This is an AU of the TV show Greys Anatomy. There will be some major differences then what happens in the show so be prepared for that.

First of all and most important, Meredith and Derek are married before coming to Seattle Grace. A few characters will not be in this story, for example Mer's friend Sadie does not exist in this story, therefore she never went backpacking across Europe. Derek and Meredith will have been married for about 7 years but have known each other for about 8-9 years.

Relationship wise, obviously MerDer, BurkTina in then beggining, eventualy Crowen, Maddison. There will be Izzy/George and Izzy/Alex but most likely it won't last. Japril will be a thing eventualy as well as Jolex.

Now the biggest question I have for you readers is, should Meredith and Derek already have a kid when Mer starts her internship, or should I have them wait until she is a resident? If they have a kid already, then he/she would be about 4 years old as they would of had him/her in the months before Meredith attended med school
