Ooh I love this KC!
I love the way you write Alex, she always seems so real and normal and independent and idk just something about your characterization of her makes me like her even more then on the show.
And I love Richard looking out for her, making sure things don't go wrong like they did before.
This line especially is really beautiful

Richard whispers something in a language she doesn't know and Alex remembers the first time she heard those indecipherable words. A day spent unprotected from the rainfall of the jungle, her back pressed against the trunk of a tree instead of a metal door.

The connection between the rain on the island and finally the rain here and now is lovely. Plus that picture you paint of Richard just out of the shower? Yummmmm ;)
This is beautiful and the way you ended it is perfect, with that question.
You rock. <3!

Thanks I'm glad you like it! :)

I haven't written Alex in a dog's age. I mean really. A long long time.

Thanks for reading.

[crickets]

Really, it shouldn't but it does! I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks for the review!

You never cease to amaze.

First off, getting this out of the way:

Alex drops her bag by the door and finds Richard in the bedroom, fresh from the shower, his hair sticking out, fresh jeans still unbuttoned, a white t-shirt clinging to his yet dry skin.

Dear god thank you for that mental image *smirks*

I love the theme of the rain here. It ties everything together so neatly and beautifully (I can't help it -- I like weather being mentioned in fic, it's this whole atmospheric thing). The interaction between these two is awesome as well, and feels so very real, especially with the last two lines, the way it ends in a question, a bit unfinished you know?

Wonderful work as always!

Hahaha, you know, I kind of fell in love with that description the moment I read it. Truly one of my finer moments in fic. Heh.

Yeah the pic looks like a rainy day so I worked that in. I'm kind of a sucker for that sort of thing too. I'm glad it worked.

And yeah, it is kind of unfinished. I really should write more of this pairing.

[slybrunette]

I'm not stopping you from doing more. Hell I would pay you too, and so would a few other people I'm sure.

[crickets]

hah, I'll keep that in mind.

Also, eta: The moment I wrote it, not read it.

Completely wonderful! I really loved this, especially your descriptions of the characters, who are both just right. The last two lines bring up so many questions, and I'm very pleased that you ended it that way. Beautiful!!

[crickets]

Well thank you! I'm so glad the ending worked for you. (Or non-ending?) Heh. Thanks for reading and reviewing! Much appreciated.

Wow, this is so awesome.
I'm not a huge fan of Alex/Richard but I do love Alex and you made me fall in love with this fic and pairing. The idea of Alex as a 'normal' teenager is something I love to see, it's so different from the Alex we get to see. Your Richard was so youthful and vibrant too,very different but in a very good way. I love it - your characterization is perfect and this story was a great read. Thank you :)

I was hoping this came across as a little older, but around there. Thank you, I kind of realized Richard was a bit different here, but for some reason it fit with the mood. I'm glad it worked. And I am really stoked that you liked this pairing even when you don't normally. That is such a compliment. Really. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review! Means a lot!
