This was wonderful. I'm pretty sure that this is the first Alex/Ava fic I've read and it was beautifully simple. All the other characters were there just sort of as background and the parallel of Joe describing Ava to Joe describing Denny's father to Izzie was a nice touch. And I think that you pretty well nailed Ava's character even though we only heard her speak and interact properly for the last few episodes she was on.

Well done. ♥

I hadn't seen any Alex/Ava fics, and I had a real problem with the way they left that off in the finale, so I ended up writing it myself instead of waiting.

Glad you caught on to that parallel, I wasn't sure anyone else would ;)

And it's good to hear that I didn't do to horribly on Ava, as I haven't watched those last few episodes except for their original airings so I'm a tad rusty, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get into her character and her voice.

Thanks for reading!

very good. I totally skipped that episode so I'm slightly confused on some parts, but that didn't keep me from enjoying this. I love how Joe is listening in the background.

Okay, to sum it up, they had this whole argument where she said she had no reason, medically to stay, but she wanted him to give her a reason. She didn't want to go with her husband, who she had run away from in the first place, she wanted to stay with him. And it looked like he was going to give in but he said that she should be with her husband, the good guy.

He went to B/C wedding, and was talking to Addison, kind of hitting on her, and she said that he didn't want her he wanted Ava. So he ran back to the hospital finally getting up the guts to tell her to stay and she was gone.

Does that help?

And I love Joe so he had to be in here :)

Thanks for reading!

Ah, yeah, the clears things up. (although part of me is still hoping for a Izzie/Alex reunion).

Do they say why she was running from her husband?

[slybrunette]

I think she was just tired of him, and of her life. He wasn't abusive or something, but she was bored more than anything.

And I want Izzie/Alex just as much as you do, believe me.

I absolutely loved this. I hated how their storyline ended in the finale, because I love Alex and I hate the fact that when he finally did get a storyline, it wasn't even properly wrapped up. But this was beautiful in all its simplicity, and I could actually see it happen (even though I know it never will. Sigh).

[slybrunette]

I hated it too, lots of pillow throwing/shouting at the TV through that finale, and now that I know that Elizabeth Reaser isn't slated to come back I had to write something with them, if not to just wrap their storyline up for myself.

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reading!

This is the first Alex/Ava fic I've seen and I loved it. Snaps for you for writing something new.

Thank you! It's always nice to do something new for a change, and I'm glad you liked it.

I love Joe, and you got his charcter perfectly here. All of the little hints to the cumulative shit that hit the fan in the finale (Callie, Deric) being represented at the bar made my laugh for some reason. I'm still not sure about this pairing, but I think Alex not wanting her to be his Denny pretty much summed up my hesitation.

[slybrunette]

Derek. Not Deric. Yes, I know it's a character in your fic, but seriously. Just a friendly reminder, for your neighborhood spelling nazi.

And I love Joe. He rocks. So I had to put him in.

I wasn't sure either. I didn't like the 'she's his Denny' thing, but they grew on me, and all I really want is Alex to be happy at this point. He's one of the last people I care about.

Thanks for reading!

Fine, spelling Hitler, Derek then. I always confuse myself, because I have to switch between spellings.
