Summary
"My dearest Meredith,
In another lifetime you'd have heard it from me years ago. You would know it was true with every beat of your heart. Every inch of your skin would know it. I’d have given you everything. In another lifetime repression and cowardice wouldn’t have run in my blood, and I’d have told the world from the beginning. About who I am, the way I love. About the way you made me feel. In another lifetime maybe, just maybe, it could have been us.
But there isn't another lifetime. There is only this one.
And everyday I feel more and more that it was wasted on me."An unsent letter discovered after a suicide attempt reveals more than its writer was ever willing to admit out loud. The darkest moments of Addison Montgomery’s life become transformational, and the pain that once felt impossible to live with drives her home to herself, and to a love that lay dormant for years. “I need her like water” explores compulsive heterosexuality, learning to love out loud, and the challenging parental relationships that can lead to a loss of identity.

Summary
"I didn't eat anything last night. I was mad at you."
I was watching PP and Addison finished this quote off by saying, "And unlike Naomi, who I know has been very much on your mind these days, I do not stress eat," but my disordered ass immediately assumed she would say smth along the lines of, "Unlike Naomi, I don't binge when I'm upset, I starve,".
Soooooo that's exactly what y'all are getting. A fanfic about Addison struggling with an ED, featuring Meddison bc they're my favorite ship.

Summary
Meredith sat in the exam room crushing Addison’s hands in a death grip. The doctor’s words swirled around her, bringing her worst nightmare to life. She couldn’t have kids. Neither she nor Addison could carry a child meaning that they would never have the family they both so badly want. Numbly, she followed the redhead back to their car, staring straight ahead as the reality of what the doctor said set in. Tears began to rush down her face as a broken sob slipped from her lips.
When Meredith finds out that she can’t carry children, she and Addison explore other options to expand their family.
