I am so in love with how you write A/I. Seriously. I think you hit on Alex's actions perfectly (the want to be needed, etc). I'm sure his seemingly irrational handling of the situation stems back to his family and having to take care of them.

I'm really interested to see how this psycho Ava story line is resolved. People keep saying maybe she has one of those tumors they're dealing with in the clinical trial, but somehow I feel like it will be something different. A tumor just seems too contrived to me, but then again I wouldn't put it past the writers at this point. All I know is I hope we get more Alex goodness out of it.

I'm very well-versed in Alex. I watch the show mainly for him now, so I guess maybe I pick up on that stuff a lot. Hence the way I write him. He's not just the asshole to me.

I think she'll die. I don't say that in a 'haha so cool' way. I say that in a serious, I really think so kind of way. It's unfortunate, but it's what I see coming. We'll know tonight either way.

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

This is such a little narrative gem, powerful, moving and full of insight. It feels so true to the story and to the characters. This part:

"“I’m not scared; I’m not some pansy ass who wants to run to mommy because life isn’t perfect.”

...sounds just like something Alex would actually say on the show.

Can't wait for your post-finale stories. I hear that we're going to find out more about Alex tomorrow than all the previous info we've had combined, so looks like you are going to have loads to work with! :-D

Alex is brutal and honest. No hiding that. There's also a certain amount of bravado that he hides behind.

Post-finale...well it really depends on how that episode goes. It's very possible that I may get fed up with it. I'm excited for the episode, but if I get let down...I'm not making any promises about fic. I need to wait and see. This show has been trying my patience and I'm kind of on my last legs with it. Hopefully tonight brings optimism with it.

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