 Title: 50 Sentences
Pairing: Burke/Addison
Rating: PG
A/N: This is my 

[info]1sentence challenge, 50 sentences on Burke/Addison. The sentence theme is listed before the sentence.

 


  1. Comfort: It wasn’t that Addison couldn’t sleep alone; it’s that she preferred a sleeping partner for comfort’s sake.
  2. Kiss: She was still upset and the only way he knew to help her was to place a feather light kiss on her forehead.
  3. Soft: He noticed that when she was relaxed, everything about her appeared gentler, softer: her hair, her eyes, her mouth, her skin.
  4. Pain: They both felt pain, they both knew what it was like to be hurt and they both knew that they needed each other.
  5. Potatoes: She liked hash browns and he liked French fries so neither of them had to worry about stealing food off one another’s plate.
  6. Rain: He imagined what she had looked like the night Derek left her, hair and clothes soaked with rain and eyes that betrayed far more sadness than he could comprehend.
  7. Chocolate: Fondue was supposed to be romantic but Addison was messy and Burke laughingly wiped chocolate off her nose.
  8. Happiness: As he wrapped his arm around her, she didn’t think she had felt happiness quite like this before.
  9. Telephone: When she was in Los Angeles, the ringing telephone was her best friend, especially when he was on the other line.
  10. Ears: He imagined that he could be closer to her if he pressed his ear even harder against the telephone receiver.
  11. Name: She had whispered, “Good night, Preston” in his ear and he was sure that his name had never sounded better.
  12. Sensual: He doubted that he could explain to her just how sensual it was when she stitched people up or pumped air into a new baby’s lungs.
  13. Death: She had finished her surgery just as he was coming out of his OR and she smelled like death, but he kissed her anyways.
  14. Sex: Their first time had been awkward, their second not much better, but, with practice (lots and lots of practice), eventually they were really quite good.
  15. Touch: He felt a tingle when her hand grazed his, the slightest touch alerting all of his senses.
  16. Weakness: Her weakness was foot massages, his was a shoulder rub and neither minded when the other figured it out.
  17. Tears: He couldn’t stand it when she cried, but she rather liked it when he brushed the tears away.
  18. Speed: Driving with Addison hadn’t been what he had expected, but when he saw her car, he knew she was all about speed.
  19. Wind: The wind blew her hair into his face and he tucked the red strands behind her ear.
  20. Freedom: Even though they were committed to one another, there was something about her that made him feel free.
  21. Life: They both knew what it was like to save a life, they both knew what it was like to lose one, and they both were grateful the other understood.
  22. Jealousy: Mark and Cristina both felt pangs of jealousy whenever Burke and Addison were together, but neither one knew what to do.
  23. Hands: When he held her hand, she couldn’t help but feel like his had been made to hold hers.
  24. Taste: She always sucked on a mint before their dates because she knew he loved the taste of peppermint.
  25. Devotion: They were devoted to their jobs almost as much as they were devoted to each other.
  26. Forever: Neither of them wanted to say that this was forever, even though they both felt that it was.
  27. Blood: There was something to be said for the fact that they could both be covered in blood and still find each other insanely attractive.
  28. Sickness: Maybe he wasn’t ready to commit to ‘in sickness or in health’ again, but he was sure that someday he would be.
  29. Melody: She loved hearing him play a slow, soft melody on his trumpet and often wished that she were the keys.
  30. Star: One night they had sat under a blanket in her car and when she saw a shooting star, she made a wish and shortly after, it came true.
  31. Home: His hand felt at home when it was wrapped around hers.
  32. Confusion: When Preston had first asked her out, Addison had felt nothing but confusion and when she accepted, he had felt nothing but glee.
  33. Fear: Whenever they watched scary movies together, Addison often had to bury her head in his chest, not even attempting to mask her fear.
  34. Thunder/Lightning: The thunder boomed and Addison flinched and he saw her surprised face shown in sharp relief when the lightening flashed seconds later.
  35. Bonds: Addison liked that when Preston dressed in a tuxedo, he often impersonated James Bond, introducing himself as “Burke, Preston Burke” and asked for martinis that had been shaken, not stirred.
  36. Market: Burke hadn’t known if Addison was on the market, but had asked her out anyway, figuring he could mask it under the pretense of “just friends” if she wasn’t.
  37. Technology: She was surprisingly inept with anything technological and often relied on him to set the alarm or program the VCR.
  38. Gift: She found it heartwarming that Preston loved Christmas and made sure to buy him the perfect gift.
  39. Smile: He smiled rarely, but when he did, it lit up his whole face and she lived for the moments when he laughed.
  40. Innocence: They both knew that the other was far from innocent where past relationships were concerned and they were both glad that it wasn’t an issue.
  41. Completion: There was a moment, a small, fleeting moment, when he saw Addison smile at him through her surgery mask that he knew life was complete.
  42. Clouds: The clouds had opened up, soaking Addison before she had gone five steps, and he smiled and put his coat around her shoulders.
  43. Sky: The sky was clear and the sun was bright and Addison handed his freshly dry-cleaned coat back to him.
  44. Heaven: Addison didn’t know if she believed in heaven, but she knew that when she was lying next to Preston, she was awfully close.
  45. Hell: Cristina thought that someone, somewhere, had decided to make Seattle Grace her own personal hell when Addison and Burke walked by her, hand in hand.
  46. Sun: Preston had a strong dislike for sunlight, but it only partly stemmed from the fact that Addison had left Seattle, and him, for sunnier climes.
  47. Moon: Burke drove to his empty apartment; streets lit by moonlight, and couldn’t help but miss the red-haired woman who used to drive with him.
  48. Waves: The waves crashed on the sand and Addison keenly felt the absence of the man who had let her go.
  49. Hair: Burke cleaned out his shower drain and was disgusted at the amount of hair that was trapped in it, and told Addison so later.
  50. Supernova: On their first date, Preston made Addison sit through Supernova and she thought that his crush on Angela Bassett was quite endearing.

Ahhh, Addison/Burke. They were my secret OTP for, like, all of season two. Love this.

He could totally go to LA with Addison. SHONDA, Y'HEAR THAT?

Oh, man. I would LOVE that. But then Shonda would be all, "Well, happy couples = death, so let's see how we can ruin this, shall we?"

Yeeeeah, Shonda makes me nervous. I'm trying really hard to not get too excited about Addie/Pete. Sigh. :\

Oh, I know! Because I want to get excited about that, but I can't see her letting us have a nice couple. Addie/Pete better not be the new Mer/Der.

I hope they're not, either. I also hope they don't end up being the focal point of the show, since that gets tedious and repetitive after a while. Try something new, Shonda. Dare to be different.

At least one paragraph in my epic complaint letter to Shonda will be discussing how we are all over the Ross/Rachel relationship.

Maybe a new location (i.e. LA) will give her new ideas.

Or maybe ABC forcing her to not screw this one up too will save us all. We can only hope.

Yeah, the exec of ABC seems like a nice guy (from what I've seen, aka the Kate Walsh/Ellen interview). He might make Shonda make it work.

I always try to keep perspective though. Shonda is responsible for Crossroads and so I don't know how much credit I can give her.

Oh shit, I keep forgetting that. Damn. We're doomed.

My only hope is that maybe Grey's is proof that she starts low and gets progressively better. And that certain parts of Season 3 were just relapses, but that she'll just keep moving up. If that makes sense (I have this image in my head of a graph that has a kind of jagged line running across it)

Hmm. Could be, though, Grey's has been sucky since the end of season two for me, so who knows. I know a lot of people hate her, but I'm wondering of Marti Noxon might prevent it from getting to a super-horrible point.

I only started noticing the suckiness after Meredith almost died. the third episode of the ferry arc was the beginning of the end for me.

Marti Noxon does have Buffy to her credit. And she's worked on Brothers and Sisters, which I kind of love. Maybe Marti will just smack Shonda.

The ferry arc was where I decided I definitely was not watching next season, not even for Alex and Bailey and Callie.

Yeah, but she got fired from B&S because they didn't like what she was making it into, or something, I don't really know. She makes me nervous, but I figure she can't be any worse than Shonda, so whatever. I'm Kate's bitch, so I'll watch no matter what.

Oh, and I'm gonna add you. Just because, hi, we obvs have things in common.

I think I'll start watching next season because at my new dorm, Grey's involves pizza and I kind of love pizza, but we'll see how long that lasts.

It's the same with Kate for me. There are a few actors that I will watch anything for, and Kate is one of them.

Most definitely added back. :)

Oh, I would watch anything if it involved getting pizza. Especially with ham and pineapple omg yum.
