This Heart

I don't know where I came up with the idea for this story. I knew I wanted to write a story that took place during season two and I wanted to make even more crap happen to Mer. I wanted to break her down so badly so then Derek wouldn't be able to run away from it. So I thought, what could happen that would just completely ruin what little happiness she has left? Leukemia. That and I really wanted to write a semi-song fic for This Heart by Paramore, because I have realized that Grey's Anatomy is just one, huge Paramore song. Not that that's a bad thing because Paramore absolutely rocks, but their songs make me want to write more one-shots about Grey's Anatomy when I have a million other stories to write for.

The updating on this story won't be as frequent as SGPHS. I do have most of this story planned out and everything, but this story takes a ridiculous amount of research, so the chapters will be a little late in coming. The librarians at my school all seem to think I have leukemia now because whenever I go to the library, I head straight towards the medical texts and indices and start looking up "leukemia" and "chemotherapy". They're starting to freak out a little bit, actually.

And if you haven't read This Heart yet, then I suggest you do. Because I really like it, and I want you to too.

Ciao.
