I love this!

I love how she loved Karl almost by default, and then suddenly she saw all these other possibilities. And wonderful descriptions on both Jack and Sawyer.

Great job!

[eponine119]

Thank you! Karl does seem rather default, doesn't he?

[slybrunette]

That was the impression that I got as well. She doesn't have any other choices really in her age range, or at all for that matter.

Ooh, The Tempest! I love this, her, being so dizzy and overwhelmed at the wide variety of men she's never known existed. (And SUCH men!) I love Alex fics that capture how she's straddling that line between childhood and adulthood. And this is also more than a little creepy or am I reading too much into that last line?

[eponine119]

Thank you! I guess I made the Tempest references kind of obvious but I'm still thrilled to know it worked.

I didn't really write the last line with anything creepy in mind, but considering we are talking about Benry, creepiness is practically required, isn't it?

She loved Karl because he was all she knew, now a whole other world has opened up...one of hot men with drawls and attitude and good doctors that are a little screwed up and have issues.

Her head must be swimming.

[eponine119]

My head would be swimming, too, I think! Wouldn't yours? Thanks for reading this.

[crickets]

I think I put my comment in the wrong place at first so here I am fixing that.

This was so good. *sigh* I love it.

The gold hair and inked arm and all that.

Love her discovering a world outside her own, but still wishing the truth she's always known was real.

And just upon re-reading I love LOVE this line so much!
She said she loved him -- she did love him -- because what else was she supposed to do?

Heartbreaking, that.

[eponine119]

Oh, no worries, and thanks again. I'm glad that you liked this. :)

[holycitygirl]

Ooooh this is a complicated Alex. And I love that!

Plus! "Gold hair and tanned skin to make her heart beat fast. Grizzly scruff and inked arm and gentle hands that make her knees weak." is made of amazing. (and so what gets me everytime, so really how could the poor sheltered girl resist?)

Fabulous babe!

[eponine119]

Oh, wow, thank you so much. That means a lot to me, coming from you.
