I think you really got Alex here, because even though he dosen't like to admit it, he does care for his friends.
Very good fic.

[slybrunette]

Remember in Losing My Religion, when he was talking about "his team"? That's what I was thinking of when I wrote this.

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

[ladybeth]

Thats what I thought about too. And there have been other parts during the show where he's shown how he has cared for the others. Although George is hard to find.

Loved it. Mer and Alex are so similar. I wish they'd give them more friendship scenes. You portrayed them well!

[slybrunette]

I wish they'd do more with them as well. It annoys me that they've all but given up on them.

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

This is really great; I love Meredith and Alex's friendship because in a way, his no BS-attitude with her brings out something more honest in Meredith. And like you've captured at the end, Meredith also has a way of getting him thinking about the stuff he normally tries to ignore.

Meredith's behavior and musings here are perfectly her, dark and twisty and sad but simultaneously hopeful. You remind me of why I could like her, which is hard to do, because usually she and I are not on the best of terms. I wish there was more Meredith and Alex platonic interaction on the show, because I like her a lot more around him.

*hugs*

You know, I'll always hate them for dropping the Mer+Alex friendship. That was their only other male-female friendship on the show, aside from George+Izzie, which they killed obviously. I like what they bring out in each other, like you said. They just get each other I think.

A lot of people don't like Meredith. I totally understand that. Oddly I'm not one of those people, I just hate her with Derek. Which is unpopular but whatever. She's fun to write, with the right characters and circumstances.

I'm glad you liked this hun! Thanks for reading! (And I really don't remember that you watched GA. News to me, and Woot!)

I think I really just hate Meredith with Derek too. So we can be unpopular together. I feel like Derek brings out the worst in her. Because really, what Meredith needs is someone to tell her to get her head out of her ass, pardon the language, and all Derek does is coddle her and indulge her. She doesn't grow up around him, she regresses. I like Meredith a lot when she's with Cristina or Alex or the Chief...(none of those meant romantically. ;) )

I watch a crapload of shows but LOST and SPN are kind of the only ones I regularly post about...I'm always surprising people with what I'm watching and not talking about! lol. ;)

[slybrunette]

That is my exact problem with her and Derek. She doesn't learn how to grow up. He treats her as this broken child and it only makes it worse. And I like her with all of the people you mentioned too, although I've been known to write Mer/Alex and Mer/Cristina, even if I don't actively ship either.

I know what you mean. I watch a lot of stuff other than what I mention on here, but a lot of them are guilty pleasures.

4 words 'these are his people' totally take me back to Alex's 'team' speech at the end of season 2. Sounds very true to both the characters mindsets. Great work as always and it's great to see some more Alex/Meredith fics!

[slybrunette]

That's what I was thinking of with this, strangely enough. It is very reminiscent of that speech, and I loved that speech, so I guess that's good.

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

Hello! Just popping by to check in with you re: Sweet Charity since I think the deadline is getting close? Anyway, whenever you're done with the story just go ahead and post it and then I'd love it if you would comment on my journal with the link. Or something like that. Hope all is going well! :)

[slybrunette]

Yeah, sorry that's been taking so long hun. I've been really sick and dealing with family issues so I haven't been able to get much GA fic done. Just getting back into the swing of things. I'll try and get it out within the week. Sorry for the delay.
