Field Notes 3
I picked out this fan art because it is representative of the ship “MerDer”. This is arguably the most well-liked relationship by the fandom. Most of the fans love this relationship because of everything that this couple has been through, and how they have stuck with one another throughout the show. The candles represent when the couple finally decides to be together, as well as the outline of the house that they end up building together. The creator of this art used a popular scene from the show to design a work that represents this couple and what it means to them and many other fans. A large number of fans still create fan art of Derek Sheperd, even after his death in the show. The quote is from the couple, but from a different time. This photo has different details that incorporate different events in the relationship of the characters, and it is well thought out to weave them together in this art.
