Cute icons!

josebajm · 03-14-2008, 05:55 AM

Glad you decided to update your fic Lex.

I don't think those icons are the best that I've done, but I honestly like the text.

I'm such a pervert. No erase that, I'm an average 20 year old guy, period. We're all the same way.

This couple has got a lot of foreshadowing that's true. I didn't see it. But mostly because I didn't dissect and analyze the scenes in the way I do now.

mariem201 · 03-14-2008, 12:50 PM

Yeah lex, will read it as soon as I get home, I am sure I will love it, I always love your fic. Plus, Gizzie fics always make me happy, makes up for the mess the show has done with them.

I really hope we get at least one good Gizzie scene the next episode, I felt so robbed the last one when they had like two seconds together, this must not happen again.

Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the first time they make love, will try very hard to make a little Gizzie fic. Not sure it will be any good.

Your icons are great Jose.

Thanks, Joseba! Yeah it was about time lol. I hadn't realized it had been that long until I looked last night, then I was worried no one would remember it.

Thanks, hun! Yeah thats the nice thing about fanfic, it can be a nice world to escape too. I'm working on a much lighter Gizzie fic now, so maybe that will help out later on when I post it.

One year ago today, guys - Scars and Souvenirs aired.

I remember anticipating this ep because of the rumours, and then I came here after it aired and the thread was all full of Squee.

Next ep recap...

3.14 Wishin' and Hopin'

Izzie: Someone's coming.

(George and Callie enter)

Izzie: Damn it!

Bailey: O'Malley, welcome back. You're late.

Richard: Is O'Malley all right?

George: We got married in Vegas!

George: We're married.

Izzie: It's fast, you know? It seems really very fast. Are you...are you even happy?

Callie: We're incredibly happy.

Izzie: Oh yay! Well great! Yay!

George: Show her the ring.

Callie: Oh.

Izzie: Oh! That's so great. Tiny diamonds are great because you know no one will ever try to steal it.

Cristina: Are you stealing patients from the ER?

Izzie: Yes. But only because I have to know that I did not spend my entire inheritance on an empty room with empty beds. Because if I did that I might go crazy and George called dibs on all the crazy this week. Do you think Callie's pregnant?

George: I need to lay down.

Izzie: No, no, no. Wait, hey. Buster, do you know how much it costs to have...these linens laundered?

George: I'm sick, shaky and sweaty. My mouth is dry, my body aches.

Izzie: Fine.

Meredith: How's George?

Izzie: Medically, he's fine. Emotionally, he's a little stunted if you ask me. You don't marry the rebound girl, am I right?

Cristina: You don't marry anyone on a whim.

Meredith: He needs our support.

Izzie: He doesn't need us. He's got his Vegas show wife.

Izzie: Hey. It's the little women. So what are your plans now? You're not moving in are you?

Callie: Nice.

George: Wait, Callie.

Callie: No, it's...

George: Wait. (To Izzie) Unbelievable.

George: You people. You're supposed to be my friends, my closest friends. Callie is an important part of my life now. If you want to drive her away and your masters at it, you'll do it. But if she's gone I'm gone. She's my wife. Calliope Iphegenia Torres is my wife.

George: Don't you dare.

Izzie: Ok.

I remember how much I hated George and Callie getting married, and well.. still do because like Olivia in this episode (loved her line btw), I thought their whole relationship was toxic.

Izzie's expression at the beginning when George announces they're married is very telling. She looks so upset.. and then can't stop talking about the marriage all day. Although what Izzie said about the ring was so mean, I loved the look Bailey gave her, and even Cristina basically cracks up in a 'Did she just say that?' way.

I also loved George's 'Don't you dare.' Heh.

allygrace · 03-15-2008, 04:23 AM

Happy Gizzie Day!

I loved Wishin and a Hopin'

Bitchy Izzie is just too funny.

Hah, she called him Buster ? I never noticed that before

I know I felt bad for Callie durring this episode, because Izzie was just ripping into her. But if you look at Izzie's face when she finds out they got married she looks as if she's in physical pain.

She obviously wasnt being wasn't being mean for the hell of it. There was something there...deeper under the surface. If we only knew then, just how deep.

.

Jherek · 03-15-2008, 04:28 AM

Wishin' And Hopin' was the first episode when I really thought Izzie's feelings for George had evolved beyond mere friendship. Her nonstop ranting and bitchy behavior were very telling. Sometimes it takes losing something--or someone--to realize how much we want it, and that was driven home for her in this episode.

josebajm · 03-15-2008, 05:27 AM

Happy Gizzie day!

Posting the bestestest Gizzie song ever made:

Massive Attack - Protection

This girl I know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don't want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
And you can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her

I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And I don't have no fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
You've got a baby of your own
When your baby's gone, she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a girl and i'm a boy (x4)

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
And I've leaned on me for years
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love, that's the way it should be
Now I can't change the way you feel
But I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel
I'll put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl (x4)

(I've got the download link, if everyone wants to listen to it)

Just PM me, and I'll send you the link.

I'm also posting the 5 Gizzie fics I've made over the last months:

The Beginning after the End
Yes
Special Cases
The One I Love
Don't Let It Haunt You

Lex55 & downinnewyork were my betas.

And thanks Kylie for the recap.

The bitchy attitude of Izzie throughout the episode really implied she had some hidden feelings towards George.

I love the whole episode. Alex's "dude, she's callie o'malley" was priceless. And the comment about the tiny diamonds of Izzie was killer.

Actually I don't think her behaviour was good, I think she should've tried to hide her dissapointment and envy, but I honestly don't blame her. We all have been there.

Kyls · 03-15-2008, 07:01 AM

I was hoping to finish my fanfic for today, but I didn't. But part of it could work as a short ficlet (very short) on it's own... I think. So I'm posting it. And maybe I'll get around to finishing the rest.

Quote:

"I feel like a beached whale." Izzie moaned. "Why did I let you do this to me?"

George half-snorted and dropped down on the bed beside Izzie, stretching out on his back.

"I seem to recall you being a very willing participant. And you don't look like a beached whale, you look like my beautiful wife."

He rolled onto his side and wiggled a little down the bed until his face hovered above her very pregnant stomach. "Besides, he'll be here soon." he said as he kissed the exposed skin of Izzie's huge, rounded stomach.

"She."

"He."

"It's a girl, George."

"Wait, have you been playing with the ultra sound equiptment at the hospital without me there, because.."

Izzie playfully slapped his arm. "No. It's just.. a mum's intuition. I was right about Hallie."

"But.. we have a boy's name picked out. If we have a girl, she'll be nameless."

"You're being dramatic. I'm sure we'll find a girls name that we like just as much as Daniel."

George rolled back to his former position and stared at the ceiling for a moment, before turning his head to catch Izzie's eye. He couldn't help the smile that slowly crept onto his face. "Yeah, we will."

They fell into a comfortable silence with George lost in his thoughts, and Izzie absently rubbing her stomach.

"Help me up? I need some water."

"I can get it-" George said, quickly sitting up.

"No, it's okay. I need to move."

George helped Izzie to her feet, and she'd waddled only a few steps when she suddenly stopped and placed a hand to her stomach. "George?"

George looked up, and noticing the odd expression on Izzie's face - realisation dawned. "Hospital?"

With a nod of her head, Izzie repeated, "Hospital."

Hours later, George was cradleing their new baby daughter in his arms. "Welcome to the world, Dani Eva O'Malley." he whispered, and placed a kiss on her tiny forehead before perching on the side of the bed next to Izzie.

Sorry if there are any errors in there!

allygrace · 03-15-2008, 07:30 AM

Kylie I apsolutely adore your fic, I can't wait to read your full length fan fic now

I wanted to update my fic as well, for the holiday but sadly, time is my enemy.

So instead, I reflected on the past year George and Izzie wise and came up with this. I posted it on the Couples thread but I wanted to post it here because its the "offical" thread, so sorry if you had to read it twice.

******************************************************************
Happy Gizzie Day

I can't believe its been a whole year. I remember watching that episode, and my mouth completly dropped open, my little AU couple... and it actually happened!

And in the months to follow, not only did the sex, actually happen, the drunken sex became "hours of life, that all Izzie could think about and became something George meant more then once."

In...that episode we also had the closet scene. The scene to me, which showed us, how deep this connection between George and Izzie was.

Over the next few months, we saw them struggle, George took care of Izzie when Hannah came, because his place is by Izzie's side. Even if it's not supposed to be.

George:[I] She does. We're just having one of our stupid fights. Do you know how wrong it is if she's really in trouble and I'm not there because we're being idiots? (Meredith tries to walk by him, he steps in front of her) Meredith, please. (edit) [/i]

We even got that amazingly hot kiss in the elevator.

And then it was finale time, and we all crossed are fingers...because we knew something big was going to go down:

IZZIE: [to George] "I am an optimist. I am a fool. I am not sure. Because I'm your best friend, because I love you, if what you want is to be with Callie then I will do everything in my power to support you and help you make your marriage work. But because I'm your best friend, because I love you, I also have to say... that I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you. I can't promise a future, I can't promise perfection, because we're us, I'm me and you're you. no one knows what will happen. But in my heart, I am sure. I'm in love with you George. And I hope you're in love with me too."

Izzie loved George. She loved him so much, and so strongly that she was willing to give him up. She didnt, love him for the the sex, she didnt love him for any superficial reasons. She just loved George period. And she was willing to sacrifice her love, for her best friend. She couldnt promise love, she couldnt promise perfection, because its them. And their roots run too deep for that. But we all know that perfection is overrated. But Izzie loves that George, and that was all that really mattered.

So then, we waited, the long summer and hoped for the best, that maybe just maybe George will have something to say for himself. If we only knew...

George- I love you too

3 little words, and then a fade to black. After a summer of hoping and wishing it couldnt have been better. And then I heard one of my favorite Meridith voiceoverr of all time,

MeridithChange. We don't like it. We fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying, but here's the truth sometimes the more things change the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything.

Sometimes change is good, sometimes change is everything.

George and Izzie arent, the lovestory of the century. There somethng better then that, there real emotional and messy and go through good times and bad. They love each other, they fight for each other and at the end of the day they make each other happy. They arent the love-story of the century but their my, our love story. And that, is something special.

So Happy Gizzie Day guys, and keep faith,

Meridith- The thing about plans is they don't take into account the unexpected, so when we're thrown a curve ball, whether its in the OR or in life, we have to improvise. Of course, some of us are better at it than others. Some of us just have to move on to plan B and make the best of it. And sometimes what we want is exactly what we need. But sometimes, sometimes what we need is a new plan.

Truly Madly Deeply George and Izzie.

Virginie_GW · 03-15-2008, 07:59 AM

mariem201 · 03-15-2008, 01:57 PM

I just made my Gizzie fanfic, I did it in a few hours and it is my first, so sorry if it is terrible, you can hate it if you want:

Lucky ones
Looking at the mess, George could not help but remember that fateful night.

He had been so worried that day, the anxiety gnawing at his stomach, making him feel ill and heartsick. He had been so happy, too happy, it could not last. He did not deserve it, not after what he had did, not after how much he had hurt Callie. Callie, who had loved him so much and who had made him feel like someone again after the Meredith fiasco.

He had never meant to hurt her. When he had proposed, he had been feeling so hollow, so empty, needing desperately to have someone to reach out, to make him feel whole again.

His father’s death had hit him hard. He had felt like he had let him down somehow, that he had not been up to the task. He wanted to do something to make him proud, something he knew would make him happy.

He had remembered how much his dad had loved Callie, his words to him about how good for him Callie would be.

He knew he did not love Callie quite as much as he should, but he was persuaded one day he would learn to. Callie was a wonderful person who loved him, why wouldn’t he learn to be happy and love her like she loved him?

He had been taken aback by Izzie’s resentment of Callie and his marriage. She had never really liked Callie or any of the girls he had been with really, but this was different. She couldn’t seem to let it go. She kept reminding him he had made a big mistake, kept going after Callie, hurting her and making her feel even more insecure. He would never let her know that, but her doubts about his marriage had begun to creep themselves into his mind, adding to the gnawing doubts he already add.

Things were not as he thought they would be. The emptiness was still there, the unhappiness. He also could not help thinking he was not the husband Callie deserved. He never felt quite up to par with her. She always made him feel like he was at fault somehow, like he didn’t quite measure up. He knew she loved him and did not mean to, but somehow he always ended up feeling like a disobedient dog with her.

With Izzie, it had always been so different, he had always felt like he could do anything, that he wasn’t as clumsy or as much as a failure as he always felt.

She noticed him, she rooted for him, she was always on his side.

He felt guilty about thinking that, felt guilty about the number of times lately he had been thinking about Izzie, comparing Callie and her, and how often the comparison always ended up favoring Izzie.

He knew his loyalty should be to his wife. He needed to reassure her, make her feel better, and being friends with Izzie after Izzie’s recent treatment of Callie was out of the question.
So he had decided to cut all links with Izzie. It had been harder than he ever imagined. When Izzie had begged him to forgive her, looking more vulnerable than he had seen her since Denny’s death, when her voice had broken over her Please George, it’s me, it’s us, he had wanted so intensely to hug her and never let her go, like she had hugged him after his father’s death.

Instead, he forced himself not to see the heartbreak in her eyes as he walked away.

Since that day, the image of Izzie was never far from his mind. But he had been able to stay away, until that night where he and Callie had a horrible fight. She had confronted him about Izzie’s feelings for him, said that Izzie, beautiful so full of life and love Izzie had feelings for clumsy, geekly, little him.

He had thought she had lost her mind, but in his mind, he kept wondering, and if he was honest, secretely hoping, she was right.

All of the events later seemed a blur. He had bought the alcohol, went straight to her house, trying not to notice how beautiful she looked even with no makeup on.

He had been a bit rude with her, trying to shake the longing feelings he had looking at her. But she had accepted it all, reaching out to him and trying to make him feel better even after the way he had rejected her.

He remembered drinking too much, trying to drown the doubts about his marriage, the image of his father and those feelings he was experiencing being so close to Izzie.

She had drank a lot too, he was not sure why, maybe she was trying to drown out her own demons.

He had told her what Callie had said, and then when she had laughed, had been disappointed and hurt but not knowing why.

Then they had looked into each other’s eyes and suddenly it hit him, those feelings he always had when he was near her, but never really understood until now.

Looking in her eyes, he knew she had just been hit by the same realization. At that moment, everything disappeared but them.

One night of passion, and his whole world had been turned over.

He had tried to discard it as one drunken mistake, and his mind accepted this explanation, it made it easier to face Callie in the following days and weeks. But, somewhere deep inside, his hear knew his mind was lying to him.

He tried hard to avoid her, to cut off any trace of contact with her, because as soon as he was next to her, the memory of those hours would come flooding back and he would want to do it all over again.

He had never felt this whole, this complete, this gloriously happy being with Callie, but she was the one had had sworn to spend the rest of his life with.

But when Izzie had told him the three little words he had been secretly dying to hear, it changed everything.

He knew he felt the exact same way, and lying to Callie was not sparing her, it was hurting her even more.

Callie was a wonderful person and she deserved to know the truth, she deserved to find someone who loved her just the way he loved Izzie.

Telling her had been the hardest thing he had ever done in his life. Seeing the heartbreak on her face, her beliefs about him painfully crumbling away.

It had been hard having to face her, having to face the people at the hospital who suddenly looked sweet, nice George in a whole new light.

But at the end of the day, sitting on the bench with Izzie smiling radiantly at him, he knew that no other decision could have been made, that the love between him and Izzie, that connection they shared, was not something that could be denied.

They had been so happy together, more happy than he had ever dreamed to be in his life.

But in the last couple of weeks, Izzie had become distant, suddenly. Izzie, who had always meddled in every aspect of his life, always showed up with a smile or a joke to tease him, was suddenly doing everything she could to avoid him.

Sometimes he would feel her burning glaze on him at work, but when he looked back, she would quickly look away.

Her eyes never met his anymore. She invented every pretext not to be near him.

That’s it, George thought. Izzie had woken up from her crazy phase and realized she had mistaken their one night of passion for more.

For him, he was just a friend she had gotten drunk with one night feeling lonely and probably tired of missing Denny and being alone. She had reached out to the one person closest to her, her best friend in the world and, the alcohol helping, had mistaken loneliness and passion for more.

Who was he kidding? Alex was right, why would beautiful, drop-dead gorgeous Izzie settle for clumsy loser him?

Thinking about it, Alex would be more the type she would go for. Attractive, lady-killer Alex with his confidence and charm. Why would Izzie go for him when she could have Alex?

Just at that moment, Izzie came in, looking afraid and unsure. But, suddenly, she straightened her shoulders and came to him, as if she had finally decided what to do.

George, we need to talk, she said in a shaky voice

Here it goes, thought George, bracing himself for the devastation that was sure to come.

I have been trying to tell you this for weeks, but I didn’t know how. I want to tell you, I never planned any of this. I know we just started to go out, and your divorce is barely final, and this is the last thing you need to hear right now, the last thing we need in our lives.

George was trying hard to follow what Izzie was telling him. As always, when in a state of panick, Izzie was talking and talking, the words coming out at a rapid, furious pace.

The words were barely registering in the terrified George’s mind until he heard those words that hit him like a ton of brick:

I know this is not the right time and it will not be easy, but I’m pregnant George. And I want this baby, your baby more than anything in the world. I will understand if you don’t feel the same, but I am keeping our baby, my baby this time.

George felt a wave of emotions hitting him very quickly: shock, then relief, then a surge of pure joy.

Izzie was still looking at him worriedly, when he took her in his arms, spurned her around and planted a big kiss on her

I love you, Iz, he said

I love you too, so much

And then they had spend the next ten minutes just holding each other, feeling like nothing could touch them

Daddy, look at the mess Katie made, came a little voice

Me? Replied a small outraged voice, Harry made the mess

George looked at his 4-year old twins, Harold and Katherine, who were looking pleadingly at him, then at the kitchen and at the attempts at breakfast they had made for Izzie’s birthday, and he felt a wave of tenderness hit him.

Things had not been easy, trying to raise two turbulent kids while working over 12-hoursn shift, but he and Izzie had made it.

Come on, guys, let’s fix all this and bring mommy her breakfast, he said looking at the doughy pancakes and thinking their children had taken their culinary skills from him and not their mother.

The kids fought over who would bring Izzie breakfast and finally settled on both bringing her. Walking into their room, George saw Izzie sleeping, her beautiful blond hair lying all over her face.

He gently brushed it off her face and saw her slowly open her eyes. Seeing him, a big smile lit up her face.

Mommy, mommy, look what we made, came two excited voices

Izzie looked at the weird-looking pancakes and shared an amused smile with her husband

Wow, it looks amazing, aren’t I the luckiest woman in the world to have such a great husband and kids?

No, we are the lucky ones, said George

They smiled at each other, knowing that what they had found was extremely rare indeed, and they were two of the lucky ones.

Sabrinalovesgi · 03-15-2008, 03:06 PM

Happy Gizzie day everyone, I could not believe it that day, my dreams were finally coming true, I never thought they would.

We cannot lose hope ever.

We have to believe such a great love story will never really be over.

Keep hope and keep fighting.

And Marie, I love your fic, aww, Gizzie with twins.

Kylie, I loved your fic too, I see we have the common theme of Gizzie babies

Sacha · 03-15-2008, 04:37 PM

Ok, I have to ask; Whats Gizzie Day?
