morrigan & addison || @wcnderfulthings

"here you dropped this." the blonde admitted as she held out her hand towards the other, a gold ring attached to a loose gold chain. "seemed like it might be something important." mor explained. "the clasp looks like it snapped - i'm sure the antique store in town might have replacement bands if that's what you're after."

[cquity]

"classic, i love that." oakley admitted, nodding as he lead her towards the older artists. "you should find all the classics here, in terms of newer artists i can change the speakers over and you can have a listen at what you're getting yourself into?" he suggested, arching a brow at her.

The redhead smiled when he directed her towards the back of the store. Running a hand over the records, she looked over at him and shrugged. "Ummm," she paused, "Maybe like Duran Duran, The Bangles or like Bon Jovi?" Addison thought she'd get a couple of records of some of her favorite artists and then a couple from new artists. "And then like, any new artists you recommend?"

addison montgomery fanfiction recs by pairing

(although i am *relatively* new to the greys fandom, once i finished season three i immediately obsessively scoured the internet for any addison montgomery centric fanfiction i could get my hands on. here are just a few of my favorite ones for each of my addison ships (of which there are many). this is by no means an exhaustive list. my qualifications for this are that i’m cool and have good taste and spend way too much time thinking about fictional people)

ADDEK:

-“The Climbing Way” by winter machine (this is actually probably one of my favorite fanfictions of all time, period. this author is just absolutely brilliant at capturing their dynamic and all of its complexities. the entire thing is actually from derek’s POV which i was surprised how much i enjoyed considering i can sometimes be a derek hater lol but it provides some really good insight into his character without being as forgiving as canon or as bash-y as some fics (if that makes any sort of sense?). it also combines two of my favorite addek tropes: “sad baby backstory” and “traumatic event forces them to actually confront their issues”. it is also a very captivating portrait of derek and mark’s realtionship and has lots and lots of flashbacks. big angst warning especially for the early chapters.)

-“Some Bright Morning” by winter machine (i just can’t get enough of this author. i love any addek fic that heavily features savvy and weiss bc i think they should have made more appearances in canon. or savvy should’ve at least lmao. weiss was kind of a dick. but i like him in this fic! this is a very very interesting AU because it takes place largely outiside of canon settings and features a lot of OCs. it also takes place around early season one so the mark wound is still very fresh. its set entirely on a small island in georgia during savvy’s mother’s funeral so there’s plenty of forced proximity and bed sharing. the original setting and cast of characters are really fleshed out and completely captivating. like, i would read a whole separate story just about this island and its inhabitants. also features lots of background on savvy and addison’s friendship. and plenty of angst of course. you may be sending a pattern with these recommendations)

-“do you think i have forgotten (about you)” by crime_wives (this one legitimately made me sob. like, my body produced actual tears. angsty one shot. not happy-addek. a perfect snapshot of their tragic ending)

- “Unhinged (AddisonandDerekandMark)” by RulerOfAllThatIsEvilChiFlowers (very dark. very twisty. somewhat non linear.)

- “This Hurt Can Teach Us Both” by darlingwrecks (oh my lord this one is so so addek- bittersweet, sexy, nostalgic, painful and delightful all at once. my favorite thing about this writer is the way they write backstory, especially for the Med School Trio. this is also kind of fun because we never got to see how these two dealt with their post divorce logistics. derek was just kind of like “take all the property and fuck off” which is not at all how these things work lol)

MEDDISON:

- “lately she’s undressing for revenge” by emilyprentits (only read this if you want to be driven to tear your own hair out by the emotions this will make you feel. this is one of the fics that fully convinced me to ship meddison. so so so good and it’s like it was written from inside of meredith’s actual brain)

-“i’ll show you every version of yourself tonight” by withpeopleinperson (two words: stripper addison. read it. be forewarned it’s only one chapter and has not been updated in a few years but it’s a GREAT chapter regardless)

-“the seven stages of intoxication” by theprincessdiarist (meredith grey doling out meredith grey levels of emotional dysfunction. featuring loads and loads of delightfully frustrating mutual pining)

-“Sex and Caring in Seattle” by Bluefall (meredith once again having totally normal and regular feeling about her ex boyfriend’s wife. i love this one because they are both just kind of bisexual disasters and derek is just Also There. i love the way this author perfectly captures meredith’s perpetual inability to navigate her own emotions)

*EDIT: i also realized i forgot to add that these last two were recommended to me by @crime-wives !!!

-“open the floodgates up” by SugarsweetRomantic (this has EVERYTHING you could want in a meddison fic: mutual hurt/comfort, bed sharing, friends to lovers, these two being absolute dumbasses about each other. had me crying and also kicking my feet. genuinely)

MADDISON:

-“Make This Go On Forever” by darlingwrecks (i am so in love with this universe. i usually don’t gravitate toward kid/family centric fics but this one is so so much more than that. it’s maddison, if those two had made a real go of things, stayed in new york, and kept the pregnancy. there’s even some background merder eventually (which is not usually my jam but i like in this context). very very fluffy at times, a bit angsty at others, super in character but iirc i think this was written pretty early on in the show so addison and mark’s backgrounds may be a smidge different than in canon. this is the link to the rewritten version (i think?) on ao3. the author had the original up on live journal back in the day and i could have SWORN i read a sequel that i found a link to in the depths of their LJ but i cannot find it anywhere rn)

-“When I Grow Up” by winter machine (another maddison-if-they’d-stayed-in-new-york-and-addison-kept-the-pregnancy, but with a twist that brings them to seattle to see derek, who they haven’t spoken to in seven years. a fantastic plot but also sort of just a brilliant exploration of how mark and addison would be as parents given their own childhoods and how they have pretty much been cut off from the one healthy(ish) family dynamic that either of them have experienced. there’s also background merder in this one and it actually kind of made me like merder which is a major feat)

-“Celery” by winter machine (a fun little one shot featuring Derek Being An Idiot, Drunk Addison, and Mark Crossing Boundaries. a little bit sad and a little bit funny. again, everything by this author is just great)

JADDISON:

- “A Certain Slant of Light” by darlingwrecks (this is for those of us that were weirded out by addison’s convo with amelia in season 18. a more fleshed out exploration of addison’s mental health during the pandemic. it’s a very raw and honest portrayal of depression and anxiety and how someone like addison would navigate it while being a doctor in a global pandemic and raising an 8 year old. it’s not nearly as bleak as it sounds though. lots of fluff, a little smut. also touches on how addison might’ve grieved mark and derek. and archer makes some appearances which i loved (i know he’s an asshole but i really like addison’s brother lol))

-“Diamonds in the Sky” by Ziaaaaa_sdc (there’s so few jaddison fics out there, probably because of how compressed their relationship timeline was as they tried to wrap up the show, but this writer has several and they’re all so good. there definitely aren’t enough fun AUs for them so i was really excited when i first found this. its Ballet School Jaddison and there’s actually only three chapters atm. no idea if it will be updated ever again but it’s still more than worth a read. a smidge angsty so far. also seems to be setting up a little enemies to lovers arc)

CADDISON:

-“Help Me (With The Butterflies)” by BlackRoseMatron (a very sweet one shot. this author is single-handedly keeping the caddison shippers fed and i love it. they also have some really great meddison stuff)

Part 1 Part 2 Part4 Navigation

—————————————————————

,Do you like women?" Arizona asked softly, as she leaned forward, looking into your eyes. Do you? You never thought about it, the idea of liking woman never even dared to cross your mind. You were raised to think that it's wrong to love the same gender but of course you don't have the same opinion as your parents today. But you? You thought about what you could answer to this question, it was a yes or no question. You would say no obviously.

»l don't know, I never thought about it.“ you confessed feeling really confused. You would've noticed by now, wouldn't you? You never felt so puzzled because of a simple question, honestly it kinda scared you. Feeling uneasy under all the observation you decided to leave. „It was nice talking to you all but I'm gonna go and take a nap, I feel really tired." you added getting on your feet. No one tried to stop you, probably they understood that you needed time to think. After they all said there goodbyes, you made your way down the hallway.

Finally back in the safety of your room, you decided to sit down for a minute or two. The confusion was still pulling on your whole body, making you feel heavy and tired. The possibility of liking women was new to you. Your parents wouldn't approve this change, if you would tell them.

Minutes passed by and you realised something. All these years you found women awfully attractive but you never thought about it as something to do with your sexuality. To busy thinking, you hadn't noticed Addison coming in your room. The tall woman immediately took note of your thoughtful state.

As she neared you, you felt the presence of someone and turned around, feeling your heart skip a beat at the sight. She was breathtaking, you couldn't describe it different. She implied to sit next to you and you happily agreed, making her smile. You scooted over to make room for her on the small bed, as she sat down beside you looking at you for a few seconds, letting out a huff.

„How are you?" you questioned, aware that she must be tired. You studied her soft features, now that she was so close to you. Soft that's what you would call her but she truly had a sharp experience, confidence was something she owned. Nevertheless you felt secure by her side, it was new for you to feel that around someone you just met a few days ago. She was beyond beautiful, so beautiful it can be intimidating but you felt drawn to her, like a lost puppy.

„l'm exhausted, what about you?" she asked, while looking out the window. Her voice was a little raspy but sounded awfully soothing and surrounded you like a warm blanket. It was hard, almost impossible to look away. She looked amazing in the pink scrubs, you would even say she looked cute. „l'm okay:" you muttered absently, gazing at her side profile. You could imagine how tired she might feel right now, being a doctor yourself. You tried to think of a way to make her feel some joy. ,,Are you on a break?"you questioned, leaning on your elbows to get up. Confused by your question she turned to you, being met with your cheeky grin. She couldn't help but smile as well and scoffed. „Obviously, why?"she wanted to know tilting her head. At that you got up, as your feet touched the floor you walked around the bed and reached your hand out. Addison looked amused at you but took your hand immediately. Her hand was soft and warm and you remembered that you never felt her skin on yours before . It felt good, really good but you had to focus, if you don't wanna embarrass yourself in front of this amazing woman. So you gently pulled her up, following every move she made with your eyes, until she stood in front of you. You should take a step back, you were so close to her, if you leaned in you would feel her breath on your skin.

Okay now you’re were just imagining, if you would lean in, the lips of yours would met the skin under her chin, as she was a bit taller than you. But that could be interesting to, her skin looked soft and you would really like to kiss all over it. You couldn’t believe yourself, it was wrong to think like that. You continued looking at her skin, her neck, her collarbone, wanting to know what it must feel like to let your fingertips run over her.

A gentle squeeze on your hand, pulled you out of your thought. Looking up you found the older woman already looking at you. She tilted her head and raised an eyebrow „ Are you alright down there?” she asked, making fun of your high difference. Realising she must have noticed you checking her out, you slightly turned your head away, looking down and taking a step back. As on cue, your cheeks turned warm, letting you know you’re turning red. Trying to hide your state, but still holding her hand, you made your way to the door, pulling her with you. To your dismay you heard her chuckling behind you, as she leaned down to your ear. „ You’re blushing, honey.” she whispered, making your heart skip a beat or two at the pet name. You weren’t sure if you could talk properly, so you just gave her a pouting look.

„Where are we going?” Addison wanted to know, as you two left the hospital. „Just for a walk.” you told her, hoping she would come along. She was, still holding your hand.

—————————————————————

Over the next two weeks, Addison came to your room every day to talk, go for a walk or grab lunch together in the cafeteria. You would enjoy this time a lot and still thought about all of your many conversations. You mostly talked about your lives before you two met and you learned a lot about her.

„Y/N, your surgery is planned for this evening, so prepare yourself and don’t worry, I will take good care of you.” Amelia informed you, while checking your chart again. Slowly you started noticed the time until surgery was getting shorter and shorter. The realisation hit you and it felt too real. You were going to have surgery. You were scared that something could go wrong, you could loose your ability to speak, hear, see, walk and it wasn’t unlikely to die. You already decided that you wouldn’t want to be hooked up to machines for the rest of your life, so as you came to the hospital three weeks ago, you made sure to sign all the papers.

As Amelia left the room, your fears pushed down on your chest, it felt harder to breathe. Your hands started shaking and you couldn’t think. It felt like all the air was gone and the room got smaller. Struggling to get air in your lungs, you panicked, pulling with your hands on your t-Shirt trying everything to help yourself breathe.

After a minute fighting, you felt soft hands taking yours, pressing down on each finger, trying to distract you. „It’s okay, breathe with me.” you heard Addison’s voice. She started breathing with you, still gently pressing on each of your fingers. „Everything is gonna be just fine.”she cooed caressing your hands. Slowly your breathing steadied and your hands stopped shaking. Finally able to look up, you meet her kind eyes looking worried at you.

„I’m really sorry, I didn’t mea-“ you started. „Shhh, come here darling.” she whispered taking you in her arms, laying down on your bed with you in her arms. She adjusted your position pulling you on top of her. Your head was on her chest as one of her hands caressed the baby hair on the back of your head. Her other hand was placed loosely on your back, holding you in place. It was the first time you were so close to her and if you’re honest it felt really good. Taking the opportunity, you hugged her closer and snuggled into her. Your legs hung around her middle almost hugging her. As she noticed your needy behaviour, she chuckled but didn’t say a word about it. After a few minutes she pulled the blanket up, on the two of you , tugging you in, caressing your back. You really enjoyed having her close to you, it felt warm and comfortable. Letting your eyes close you drifted off to sleep, relaxing completely in her arms.

—————————————————————

Feeling well rested and comfy, you started to wake up, stirring a bit in your sleep. You laid really soft, at first you didn’t realised you’re on top of Addison, letting your hands wander, as you woke up completely. „Are you enjoying yourself?” the older woman chuckled, amused at your hands caressing her side. At that you almost jumped, looking around startled. As you noticed your position your cheeks grew hot, making you huff in embarrassment. As you were about to stand up, you felt her pulling you down. „Relax honey, It’s fine.”she assured you, making you smile. At that you laid back down, snuggling into her. You never slept this good alone or with someone else.

But soon realisation hit you. „I’m gonna have surgery, what time is it?” you asked Addison, still laying on her chest. She started playing with your hair, as she took her phone out, checking the time. „Your surgery is in an hour.”she told you, trying to catch your eyes. You never told her when your surgery is, so she must have informed herself or she just saw it on the surgery board. „We can stay like this for the next hour.”she mentioned, looking down to you hugging her tight. You nodded exited, and looked into her eyes, as she chuckled at your joy about cuddling with her. As she stopped laughing, you stared into each other’s eyes. And for a split second you thought about kissing her, licking at her bottom lip, pulling her in until all of the air left your lungs. The minutes flew by, with the two of you just looking at each other, enjoying the calm moment.

„You’re warm.” you let her know, making her smile. She is really beautiful, you thought. Again you wanted to lay your lips on hers, the image playing in your head over and over. Making you blush and hide your head under her chin, you snuggled your face between her neck and shoulder, smelling her perfume.

Strangely you wanted to stay like this forever, in her arms. But for now, one hour is enough.

@fatalelity vanessa bloom + addison montgomery

"hey..." vanessa's head turned on a swivel as she sat on the edge of the patient bed, legs dangling over the side. impatience ran through her, feeling abandoned in her time of need. truthfully, she hadn't paid enough attention to the person who brought her into the emergency department. their voice was too high-pitched to take seriously, and vanessa was already predisposed to ignore any preachy-doctor types that crossed her path. "hello!?"

as she saw someone pass by, flames of red catching her eye, vanessa grabbed at the curtain and pulled, hollering in the woman's direction. "hey! you! yeah, ginger rogers," she called, picking on the person with distinguishable features she could point out. "yeah, hey, i'm sure you're busy," doctors always were. "but i've been waiting for someone to stitch me up for an eternity." vanessa nodded to the gauze on her forearm. "and i'd really like to get out of here soon before i get bored enough and remember that i have plenty of lawyers in my contacts that are well versed in medical malpractice suits, so..."

Summary:

Part 2: Uncle Archer comes visit

Notes:

I wasn't planning on a second chapter, but your comments inspired me to. So here's a sweet exchange on this verse, this time including Archer.

Meredith woke up to the sound of laughter echoing through the sunlit room. She blinked her eyes open, adjusting to the morning light streaming in from the window. Beside her, Addison lay peacefully, her fiery red hair cascading over the pillow. Sharing a bed with Addison each felt like every morning was Christmas, the warmth of her body beside hers, the sweet scent of her invading her pores first thing in the am. It was the utmost joy, a feeling of at last being whole, something Meredith wouldn’t have imagined to ever have in her life.

As Meredith sat up, she saw their two-year-old daughter, Ella, standing by the side of the bed, bouncing with boundless energy. Ella was a perfect blend of both her mothers, with Meredith's striking eyes and Addison's vibrant hair. She had inherited their determination and strong-willed nature, often surprising them with her quick wit and feisty personality.

"Good morning, my little firecracker," Meredith said, her voice filled with affection. Ella squealed with delight and launched herself into Meredith's arms. Meredith hugged her tightly, relishing the warmth and love that radiated between them.

“Morning, mama,” Ella babbled, her eyes carried with early morning bliss became more evident with her tiny yawn. Meredith melted with their baby in her arms, leaning to peck the top of her slightly red nose. (It was winter and although the house was warm with the heater, Addison hated when the weather indoors was like a torchfire. So they were always closer to colder than hotter. Meredith would often make jokes Addison was simply too hot to handle any warm temperatures. And although they kept Ella with plenty of blankets, she’d often kick them off throughout the night.)

Addison stirred awake, smiling as she witnessed the heartwarming scene. She reached out her hand to rub Ella’s back. "I see our little tornado is already in full force this morning," Addison chuckled.

Meredith nodded, her eyes sparkling with adoration. "No doubt about that..."

Ella rolled out of Meredith’s arms to come crawl with Addison, her head on the curve of her mother’s neck. “Morning, darling,” Addison told her, leaning to peck the top of her head, her hand smoothing out the sweet red curls that were beginning to reach below her ear.

When she was first born, Ella had very little hair, but for the past six months it seemed to have just picked up on its growth. She was a stunning sight, really, a perfect mix of Addison and Meredith. Thanks to Archer having donated the sperm, they were able to have a baby that was very much them, blood and features. Not that they hadn’t considered adopting or even a non-family member donor, but when Archer stepped in and offered them it all just felt very fitting. Addison could withstand the jokes he made to her in private when she looked every morning to the perfect mix of Grey-Montgomery genes.

- abjuration was discovered by her birth mother before ilyana would ever know. the family were weather-worn and poverty stricken, a number amongst many of wenchinka's hungry. their waning bodies a glint in a vulture's eye. no ointment could curb the edge, nor could it heal the lesions which bore holes into the flesh. but still, they held their daughter, weeping on their knees at the rot which had formed within this kingdom. as they pleaded with the gods of old, their babe curled within their hold, the wounds began to heal and a steady glow illuminated from the blue eyes of ilyana. out of fear for what could happen, ilyana's mother fled to the castle and begged for their protection. they took her child in exchange from a coin-filled purse, granting the child nobility and her birth mother peace of mind.

- abjuration (the ability to make physical or magical barriers, banishment, regeneration, healing, augmentation) is also the only power she is privy to as of yet. whilst ilyana also possesses chronokinesis (the ability to manipulate time, including time travel at more advanced levels), this remains undiscovered and has the potential to be unearthed during something monumental (future plot perhaps???).

- as a child, ilyana befriended the son of a family beyond the confines of the castle - a boy of no noble birth but a heart far greater. though he was believed to be vrajit, he was often found wielding a sword within the far corner of the marketplace; sinking the blade into a makeshift dummy. she shadowed him always, sneaking out at the first sight of dawn to play and fight in unison. he taught her the importance of wielding swords and shooting arrows - how to survive well beyond the power she harboured. as they grew, their roles switched and he shadowed her in return; watching in awe as she threw an ale back quicker, shot an arrow swifter and rode a horse faster just to best him. when the battlefield called, they remained inseparable and only ever parted ways when sent to differing posts. but this decision, to send the two to opposing lines, was ultimately costly. she believes she felt it before she knew; the final blow which sent her friend to his knees, a sword striking straight through his sternum. by the time she had reached him, he had long since passed, curled atop soil in a state far more childlike than the man he had since grown into. in return, ilyana had now discovered the harsh truth of her ability: it could not wake the dead.

- a well-known trait of ilyana's is the selfishness she possesses, though it is not as textbook as it may originally seem. she cares deeply for the people of wenchinka, a circumstance which could one day be her downfall, and she will insist on doing whatever she can to better the lives of those within the nation. whether it be ensuring her acts of service to walochnia are not so freely gifted, opting to gather useful intel or manipulating the tactical decisions made by those from neighbouring nations, ilyana will prioritise wenchinka above all else.

- when dusk falls and the night sets in, ilyana is typically found on horseback, adorned in her cloak, pursuing towards nearby infirmaries. she is frequently considered a raven of sorts, as she tends to be ushered towards those who are near their end - her power some holy miracle that forces death to be patient. though this is an act which remains unspoken amongst her family, there are few who have knowledge of lady ghita's choice - whether it be a patient or those she works alongside. for her safety and the safety of those within walochnia, they ensure it remains a secret.

"so have you decided whether this hospital is better than grey sloan?" jo asked, leaning against the bench as she looked over at addison with a small smile on her lips. "i think it's less chaotic here for some reason but home is home after all."

[cquity]

jo smiled softly at the other. "fantastic because i wasn't actually going to take no for an answer." the brunette admitted, offering the other her arm. "let's go before you change you mind." the doctor teased, the smile on her lips growing even wider by the minute. "should we head to a bar first? or should we get our face painted and bejewelled?" she suggested, wiggling her eyebrows in anticipation.

@cquity asked: ❝ you wanna come to pride with me? ❞ (jo & addison)

In all of her years of living, she hasn't actually gone to pride. She is a supporter of LGBTQIA+ rights but she's never had the need or time to actually go to an event. Addison can admit that she's had her fair share of crushes on women throughout the years but what woman doesn't? Nothing's ever come of those crushes so she's almost positive she isn't into women. It was nearing the end of her shift and the parade started in an hour. The redhead lucked out and actually got a decent amount of sleep in an on-call room last night so she wasn't tired. There was no need to head straight home. "Actually yes," she said, nodding. "I would love to go. I've never actually been to Pride before."

beats and bated breaths ring louder than she could've ever anticipated. perhaps, it's the adrenaline pumping through her veins, driving away any useless, anxious drivel she repeats to herself as if they are some type of ritualistic mantra. doctor montgomery can't afford to think beyond the scope of patching this wound — she can't think about the twinge of concern of how selina kyle's breaths seem to slow on command nor how it seems hallucinatory of her to seemingly feel the cat's heart beat dangerously slow. without the luxury of the equipment she's grown accustomed to, the most important tools are her hands and instincts.

eyes magnetized by the fragments of gold, slow and steady hands maneuver the apparatus, removing each shining debris —— after all, it is only her life in the doctor's hands ... no pressure.

then silence amidst the soft sound of a controlled stream of water irrigating is unsettling. a certain complexity presents itself as she teeters between anticipating a snide remark and grateful for her request followed without much fuss.

blue eyes instinctively follow the path towards her face — a cruel irony to witness such a delicate being subjected to endure a torturous procedure and to bear the brunt of the pain. droplets from wrung out pieces of gauze echoes slightly, her gaze focussing on the cat's features ( it's easier to look at than the wound, she will admit ) whilst carefully packing and then sealing it off.

that's the most she can do for now.

eyes both curious and anxiously anticipating for movement, for a sign of consciousness —— after all, she has a litany of questions she needs to ask. but until then, it's the closest face cloth dampened by warm water. hands careful, addison presses the wet cotton against soft, bloodstained skin. gentle like a caress, she rids a decent amount of red.

she better not die on her.

the cat knows how to go away.

when she was little, too little to understand being ripped apart, she’d do it all the time. just go away. she’d ignore the fresh, slicing pain of every burn and every strike and she’d just leave. easy, after awhile. a spot on the wall, one distant focal point is all she needs.

find a spot. find a spot and let yourself leave. wade into the quiet around you, let it ripple up and listen. a river, right? yeah. a river. a river with waves that are too rocky, too choppy, it’s hard to grab purchase, the thing won’t stop rocking —

she grits her teeth against the stars that explode behind her eyes and meets the other’s gaze with an unwavering moment of decision. blown pupils could wave in the deep, enthralling brown of those eyes.

— a river, right? a river, yeah. water’s too rough and it’s too loud around you, relentless, unkind. don’t fight with it, move with it, understand it and take each fragment. find the spot and focus. her hair is red like you don’t understand, it’s easy to focus on it, it shimmers bronze. blink, pale and yet somehow so present and so absent at once.

dissociation is so easy for her. she’s doing it almost all the time, anyway. fucking idiot.

she can see that worrying pool of crimson and forces her mind to bend. a train, simple, imagine a train. her breaths come in, hard and constricting, slow to a forcible calm. a train, easy. the pendulum swings as it goes by… beat — beat — beat — she wills her heart to slow, bites down on her cheek so hard she feels it bend and twist around sharp incisors. retracted claws clench in time with her own heart-rate, a forcible focus foisted onto her so utterly unbreakable she’s the only one who can take it out.

she breathes in a slow stutter, lifts her chin to demand her swimming vision stills.

this isn’t how achilles dies.

pain was her first language; she’s fluent. the burn is only enough to eke out of her sharp breath, soundless but for the low insistence she won’t allow out of herself. the doctor has no clue — selina can tell her all about what it feels like to watch your heart stop beating, your chest cavity cracked open like fresh lobster.

pain might make more sense than the careful movement of addison’s hands, besides. might be more logical to her. being touched kindly is maddening; she salivates at the concept, a beaten, starved animal seeking out its next reason to fear.

she has eight lives left.
