I read this days ago and didn't leave feedback because I was lazy, but I just reread it and loved it just as much now as I did then.

Burke has always been a favorite of mine and I still miss him at times. And, honestly, I always thought he and Cristina were honestly mean to be even if he did 'take pieces of herself' or whatever (I never did buy that speech) and I love that you got that so effortlessly in this piece. The way she leans on him, even now, even after all years because *this* did happen exactly this way in my personal canon.

As for the Izzie stuff. Well done, of course. Alex/Izzie is the first ship I ever really got behind on this show (go figure)and even though I sort hated her at the end -- even though I think a lot of that hate came from KH -- I still can appreciate this because he still loves her and she still felt like she was doing the right thing.

And as a final sidenote and slight rant:

Her and George, they used to be the heart.

Probably my favorite line in fic right now. Could be because I was watching the season 5 finale on lifetime earlier and it made me remember how much I loved George and how underused he was and how, I think, a lot of that heart is missing now.

In short (and sorry for spamming): I adore this in case you couldn't tell.

I never bought the way they ended Burke/Cristina because it was so clearly due to cast issues (like everything else on this show, lol) so, yeah, I believe they were meant to be. The writers can kiss my ass.

A/I was my OTP. It will forever be my OTP -- but that didn't mean I liked Izzie by the end, for sure, so I know what you mean.

Also, your rant? I've so been there. Reruns are...interesting to watch at this point.

I'm so glad you liked this hun! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
