* FOUGHT FOR LOVE
independent & selective ADDISON MONTGOMERY from grey's anatomy & private practice. multiverse, canon divergent. as interpreted by ganymede, est. may 2019.
first and foremost, my activity will be sporadic. addison is a very dear muse to me, i will never abandon her. do not follow me if you are a minor (under 18). i only interact with people i’m following & follows me back. i also do not interact with biological fankids of addison. if we’re mutuals, you can write me starters at any point. i encourage random starters, actually because i always enjoy pleasant little surprises. you can also hop into my IMs at any given point to plot. i do have discord which i’m willing to give out upon request. doubles are sexy. i'm a lover of all things crossovers. let's cause some chaos.
* BEFORE YOU FOLLOW.
i have ADHD and depression. these two affect my day to day life quite a bit. so keep this in mind when interacting with me. in another section i'll have this outlined more in detail.i do not tolerate bigotry of any kind. i am anti-cop. i do not tolerate racism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia. i also do not tolerate incest and pedophilia apologists. if you write incest and/or pedophilia i am blocking you.i interpret canon like how i would interpret a book. i read the evidence on screen and draw my own conclusions. some will say i'm canon divergent but honestly? this is gany canon.i'm not a fan of drama. i'm older, i'm tired, i run on caffeine. i don't consider call outs about predators and bigots drama, but please keep vagueblogging to a minimum.faceclaims & characters / media i won't interact with: kilgrave (marvel), hydra based characters & verses ( james barnes exception), canon nazis, canon genocide sympathists, canon rapists and/or pedophiles
* what it means to write with me.
i have a tendency to hyperfixate on certain things and it's not something i can really control. some partners will take priority over others. because of that, some replies come slower than others and some faster than others. it's not personal. do not guilt trip me for this. i will block you so fast.please understand that because of adhd i will have a tendency to be spotty on OOC replies. i barely check IMs as is and sometimes when i do, i forget to reply. it's not personal. it's never personal. if it's personal i'll do my best to communicate it or block you.please don't pressure me to reply to you ic and/or ooc. i'm here to relax. just because you see me on the dash doesn't mean i'm necessarily around to talk. sometimes i just want to talk at the void.
* PLEASE...
tag content and mentions of: sexual assault, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, self-harm, suicide, calorie counting, eye-gore, and both mothers and fathers day.do not call addison a whore or a slut or any misogynistic slurs. bitch is fine if your muse is a woman or aligns with womanhood.do not take any headcanons from my blog. a lot of them are very personal interpretations, so that's just weird. i don't really care about graphics anymore honestly but if i do see you take my graphics i'll judge you a little. the current colouring i'm using for most parts is gifted to me from zanza.
* PORTRAYAL NOTES.
i write addison as bisexual meaning she can have romances and sex with people regardless of their gender identity. while addison has a big heart, i am a picky shipper. i need to get along with the writer behind the screen before i'm comfortable shipping her, that or the chemistry comes organically. i practice ship exclusivity, which means i will only ship with one portrayal of a character. i expect this to be reciprocated.addison develops crushes and feelings very easily. do know, i'll talk to you first before expressing those feelings explicitly in writing. i also never expect her feelings to be reciprocated.
* writing preferences.
for most parts, i am a slow writer. most times, i tend write a lot. you are by no means required to match my length. all i ask for is something to work with. i have trouble reading double small, words that are very spaced out etc. so i will adjust the formatting so i can read it.i prefer to plot my interactions first. what this means is sometimes i might ask to plot a pre-existing relationship, or to plot a potential thread idea.i’m very hesitant with being exclusive to muses. i can do it but it requires extensive writing, plotting, and whatnot. i will have mains which means that they’re the first people i go to for plotting, for threads, and their portrayal is who i’m referring to in interactions.please don't write me starters of addison patching your muse up. yes, she's a doctor but she's also a world class surgeon. the odds of her doing scut work in a hospital is very low. please plot beforehand with me if you wanna throw something like that around.
* CONTENT WARNINGS.
some of the common triggers you'll see here are mostly medical related. if i go into any vivid description of gore or blood, it will be tagged accordingly. i write addison as mentally ill so she will dissociate, catastrophize, etc. again, i will tag accordingly.there will be NSFW content present on this blog. the two shows she’s on are rife with sexual references and innuendos. i will write smut or nc-17 content but i am more than happy to fade to black if that's what my partner prefers.i tag all the “common” triggers such as in suicide, assault, sexual assault, eating disorders, gore, etc. if i did not tag one of your triggers just ask me.
* a little bit about me!
hiya! my name is ganymede, most people just call me gany! i'm 26, and i use he/they pronouns (friends can use she/her). i'm chinese-canadian, i can communicate in both english or chinese if you want. i operate under the eastern standard timezone, so i'm usually around when most people are around. i currently work as a bartender fulltime. i have adhd (i will hammer this in) so i'm a little all over the place. addison montgomery is the love of my life, forever and always. i love addison more than shondaland does and no, i don't take criticism. you can ask for my discord, but i'm very chaotic so ask upon your own discretion.

she walks with a scary air of confidence, as if nothing anyone says could waver her pristine image of herself. addison montgomery is the epitome of a ‘strong woman’ in every shape and form. being one of the most successful surgeons in her field, and one of eight doctors who can practice neonatal surgery, ob/gyn, perinatology at a world class level allows her to be rightfully confident in her capabilities. some, think she is scary. and some believe she is a midwife in scrubs. however, she is more than the dichotomies placed upon her. kind, but not a pushover ; assertive, but not domineering. addison montgomery is a cocktail of perfection. she is beautiful, brilliant, and bewitching. despite being tough, she still has a heart. however, all that is a carefully curated image. beneath the seams runs the pains of a beautifully tragic heroine.the confidence she so naturally wears? it is, or at least, was a mask she donned when she first left home. underneath the seams lies dormant the awkward adolescent girl who was ridiculed for her braces and lisp. because of this, she deeply fears being alone and the fear of being unloved. thusly, she clings to the people she loves or at least loved, even when walking away or letting go would do her better than not. this is why she tried and fought for derek because a part of her still believed. because of this she is fiercely loyal to the people she loves in spite of her adulterous moniker. for her to cheat, it is a plea, it is a cry for attention — it is the fear of being left alone… which roots itself from her youth.from the lack of intimacy with her mother and father, to her brother being the only person who came even close to being in her corner — addison deeply fears losing those she loves. she deeply fears being alone and never being loved. thusly, in the face of that threat she becomes defensive, she becomes desperate, and would do almost anything to appease. yet, in spite of what appears to be unconditional altruism she at her very core is concerned about self preservation. her altruism is not an act for others but rather, she knows if she is left alone she will rot. thusly, she clings, she sacrifices even if she doesn’t deserve love nor kindness… she needs it, thus she pursues. otherwise, if she truly cared about others, she would let the go — at least, that is how addison regards herself. she tethers and vacillates between the lines of self-loathing and self-preservation; she swings between forgiveness and endless acts of retributions committed against herself. deep within, she is radically unstable. however, those are all fears and emotions that run under the seam of her white coat that masks any insecurities she fears.

to those who only know her as doctor montgomery, she is known for her confidence, her astonishing amazing bedside manners, and her willingness to stand her grounds. she is not only an advocate for herself but also for other women. being stubborn and well established, she is not afraid of engaging in difficult topics and engaging in a sparring of words with those people. within addison montgomery lies the nuance of understanding the importance of authority but also the rebellious nature of bending the rules for the greater good. the patient’s agency is a priority first and foremost; her opinions come second. she harbours immense disdain towards the authoritative nature some people hold towards their significant others and what they choose to do with their bodies.however, despite her kindness and compassion, she is capable of being bitter and callous. her viciousness usually channeled through sarcasm allows herself for some grace but other times, she will not hesitate to confront and to argue. usually her callousness is laden with jealousy, envy, and spite — those are the times where she say things that she doesn’t mean. those are the times when she wishes she could take back but sometimes, she is too stubborn to apologize. thus, when she does, she will only apologize with the utmost sincerity. ironically, despite her willingness to confront and debate, when it comes to personal affairs, addison adapts a more avoidant approach especially when it comes to emotional affairs. after all, as forbes-montgomerys, she never learned how to properly deal with her feelings despite her appearance as someone who embraces her emotions and all the things that make her feminine.she swings between soft tenderness, gentle, perhaps even, maternal exterior to callous, unforgiving, and at times even cruel. but the truth is, she is insecure and relies on her professional exterior to mask her anxiety riddled self. her personal life is deeply troubling and she does her best to distance her troubled emotions as far away from it as she could. at the end of the day, she just craves love and to love another the same way they love her.

* BACKSTORY.
she was born on december 16th, 1968 to howard montgomery & bizzy forbes as the youngest forbes montgomery, with archer as her big brother. with a father so spectacular, and a mother so fierce, by nature, she was made to be greatness. she was forged by gold and grandeur. anything less than greatness was a shame indentured upon her family name.addison by every definition was the perfect daughter. she was both daddy’s little girl and mommy’s putty that she used to mold her into shapes and figures that she so desired. being daddy’s little girl meant lying for him, making him his favourite drinks from the tender age of eight. her father, the captain, a salacious man and his sordid affairs in the house — and all addison could do is to conceal that secret for him before she even knew the severity of adultery, before she even knew what it truly means to cheat. she lied to her mother’s face. she lied to everyone’s face donning a facade that her father and her are going out for ice cream when in actuality, he was screwing her french tutor against his office desk. eventually, she learned better. she became resentful and that's when daddy became father, and eventually father became… the captain, and nothing more.
on the other hand, she was her mother’s clay to mold. from attempted ballet classes as a child, to equestrian, to etiquette lessons, to fencing, to private french tutoring, and a myriad of other so called essential classes addison was made to take… bizzy expects nothing more from her, other than perfection. in order to establish discipline, her mother had created great distances between herself and addison, causing her to eventually address her mother with the same distant formality she addresses her father: mommy, was no longer mommy. she was bizzy. she was an authoritative figure in her life who brought her to an orthodontist and gave her the godforsaken braces, cursed her with a lisp for a duration of her adolescent. bizzy was the reason for her isolation in high school. but, she couldn’t blame bizzy. after all, the captain during this whole time had been sleeping with women left and right, in front of and behind her back… bizzy was only doing what she could to keep their family together.when she left home for university the first time, she was given a new found freedom. addison was intimidated by the amount of freedom she had. however, things started to work out for her naturally. she met a girl named clarice who she became absolutely smitten with. flash forward a few years, she broke up with clarice due to diverging paths. given the shame in her chest, she carried all that hurt and emotion on her own. then... she met a boy. and from there on, addison's story unfold and she rises to success.
* main verses.
* NEW AMSTERDAM. the default verse for all crossover interactions. addison montgomery is the head of ob/gyn dean of medicine (as of s2e15) at new amsterdam hospital. at one point, she and nicole herman reconnect and eventually she joins the staff of robbins-herman centre for women's health. when veronica fuentes took over medical director, addison slowly pulled away from new amsterdam — with two more years left on her dean's contract, she stays to fulfill that duty. however, her priority mostly shifts towards the women's centre. by the end of the show, she fully transitions onto the RHCWH. she still has privileges in new amsterdam and the rest of the network hospitals.NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS:
➔ lauren bloom ― girlfriend → fiancée → wife
➔ mallory melody montgomery-bloom ― daughter
➔ mellie grant ― best friend
➔ minerva allory ― best friend
➔ lorelai gilmore ― childhood friendhow she got here: she’s back in new york, selling the properties she got from the divorce. life in seattle was a mess -- she was lonely, alone, infertile, and without a purpose. she’s back in new york, tying up the knot of her old life that is, until she visits time square for the last time as a new yorker, reminiscing the memories she shared with derek in their youths.a pregnant woman collapses and she jumps into action. adrenaline takes over, and suddenly she’s in the ambulance with her. the next moment she knew she was in the emergency room of new amsterdam.
it has been a long time since she was last there -- perhaps, the last time was when she was still a med school student in columbia.
there was a rush that coursed through her veins, knowing that everything she did wasn’t going to bankrupt the patient. she remembered why she became a doctor and it was then that she decided to directly contact the dean -- and before she knew it, she was offered to be the head of OB/GYN as well as a position on the board since she was willing to invest in the hospital.she becomes a huge source of revenue for the hospital, bringing in rich patients who google something along the lines of “best neonatal surgeons” or something to come here. of course, much of this was to richard’s disdain. thus, she sold the house by the hamptons and kept the brownstone overlooking central park.
* SEATTLE GRACE HOSPITAL. takes place during the events of season 2 and season 3 of grey's anatomy. addison montgomery is the head of neonatal surgery and ob/gyn. she is going through marital difficulties with her husband, derek shepherd (and eventually divorces him). her life's a mess and she just wants some peace and quiet.
* OTHER LIFE EVENTS.
*UNIVERSITY. leaving her family’s home for the first time ever, addison is confronted with this newfound freedom. with her braces freshly removed, that lisp she once had in high school gone, she now has to find her voice, her confidence. being a rich girl from an uppity upbringing isn’t easy but eventually, she learns how to have fun and she begins finding herself amidst the confusing time of her undergrad. default, yale university is her undergrad but is flexible and can be put in any institution that fits. ages 16-19.
NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS:
➔ mellie grant, scandal (politicalgenius) ― roommate
➔ claire "clarice" lee-steinfeld, npc ― girlfriend*MEDICAL SCHOOL. after receiving her undergraduate degree, addison is accepted into columbia university college of physicians and surgeons. it is there that she met her future husband, derek shepherd, her best future boy friend, mark sloan. newly single after a break up with her girlfriend, she does not anticipate to find love again. but one summer, she meets derek shepherd and truthfully, it was love at first sight. thankfully, he reciprocates. ever since then they’ve been together. ages 19-23.
*RESIDENCY / FELLOWSHIPS. accepted into a surgical residency program at new york hospital, she and her med school buddies are in a ride of a lifetime. residency is notoriously hard and it is truly then that her faith towards medicine is tested. it is then that her resolve to become a doctor is tested. but everything is easier when you’re with the people you love. she is married to derek shepherd and she loves him more than she had ever loved anyone before. ages 23-35.*PRE-GREY’S ANATOMY. events pre-grey’s / her going to seattle. set in new york, where she owns a private practice and is the head of neonatal surgery at new york hospital. probably having an affair with mark sloan or still in a decently loving marriage with derek shepherd.* PRIVATE PRACTICE. takes place during the events of seasons 1 through 6 of private practice. after her disastrous attempt at fighting for her ex-husband's love back, addison decided it was time to make a change in her life. thus, she packed her life and moved to los angeles, working at a private practice with her best friend from med school, naomi. during the events of private practice she experiences a myriad of difficulties ranging from family secrets, to relationship dynamics, and her grappling with her inability to get pregnant. i'm fairly canon divergent in this verse.
* what if...?
*& IT CALLS ME HOME. events in which addison returns to seattle permanently after derek’s death to be there for amelia. at first addison relocated to seattle temporarily but jake reilley and her had a lengthy discussion. thusly, she moves back permanently to seattle with jake. currently, she is head of neonatal surgery & head of ob/gyn at grey sloan memorial hospital as well as a mother with a child.*CHIEF OF SURGERY. after the events of season six, the board contacts addison, offering her a job in seattle. she takes her time to decide, initially saying no. she was done with the life of being a full-time surgeon and definitely done with seattle grace hospital. the board offers to increase her pay as an attempt to tempt her. however, after the tumultuous series of emotional affairs with noah, and the falling out of her friendship with naomi, addison takes the job and hands oceanside wellness back to sam. addison returns to seattle with a bigger salary, and more responsibilities. she becomes interim chief of surgery after derek shepherd quits, at seattle grace mercy west.*CHIEF OF STAFF. tw: suicide, death. when bizzy died by suicide, it gave addison a sense of clarity to think long & hard about making real, genuine changes to her way of living. after returning to seattle to operate on callie & sofia, addison was made aware of the fact that the chief of staff position there had an opening. that notice rekindled a lost passion she had for being chief of surgery years ago. so she returns to LA, thinks about it again and applies. hours later, she gets a call back and was offered the position over the phone. addison becomes chief of staff, right before callie and arizona's wedding.
*SINGLE MOM. after addison discovers mark sleeping with a nurse, she keeps the fetus instead of aborting it. in one night, she takes her belongings and moves into a house she purchased. perhaps, in a moment and lapse of judgement, she decides to not tell mark sloan about it and instead, she serves derek divorce papers : it’s not right to keep him in a marriage where she’s carrying the child of another man.
so she moves, and joins a practice with a bunch of people she met during one of her fellowships — well, specifically a women’s centre and she serves as an ob/gyn, board certified neonatal surgeon, perinatologist, as well as a medical geneticist until she goes into labour. on january 23rd, 5:13pm she gives birth to a girl, naming her ‘ella melody montgomery’.
anyways, flashforward, when ella turned 16, she got into a prep school for a prestigious institution (default, it’s the one associated with columbia) and with that, addison also took that as an opportunity to change up the pace of her life — so, she decides to work full time at a hospital again and got hired as the hospital’s chief of surgery.

://EARLY YEARS.
addison adrienne forbes-montgomery was born in on a snowy day in hartford, connecticut to howard montgomery ( a betazoid ) & elizabeth 'bizzy' forbes. she's the youngest of two of the forbes-montgomery children. born to a family of scientists & doctors, the natural betazoid tendencies are frowned upon.her father was the son of a betazed to earth ambassador and her mother was the daughter of a renowned astrophysicist within the alpha quadrant. the two met & became best friends. with pressure from her family to marry & reproduce, bizzy married addison's father.however, the more time her father spent with bizzy, the more he became ashamed of his natural betazed tendencies & physiology. so overtime he adopted a human name of 'howard montgomery' & got iris implants to appear more humanoid.
FIG. 1 : a young addison montgomery as a cadet.
when her brother was born, he was born with blue irises much to his parents' pleasure. however, when addison was born she had naturally black irises — a notable trait of betazoids. her family panicked, and her father, who became a surgeon during his stay on earth was the one who performed an iris implant surgery, giving her blue irises.growing up, addison's been the more emotional out of the two — proving that her betazed genes are more prominent than her brother archer's. being taken to a pediatrician at a young age, addison was diagnosed with DOPAMINE DEFICIT DISORDER
or more archaically known as ATTENTION DEFICIENT HYPERACTIVE DISORDER
. thus, she received an implant to stimulate the brain's dopamine production.the implant allowed addison to focus & center herself more, instead of being lulled away by her surroundings. thus, her awareness to herself was the missing key to unlocking her telepathic abilities.
on the outside, everyone thought of addison as a kind & considerate child who could easily anticipate people's needs. but the reality was : she was reading their thoughts, their minds, & physically embodying their emotions.bizzy & howard convinced her that she was just imagining things. after all — she was just human ... right? or so, she thought.
FIG. 2 : dr. addison montgomery, a galactic class surgeon & scientist.
comparatively, addison was much more sensitive than her older brother archer. she cried easy. she laughed easy ... but that wasn't encouraged. so her family would falsely interpret vulcan philosophies, which lead her to ignore her emotions & signs of sensory overload.
://STARFLEET ACADEMY.
addison always had a curiosity for medicine & biology. since she was five years old, she knew she wanted to be a doctor. she's excelled at school since a young age, garnering amazing recommendations. thus, upon a teacher's recommendation, she got a sponsor & enrolled in the starfleet academy.during the initial physical exam before entering the academy, she got access to her medical records for the first time as previously, she never felt the need to look at them. what she would find out would shake her entire world.at age sixteen, first semester in san francisco, she finds out that she was never fully humanoid. she was half-betazoid all along.this discovery would trigger her to cut off contact from her parents. the ethics, the psychological impact of this secret was not something she could stomach. however, she still had some understand with regards to family affairs due to her still keeping in touch with her brother, archer.during her years in the academy, she majored in exobiology but also developed a keen interest in exolinguistics, exoarchaeology, & many other things. she's learned a myriad of archaic languages such as french, spanish, and latin. she was also an active member of the fencing team.
during her years in the academy, she's garnered the interest of a group of vulcans who decided to help her "maximize" her telepathic potential as it "would be the logical thing to do" & she could sense their affection behind their intentions.
://CAREER.
after four years, she went to medical school where she met her husband, derek shepherd & boyfriend, mark sloan — a polycule of some sort. all three of them graduated together & served on various starfleet ships whilst developing their own specialties, & own interests. eventually, due to the failure of her being unable to balance her work & pursuit of knowledge with her personal relationships, she ends up alone & single at some point.
://INTERESTS.
❯ FENCING : been a long term hobby of her's that she's had since she was 12. during her academy years, she was an active member of the fencing team — during her final year, she was the captain of the fencing team.
❯ PIANO : she's been taking piano lessons for as long as she could remember, well, more precisely since she was four years old. it's meant as an act of self discipline from her parents' perspective but for her, it's actually an expression of emotions and offers a healthy avenue to regulate herself.
❯ EQUESTRIAN : possibly one of her favourite things. there's something so liberating about just letting herself go free & being able to communicate with her steed whilst riding in the wild.
❯ TENNIS, RAQUET-BALL : she's played both a lot during her academy years and they're both common sports she's use to bond with her fellow crewmates
❯ THEATRE : she'll never openly admit this but at some point, she was a theatre kid ... especially during the academy years. one of her favourite plays ever is much ado about nothing by shakespeare.
