Meredith & Derek
(Grey's Anatomy)
Current status: Post-it married (Is that even legal?)
The Beginning: Before Meredith started her internship at Seattle Grace, she went to a bar, met a man and slept with him. Little did she know that she'd meet him again the next morning - as her new boss, neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd, who just moved to Seattle, too.
Course of the Relationship: Meredith didn't want a relationship with her boss, but Derek clearly wanted her. After some flirting, they slept with each other again and got caught by Bailey. When they managed that and Derek seemed to be ready to commit, his wife Addison came to Seattle, trying to reunite with him. Derek left Addison because she slept with his best friend Marc. Although Meredith pleaded that he'd choose her, he decided to give his marriage another try, but both were still in love. At a prom in the hospital, they slept with each other, ending Derek's marriage and eventually reuniting them. Meredith struggled with her mother's disease and her past and almost drowned. Their relationship is strained as he moves faster than she wants and they break up, only to have a lot of break-up sex. When he starts to behave like a boyfriend again, they break up again, but he says he'll wait for her. She isn't ready and so he begins dating a nurse, Rose. He tells Meredith he has waited long enough, but they still spend time togethere because they're working on a clinical study. Meredith undergoes psychotherepy and is ready to commit to him.
The End & Future: They move in together and take baby-steps to being a good couple. He goes through a hard time because he killed a patient and Meredith is there. He asks her to marry him, but she only says yes the third time, when he's doing it right. They get married on a post-it after they gave their (or better Izzie's) dream wedding to Izzie.
When I fell in love with them: I think in one of the first episode I saw of Grey's Anatomy, there was the scene with them in the elevator. So much love and lust, but they couldn't be together. That got me hooked on that show and that couple.
Why I like them: They are the heart and soul of Grey's Anatomy and their chemistry drives it. He's so very, very cute (and that hair ;) ) and she, well she's dark and twisty, but they still belong together. I especially like their light moments, their flirting and when they are just together. I love the concept that although he used to be married, he sees now that he belongs with her and not with Addison (although I liked Addison). They are unique and not the usual couple (the post-it wedding and the proposal come to mind), but they're romantic.
Best Moment: Everything that happened in an elevator: their hot kiss in season 1, his longing for her in season 2 and his marriage proposal in season 5.
Saddest Moment: I almost cried when Meredith drowned and he was fighting for her to live. I always thought this was the saddest moment, but then came season 5 and Derek hit the engagement ring with a baseball bat and he was soo angry, but she still stood by him. Sad and so romantic.
Why not Nr.1? The reason why this couple isn't number one? It's definetly not Derek's fault who is so damn cute and hot I get teary eyes. To tell the truth: Meredith can be very whiny and sometimes I don't think she deserves Derek. On the other hand: He lied to her about being married.
Miscellaneous: Dubbing problem: I love Derek's voice in English and Meredith's in German (kinda hate Ellen Pompeo's voice), so what's it gonna be? ;)
