”
“Lexie,” she starts, but has to pause to pull her scrub top over her head. When she’s divested herself of that, shaking out her blond waves, she lets herself finish that thought, “I’m not doing this because it’s particularly warm in here. Just…do it. Believe me, you’ll be thankful when this is all said and done.”
And because Lexie has already had her share of weird sex-related encounters lately, and because Sadie is, apparently, a good friend who would clearly only have her best interests at heart, she hesitantly starts undoing the drawstrings of her scrub bottoms.
“Good girl,” Sadie all but purrs, figuring this will either break a bad habit or start a new one. She’s good with either option.
