Okay so that chapter def. rocked. I love the conversation between Mark and Izzie at the bar. It was so cute, the way Izzie just said what she felt. And the kiss, AMEN finally a little action lol. Addison only wishes that she was the person kissing Sloan then. I can't wait to see what happens as a result of that little encounter at the party!

Thank you so much, Mallory!

This chapter gave me fits. I wrote it and at first it was complete crap...different start and ending, and the compostition of it was just doo doo. So, I had to tweak it a lot and it finally came out in a way that made myself, Mark, and Izzie very happy.

I've started work on chapter 4. Honestly, it's going in a direction that I wasn't expecting. I hope you'll like it!

Thank you for the positivity!

How weird; I was just thinking of this fic, and when I came to see if you'd updated, you had. =] This left me speechless, a total wow. The whole chapter is worthy of being italicalised, but, fearing that this comment will have to be split into multiple ones, I hope this review makes sense. :)

She had told him that she didn’t need him anymore. She’d found someone new that she could rely on . . . herself. She had basically told him that he was a cancer inside of her, killing away all of her healthy, living cells and so, she had gone through a round of emotional chemotherapy killing the life threatening disease: her relationship with him. He was out of her system for good.

This killed me. I'm a small Mark/Addison shipper, but this really set the conclusion of their relationship. I think this really set the tone towards the Mark/Addison relationship in this fic, and that it's kind of pushed Addison out of the way for a definite place for Izzie to fill. I love how you described it.

He had thrown every item of mail away that he deemed ( ... )

So, um, wow...your review/analysis left me speechless! Thank you so much for taking the time to go indepth and share your opinions on the latest chapter!

First of all, I am SO happy that you liked this chapter. It means a lot to me! I have a feeling that you are one of discriminating tastes and if this gets your seal of approval, I feel like I've accomplished something!

Now on to your comments:

The "cancer" metaphor: Yeah, so in my world, that is exactly what Mark is or will become to Addison, especially when she wants to explore things with Alex (which I really think will happen soon!) When this does happen, it's going to leave him out in the cold, literally, with no one. . .he'll be more vulnerable than ever. So, I am trying as hard as I can to capture that into my fic w/o making Mark seem like a loser and a lost cause.

I also thought Izzie would be jealous of the Alex/Addison interaction, but, surprise-surprise, she wasn't. Poor Mark, though. ;/Now, as far as Izzie/Alex goes, I really think that right now, they are dunzo. Alex ( ... )

Oh my sweet Jesus in heaven, I LOVE this more and more with each chapter! I'm not sure I can put it in words, but I shall try.

First off, the image of George/Callie and Burke/Cristina was priceless and had me LMFAO. I'm glad Izzie was the one to throw the party and that you aren't making her all bitchy like she is in the show, even though she does disapprove of George's marriage.

And, of course, loved the Alex/Addison hints. Loved that Mark was jealous, but Izzie wasn't. To me, that is very, very realistic.

The convo at the bar was hilariously perfect. Every response was spot on in character. I could hear these two saying these things to each other, even when the discussion turned a little serious there. And the kiss! Lovely.

But now you've got me craving margaritas! Next time I have one, I'll be thinking of Mark and Izzie. ;) Excellent job, update soon!

Thank you so much!!! You really have no idea how your words of praise are making me feel right now!

First off, the image of George/Callie and Burke/Cristina was priceless and had me LMFAO. I'm glad Izzie was the one to throw the party and that you aren't making her all bitchy like she is in the show, even though she does disapprove of George's marriage.

LOL...I have to say that a friend of my suggested the Yang/Burke lap dance! I thought it was pure genius and had to use it! My whole goal w/ the PDA of the O'Malley's and Yang/Burke was to set the tone of just what kind of party this was!

And your comment on Izzie as the hostess . . . yeah, she can't stand Callie, but she loves George and that is the reason she threw the party: to celebrate his (and only his) happiness of the marriage. And of course for Yang/Burke, she likes them. And I'm with you about her bitchiness on the show...to me it's just not Izzie!

Loved that Mark was jealous, but Izzie wasn't. To me, that is very, very realistic.You hit the freaking nail on the head, ( ... )
