Author has written 10 stories for Grey's Anatomy, and Elementary.

I swore I wouldn't let myself get sucked into another fandom...

Famous last words. ;)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Grey's Anatomy or any of the characters therein. They belong to Shonda Rimes, who I respect and hate alternately, depending on what the characters are doing in any given episode. As Phoebe would say, "Not-NOT mine."

Update as of 4/29/15 - Fear not, fellow (perhaps former?) Grey's fans. I'm back. I promise to use my words to try and help fix the relationship we all love. Please be patient with me. I ask only for your eyes and your trust.
