Grey’s Anatomy 18x18: Kaimelia

[fyeahkaimelia]

collecting these. feel free to add more

[crazy-dog-lady-81]

Hinting at Kai's return to us?

[afterglowlws]

If greys anatomy actually breaks up Amelia and Kai…oh I’ll be so angry. They really wrote Kai as Amelia’s soulmate, it’s the happiest and most free she has ever been.

Meredith just left. Maggie just left. Amelia was already feeling lonely and abandoned. Then Kai comes in, and it seems like Teddy was on board with letting them do their research in Seattle. The set up was RIGHT there. Why bring up the possibility of Seattle just to not actually go through with it? Why have Kai act like they only work because of long distance? You expect me to believe the same Kai who said they couldn’t sleep without Amelia suddenly thinks Amelia is too clingy?

I’m just saying, if they write Kai off it’s really gonna feel like they just wanted a non-binary character for brownie points but didn’t want to actually have to keep writing for them. So I really hope they prove me wrong and they keep Kai and Kaimelia around

[kai-amelia]

Okay but Kai and Amelia having a mini coffee date before meeting with David and Meredith????? Did anyone notice this????

[flurry-of-beaus-pop-pop]

We know that based on the synopsis, Amelia and Kai’s relationship is tested in the next episode, but what if it’s not a bad test...

In the promo, Amelia tells Kai that she spirals when people leave her... what if this leads Kai to realizing that they don’t want to leave Amelia anymore, paving the road for Kai to transition full time to Seattle next season 👀

A belated Kaimelia Halloween fic

**CONTENT NOTE: brief mention of gender dysphoria -- but I promise the point of this story is queer joy**

---

     Kai is in Seattle for the weekend for the first time in almost a month, looking forward to a no-plans Friday night with Amelia. “No plans” really means door shut the moment they get upstairs at Meredith’s, means Amelia pressed breathless against the door while Kai kisses down her neck. There’s not so much you can do in a house this crowded — someone is always home, with the potential to overhear. Making the most of that kind of situation requires creativity, and Kai appreciates a challenge.

     But tonight Amelia says, “Wait. I have good news and bad news. Which do you want first?”

     Kai straightens up, disappointed. Even if the tone of Amelia’s voice tells them that the bad news is nothing catastrophic, they know what they prefer. “Bad news first, always.”

     “We got invited to a party. Teddy and Owen’s party. And I wanted to say no,” Amelia says. She grimaces, “But Teddy was so excited and I … said yes.”

     Kai laughs. “Is that all?”

     “House parties with my exes haven’t been your favorite thing, historically.”

     Kai has to give her that.

     “We don’t have to stay long,” Amelia says. “I’d like to make it back here before everyone else.”

     “Oh,” Kai says. “Is that the good news? House to ourselves?”

     Amelia laughs. “We could get a hotel. You know, like normal?”

     “If I don’t stay here occasionally, your sisters start raising their eyebrows,” Kai says, half-laughing. It’s funny … but also a little mortifying.

     “Raising their eyebrows?” Amelia asks, sounding skeptical.

     “Yes,” Kai insists. “Last time I dropped you off, I came inside. And when they thought I wasn’t looking, they had this weird, silent conversation with each other. There was a lot of eyebrow-raising.”

     “Oh, baby,” Amelia says, chuckling. “That’s because your shirt was inside-out.”

     Kai feels their face go up in flames. They sit on the bed, raking a hand through their hair. “Oh, god. Meredith and I are colleagues — or, we were. Could be again, if David gets his way. And I walked into her house with my clothes on wrong.”

     Amelia practically waves the notion of propriety away. “Did I ever tell you how Meredith met my brother?”

     “No. Would it make me feel better?”

     Amelia shrugs. “Probably.”

     “Well — wait. You had good news.”

     “Oh,” Amelia says, turning on her heel and hurrying to the closet. She flings open the door, pulls out a garment bag, and spins around. “This is the good news!”

     She unzips the bag with a flourish, pulling out what looks like a pirate shirt, then a blazer that she might’ve Bedazzled. She looks at Kai expectantly, eyes practically sparkling. “What do you think?”

     “Did I … leave that blazer here?”

     “No,” Amelia says, like the idea is preposterous. “I ran to the store last night. I guessed the size, but it looks right.”

     “You made me a costume. And my costume is …?” They’re totally lost. “A glam-rock pirate?”

     “No!” Amelia says, flinging the clothes at them playfully. “You’re David Bowie in Labyrinth.”

     Kai laughs, holding the jacket out and looking at it again. They see it now, and a lump immediately forms in their throat.

     Amelia asks, brow furrowed, “Did I do that much of a hatchet job? I can fix a rare brain tumor, but I haven’t used a Bedazzler since I was Ellis’ age, so —“

     Something warms inside of Kai, and they fight the urge — a ridiculous impulse — to hold the jacket to their chest. They clear their throat and look at Amelia. “I love it. I just didn’t think you remembered, I said one time —“

     “That David Bowie has given you gender envy since Labyrinth. It was so specific and so you,” Amelia shrugs. “I wasn’t going to forget that.”

     Kai shakes their head. “This is the first time I’ve ever looked forward to party.”

     Grinning to herself, Amelia turns back to the closet, retrieving her own puffy white shirt — lotta puffy white shirts in Labyrinth, Kai realizes — and matching vest. “I know it’s not quite as good as having this place to ourselves for the night. But I think we might be able to swing that, too.”

     “Yeah?”

     “Ellis and Bailey are at sleepovers, Meredith’s with Nick. And Maggie and Winston are chaperoning Zola’s school’s Halloween dance tonight — Mer got asked, but Zo said there was no way she’d be going if her mom was chaperoning,” Amelia laughs.

     “I’m a little surprised Zola’s going to a dance at all,” Kai says, sliding one arm, then the other, through their white shirt.

     “Us too,” Amelia says. “With everything she’s been dealing with, she wasn’t sure if she wanted to go. But she and her friends have had a group costume planned for months. So Maggie promised Zo that if she gave it a shot, she could sit in the gallery with us during this huge transplant next month.”

     Kai laughs. “Your family’s really something.”

     “If you’re in town that day, you can sit in on the surgery too,” Amelia offers.

     “And what do I have to do to make that happen?” Kai asks, pulling Amelia in by her hips.

     “I’m sure you’ll come up with something,” Amelia says, and then she sighs. “Later tonight, that is.”

     “Gives me time to think,” Kai says, like they don’t already have plenty of ideas.

     “We leave in half an hour,” Amelia frowns, stepping out of Kai’s embrace. “Which gives us barely enough time to get ready.”

     "You doing the crazy owl eye makeup for me, too?"

     “Only if you want."

     "Oh, if I'm going to do this, I'm doing it."

     "Alright." Amelia grabs an eyeshadow palette and an eyebrow pencil off of the top of the dresser and sits beside Kai on the bed, taking their chin in her hand gently.

     Kai says, “Must be some surgery.”

     “Huh?”

     “Next month. That’s got to be a pretty good transplant," Kai says, eyes still shut. "I mean, no one actually has fun at school dances, right?”

     “We were just talking about that, actually,” Amelia says. “Because Meredith, Maggie and I weren’t the most well-adjusted human beings before med school. Or after. But dances … they just seem like a thing Zola should try, right?”

     Kai shrugs. “I went to a couple of swim team formals just because you kinda had to. And I turned out fine.”

     “I know we shouldn’t be bribing her,” Amelia sighs. “But sometimes I look at her and I remember what I was doing at her age, and — I mean, it’s the same for Maggie but in the other direction.”

     She adds, like she has to talk herself into something, “Maggie also told Zola to come find her and Winston if she wasn’t having fun after the first half an hour, so, that’s something.”

     “I think that’s nice,” Kai says, thinking suddenly of the formal they’d skipped. Their sister Laura had been on the swim team, too, had spent hours on her own hair and makeup while Kai argued with their mother about what they would wear. And when Kai slid into the passenger seat of Laura's car, feeling wrong in ways they couldn’t articulate, Laura had taken one look at their face and said, Wanna go to iHop? Even though she was graduating that year. Even though she looked way too good for iHop. In spite of all that, she’d fished a sweatshirt out of the backseat and tossed it at her sibling, and hadn’t asked a single question for the rest of the night.

     “I just want Zo to try to do the whole normal kid thing, you know?” Amelia says, bringing Kai back to the present. “But I don't think she's feeling particularly normal right now."

     "That’s tough.”

     Amelia meets Kai’s eyes in the mirror. She sounds relieved when she says, “You get it.”

     “In a way, sure.” They’d known, for instance, that girls did not usually aspire to be the Goblin King. And they weren't sure, even now, that if they'd had the words as a kid to describe who they were, that they would've been ready to say them.

     “Me, too,” Amelia says. “In a way.”

     “Maybe that helps?” Kai offers. “Maybe it’s good for Zola to know that — I don’t know. That even if it wasn't for the same reasons as her, you’ve felt different, and alone. And now you’ve got this family, and all these friends. Does she know how many of your exes you’re friends with? Because it’s truly impressive, even by queer standards.”

     “It’s all fun and games having people until you have to wear real pants on a Friday night,” Amelia says. “Sorry I’m dragging you out.”

     “It’ll be fun,” Kai says.

     “Really?”

     “Yeah,” they say, and they’re surprised to realize they mean it. “Just … please don’t leave me alone too long. I’m scared Teddy’ll try to make me play Boggle.”

     Amelia laughs. “If I were you, I’d be more worried about Owen trying to pick a time for the two of you to jam. That's what he keeps saying. 'Tell them we should jam.'”

     “Well, tell him to stop calling it that, and I'm there.” Kai says.

     “Who are you, and what did you do with my partner?” Amelia asks, setting her hairbrush down and coming to straddle Kai’s lap. She runs her hands through their hair, sending shivers down their spine. “You’re staying in Mer’s house. You’re going to have bro time with Owen. Next you’ll join Link’s fantasy football league.”

     Kai wrinkles their nose. “Can’t watch football. The concussion protocols are —“

     “Abhorrent,” Amelia agrees. “I know.”

     “It’s actually nice,” Kai says. “Being part of your team.”

     Amelia grins. “It’s full of brilliant doctors with chiseled jawlines. You were kinda a natural fit.”

     Kai laughs. “And thank god for that.”

     "Hey," Amelia says, sliding off of their lap. "Go look in the mirror."

     When they do, she comes to stand beside them, and they pull her to their side, hoping she might not notice they've gotten choked up again. Their first instinct is to feel ridiculous, and yet ... for the first time in their life, they feel exactly right in an outfit someone else picked out for them. It's not nothing. 

     This wasn’t how they’d seen tonight going, sure — but being somewhere with Amelia is better than being anywhere else, with anyone else. It’s why they’d flown back to Seattle on that late night so many months ago, why they grow more and more sure every day that it was the right choice. Amelia embraces the sides to them that they thought no one would ever understand, let alone love. And to have the opportunity to do that for her, too? To be invited into her world, even though there’d been a time they weren’t sure they belonged? To know their place was next to her, and hers next to them?

     That was everything.

     They’d come back to Seattle for that over and over again.

🥵🥵🥵that Amelia and Kai prompt about Amelia asking Kai to rough with her, like is pure gold… I can’t wait to see what you do with it…. I’m on the edge of my seat!❤️❤️

tho I do think that someone needs to write like a series of one shots that stinks from Amelia being kinky and Kai being rough, bc we all know that’s how they are, and have different scenarios that stem from the prompt….❤️‍🔥 There is hardly any Kaimelia being written and it’s sad 😢

Well, I am kind of in a sore spot about Kai and Amelia after that last episode and I know, I know, not real, not really the case.

But, I will need some time to get out of that slumber. So, I hope you can wait till I do. Thank you for the ask.

Amelia & Kai (because you did such a great job the last time I threw you a curve ball 😉) 39 please 😊

Amelia Shepherd & Kai Bartley, Grey’s Anatomy

39: Let’s Get You Home

****************************************************

Amelia breaks their kiss with a sigh. "God, I missed you."

"Yeah?" Kai grins, holding her close, even though that means Amelia has to tiptoe a little. "I didn't think of you at all."

 "Liar!" Amelia snorts. Before Kai can fight her on this, she swiftly presses another peck on their lips.

When they finally let go of each other, Kai picks up Amelia's luggage and turns to her again. "Ready to go?"

"More than anything," Amelia cheers, her eyes lit, shining brighter than ever. Yet when they're on their way to the parking lot, the ringing of her phone makes her smile fall. 

It's Link.

"I'm sorry, I have to take this," she apologizes, "It might be about Scout. He's been under the weather for some days."

Kai nods understandingly, then takes a step back without further thinking to give Amelia her space. This way they don't even get half of the dialogue. The rising worry crossing Amelia's face is telling though.

"What is it?" they ask as soon as Amelia ends the call.

"Scout," Amelia gasps. The crispy Minnesota air suddenly feels heavy in her lungs. "He's in the hospital. It might be RSV, might be even worse. He can hardly breathe on his own."

Quickly stepping close again, Kai rests their hand on Amelia’s arm. "Shit," they sigh compassionately, "Did they... Did they put him on ventilation?"

"N- Not yet," Amelia answers, "He's getting oxygen support, they hope that will do. But they don't know. They... They don't know," she says again, almost to herself this time.

She averts her eyes, her mouth still half-open like she's got more to say. But no more words come out.

"Amelia?"

The sound of her name makes her look up again. 

"I'm- I'm so sorry! I just got here. And I- I know how you... how you... I don't want to—"

"Hey, hey," Kai calmly stops her. "It's okay. Baby, it's okay. I'm here, I'm with you." With their arm now wrapped firm around Amelia's shoulders, they spin them both around, about to direct Amelia back to the airport. "Let's get you home."

Kai messed up, they know that.

But Amelia doesn’t, and Kai needs her to know too.

Cue an impromptu trip to Seattle (and my horrendous summary).
