I gratefully accept hugs ;)

Alex and Izzie have been circling each other for years, and I very much enjoy that on again off again feel to them. In my mind, they are meant for each other, maybe not forever but there will always be a part of them that belongs to the other. In a way, they are inevitable.

I'm very dialogue heavy, traditionally, so this was a nice change of pace for me. I'm just relieved that it worked the I wanted it to.

Thank you for reading and reviewing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This was so beautiful. And perfect. A lot different from what the Grey's writers are giving us but in my opinion much more in character for Alex and Izz. No matter what they do, I know that those two are meant for each other.

I love that it's from Izz POW, you know how I adore when you write Alex but this was a perfect Izzie. ♥♥♥

thank you so much for writing this, makes me feel a bit better about that ep. *hugs*

The Grey's writers don't seem to know what they're doing? Or maybe they do and I just haven't figured it out yet. Regardless, this is my canon Alex and Izzie, and I'm sticking to it.

I think if this would've been from Alex's POV it would've been a different story entirely, not to mention it would've certainly lost something in translation. This was the only way to go for me.

I'm glad you liked this hun! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! It's nice that it made you feel a little better about it :)

Hi- found your fic on ga_fanfic, I'm new to Grey's fandom. Anyway, just wanted to tell you that I thought this was beautiful. I'm a big fan of Alex, and I am really intrigued by his and Izzie's relationship. Anyway, I love how this fic really seems to get inside their heads. After the latest episode, I do think that their future is going to be...tricky, for lack of a better word, but I also don't think that they're done with each other yet.

Anyway, I loved this - it's melancholy but really seems to fit with what this last episode gave us. Great work!

Well welcome to the fandom! Occasionally it's a nice place to be (I'm jaded and have been around way too long).

Alex is my favorite and probably my most written character, so it's always nice to hear that I have a good grasp of him. Their future well definitely be tricky, and not necessarily the way we all hoped it would be, but yeah, I doubt it's over. Not yet.

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

Oh, I love this! So bittersweet and sad and beautiful. After the episode, I really needed something cathartic like this. I'm still holding out hope for Alex and Izzie; those two are so clearly meant to be together. Great writing as usual. Thanks for sharing!

[slybrunette]

Everyone keeps saying cathartic, so I guess I posted this at a good time. I'm still holding out hope as well, believe me.

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

I actually read this last night but was too tired to comment then.

I think this is probably my favorite fic you've ever wrote.
Izzie's sense of loss here is so uniquely characteristic and you capture it perfectly. Also, I'm a sucker for angst and heartbreak. Bravo!

♥

[slybrunette]

Well I'm glad you came back :) I love the angst as well; it's fun to write.

I'm happy you enjoyed this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
