#jackson x april

[slf-cntrl]

i would give anything to be able to watch grey’s anatomy for the first time again.

first time watchers y'all better savory it.

[himbo-jackson-avery]

can't say no when the other says 🥺

[beachy--head]

Damn it, Avery!

"So yeah, Mark notices things, but he doesn’t need to be in full observation mode (Callie would say he’s nosy, but what does she know?) to notice Avery fidgeting in his seat in front of him as Kepner joins her paramedic and the pastor and the ceremony starts."

A silly little AU, because we deserved to have Mark react to Japril's shenanigans.

___

If the trauma surgery thing doesn’t pan out, Kepner should be an event planner.

Mark’s not usually a wedding fan, but when you’re engaged to Lexie Grey and have been planning your own wedding for the past months, you start noticing things you didn’t use to. For example, as he’s watching Kepner walk down the aisle of a carefully-decorated barn, he makes a mental note of asking her where she got these little mint-to-be favors – he actually thinks they’re kind of lame, but Lexie squealed when she saw them and thought they were cute, and what Lexie Grey wants for their wedding, Lexie Grey will get.

So yeah, Mark notices things, but he doesn’t need to be in full observation mode (Callie would say he’s nosy, but what does she know?) to notice Avery fidgeting in his seat in front of him as Kepner joins her paramedic and the pastor and the ceremony starts. 

And it’s funny, because Mark used to think (still does, if he’s being honest), that Avery and Kepner would have made a decent couple.

If you're still taking requests for the fic prompts ask: what about Japril + 65?

(boop boop!)

BOOP! 65. I wish you could see yourself the way I see you

"What are those?"

April glanced up at Jackson and smiled, shifting over to make room for him to sit beside her on the couch. "Old photo albums. Harriet wanted to know what I looked like at her age."

She angled the album on her knee so Jackson could see the picture she was looking at. It had been a summer's day, and she was standing outside her family's barn with one of the ponies, in an oversize checked shirt, jeans and cowboy books. Freckles covered her face, and her hair in pigtails gleaming in the bright sunlight almost as red as the thick plastic frames of the glasses she was wearing.

"Now that's a fashion choice," Jackson grinned.

April pulled a face and swatted his shoulder. "Hey! I was five. They were my first glasses, and I just picked the most colourful pair in the store, okay?"

"I'm surprised you didn't go for a pink pair with hearts on them."

"If they'd had any I would have," she said, then glanced back down at the photo and sighed. "This was when my sisters started calling me Ducky. My mom told me not to worry, that I'd grow into a swan, but it only got worse when I got to high school."

She flipped several pages forward in the album, to one taken when she was fourteen or fifteen. This was a group shot with all her sisters, but the teenage April was clearly deeply uncomfortable, holding herself back and grimacing more than smiling. Braces glinted on her teeth, and although she had swapped the red glasses for a pair that were a less garish dark purple in colour, they were a smaller style that in hindsight she could see didn't really suit her face and did nothing to conceal the acne that had started to develop in patches on her cheeks.

"You can see why I didn't have dates lining up around the corner."

"No, actually, I can't. You look fine. So you had braces and a few zits," Jackson shrugged. "We all go through awkward phases."

April gave him a look. "Don't try that with me. I've seen your high school photos, Mr Star of the Baseball Team and Prom King. I bet you had girls falling all over you."

"I wouldn't say falling ..."

She snorted. "Uh-huh. Point is, you've always been gorgeous. You wouldn't have looked twice at me in high school."

"I would have!" Jackson protested, putting his arm around her and pulling her close. "I mean, I'm not saying I wasn't an idiot as a teenage boy but you were still you. All I would have to do is talk to you and I would have realised how special you are."

April hummed sceptically, but she smiled, clearly pleased with the compliment and snuggled into him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"And your mom wasn't wrong, was she? You are a swan."

"I don't know. Sometimes - well, a lot of the time, actually, I still feel like Ducky."

Jackson frowned. "What you mean?"

"Oh, you know. I feel like this is what people see when they look at me still - the nerdy, insecure girl that no one really liked. Like I'm always trying to prove that I'm good enough, but all I ever do is really do is prove that I'm not."

Gently, Jackson brought his free hand up beneath her chin and tilted her head back so she could see his face as he replied, "You are good enough. You're more than good enough. I wish you could see yourself the way I see you."

"Yeah? How do you see me?"

"April, you're smart and fierce and kind, and you're the bravest person I know. And maybe you're a little neurotic at times," he said lightly, "but you're also a badass. You get up after every setback you have and you try again. You have no idea how much I admire that. You're an incredible surgeon and the most amazing mom and I don't know how the hell I got lucky enough to convince you to give me another chance but I'm grateful for it every single day."

She had flushed deeper with every word and looked up at him now with bright, shining eyes, the kind of look that usually meant a kiss - and a whole lot more - wasn't far behind. Heat rushed through him, prompting him to add in a rougher voice,

"You are also very, very sexy, and I would be more than happy to take you upstairs and prove that to you."

"Oh yeah?" April arched an eyebrow, her lips curving into a slow, teasing smile, and Jackson knew they weren't going to be looking at any more photos tonight. "I think I might just take you up on that."

He grinned and leaned down to kiss her. "Then I guess I'd better get started."

sometimes love comes back around

[msjemmxswift]

"this love left a permanent mark this love is glowing in the dark these hands had to let it go free and this love came back to me."

[lukreziaaa]

“I love you, April. I always have. I love everything about you. Even the things I don’t like, I love. And I want you with me.

I love you, and I think that you love me, too. Do you.”

I'm rewatching grey's anatomy and I'm on 14x23 which is further than my last rewatch I feel so proud lol but the way jackson begs god not to take april away just ahhhhhh it was obvious af he was still in love with her and he still loved her that entire season idc what anyone else says so them forcing this whole jackson/maggie thing makes me even more uncomfortable they literally had no chemistry and only got together to keep him from getting back together with april and that's why they put her back with matthew even though it didn't work out and never would lol hearing about all the messed up things bts and why they fired sarah drew because they hated japril (which actually explains a lotttttt tbh lol) just ugh but it doesn't matter because japril found their way back to each other!! they were always each other's true love and soulmate and they were always endgame!!!!

"when i was a kid, i didn't like the color pink, and maybe it was because society implied that being masculine meant not liking pink. but since i met april, i've grown to appreciate any shade of pink. it's not her favorite color, and she doesn't wear it often, but it radiates from her beautifully."

Memories I will never find (2)

“You don’t think it’s destiny, do you? That the things in the visions are bound to happen?”

“April. You can’t seriously think that just because we see these… things, they’ll happen no matter what.”

Jackson and April experience a few intense, vivid, highly realistic dreams.

Note: Thank you so much for all your comments on chapter 1, I'm glad you liked this silly idea! Fetus Japril is dear to my heart, and writing them is really fun. Here's the second and last part, hope you'll enjoy!

(chapter 1)

___

April Kepner is freaking out. And Jackson has already been witness to a proper April Kepner freakout before – every candidate who wrote their intern exam pretty much has, because she was… well, a mess – but not like this. She’s almost hyperventilating, and her eyes are so wide that, well, they kind of remind him of how she looked when he dream-interrupted her wedding.  “April. Breathe.” “Breathe? Breathe?? What the hell was that?” “I don’t know!” He’s making an effort not to show it, but he’s rattled too, and he would also like answers. “It doesn’t make any sense, the previous ones were nothing lik–” “The previous ones? Did you have visions like this before?” April looks at him accusingly, as if he were responsible for these things. “Well, yeah, a few,” he admits. “You didn't?” “No, I did, but I thought I was the only one. Dreaming, I mean. The scenes didn’t really make sense.” He passes a hand on his face and sighs. “Tell me about it. Wait, really, tell me about it. Was I in your… visions?” “Yeah.” “What was I doing?”  “You weren’t getting sliced open on a kitchen table, that’s for sure!”

So this is a Grey's Anatomy post because I can't help but marvel at the number of doctors that are related to each other in this show 😂😂

You know how Kylie and Kendall Jenner only got famous because they're related to Kim Kardashian? And the Scarlet Witch (AKA Elizabeth Olsen) probably wouldn't be who she was without Mary Kate and Ashley? Or even how Maude Apatow (Euphoria) and Jaden Smith struck lucky with their parents - Judd Apatow and Jada Pinkett/Will Smith?

Some people get all the luck - they are connected to the right people and it makes their lives a thousand times better than the rest of us 😭. Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital has it's own share of family and friend drama most of the time (remember the Link - Amelia - Owen - Teddy - Tom drama? or Meredith and her surprise sisters?), but sometimes even these characters take it too far and we have to call it out!

So just to lay out the family relationship (not including romantic relationships) on this show:

Meredith: 2 sisters (Lexie & Maggie), and her mom Ellis Grey

Derek: 1 sister (Amelia) and 1 nephew (Lucas Adams Shepherd)

Owen: 1 sister (Megan)

Andrew: 1 sister (Carina)

Jackson: his mom (Catherine Fox) and his grandad (Harper Avery)

Richard Webber: his bio daughter Maggie (this is a technicality but still!)

I won't even get into the tangled web that is the dating chart of the doctors at the hospital! So many characters have gotten jobs that they really weren't qualified for based on the relationshipsnthey have

Join us as we talk about the characters who have basically had everything handed to them on a platter with virtually no effort (cough cough Amelia Shepherd). The rich and/or connected doctors that have a guaranteed cheat sheet to success! What do you think, did we leave anyone out?

Please watch the video and let us know what you think!

here we are two fathers, a little boy born in an adultery and a little girl born during a divorce.

here we are their parents: married with other people or divorce, look how they ignored each other.

they look like a perfect family.

I just watched this moment, about to watch the next episode. *Screams with happiness* I ship these 2 so hard!!!

“I think he said he loved her.” “Maybe. Say it out loud and go from there.” “What?” “No, it’s something Mark Sloan said to me once. He said

‘if you love somebody, you tell ‘em,

even if you’re scared it’ll cause problems or burn your life to the ground. Say it loud and go from there.’”
