Comments

I love everything this chooses to be. This is painful, and raw, and that's what makes me love it so much.

[slybrunette]

Aw thanks babe! I'm glad you liked it!

[rorylie]

This just made me sob like, a complete, full on ugly cry. Thank god no one is awake in my house.

It's beautiful, and it's heartbreaking and it's really, really powerful.

I feel like I should be giving some better comment than this but all I can really say is thank you, which is wholly inadequate.

[slybrunette]

Aw, I didn't mean to make you cry :( Although, I guess I might have. This was supposed to have a happy ending but then I slept on it and was like, no, she's not staying in Seattle.

Thank you is nowhere near wholly inadequate. In fact, it's some of the best feedback ever. I'm just really happy to hear that you enjoyed it and that you felt that it was powerful, to some degree or another. Thank you so much for giving me the excuse to write these two :)

[slybrunette]

Aw thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Can't, even, begin, to describe how much I love this.

I've always enjoyed your writing very much, particularly your Alex/Lexie, because you're one of the very few people who can make me enjoy and relate to Lexie. And this story in particular, coincidentally, kinda has a connection with where I am in my life right now, which makes it especially moving and powerful. The whole last section almost brought me to tears, and I loved every bit of it.

Thank you so much for writing and sharing this. I enjoyed it very very much!

[slybrunette]

I'm really oddly glad that you mentioned that it had some connection to where you are in your life. Not glad in the sense that I'm glad it is happening (in fact I'm sorry that you are in a place where you do connect to it) but because I wasn't sure that it would play as realistic. This is not a place I've ever been and so I wasn't drawing from experience and was therefore a little nervous. You just lessened that a whole lot and for that I thank you sincerely.

Also, thank for your kind words. I'm glad that you enjoyed this!

This is so, so late, but whatever. Better late than never. I think I've read this a few times now, and with each and every read-through I pick up on these little details and lines that make me literally fall in love with your writing. I've always enjoyed your work, but this. THIS makes me fangirl you so freakin' bad it's ridiculous. I always thought I had a good handle on Lexie, but you really manages to put anything I've ever written to shame (and I don't mean to come off as anything but in absolute awe right here, I hope you realize). You have such a beautiful way with words Steph, it's just... breathtaking.

I hope you never stop writing. Ever. Because you honestly just became another writer I will undoubtedly follow for ages.

Thanks for this.

I am blushing like crazy right now. Seriously. You are one of the few people who I feel really gets Lexie, so this kind of feedback is what dreams are made of. This fic came together really quickly and I was sort of proud when all was said and done because I felt like I told the story I wanted to. Which is rare, for me, these days. It's always going to be a very special one for me and I'm glad that it caught your attention as well.

But, really, you're so beyond sweet and I'm so very thrilled to hear that you enjoyed this as much as you did. Thanks so much sweetie!
