Veronica's A/N: Hi, I am Veronica and Hel is my twinnie. I welcome all readers to my and Hel's brand new Dempeo fic - A Thousand Years! As you can guess, the fic is inspired by the awesome song by Christina Perri. Hel and I have been friends for quite a while now, and soon after meeting each other online, we decided to start this Dempeo project of ours. Both I and Hel are HUGE Dempeo shippers, and we are very very excited for this fic! I hope that all of you will like our humble attempt at our first Dempeo story, and get on board this journey.

Welcome on board!

Hel's A/N: Here comes the one named Ellen who's writing a fanfiction about Ellen... anyway! I met this great gal online, and I've immediately fallen for her! She's great! And when we write together, we really do create fireworks! Ok, that was arrogant much.
We hope you'll enjoy this story as much as we're enjoying writing it... let us know what you think!!!

Enjoy :D

Disclaimer: Obviously, we don't own the characters of the story. If we did, Vero would be making googly eyes at Paddy and throwing herself at him, and Hel would be trying to corrupt Ellen's straightness (and hers). Anyway, the characters - Patrick Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo - belong to themselves. Shondaland and Grey's Anatomy belong to Shonda Rhimes. Remember, all of this is purely a work of fiction. Cheers!

Lyrics of "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave

How can I love when I'm afraid

To fall

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt

Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day

waiting for you

Darlin' don't be afraid

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more

Time stands still

beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything

Take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath,

Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day

Waiting for you

Darlin' don't be afraid

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more

And all along I believed

I would find you

Time has brought

Your heart to me

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died every day

Waiting for you

Darlin' don't be afraid,

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more

And all along I believed

I would find you

Time has brought

Your heart to me

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more

Prologue will be up within 15 minutes! :)
