Had I had the energy, I would've gone back and edited out both colorings and fxs, because the final result is ugly as, I apologize. I'd much prefer a stripped down version, but hey .... I made this months ago, and it's just been sitting there gathering dust, so here it is.

These two hold a VERY special place in my heart. The amount of times I got emotional over them, oh boy.
I'm a sucker for many mentor relationships on the show, but I gotta say this one definitely takes the cake.

I mean, bubbly overconfident army-brat mentors grumpy reluctant underdog? Sign me the fuck up. I was on board since the first time they interacted, and it kept getting better and better over time. She looked past everything she had been told about Alex Karev. Saw his potentional underneath all the douchey layers. I think she lowkey related to that aspect of him ("You remind me of me"). Not that she ever was as bad-tempered as him. But she was cocky, and even selfish to a certain degree. Difference was, she knew how to transform those faults into strength. And she taught him that, too.
And I love how at some point Alex started paying back all the support he had had from her, letting her lean on him. Ugh, that kind of trust.

I think this is one of the defining relationships Alex has had - along with Jo's and Mer's (my holy trinity) - over the course of the seasons. It really showcase the range this character has in his interactions with women on this show, which is something I really appreciate. You have romantic love (Jo), friendship (Meredith), and mentorship (Arizona). Holy trinity.

If it wasn't clear, she's the king and he's the lionheart.
