This story began as a post 11x08 one-shot and has evolved into a story that carries Meredith and Derek through life leading up to and beyond Derek's tragic car accident. They've built a family, a home, and a support system; they've built a life. Will that all come tumbling down after the accident? Read to find out!
This story is an extension of Love, Loss and Legacy (8x05). How exactly did Meredith and Derek get from the Resident's lounge to holding hands in the elevator?
