So I've been pretty terrible about reading Grey's fic lately, but I simply had to give this a go. And...oh god, I am SO not sorry I did. MY HEART, UGH. This is just so gutwrenchingly good and there's this pain in my chest because of the beautiful angst. And the ending, the dismal glimmer of hope (if that makes sense) that's just so ~THEM, ack.

I loved this, wholly and completely. Just...you make my life when you write Alex/Lexie, can't even lie. <3333

Thank you so much!! The finale was gut wrenching for me because it brought all the Alex/Izzie back that I was half convinced I had gotten over (apparently not!). BUT... then Lexie was pretending to be Izzie and she was holding his hand and telling him that she loved him and... gah.

And I'm back. On the Alex/Lexie train. I'm so back.

I really enjoyed this fic. I was scared that it would be too depressing but it turned out to be the opposite. It's so realistic and believable. I love the way you added in bits about other couples, about how happy and perfect they seemed in the wake of tragedy and how that's not what life and love is really about. That's so true. I love the way you wrote Alex's recovery and Lexie's patience. They really do make such a cute couple.

Thank you! Yeah, I deliberately tried to steer clear of the morosely depressing for this fic!!! It's only mildly suicidal! Haha.

And hell yes, a cute couple they do indeed make!

I do enjoy your brand of pensive.

He makes it to just after lunch on day two before Bailey pulls her aside and whispers that she's herded him into an on call room and threatened him with grievous bodily harm if he so much as thinks about moving for the rest of the day.Is it bad that I really, really want that to happen on the show? *G* And can picture it so very vividly ( ... )

I do enjoy your brand of pensive. Thank you! (And I do enjoy YOUR brand of pensive... *stares dreamily at pensive!dean - sigh*).

Yeah, I so want mother hen Bailey when he comes back to work. Please give us mother hen Bailey!

I'm glad you liked the italics. Initially I'd written a whole single paragraph that was centred around all the other couples, but it seemed a little out of place just tacked on at the end, so I decided to split them up and intersperse them between the contrasting Alex/Lexie stuff.

Thank you for the awesome review!

THANK YOU BB!! And I'm glad you got the hopeful vibe, no matter how feint it was because I really wanted to give them some light at the end of the tunnel that is NOT a train!!!

Also, I'm glad that you liked the italics! I'm sorry for shipping Mark off into the ether, but if it makes you feel any better, in my head he went to LA and had hot, dirty, sandy sex with Addison!

And yeah, I recorded the finale the other night too! I rewatched this arvo (the Alex/Lexie parts). I have a feeling those parts of the video will get worn out a little quicker than the rest!

I love this fic. It's good that Alex/Lexie were able to get through what happened to them together and that they were still together years later.

However, even though I am glad that they [Alex/Lexie] worked out, it sad that Mark was forgotten by practically everyone that he knew. I mean seriously, he known those people for years and the first person to notice that he was gone was Teddy?! Even that bit of recognition took 3 days, which is just depressing.

Now there are 2 other snippets in the story that got me curious: the one regarding Owen/Cristina and the one regarding MerDer. With Owen and Cristina, I am curious about how he went from choosing Cristina to screwing Teddy. With the MerDer snippet, I was wondering, did they truly separated from each other over the shooting? If so, then I guess I have another reason to find this fic depressing.

it sad that Mark was forgotten by practically everyone that he knew. Ha. Yeah. I'm not a Mark fan at all, so I'd EASILY not notice him for three days! And it's kind of meant to mean that everyone was so tied up in themselves and their own dramas that they didn't notice he was gone until... well, until he was ( ... )
