Title: Send Your Lifeboats Out For Me
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Alex, Izzie, Meredith, Cristina, Lexie | Alex/Izzie.
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,043
Prompt: #20 - Laughter for [info]lover100
Author's Note: This relies on knowledge of 2.16/17 which is the bomb episode.
Summary: Post S5 finale. Alex has gotten to the point where he no longer pauses to think, to come up with his smart-ass comments or his make sure his game face is in place, he just moves on autopilot.

hold on let me get the words out before i burst )

Title: Give Me A Break With This Heartache
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Alex/Izzie
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,261
Prompt: Written for [info]kickaboutheart as part of the alphabet meme (g is for goodbye). Also using this for #17 - Forbidden at [info]lover100
Author's Note: Um, this deals with illness/possible death in a non-negative way. I don't know, give me the prompt 'kitten' and I'll write about someone's childhood trauma over losing a pet, but give me 'goodbye' and i'm all 'life is beautiful'. Also, I took a ton of liberties with this -- sorry about that.
Summary:Spoilers up to 5.19 -- full of references to prior episodes. This is the dance they do, before every major surgery, before every procedure. Dancing around the elephant in the room and the words they'd rather not say. They never can quite get it right.

think it's best if we give it a rest )

Title: Speeding Cars
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy

Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,616
Author's Note: This comes from one too many discussions I've had with people. And really bad ideas at midnight.

He keeps looking in the rearview mirror )

her sigh sounds a bit like giving up )

I can't write. Prompt me.

Guidelines:

Fandoms: Lost, Grey's Anatomy. BSG, Gossip Girl, Oz, anything else that you know I watch. Any pairings go.
Prompt me with a fandom, character/pairing, and either a prompt word, song lyric, or picture.

I'm trying to get back in the habit of doing more than one fandom, so, really, you're helping me here.

Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Izzie, Alex, Denny | Izzie/Alex, minor Izzie/Denny
Word Count: 1,249
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: #9 - Corpse for [info]writing_rainbow
Author's Note: Lighter than the last fic from me -- I don't know what to call this other than me working through my issues once more.
Summary: Post Season 5.08. His hands feel too heavy along her body, suffocating, but even so it's still better being tethered to something than just falling and never landing.

She wakes up in two different places that morning )

Title: I Can't Remember When The World Turned Slowly
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Alex/Izzie
Word Count: 261
Rating: PG
Author's Note: Shamelessly fluffy. Not even trying to be anything else at this point. But it's a double-drabble.
Summary: Post 5x05. You know they got in this habit where something is just supposed to go wrong; she just expects it now. But maybe expecting the unexpected really makes it the expected.

The strangest part is waking up )

Title: Ripping Out The Seams (Five Dresses That Izzie Stevens Wears)
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Izzie | Alex/Izzie
Word Count: 1,672
Rating: PG-13
Author's Note: Takes place from S1 - S4, then AU.
Summary: She isn't anything like the people here. Not one of them. And it isn't just her dress that feels too bright, it's her hair and her smile, her demeanor, and she hates that she's doubting herself. Two seconds with this guy and she's doubting herself.

Her smile never falters )

Title: Funny How It All Works Out When You've Given Up On It
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Izzie, Cristina, Alex, Meredith | Alex/Izzie
Word Count: 1,664
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: #18 - Banana for 25_foods
Author's Note: To say this is off-season is an incredible understatement. Forgive the setting, I just crave writing our former interns interactions. Also, I'm taking a guess as far as the timeline goes.
Spoilers: Up to 4.16/17 - Freedom
Summary: If anyone ever asks how she spent New Year's Eve 2007 she's going to be really hard-pressed to tell them the truth. She'll make up some like about parties or Times Square and too much champagne. Whatever the story is it won't be 'suturing a banana out of boredom on a gurney in a basement corridor of Seattle Grace'.

Word Count: 1,456
Rating: PG-13
Author's Notes: I'm struggling to write Grey's lately, so lets call this an attempt to get back into the habit.
Summary: Post finale. These are the things you can never forget: that recipe of your mom's, the exact shade of that dress, and the spot along the curve of your hips where his hand used to rest.

Word Count: 4,281
Rating: PG-13
Author's Notes: My flist overwhelmingly voted for this fic -- I hope it doesn't disappoint. This is also the follow-up to the Meredith fic I posted last week.
Summary: Post finale, set about a year or so after that. Her fingernails press into the doorframe before she becomes aware that she's either going to break a nail or screw up the frame and she stops. "These things don't end well for us. Something always goes wrong."

Rating: PG
Spoilers: Post 4.16/4.17 - Freedom
Author's Note: And here starts the on-slaught of post finale fic. I owe this one to my bff.
