Author's Note:- I've been reading all these sad depressing stories of the post S8 finale and I just wanted to break free of the mould. So here's my AU story. It's been floating around my head since the beginning of S8 and I finally decided to put it together. Please Review so that I know people might be interested to read something other than "What happens Next" fics. If I get enough encouraging reviews I shall take this story forward and complete it. Thank You.

Disclaimer : All recognizable characters belong to Shonda Rhimes. The Ones you don't readily recognize belong to me. I loved playing with the characters. Hope you enjoy reading them.


Story Background-

The Season 8 finale never took place which simply translates to- Everyone at SGMW is healthy and living and no one has been fired.

Also the time frame has been adjusted so that Alex, Meredith, Cristina, Jackson, April and others are in their fifth year of residency but there is still a long time left for the boards.

But Arizona's friend Nick is here at SGMW for his treatment and the story picks up from when Arizona learns that the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes and the situation is way more critical than they first assumed.
