That was excellent. Very interesting twist on the AU and you had me not missing Derek for a second. Amazing job!

[slybrunette]

I had myself not missing Derek for a second ;)

I'm glad you thought it was interesting! Thanks for reading!

Wow, this was awesome. I would never have dreamt up this scenario. All three sound just right and I really like the way you write Meredith in this.

Kinda makes me wonder how it would have turned out if Alex had been the guy in the bar from the get go, you know?

[slybrunette]

I never would've either. But I was prompted so I went with it.

If Alex was the guy at the bar...that would be a whole other story. Suffice to say the show would be a bit different dontcha think?

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

The possibilities are endless. But then again anything without McDreary would be awesome. The joys of fic...

[slybrunette]

So I'm not the only one who doesn't like him ;)

This is the first Mark-substitutes-McDreamy story I've read that I've actually liked. The problem I've found with a lot of people who write it is that somehow Mark always seems to take on characteristics of Derek. He's more sweet than Mark should be and it... bothers me. I guess because it's as if they just substituted "Derek" for "Mark," rather than write a whole take on things. But you didn't do that, I guess is my point. You managed to keep sort of the frame of events, but kept Mark in character and then added the other element of Alex into the mix. I loved it.

And of course I loved that she picked Alex in the end... but I'm sure you knew that. ;)

[slybrunette]

I've never even read one before -- though I'm not surprised it's been done. And yeah, I've seen people try to write Mark/Meredith and end up transferring a lot of Derek into Mark...and that's just not keeping with character. Mark is not like Derek at all when it comes to relationships.

And I figured you might like the Mer/Alex in the end, but it was just a guess ;)

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

You know me too well! :P

awww I love it thank you so much. Of course it helps I love both Meredith/Alex and Meredith/Mark. Great job.

[slybrunette]

I'm thrilled you liked it, I was kind of worried about that. Thanks for your patience, and for a great prompt!

[indigo_baby]

oh oh OH this was good! This might get my seriously writer's blocked (does that even make sense?) head uncorked enough to write some more Alex/Meredith. Just yay! I could so see this happening. <3

[slybrunette]

Woot for that because we certainly need more Alex/Meredith! It's always good to hear that I got the proverbial juices flowing :)

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