I haven't even read it yet but I already love it because if it's the ending you wanted for Mark and Lexie, then I'm sure I will love it, too. I'll be back for this.

Lord, you like Mark/Lexie, too? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?

Where have YOU been all MY life? I was almost completely alone in May! spyglass_ somehow managed to make me feel like she was going through it with me, which is amazing considering she doesn't even watch the show. But even she knew who they were, who Lexie was, and felt attached to Lexie just because I was and I'd put her all over my Tumblr. So, yes. Very much looking forward to a) reading decent Mark/Lexie fic, and b) reading decent Mark/Lexie fic that hopefully won't rip my heart out.

This is so wonderful, and so wonderfully them. I'm not usually the biggest fan of AUs, but you managed to introduce new characters that I immediately felt attached to, whilst also keeping Mark and Lexie recognisable in spite of the time jump. I thought your Mark was perfect, and your Lexie was utterly believable. There were so many things dealt with badly on the show, particularly where it came to them, and yet the S8 finale still managed to destroy me. This has made me feel better, thank you.

OH MY GOD

I JUST GOT DONE READING THIS AND OHHHHH, HOW MUCH DO I MISS THEM???? SO MUCH.

but everything in this is really gorgeous. Lexis is so real and true here and her little bursts of assertiveness intertwined with her shyness and her love for what she wants, it's so stunning. And MARK. Mark and his stupid self and oh these two. It just kills me. YOU KILL ME WITH THIS.

I'll have a better comment later when I regain my thoughts.

I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKED THIS! This will probably be the last substantial thing I ever write for these two, so it was basically everything I ever wanted for these two in 16K of... angsty fluff. It was total fanservice, and I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks for reading, bb!

Okay, so I'm in Los Angeles visiting my sister and we're getting ready to go to this party tonight but I stopped everything the instant I saw this was updated and just so you know - saving to my memories immediately! Back in 2009 (yes I remember the year), I found Mark and Lexie/Grey's and someone on FF.net told me to check out LJ because the Mark/Lexie community was so warm and getting bigger and just made of awesome people. You were the first M/L writer I found and the one I feel who has truly shaped my writing. Every day I write Mark/Lexie, I hope to be as good as you because your stuff is still the best I have ever read. Yes, this comment is extremely corny but I don't care because I just wanted you to know how much you writing M/L means to me and it makes me so sad that you will probably never write them again. But this made me so happy because this was perfect and sad and happy and bittersweet and had just the right amount of angst but also had a hopeful ending that made me smile. I loved every word of this and I am so happy you

I am going to miss these two. I really am. Mostly because being a part of this fandom brought me to you and so many others, and really helped my writing to evolve. I am so thankful for that, I really am. *hugs* I'm so glad you liked this.

So, so glad you liked it. I am to please *g* But seriously, this was such fanservice for me. ALL I WANTED WAS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. OR SOMETHING LIKE IT. Well, at least now it exists in fic. *sighs* For me, this is what happened. Nothing else matters. I will live in denial FOREVER.

This is gorgeous, and goes such a long way to making up for ~things that happened and didn't~. I love your Lexie, and maybe love your Mark even more. Gorgeous.

Thank you very much!
