Me love so much everything about this. Your little subtle lines about Alex feeling like home and him remembering things - it's all too beautiful.

Aw thank you! I'm glad you liked this!

As usual, I love this. Because I kind of like the fact that it's not all about the death and the dying-- don't get me wrong, I've loved yours and a lot of other's fics about where the group (and primarily these two) go from here. But it's nice to have something that isn't shmultzy or out of character but it's still in the aftermath of all the cancer. (I don't know if I'm making any sense, but it's nearly midnight here haha)

Anyways, funny and beautiful all at the same time. GAWD, I just love your Alex. Always voiced perfectly.

I know what you mean -- we all need a break from the death and the dying, but also isn't...fluff. Because that gets old, to me, even quicker than the angst.

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

Yay! A realistic yet happy Alex and Izzie story! You capture them so well. As much as I love how the show is bringing out their emotional side, I also like their passionate bickering side as well. Izzie is a little bit bitchy and Alex is sarcastic and, well, Alex. My favorite line is "She wonders about all the things she still doesn't know about him." I feel the same way.

Thanks again for all of your writing, it really is a highlight and a wonderful alternative to this sometimes heartbreaking and frustrating storyline.

The show has been very...one sided for the past 10 episodes or so, and I miss the other side of them. I like the bickering. It's just...them.

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

Yeah! Happy!A/I. Or at least to me that seemed happy. I would have liked to see them make it to Vegas, but I think this is more believable. Izzie and Alex would be the couple where its 10 years down the road and they realised that they are already married...they just haven't paid the fine and done the paperwork.

I don't think they're at the right place for that right now. They've never really been all that stable; they haven't had the time. Yet.

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

I love this! You capture both of them so well. I can totally see this kind of response from them, feeling some sort of compulsive need to rush their relationship after Izzie's illness.

Your descriptions are excellent. I felt like I was hanging out in the back seat of that car. (but not in a creepy way, haha)

Illnesses like these teach you many things, and one of them is that life is short. I think this will make them move faster, unfortunately. As for the descriptions -- thank you, that's quite nice of you to say. I tried a bit harder here than I tend to.

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