GUUUUUUHHH akldjalskdjalskjd. This is so exactly what I needed right now <333

Simply put, an amazing post-ep. Did them the kind of justice they needed to be done. That ending? Oh, lawdy, it nearly killed me. Oh, ~Lexie...

Really, beautiful. I freakin' love you.

There’s no thought process that takes her from staring straight ahead at her sister to enveloping her in a hug. It just happens. Her arms go around Meredith’s shoulders and she somehow manages to remember to keep her hot coffee upright and steady. Meredith’s arms hang loosely at her sides, surprised, but they find their way to rest high on Lexie’s back.

It’s not the first time they’ve hugged, but it is the first time that she’s felt the warm feeling of solidarity. The kind of feeling you usually get from family.

There might or might not have been flaily arms going on here.

That part you just quoted? Written with you in mind. (Because, yeah, any time Meredith and Lexie even interact I think of you)

I'm so freaking glad that you liked this sweetie! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

I KNEW when I read it that that part would make you flail!!! Totally had a grin to myself and thought of you!

Awesome. Very in character. I haven't thought Lexie's photogaphic mmory and how painful or maybe impossible will be for her to forget some of that stuff. Loved the pace, entangling the informationcoming to her, Cristina, learning about Derek, Owen and the others - lovely detail about the security guard - and talking to Teddy and Mark to Alex slowly getting "better" and talking to her.

I don't know, I think I could shipper Lexie/Alex...

I know the pain of photographic memory and, at least with me, there is some shit that just doesn't go. Usually it's words, for me, stuff I read, but I think it can be images otherwise as well.

I really didn't want this to just be Alex/Lexie, you know? I wanted it to be the next 12 hours or so of Lexie's life, and that includes all that stuff you mentioned, that slow crawl of information.

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

Oh, really? That must be terrible sometimes. I really enjoyed it. Lexie was never a favorite, but this season she's grown on me.

Thanks for sharing!

slybrunette May 22 2010, 03:06:57 UTC

Actually, it's mostly helpful. I test very well when it's on the reading we did or whatever.

waltzmatildah May 21 2010, 22:44:27 UTC

Oh, this is beautiful. A perfect way to close things off until it happens for real in September.

(though don't think that doesn't mean I won't try another version of it myself! haha. I feel like I'm positively DROWNING in fic ideas!)

I especially love this...

In a few short hours, that move to cover his with hers has become subconscious, far less deliberate than it was.

Great start to the inevitable fic onslaught. Great start!

slybrunette May 22 2010, 02:20:14 UTC

Oh, please, try away. I seriously encourage you to write as much as humanely possible. Because I want to read. A lot.

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

The finale was what dreams are made of, am I right? (Okay, it was also the stuff of my fucking nightmares, but whatever).

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this!

abvj May 22 2010, 02:06:21 UTC

Oh, my. I'm at work and just read this on my tiny phone screen and don't have much to say except I'm pretty sure this is exactly how the next 24 hours of Lexie's life went.

I wish I had my fic-writing gene back because I really, really, REALLY want to write now.

slybrunette May 22 2010, 02:30:04 UTC

Oh god, I've so done that. It's not fun. It's less fun trying to comment, so I certainly BEYOND appreciate the effort on this one.

It's funny you say that, because when I scribbled notes down in my notebook last night before I went to bed (because, yes, I finished this at 1AM but I had to cut/rewrite/edit everything as well) I wrote down 'the first 24 hours' so, yeah, on the nose much?

I want your fic writing gene to come back too! Your stuff makes my day instantly better. Here's to your fic-writing gene making a swift reappearance!
