this little war
lexie/alex; lexie/mark
spoilers for all aired episodes.

I have about 5,000 other work-in-progress fics dealing with the aftermath, but this one seemed to write itself today. I'm just still sifting through how I feel about the finale, because until I can wrap my head around what happened, I can't really speak for the other characters. ( Read more... )

character: little grey, character: big grey, pairing: lexie/mark, grey's anatomy, pairing: lexie/alex, character: karev, character: dr. mcsteamy

Thanks so much... glad you liked it.

Haha, she does need a hug...she's sadder than I originally planned for her to be in this fic.

Thanks for reading!

I actually ship solely Mark/Lexie. Then again, I've always been hardcore M/L. And as you had noted in the fic, I think Lexie does love Alex, but not in THAT way. Not in the way I think she loves Mark and vice versa. Anyway, I truly enjoyed this. :)

I'm definitely a M/L shipper more so than a A/L shipper. But I do find Alex's dynamic with Lexie very interesting. That said, I want her with Mark, but I don't think it's going to happen overnight.

I'm really glad you enjoyed this! Thanks so much for reading!

That was amazing. I've had ideas running around in my head since that episode aired and I still haven't been able to get them on paper. You did beautifully. I could feel Lexie's shocked detachment as she processed what had happened and what was going on in her life.

Aw thank you, as always! I'm glad you were able to feel Lexie's struggle in this. I wanted to write some sort of post finale fic, and I definitely wanted Lexie to finally pick Mark, but I knew it wouldn't happen easily...so I'm happy you could feel her detachment as she processed everything that went on.

I absolutely loved these scenes. ALL of them, including the meeting with Thatcher and bonding with Derek. They really should be on the show ( ... )

*hugs*

First of all, thank you so much for commenting...I love you fic, so it means so much coming from you :)

I'm glad you picked up on so many little details that mean the world to Lexie, but could be overlooked by others.

Here's my stance on A/L: I love Alex opening up to Lexie. I like watching his character grow and open up, etc. That being said, I do not think Lexie is over Mark and I also don't think she realizes this. The more he opens up, I think the more scared she becomes. I'm also convinced the "I love you" was more about her thinking Alex was dying than actually loving him. I also am convinced it may have something to do with Mark telling her he loved her the episode before.

I wanted to show her talking to Mark in a way she doesn't talk to other people, Alex included, in order to realize who it is she really loves. I'm so glad that came through.

Thanks again for reading...by the way, I'm really upset that I only just noticed you wrote post-finale fic! Now I know what I'm reading tonight :)
