Aww. He's good for her. :)

[slybrunette]

Yeah, I truly think he is.

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Really sweet :) I've been looking around for fics that detail the fallout of the Thatcher/Mark/Lexie dinner and I really loved this depiction.

[slybrunette]

I wanted to do something that was actually about the dinner, but that didn't work out so well, so, the aftermath works.

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

I'm so far behind in reviews, it's pathetic =( Anyways.

I love what you did with Lexie here, giving her a more rounded reaction to having her dad back. She's forgiven him, but didn't forget that he wasn't there for her. He hurt her. And I think that's something that should have been addressed on the show (or maybe they will address it). So I love the fact that Lexie made this speech. And I love that she tied it in with Mark being there instead.

This whole story makes me go a little bit "OH." Like I'm witnessing some moment that was inadvertently lost and forgotten about on GA but really brings everything full circle. Because this, it reads like something that should have been on the show. And honestly, my vocabulary isn't big enough to explain the many ways why I adore this fic.

Keep writing post-eps. You rock them =)

Sorry for such a late review, but like I said...I'm so pathetically behind in them =(

[slybrunette]

I'm always behind on reviews. Always. So, yeah, I do not judge.

I don't think that you can just forgive and forget like that. From my own experiences anyways.

That's the thing I love about post-eps -- trying to tie them in with the show, giving it that extra oomph to the ending that it didn't have. So I'm glad you thought that it fit.

Thanks for reading and reviewing hun!

Lexie's little speech at the very end made me wibble a little. It ties in nicely with her eagerness for Mark to meet Thatcher, but not for the reasons she originally gave to Mark.

Mark and Lexie are really very good for each other. <3

[slybrunette]

Who knows if those reasons were legit -- I always believe there is more under the surface than what they give us a lot of the time.

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