This is great, those two are really growing on my and I really like that they're actually developing Sloan than just the 'manwhore' tag.

Well, Sloan is a manwhore. But that's on the outside. It's the dark inside that's the most fun to play with.

I'm glad you liked this; thanks for reading and reviewing!

A++ on the title. That is so them.

Plus of course this is brilliant, the little details: I love them. Lexie's habit with the radio and Mark's reaction to the whole thing and Meredith and Derek finding out.

lol, thanks. My friend was making an M/L fanmix, and ever since she mentioned it I always thought of that song as very them. Glad you agree.

I'm so happy you liked this; thanks for reading and reviewing!

I really liked this. The evolution of it, the clear, subtle look inside of Mark's head. Fics in his voice that are actually good are a rarity, and it was a pleasure to find this. Thanks for posting!

(p.s. I'm waiting patiently for another chapter of that other fic lol. Yes, I am pushy!)

I think it's because Mark is hard to right. Hell, I still think I'm shaky on him, but hearing you liked it makes me feel a bit better.

I'm glad you liked this; thanks for reading and reviewing!

(I swear I'm doing it tomorrow -- I just can't seem to get into the right mindframe, but I'm actually trying to outline some of it right now. Be pushy, it's the only way that I get things done)

Always love how you write Mark and that you let us see inside his head. It makes me happy that they finally throw caution to the winds about being seen together.

Aw thanks! I really hope that Meredith and Derek and their little problem with this doesn't get in the way of them actually being something...I see possibility in these two.

I'm glad you liked this; thanks for reading and reviewing!

Ooh, I love the lyrical transitions! (And I'm glad you found most of the rest that I failed at)

I can see this happening. Because Mark isn't a sap but we all know he's a bit of a softy if it's the right person, and I think Lexie is that person in this case. He's usually with pushy women, women who know what they want (i.e. Addison) because he feels safe with that. But Lexie makes him question, and by giving her confidence he gives confidence to himself for the rest of it.

But anyway, the point I was trying to get to before that impromptu psychoanalysis, is that I liked this :D

slybrunette January 2 2009, 15:03:25 UTC

The lyric thing would be a you thing. Cause it's artsy. So thanks for all the help on that end.

That bit of (helpful) psychoanalysis didn't sound like someone who isn't really a M/L fan. And yet. But you're right -- Lexie is just plain and simple something different. He doesn't know how to deal with that. Part of the reason I want these two together is because it'll give us another side of Mark's character and I really want to see that.

I'm glad you liked this hun; thanks for reading and reviewing!
