A little bit about me

Well, I'm a college student. When I'm not studying, (and I'm almost always actively not studying) I'm writing or obsessing over my TV shows. Ideally, I like to do both at the same time, so fanfic is pretty much the perfect medium for me. I write here at ff.net as well as at my site (http://morgenwrites.livejournal.com). I try to sound literate, but sometimes I fangirl. A lot. And it tends to be all about Grey's Anatomy.

I just adore Meredith. She'll always be my favorite. Hands down, no contest. But thanks to season five, I'm finding Derek much more interesting these days and can safely say I adore him too. These two got me hooked on Grey's and on writing fanfic in the first place.

Due to my obsessive, crazed, fangirl love for MerDer, they're pretty much the only thing I write fic about.

A little bit about my stories

Finished Work - Multichapter fic

And It All Falls Apart - This would be my first attempt at a long piece of fanfic. Unfortunately, at this point I had yet to learn how to spell all the characters' names. (Sorry, Cristina. It was that freaking H.) It picks up after the season two finale and is largely Meredith centric. However it's also the closest I ever get to an ensemble style fic, following Izzie and Addison's stories as well to a lesser degree. Plot summary in a nutshell? Meredith and Derek's messy, somewhat adulterous attempt at reconciliation following the prom.

In Slow Motion, the Blast is Beautiful - Another post season two finale fic. I no longer remember how I managed to write two multichapter fics in one summer. Apparently I used to write really, really fast. (Sadly this is no longer the case.) This is a story told in first person, alternating between Meredith and Derek's POV. It's all about the cautious, confusing steps they take to get back to each other after the prom.

The World Turned Over - Oh, this fic is my baby. And it's about a baby. Funny how that happens. It's set back in the early days of season two, just after the arrival of Addison and the consequent MerDer breakup. Meredith's pregnant. Derek's got a wife. (I discover I absolutely adore writing angst.) It's all about what a pregnancy would have done to Meredith and Derek's not-relationship and why some secrets simply should not be kept silent.

Finished Work - One shots

Act of Contrition - So, Dark Derek. He's pretty much my favorite thing. I'm delighted that season five has brought him all kinds of depth he never had before. Makes for a much more interesting character. This takes place immediately after I Will Follow You Into The Dark (5.17) and looks at how Derek and Meredith deal with what he said to her at the trailer. He's full of lost hope and desperation. She only wants him to be okay. It's a bit of a departure from my normal style. Experimenting and all that.

Drunk, Vulnerable, and Good Looking - This is basically my first ever attempt at fanfic. It's my version of how Meredith and Derek met that night at Joe's. And unfortunately it's rather irrelevant now that we actually know how they met that night at Joe's. Oh well. You have to start somewhere.

My Lady's House - Meredith and Derek are engaged. Let's be clear about this, you guys. They're freaking engaged to be married. It calls for a celebration. Hence, this fic. Full of them celebrating. Obviously set right after Elevator Love Letter (5.19). It's Meredith and Derek finding happiness in their love for each other that night despite all the sadness that's been coming their way.

Porcelain Fists - Ooh, more Dark Derek. He really gets to me. Set immediately after An Honest Mistake (5.16), this is about Derek's grief and Meredith's determination to be there for him through it all in any way she can.

Remember Me as a Time of Day - I was one of those people who was pretty pissed after the season five finale because, after everything Meredith and Derek have been through, they deserve a legal marriage. Not a post-it. So, this is basically me making myself feel better after watching Now or Never (5.24). It's something of an ensemble fic for a change, although still centered around the MerDer story, and it focuses on what could happen if one of the fab five really does die.

The Weight of Water - So, I'm in love with the drowning arc. Always have been. Always will be. This story directly follows the episode Walk on Water (3.15) and is my take on what could have happened between Meredith and the water that day.

Upon A Midnight Clear - Okay, this is technically a two shot, not a one shot, but it fits better here than under the multichapter header. So, whatever. Defying the system here. It's a Christmas story told in two parts - the first Meredith's, the second Derek's. It's fluffy. And happy. Without so much as a drop of my usual angst.

Work In Progress

Love in the Time of Science - This starts after There's No I In Team (5.05), and it's essentially my big, therapeutic, make Meredith and Derek have all those conversations they never had but really should've fic. (Because that's not a mouthful.) This is them as a couple, their love story. It's how they cope with the things they've left unsaid when life throws them headfirst into a situation that is anything but easy.
