So that no one will have to play (much) catch-up, I've put off updating for almost a week now, I think. BUT tonight's a new episode, so I've decided to post a new one every Thursday until 1: the alert system starts working again, or 2: Taye Diggs shows up to maybe whisk Addison away to LA. Which should be in May, so not that much longer!
Death
She tells herself that, as a person of science, she is used to the idea of death.
(The forbidden fruit tastes like denial. She always eats too much and ends up with more knowledge than she wants.)
A long time ago, Addison had wished she was dead. Not long ago, she'd just wished the girl would grow up.
Admittedly, she still doesn't like her very much. Not hating is not the same as liking.
But right now?
Right now, Addison only wishes Meredith will live, because the other option seems impossible.
Reference: Forbidden fruit is in the Bible. It's what tempted Eve and then Adam (ignore the thing about the snake...) Adam and Eve...I feel a Maddison ficlet coming up about that. Watch for it after the end of this.
