i absolutely loved LOVED seeing amelia and link for the second time this season have a nasty fight or argument and then reconcile and being so open with one another. link is (allegedly. the show stays giving us nothing) nico's closest friend so once he can get back to work i would love to see him give nico some advice
the way they have amelink handle conflict is really nice to see. so much that i get jealous (? if that's the fword for it in that context) that schmico doesn't get that.
i miss the ortho dream team. i would love to just see a random nico/link scene again.

lover
a/n: hi random s15 amelink! hope you enjoy mwah I miss them <33
-----------------
"Hey, you all set?" Amelia glanced up from her phone to see Link standing above her, concern spread across his face.
"What?"
"You've been sitting here for like, half an hour; I just figured I should check if you're good before I leave."
"Yeah, I'm just waiting for Meredith; she's my ride home." Link sat down in the armchair beside her.
"This probably isn't what you want to hear, but I just saw Grey get pulled into a trauma as I was leaving the E.R.," he shrugged in sympathy, and Amelia groaned dramatically.
"I'm gonna kill her. I just got out of an eleven-hour surgery, and I haven't eaten since breakfast." Amelia laid her head against the couch cushion behind her, closing her eyes and placing a hand on her forehead.
"You want a ride? I'm heading out, and I can drop you off." She sat up with wide eyes.
"You're serious?" He nodded. "Ugh, I could kiss you."
"Oh, I-"
"Let's go," she jumped up from the couch, grabbing her bag from the floor and slinging it over her shoulder, following Link out of the lounge and down to his car in the parking lot.
"You wanna stop and get something on the way? Pizza, maybe?"
"Pizza's good," Amelia sighed as she collapsed in the passenger seat, leaning her head against the window and yawning. "As long as you just run in and grab it."
"I'll call now," he muttered, pulling out his phone and dialing a number, Amelia's eyes closing as he began to speak softly.
-----------------
"Hey." She opened her eyes to see Link holding out a box which she took from him eagerly. "Which way is Meredith's?"
"Oh, uh," she glanced around and yawned. "Your place is closer." Link raised his eyebrows.
"You wanna just head back to my place?"
"If I go to Mer's, I'm gonna have to deal with Ellis wanting a ton of bedtime stories, and Zola will need help with her homework, and I love them, I do, but I just can't deal with that right now."
"I thought our rule was no sleepovers?" She rolled her head to the side and glared at him.
"You wanna get picky now?"
"Okay," he whispered. "To my place."
By the time he pulled into the lot of his apartment complex, Amelia eagerly threw the door open and hurried up the stairs, waiting for him to unlock the door before dropping the pizza box on the counter and stuffing her face.
"Sorry about the mess," he muttered, picking up an old takeout container from the table, "I didn't think anyone would be coming over."
"You call this a mess? You should come live with three children for a day. This place is spotless." Link shrugged and reached over her to grab a slice of pizza.
"I like keeping my things organized; what can I say?" She glanced at him for a moment before taking another slice.
"Why is your apartment so bare? It looks like you just moved in," she muttered, covering her mouth with her hand and glancing around the space she had barely been in.
"I've never been one to settle somewhere; I've moved around a lot, and I'm not here much for anything other than sleeping. It's functional."
"It's cold," she muttered, "literally and physically. It feels lonely in here."
"You live in the adult equivalent of a frat house. I like my quiet and solitude."
"Do you have friends?" Link scoffed quietly at her question.
"Are you asking if I have a best friend who I go to the mall with every weekend and have sleepovers with on our nights off? Because, no, but I do have friends, thanks for asking."
"I mean, you're never doing anything when I call."
"I grew up an only child, and everything was about my parents. I'm used to being alone, and I don't mind it. But, most of the time I'm not with you; I go out with Jackson and Nico or Jo." He picked up the last slice. "You want it?"
"All yours." She wiped her hands on a paper towel. "Next time I come over, I'm gonna bring you a candle or something."
"Feel free to decorate my place while you're at it," he mumbled, "you're here almost just as much as I am, and I'm never going to do it."
"That's a dangerous offer. You'll end up with color in here." He shuddered comically, rolling his eyes at her.
"You act like I'm the most boring person you've met."
"You like sports and playing the guitar. Not to diss you, but that's the most stereotypical thing I've heard."
"There is more to me, but whatever you say." Amelia narrowed her eyes at him and shook her head.
"Knowing those things would break the rules of our relationship-not-relationship," she hummed, closing the box and handing it to him.
"I'm pretty sure this breaks the rules of our relationship-not-relationship."
"Which is why I'll sleep on the couch."
"Why? The bed's perfectly fine."
"I don't trust myself to be in that bed with you," she muttered, looking up at him for a brief moment as he pursed his lips and nodded firmly, holding back a smirk that she could still see on his face.
"Right. Well, you take the bed; the couch will ruin your back, so I'll sleep on there."
"What? I'll be fine."
"Amelia, just take the bed. You're the guest here, and I want you to be comfortable. It's just one night."
Amelia. He'd never called her that before; it was always Dr. Shepherd, but Amelia decided she liked the way it sounded coming from his lips, the way he enunciated the middle of her name as if it was the most important word he'd ever said.
She shook her head quickly to ignore how warm her cheeks felt.
"Your room smells like you."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Pheromones."
"Alright," Link muttered, "I'll bring you a pillow and some blankets; it gets freezing in here at night." She watched him walk away into the bedroom and return a minute later, tossing a blanket at her and setting another one on the coffee table in front of the couch. "Anything else?"
"I don't have pajamas," she sat down on the couch, "and I don't really wanna sleep in these clothes."
"You just want a shirt or some pants, too?"
"Just a shirt." He nodded firmly and left again, throwing a balled-up t-shirt at her when he came back. "Thank you."
"I'll be in the bedroom if you need anything else, alright?" Amelia gave him a thumbs up before he left, exchanging a quick goodnight and watching as he shut the bedroom door.
She threw on the shirt, noticing the logo of some random baseball team she had never heard of and almost laughing as the fabric covered down to her knees.
After some brief exploring of the near-empty space of his living room, she laid down on the couch and pulled one of the blankets over her body, soon realizing that he wasn't lying about the discomfort of the sofa.
Amelia sighed and grabbed the blanket from the couch, wrapping it around her body like a shawl as she tiptoed down the wood floors of Link's apartment. She pushed the door open slowly, cringing as it creaked, and she could make out Link's figure sitting up in the bed.
"Amelia?" She closed the door behind her and breathed heavily, slowly padding towards the bed.
"It's freezing out there."
"I know, that's why I left you another blanket on the-" He stopped speaking as Amelia got on the bed and it dipped below her, and Amelia was silent as she moved towards him. "What are you doing?"
"Shut up," she whispered, laying down beside him and throwing her blanket over their bodies before she curled up against his side. His hand pressed gently against her back as she laid her head on his chest and pulled the comforter up, placing her hand on the other side of his chest. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," he whispered in response, and Amelia closed her eyes contently.
She could feel how quickly his heart was racing in his chest below her head, but she didn't mind, because hers was beating just as fast.

What’s a Soulmate?
Hi! This is my first Amelink Fic. Completely AU//Little snippets of ‘What if Link and Amelia had met at a different time in their lives?’ Also OOPS THIS IS REALLY LONG. TW: implied drug use.
_______ Atticus Lincoln is 9 years old when he discovers what a soulmate is. Not by definition exactly, but the feeling is there.
It’s a sunny afternoon in mid-august, one of the last few days of freedom before school starts up again. Few of the last chances Link will get to spend all day outside, practicing his baseball pitch with his dad.
Earlier that day, Link and his father had noticed moving trucks line up across the street. Right in front of the house where Mrs. Edelstein lived before she was put in that nursing home.
“Looks like someone’s finally moving in,” Link’s dad had said.
‘Good,’ Link had thought. No more Mrs. Edelstein and no more apples on halloween.
_______
The two are just finishing up their batting practice when a minivan pulls into the driveway of Mrs. Edelstein’s old house. A woman steps out of the driver’s side first, before chaos ensues. Both sliding doors of the minivan fly open at the same time, before a handful of young voices are heard. Link watches from afar and counts one by one as they pile out of the car.
A taller, teenaged girl and a dark-haired boy around the same age immediately sprint toward the house, the girl yelling something about ‘dibs on the biggest bedroom!’
“Nancy! Derek! Slow down!” the children’s mother yells after them. The woman sighs as two more young girls jump out of the car and start running toward the house. “Come on, Amy,” the mother speaks again. Slowly, another girl appears from the car. Immediately, Link notices the age difference between this girl and the other kids that had just disappeared into the house. She seems much closer to his age. Link is amused by her more reluctant pace, compared to her siblings. He watches as the girl’s mother begins to practically drag her toward the house.
“Why don’t you go say hi, Link? Introduce yourself?” His dad’s voice officially halts him from observing the family across the street.
Link shakes his head. “Maybe later,” he says, his gaze drifting back to the house, where he can see the children running around through the front windows.
_______
It’s a little bit after 7pm now, and Link and his dad have just finished dinner. It’s still light outside, a nice summer night, and Link wanders back outside to hopefully curve his boredom.
There’s not much to do in his backyard, at least not by himself. He feels a tug in his chest when he thinks back to earlier. The way he was completely enticed by the big, rowdy family across the street.
He wanders to the front lawn in search of his baseball mitt when he sees her. The youngest girl from earlier. She’s sitting cross-legged by herself on the sidewalk in front of her new home, focusing deeply on the pavement beneath her, sidewalk chalk in hand. Her long dark hair is pulled back into a braid, but despite that, she seems to be pushing her bangs out of her face every few seconds.
Link is a pretty shy kid and he knows that. Even a little timid. But there’s something about this girl that’s piqued his interest. He really wants to know her, and to be her friend, he thinks.
So he gains up enough courage to cross the street, not before checking both ways for cars first. He approaches the house slowly, but the girl doesn’t seem to notice his presence. Her head remains turned down, focusing on what she’s doing.
“Um hi my name is Atticus Lincoln and I live across the street,” the sentence comes out in a rush, words stringing together completely. And maybe he should have made his entrance more known, he thinks, as he watches the girl almost fall back from where she was sitting with her knees tucked underneath her.
“Shit, you scared me,” the girl gasps, blue eyes wide.
And Link is stunned. Because that is not what he expected to hear. His eyes are now just as wide as hers “Y-you’re allowed to say that?"
The girl just stares at him for a second, before something seems to click in her brain, and then she’s laughing with her head thrown back. Real, genuine laughter. The kind that Link has only seen on sitcoms, or when his aunts and uncles drink too many adult beverages at family barbecues.
He loves the sound of it. It’s making him laugh, too. "You have a funny laugh,” he tells her.
“You have a funny name,” she retorts.
“Hey,” he frowns, but it doesn’t last as he can’t help but laugh. “Well what’s your name, then?”
“Amelia.”
“Amelia?” He repeats, dumbfounded. Partly because he’s never really heard the name before. It sounds sharp. And he thinks it matches perfectly. Especially with the quick and witty words falling from her laughing mouth.
“Yeah, ya dummy. Have you never heard that name before?”
And Link, for the first time in his life, is at a loss for words. Because she is something else.
“Anyway, Atticus, do you wanna play a game?”
_______
Link is 16 years old when he discovers that high school is the bane of his existence.
Link is a decently popular kid. Apparently. A favorite student in the eyes of most teachers. A friendly face for most of his classmates. A star baseball player and a name well known in the small community. But he doesn’t always see himself the way that others do, most of the time.
He has to wear this thing called deodorant all of a sudden, sometimes his face breaks out, he is nervous almost all of the time, and on top of all that, yesterday he found out he’s the only one in his friend group who’s never kissed a girl.
He feels pressured, mostly by the fact that girls in his grade are so intimidating.
It’s friday morning and he’s running kind of late for school. But he knows that doesn’t really matter. Because as late as he is, he knows Amelia will be running even later. And he’s supposed to meet her in 2 minutes to walk to school. Like they do every day.
He wanders outside and paces the sidewalk in front of her house, waiting for her front door to swing open and for her to come barreling outside as if getting ready for school is the most hectic experience.
And like clockwork, there she is. Flying down the front steps of her porch while simultaneously shrugging on her backpack and flinging her hair up into a messy ponytail. Her face lights up as soon as she sees him, but she falters just as quick, as she almost falls facedown on the sidewalk.
“You didn’t have time to tie your shoes this morning, Ames?”
"I don’t have time for a lot of things, Link.” She rolls her eyes.
“Well maybe if you woke up on time-”
“That’s impossible.”
“Go to bed at a decent time?”
“How do you know I don’t go to bed at a decent time?” She smirks at him, a common occurrence. Link’s pulse quickens every time she pulls the mischievous grin.
He blushes before he responds. “Your bedroom is literally right across from mine. Your light is on until at least 3am.”
Amelia just giggles. That fantastic, contagious giggle that Link has heard everyday for the last 6 years.
He nods to himself, knowing fully well that Amelia’s homework routine typically takes place between midnight and 3am. He doesn’t understand how she does it. She saves everything for the last minute and yet remains to have the highest grades out of everybody. It’s like the opposite way he goes about his own academics, yet it yields the same results. Even though Amelia is far smarter than him, she has almost the opposite reputation with the teachers.
Amelia bumps her hip into his side as they walk, shaking Link from his thoughts. “You going to the party tonight?” She raises her brows at him in question.
“Probably not,” Link answers. She just laughs at him.
“We’ll see.”
_______
They both end up at the party that night. A stupid high school party. Separately, that is. Because despite how close Amelia and Link are, they have very different friend groups. Link’s friend group is mostly made up of the baseball team, while Amelia tends to flock towards a tougher crowd.
So they arrive separately, but as soon as they lock eyes in the crowded basement, they’re practically running toward each other.
“Link!!!” Amelia yells, a little too loudly, unlike her. “I’m soooo glad you’re here.” She smiles at him, but her eyes are unfocused.
“Amelia are you drunk already?” Link laughs. Amelia’s usually a pretty happy drunk. At least the times that Link has seen her this way.
She nods her head around enthusiastically. “That I am,” she giggles. “Lemme find you a drink okay?”
_______
A couple hours later and Link’s ready to leave. He’s not drunk, just a little tipsy. And he’s not really feeling like being here anymore. He looks around the room to see if Amelia is still here. But he can’t seem to find her. He shrugs it off and says his goodbyes before making his way outside to walk home.
When he reaches the front porch he halts. Because there’s Amelia. Sitting with her knees pulled up to her chest on the front steps, gazing forward as if she’s thinking really hard about something.
Link clears his throat. “Whatcha doing there?”
As soon as she realizes Link’s presence, she shakes from her daze, smiling up at him. “Waiting for you. I felt like going home a while ago but I thought I’d wait for you.”
“That was cool of you.”
“No biggie.”
Link towers over her, even after she stands up. The height difference can be almost comical sometimes. She scrunches her nose a bit at him, like she’s taking in the height difference, too. And with that, they start their walk.
Link’s pretty quiet. More so than usual, Amelia notices.
“Something bothering you?” She asks.
“Uh, no. I’m fine.” And Link is the worst liar ever.
“Link…”
He’s silent for a moment.
“Amelia have you ever kissed anyone?”
Amelia laughs, cause she was not expecting this. “Yeah, silly. Why do you ask?”
And oh, Link thinks. That is not what he wanted to hear.
“Who?”
“Well. Umm. Jake. And Tyler. And-”
She notices him go quiet, eyes glued to his feet as they walk.
“You okay, Link?”
He shakes his head.
“Well what’s up?” She continues.
Link sighs deeply before responding. “Amelia, I’ve never kissed anyone..” he quickly mumbles out.
“I’m sorry I didn't really hear you. Did you say-”
“I said I’ve never kissed anyone,” and you could definitely say his voice is raised.
Amelia doesn’t really know how to respond. “Link, that’s okay. That’s fine.”
“No. It’s not. Everyone else has. Literally everybody.”
“That’s not true.”
“You have though.”
“Yeah, but-”
“But, what?” He interrupts her, and Amelia catches on that he’s pretty upset right now.
“It didn’t mean anything. I kissed those guys on a dare. At a stupid party. I didn’t even enjoy it.”
“Still,” Link sighs. “I feel like a freak. Kind of.”
“Well you are a freak,” she smirks at him. “But not because you haven’t kissed anyone.”
Link visibly relaxes, smiling back despite the dig. They're quiet again for a few minutes before Link speaks up again.
“Amelia, can I ask you something really dumb?”
“Sure, dummy.”
He sighs again, as if he’s working up some sort of courage, because he is. “Can I kiss you right now?” He looks to her face for a reaction before he continues. Of course she looks startled and confused. Just as he’d expected. “Not like serious. Like just so I can get it over with?” He explains quickly.
“Are you for real?” She giggles, still a little drunk.
“I am.”
“No, you idiot. I love you too much."
And now it’s Link’s turn to look startled.
"You’re my best friend,” She continues.
Oh. Right.
“And I’m not letting you waste your first kiss because you 'want to get it over with.’”
_______
2 weeks later and final exams are cramming their way into Link’s life. As he wraps up studying for a chem exam, he checks the clock. 1am. He yawns, standing up and stretching, before deciding to call it a night. Link finds himself glancing across the street, knowing it’s prime time for Amelia to be studying, too. His gaze lands on her bedroom window, but he frowns as he notices her light is turned off.
Link doesn’t think too much of it. He’s actually a little relieved that Amelia has seemingly gone to bed at a decent time. He quickly brushes his teeth and sets his alarm before collapsing into bed.
On the verge of sleep, Link is interrupted by a noise against his window. He tries to brush it off, but it becomes more persistent. Every 10 or so seconds, a sharp tap against glass. He gets up, crossing the floor, peering out his window. He rubs his eyes as they adjust, looking down at the front lawn.
And there’s Amelia Shepherd. Dressed in skinny jeans and a leather jacket, looking right back at him. Link thinks he’s dreaming. Amelia grows impatient at his slow reaction, taking it upon herself to throw another small rock against the glass. Link jumps back, startled. He opens the window.
“Amelia, what-” He groans. “What are you doing? What time is it? What-”
“Can you let me in? I need to stay over.” She interrupts him.
Something about her tone of voice seems off, Link thinks. But, he’s moving down the stairs and toward the front door quicker than expected for being half-asleep.
They settle on the sofa in Link’s living room. Amelia immediately begins kicking off her ankle boots. Link watches her, noticing her glassy, blood-shot eyes. He sighs.
“Don’t be mad at me.” Amelia picks up on his disappointment right away. She leans back against the cushions, resting her eyes shut. Link is glad for it. Her eyes are absolutely stunning. He has no problem admitting it. But, he hates the way they look when they are glazed over and hinting red like that. Her eyes remain closed as she mumbles at him “Can I have a glass of water?”
Link silently obeys her request. Moving about the kitchen slowly, as to not wake his father. When he re-enters the living room, Amelia is sitting up again, playing with her fingers anxiously. Link sets the glass of water on the table before he sits back down next to her.
“Thanks,” she mumbles. “I’m sorry.”
Link shakes his head. “You okay?” He asks her.
She pauses, gathering her thoughts. “I did something stupid.”
Link is not phased by this. She “does something stupid” quite a lot these days. And, quite a lot, she ends up on his couch when she doesn’t want to face her problems right away. And Link lets her do this. He lets her hide out across the street when she can’t go home yet.
“I took Derek’s car this time,” she almost whispers. And Link’s head snaps up, glancing through the front window and to her driveway across the street. He notices Derek’s car to be missing still.
“Amelia!” It’s a combination of a whisper and a shout. “You can’t be driving around like this-”
“Oh please!” She interrupts him, matching his tone. “I just smoked a little weed!”
Link glares at her. Locking eyes with her hazy blue orbs.
“And besides...I didn’t drive his car home. I walked.” She continues.
“You walked?!”
“Hey! I left his car didn’t I? I was being safe!”
Link takes a minute to steady his voice. He can hear some shuffling around upstairs but decides to ignore it.
“I would have come pick you up.” He sighs. Amelia leans back against the cushions again. Link notices truly how anxious she looks. She looks up at him, worry and regret dancing all across her features. He sighs again, and this time he sounds more understanding. “We’ll go get his car first thing in the morning.”
She smiles a bit, grateful. She looks so tired.
“Did you leave it Jake’s?” Link asks, flinching at the thought of her even going over to his house. Link can’t stand the guy. He’s a bad influence on her, the school’s go-to dealer. Not to mention the guy is repeating his senior year. Ugh.
Amelia nods. “Yeah-”
They’re interrupted by the sound of footsteps descending the staircase. Link’s dad turns the corner a moment later. Link meets his dad’s eyes apologetically. When he sees Amelia and Link on the couch, he nods to himself knowingly.
“Hi, Mr. Lincoln,” Amelia speaks up. “Sorry to wake you.”
Link’s dad looks at Amelia, nodding with understandment. “That’s quite alright, Amelia. Just came down for a glass of water, actually.” Link knows his dad is making that last bit up. He’s just checking in. “Are you okay?”
Amelia nods gratefully at the man still standing in the doorway. “I’m okay….thanks Mr. Lincoln.”
“Yeah thanks Dad. I’ll be back up in a bit.” Link watches as his dad disappears, eyes shifting back to Amelia. Her eyes close again as she relaxes back against the couch. Link squeezes her thigh gratefully. Grateful to his dad for being practically a second parent to Amelia. Amelia smiles sleepily.
“Your dad is the best.”
“I know.”
Amelia’s smile fades and Link’s heart clenches a bit at the sight of it. He knows that his dad has acted as sort of a father figure to Amelia, especially because Amelia’s dad had died when she was so young. Link and Amelia had even bonded over being raised by single parents growing up. He feels sick with guilt. His parent’s divorce can’t even compare to what Amelia has been through.
“Alright we can talk tomorrow, ok?” Link whispers, squeezing her thigh once more before standing up. He grabs a blanket from the basket in the corner and tosses it to Amelia. She wraps it around herself before moving to lay down across the couch. Link heads toward the stairs.
“Link?”
He pauses. “Yeah?”
“Just, please-” Amelia’s voice is laced with sadness. “I, just. I don’t want you to be mad at me.”
Link sighs from the doorway. “I’m not, Amelia. It’s...just. You scare me sometimes.”
Link hears some shuffling around before he sees Amelia’s head pop up over the back of the sofa. She glances back at him.
“I know. I’m sorry.”
Link just stares at her, not knowing what to say. He’d rather they have this conversation tomorrow. But, Amelia speaks up again.
“I don’t know why I do this stuff sometimes….” her voice is barely a whisper, it sounds like she’s talking more to herself. “It’s just nice to not feel...sometimes...to be not feeling everything. If that makes sense…”
Link nods quickly. “Amelia we’ll talk tomorrow, ok?”
Amelia nods in response, still looking unsure of herself.
“We’ll get donuts on the way to pick up the car, how’s that sound?” Link speaks up again, smiling at her.
Amelia beams at him. She finally drops down against the pillows. Link takes a second before he turns back toward the stairs. As he makes his way up, he hears a quiet “thank you” from behind him.
_______
Link is 18 years old when he discovers what it feels like to miss someone so much it hurts.
He’s been away for his first semester of college for 2 months now and not even weekly Skype sessions with Amelia can distract him from his shitty experience so far.
His roommate is the definition of douche-bag. Constantly trashing their room, eating all of Link’s food, staying up all night, locking him out of the room for hours at a time when he has a girl over.
Link hates it here. And he misses having his best friend. And the comfort of being so close with someone and having them near at all times.
Amelia is having a different experience. She got into college on a scholarship and immediately found her place.
Link doesn’t like to admit that he often catches himself counting down the days until Christmas, aka when he’ll see her again. Hear her laugh again, and not just through a webcam.
_______
Link learns to find new distractions. He joins the college baseball team. He meets new people. People he actually enjoys, way more than he’ll ever enjoy his roommate or the people that live on his floor.
He meets Emma. She’s on the college dance team. She’s beautiful. And tall. And genuinely funny. And a distraction.
He thinks he loves Emma, by the end of his first year of college. He feels something every time he looks at her. With her beautiful dark hair and her tan skin. Her wide smile and the way she laughs with her entire body. She feels familiar. And makes him feel nostalgic.  
And he crushes any thought he has of Emma equaling his Amelia. His best friend.
He loses his virginity to Emma. It was a stupidly quick and drunken thing. By the time he returns home that summer, he can barely remember what it felt like. Or why he thought he knew what love was when he looked at Emma.
_______
Link is 22 years old when he discovers what it feels like to finally open up.
He hasn’t seen Amelia in almost a full year, although they still consider each other one another’s best friends.
It’s finally thanksgiving and they’re both returning home from their separate colleges for the weekend. He’s completely shocked when he first sees her. She looks the same but so, so different. More mature. More….something. Her hair is cut a bit shorter, framing her face. Her eyes are more intense than he remembers. Her face lights up at the sight of him and it makes his chest pull tight. He takes in what she’s wearing, the blue in her dress doing all the right things for her features.
Amelia clears her throat, drawing his attention back up to her face. “Long time no see, Link. Eyes up here.”
He shakes his head amusedly as he pulls her into a tight hug, because she’s already making him laugh within the first few seconds of being reunited.
_______
They end up at a local restaurant. The night before thanksgiving, which happens to be the busiest bar night all year. It’s also the night that everyone from high school decides to go to the same place. It basically feels like a premature high school reunion.
Amelia and Link attempt to stay together for the entirety of the night, but it’s a little hard when you’re constantly interrupted by vaguely familiar faces and pointless conversations.
After Link catches up with an old buddy for what seems like hours, he moves across the crowded room to find Amelia. It’s well past 1am and Link kind of wants to go home. He has to get up early tomorrow anyway to set up for thanksgiving festivities.
He catches her eye from where she’s sitting at a table, and motions toward the door, attempting to let her know that he’s leaving.
She frowns at him before abruptly ending whatever conversation she was part of.
Link watches her as she pushes through people to meet him by the door.
“You’re leaving without me? What kind of date are you?” She smirks at him as she shrugs on her jacket.
“I wasn’t aware this was a date, Ames.” Link responds, playing along. “But yes, I am leaving. Early morning and all that.”
“Well let me walk you home.” She continues, voice laced with irony.
_______
They end up back at Link’s house, sitting at the kitchen table. And it all feels very nostalgic. Especially with Link’s dad upstairs sleeping. Link feels like a kid again. Amelia makes him feel like a kid again.
Mostly there’s a lot of catching up, and reminiscing. And conversation about the future. It’s good. And Link is happy. And Amelia is laughing, so inherently, Link is too.  
“Remember that time junior year when you were so sleep deprived because 'college prep, duh’ that you slept-walked all the way across the street, to my house, and started throwing random shit at my window?”
Amelia bursts out laughing. “My sleep schedule was always a mess. But how about that time we got so drunk senior year? And we fell asleep on your front lawn? And my mom found us the next morning?”
_______
They talk about everything. All the things they used to love. All the things they missed about each other while they were both away. Everything that’s new to them.
Amelia learns everything about Link’s college experiences. All of the drunken mishaps. All of the ex-girlfriends. Even some weird sex things that she can’t ever un-hear. She learns that Link wants to pursue med school, possibly move out to the city.
Link learns that Amelia wants to follow in her older siblings’ footsteps. He learns that she loves science and wants to become a surgeon, and Link swears to her that he had always known that about her.
Amelia tells him about the relationships she’s been through. And the one she’s currently in.
“You’ll get to meet him this weekend, Link. He’s driving in tomorrow. For dinner.”
Link swallows, hard. Because suddenly things don’t feel so much like nostalgia and a happy, familiar place. Things feel uncertain.
“How long have you two been together?” He asks, feeling a tad out of place.
“We met my freshman year. We’ve been dating on and off since then.”
“On and off?” Link questions.
Amelia clears her throat. “Well, yeah.” She sighs. “We’ve broken up more than once. And gotten back together a couple of times…It’s um…” She pauses, collecting her thoughts. “It’s been, um, I mean I wouldn’t say a roller coaster, but…”
Link watches Amelia’s face fall with her half-attempt at an explanation. For the second time tonight, Link realizes that Amelia looks different. And it’s not just the confidence or the mature face. It’s in her eyes. And Link thinks she looks sad. Despite the fact that she’s been laughing freely, the same way she always has. It doesn’t reach her eyes.
Link doesn’t want to pry. But he almost feels obligated to ask. Because this is his best friend. His favorite person of practically 13 years.
“Amelia, are you happy?”
She doesn’t look up from where her eyes are glued to the kitchen table. It feels like minutes have passed before Amelia stands up on wobbly feet and walks around to Link’s side of the table. She still doesn’t say anything, but all of a sudden she’s forcing her way into Link’s lap, legs dangling off the side of the chair and arms wrapping around his neck.
She looks exhausted, he notices, when he looks into her eyes. And then she finally opens her mouth.
“I had the biggest crush on you in high school. Probably since I was 9, if I’m being honest.” And she laughs a little bit under her breath.
She lays her head on his chest so he can no longer see her face. Link wraps his arms around her waist and places a comforting kiss to the top of her head.
“And I of course was head over heels for you, but you already knew that. Everyone did.” He whispers, tightening his grip on her just slightly, giving her a gentle squeeze.
She laughs into him, and Link can feel it on his neck. It’s a tired, breathless laugh.
“Let’s crash on the couch, yeah?” He offers. “Like old times?”
_______
It’s weird for Link the next night at dinner. To see Amelia snuggled into the embrace of another man. Not even 24 hours after she’d fallen asleep in his own arms.
Link cringes when he recites it in his head. The way he’d whispered ’I’ve always loved you, Ames. Always will’ before they drifted off.
And the way that she’d responded. ’I love you too, Link. You’re my best friend.’
Link is angry, he thinks.
_______
Link is 25 years old when he discovers that he’s destined to be a father.
When his fiancé of two years, Rachel, tells him she's pregnant, he almost falls to his knees. So overwhelmed with a feeling he can’t place. He hopes it’s that he’s overjoyed, not overwhelmed, or the least bit uncertain.
He would love nothing more than to be a father.
_______
Link feels numb, three months later, when Rachel loses the baby. Waking up in the middle of the night and discovering such a thing, rushing to the hospital, only to find out it’s too late. It was draining for the both of them.
And it takes a toll on their relationship.
Rachel is defeated. And grows more and more depressed.
She takes her anger out on Link, and he does the same with her.
They decide to take a break, and Rachel moves back in with her parents. She needs some time for herself. And Link doesn’t know if he feels relieved. But he feels something. Cause he knows he was supposed to be a father.
_______
Link is 28 years old when he discovers that Seattle is his true home.
He’s graduated medical school and landed an internship at a top hospital in the city. He’s been in Seattle for almost 2 months now, and he feels like he’s in the right place for the first time in a long time.
It’s a monday morning and he’s taking his regular train ride downtown when an all too familiar brunette steps into the subway car.
The car is kind of crowded, and she automatically makes her way to a less dense standing spot. She doesn’t see him, cause she’s not really looking around.
Link is frozen in his seat, unsure of what to do. He hasn’t seen her in almost 3 years. Since they met at a restaurant in their hometown on New Years Eve. He was with Rachel at the time and things were very different.
Link realizes the next stop is his and he almost debates staying on to take his chance with Amelia.
The doors open and Amelia is getting off. And this is his stop, too. He leaps out of his seat just in time for the doors to not close in on him as he exits the train.
And he's definitely moving a little too fast and with too much force, because as soon as he’s on the platform, he’s running right into his childhood best friend.
She looks more startled than ever. And he takes a second to catch his breath. “Long time no see, Shepherd.” He smiles.
And her face lights up like never before. Brighter than before the average walk to school. Brighter than the time she first visited him at college. Brighter than a Thanksgiving reunion. She’s pulling him into the tightest of hugs, laughing breathlessly into his ear.
“What the hell, Link? What the hell are you doing here?” She lets go of him and they’re making eye contact, smiles wide across both their faces. They both seem to need to catch their breath.
“I could ask you the same thing.” He jokes.
Amelia shakes from her daze. “I..I live here now. I start a new job today. Like now, actually.”
Link just shakes his head knowingly, trying to contain the smile that just won’t quit. He doesn’t have much to say.
He’s overjoyed.
_______
Link is 29 years old when he discovers that his 9 year old self was correct. He knows what a soulmate is, by definition.
He knows what a soulmate is when he takes Amelia out on their real first date and he doesn’t even kiss her goodbye, because the timing isn’t quite right.
He knows what a soulmate is when he watches Amelia become a brilliant neuro fellow. When he watches her work. And save lives. When he realizes that he’s loved her determination since the moment they first met.
He knows what a soulmate is when they have sex for the first time. And it's way better for the both of them than it ever was with anyone else. When they take it kind of slow, reveling in each moment. Because it doesn’t feel real. She doesn’t feel real. It’s understated and overwhelming and it drives Link insane.
Amelia had asked him to stay over after they’d gone out with some of their other co-workers after a successful surgery, and when the making out and cuddling pressed into something further, Link couldn’t deny her.
Link knows what a soulmate is that night. When she looks him in the eye and goes to remove her sweater. It’s all vulnerability and it leaves him awestruck. But this is his best friend, and his soulmate. So when he asks her if she’s sure, and she sighs with words of encouragement, he takes the opportunity to learn every inch of her skin.
Link knows what a soulmate is the next morning. When he wakes up with the sun shining harshly through the window. And he turns to Amelia, who’s still sleeping, and traces the lines and shadows on her back from the bright sun.
Link knows what a soulmate is that same morning when she finally wakes from her slumber, rolling over to face him and whispering ’let’s make pancakes.’
Link knows what a soulmate is when they move in together. In a tiny apartment in Seattle. And they paint the walls a different color in every room.
And despite their first fight, Link knows what a soulmate is. He meets Amelia’s nieces and nephews. And he makes a nonchalant comment about kids one day. And she panics. And doesn’t talk to him for three days.
Link knows what a soulmate is when he learns to compromise. Because she doesn’t always have the best track record with long term relationships. She’s nontraditional, and he understands that.
And she’s still his soulmate when they turn 30. They get a bigger house in the suburbs. Link calls it 'room to grow’ and Amelia rolls her eyes and calls it 'extra work space.’
When they’re 32, and they’re attending their co-worker’s amazingly beautiful wedding, and Amelia distractedly states that ’maybe I’ll marry you someday,’ Link knows what a soulmate is.
_______
Link is 34 years old when everything falls into place for the rest of his life.
He comes home and Amelia has cooked dinner, something she never does. (Unless this is secretly takeout food, that she’s organized neatly onto their own dinner plates).
The atmosphere is different and Amelia definitely has a nervous energy about her.
Later that night when they're practically asleep, and Amelia mumbles “by the way, I’m pregnant,” Link knows what a soulmate is.
At first he thinks she’s kidding, but when she assures him she’s not, Link is up and turning on the lights. Dancing around the room like an idiot. And Amelia is laughing. Head thrown back and everything, his favorite sight to see.
And he’s never felt so happy.
_______
They settle on a name the same day they find out it’s a boy.
“Aiden?”
“No.”
“Charlie?”
“No.”
“Sam?”
“No.”
“Link, come on. Why do you hate every single name that I like?”
“It has to feel right, Amelia. We’ll know when it’s the right one.”
“Ugh. Okay. How about you come up with one?”
Link purses his lips. “How about Scout?”
“Scout…” Amelia repeats. “That’s a funny name.”
“It is,” Link smiles.
“You have a funny name,” Amelia continues, smirking.
“Scout,” Link repeats. “It’s perfect.”
Feedback please/let me know if you want me to write more amelink/send prompts!!

Thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy: 18X07
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
I had mixed feelings about this episode. On the one hand there were parts that I loved and found really interesting. On the other hand, there were parts that I hated or thought were really dumb and nonsensical. Let’s start with what I loved. Maggie looked great in this episode! I was digging her look, the hair, the blazer, the top! It was all on point! Since this is Kelly McCreary’s first episode back since giving birth and becoming a Mom, I’m glad she got her moment to shine and look gorgeous!
I wish that her and Winston had gotten an actual storyline though rather than them just having sex all episode. I hate that Meredith is still in Minnesota so much of the time. Her spending time there as part of a separate arc from almost everyone else is really detracting from the series and my enjoyment of it. She’s the heart of the show and when she’s gone it doesn’t feel the same. Heck she interacted more with characters living and dead last season while in a coma than she has this season! As others have pointed out, even with Amelia in Minnesota, we rarely get to see Meredith interact with anybody from Seattle.
There's a magic that's missing by Meredith not being in Seattle. It makes the show really boring to watch. It feels like there are two separate shows going on and I hate that. Having the show split between two cities for an extended length of time also means that they can’t devote as much time to each plotline as they could before, and it shows. All of the storylines so far this season are really underdeveloped, and half baked. They’ve stretched themselves too far with this one. I’m with Bailey on this one. Meredith needs to ditch Nick, ditch Minnesota, and get the hell back to Seattle where she belongs!
Bailey’s star employees hung her out to dry in this episode. I’d be angry too! As usual, I hated the Meredith and Nick storyline in this episode. Nick literally said out loud that he does not care about Meredith’s kids. I fail to understand why Meredith picked this guy over Hayes who adores her kids and is an amazing father. Meredith’s comment about quitting her job and moving to Italy made literally no sense. Her Person is in Switzerland. Why would she move to Italy? We learn in this episode that Nick still hasn’t met Amelia. Which is both absurd and ridiculous. This guy literally has nothing going for him. Unlike Hayes who has everything going for him.
If that wasn’t bad enough, we see Nick screw up royally in this episode when we learn that he asked Meredith to scrub in on a patient that he has a super personal connection to without telling Meredith the full story. There’s a reason doctors aren’t allowed to treat family or friends. What a tool. Hayes would never. I was SO looking forward to watching Meredith and Hayes operate this season as the amazing dream team that they are. Instead we get this crap. What moron thought this was a good idea?
The writers really said remember how much you all love Meredith & Hayes and Amelia & Link? Let’s screw all that up in favour of Meredith & Nick, Amelia & Kai, and Link & Jo for literally no reason. I was so happy when Link told Jo he was going to pick Amelia up at the airport! Tell her you love her Link! I’m sorry Jo is getting her heart broken again as the writers clearly hate her, but I’m Team Amelink all the way! I hate that they’re setting up a potential Link - Amelia - Kai Love Triangle. It’s so tired and boring!
I’m glad that Amelia and Kai made a breakthrough with their Parkinson’s trial research, but I’m just not super invested in this storyline. The best things about it for me are seeing Tom and Dr. Hamilton. But if it brings us one step closer to getting Meredith and Amelia back in Seattle where they belong then I’m all for it! I liked that we got to learn more about Kai in this episode. I think that they’re an interesting character and that under different circumstances I would really like to see them and Amelia together.
However, in this scenario I’m rooting for Amelia and Link to get back together and work things out so I’m not on board with Amelia and Kai being more than friends. Some of my favourite quotes this episode came from Amelia. I especially loved “Your Mom or your daughter?” and “I could but I wouldn’t.” I love the solidarity and sisterhood that Amelia showed in this episode. I also really like Jo’s line, “Not the messaging she needs but thank you!”
I feel Link telling Jo he used to have a crush on her and Jo suddenly pinning for Link after trying to set him up with Meredith in Season 15 came out of nowhere and makes no sense. I hope that Jo works through her feelings, gets a new love interest, and that Amelia and Link get back together. The recruitment fair storyline was nonsensical and poorly written. I’m interested to see Bailey work with the new resident from Minnesota that’s a big fan of hers. That could be fun to watch if done right.
Until next time!

Amelink is pretty popular and they barely post about them even though they get more screentime and writing. I don't know if it's because Jake posts alot of BTS photos for them to use but still.... it's making it seem like Schmico is this major couple that the show puts effort in but they don't.
I'm a fan of MerHayes and WE ALL KNOW where they're going with MerHayes... or somewhat imply that they may have a thing but they don't post about them either.
They've also been dragging the blasted love triangle and still seem to push for Teddy-Owen but they don't post about them either.
Idk what it is that the marketing team and Shonda loves so much about schmico (us fans know but... I doubt they have the same reasons as us) when they don't even give them what they deserve. As a ship and individually.

Amelink Headcanon
When Amelia has had a long day at work or a particularly challenging surgery, Link gives her one of his exceptional back massages. He learnt this skill from the PT and the massage therapist who were working with him when he was the Mariners team doctor.  They taught him exactly which pressure points to use to release tight muscles and tension and it always makes Amelia practically melt with relief.

Hey, could you write a fic about Amelia and Lexie. Something like Zola mentioning her during lockdown and Link wondering who she is and because Mer is in a coma and Maggie didn't know her she tells them about the time she helped her convince Derek of doing Erica's surgery.
I dont think I could fic it (esp bc amelink isn’t someone I write for) but you can have a mini-drabble since ive been staring at this for a while now and ideas keep circling but not enough to be fic worthy. this is not edited either. you’re getting what ur getting. 
Maggie’s in the middle of doing Zola’s hair. Amelia’s in the kitchen, helping Bailey pour his cereal and getting ellis set up with her breakfast before they need to set the older two up on zoom calls for class. Link has scout in his arms with a bottle when Zola brings it up.  “I have to draw a family tree for class, and I put aunt Lexie on mom’s side, aunt Maggie you’re there too and aunt Amelia you’re on dad’s side right? I also have to write a sentence on the poeple in my family, just to introduce them. What was aunt Lexie like, Aunt Maggie?” 
Maggie pauses because she’s not sure how to answer. “Um, I’m not sure, sweetie. I know I’m your mom’s sister, but Lexie was her sister on her dad’s side, and im her sister from her mom’s side. its a little complicated and I never met her. I’m not really sure how to help you.” 
“Who’s Lexie? Meredith has another sister?” Link is thoroughly confused about this. Maggie laughs. “She has two, Lexie had another sister Molly. they dont keep in touch, and Lexie and me. Hopefully Zola has a big enough paper, right Zo?”
Zola nods but asks again. “How am I supposed to do this then, if I don’t know aunt Lexie. I knew her too! there’s pictures of us but none of you even know her. I need mom to come back home so I can ask her about Lexie.”
Amelia swallows. “I knew Lexie.” she says softly. 
all eyes immediately focus on her and even Link raises a brow. 
“I didn’t know her well, but I knew her. we worked a case together actually. I’d actually brought your dad this case I had, a friend of mine’s son’s mom, Erica. she had this brain tumor that I needed help removing and she was on your dad’s service. We worked so hard on trying to remove this tumor from Erica. Lexie had even talked Derek into letting me attempt removing the tumor because it all had to be done in under ninety seconds. she was a genius and would’ve made one hell–eck of a neurosurgeon. I knew she would’ve stuck with it. and what I’d heard from Meredith and my brother, Mark was pretty head over heels for her too. said they made a cute couple.” 
“Who’s Mark?” Link pipes up. 
“That’s Sofia’s dad!” Zola pipes up, she knew the answer to that one. better than what Amelia would’ve answered.  “thought he was an ex.” link makes the side comment. Amelia avoids eye contact. which causes an inquiring look. 
“well, I mean you cant be jealous now. he’s dead, link. and yes, Zola, he is Sofia’s dad. and apparently the love of your aunt Lexie’s life. We’ll definitely have to ask your mom for more stories of her. She would’ve made an excellent member on team neuro. I liked her, even if she was a little too April-kepner-y.” 
there… that’s al you’re getting because that’s all I got. sorry. hope you enjoyed. I dont write amelink so like meh. I also haven’t written Amelia or Lexie in literal years so its rough af.
