Oh...Oh!

I loved this. I loved this so very much, I don't even know what to say right now. We know nothing about Amber Karev (save that she's a 'good kid', per Aaron), but this is such, SUCH a seventeen-year-old-girl-who-idolizes-the-big-brother-slash-father-figure-who-left-(forthesecondtime) reaction, and, and...I want more of the Alex/Amber 'verse. That's all I have to say.

Thank you! I'm so glad you think it represents what I was hoping it would represent... an angry, scared, confused seventeen year old who understands why her brother left, but not necessarily why he left her.

I want more of the Alex/Amber 'verse, too! Feel free to add to it... :)

Ooh, a challenge!

p'raps ;)

I totally agree with the comment above. We don't know shit about Amber, but your portrait of her fits perfectly with all the issues she probably has. The way Aaron mentioned her sounds like that, she is like Alex, smart and confused and angry and of course the moment she finds out about the shooting she finally has the push to go all the way to Seattle to meet this person that's everything to her and she barely remembers him (save for the tid bit at the beginning, that was beautiful!).

How she looked for his name in google and facebook, how she keeps *hoping* to find a connection to him, to wonder if he ever thinks of her, it's a little (a lot) heartbreaking, and damn it, I want it on the show!!! She's 17! It's too easy to create a storyline having her showing up at the hospital!! I want it so baaaaad! So thank you for writing, cus fics are the next best thing (and sometimes better!) :D

waltzmatildah May 31 2010, 03:27:08 UTC

she is like Alex, smart and confused and angry
Yeah, that is what I inferred from Aaron's comment also... glad it wasn't just me taking a giant leap!

I want it on the show!!!
ME TOO!! Though not in a medical sense... I don't want her there to be treated, it would be way too contrived as that's why we saw Aaron. I really just want her to 'turn up'. Maybe have her run away from home or something... or simply decide to go searching for what she's missing...

Anyway, THANK YOU! So glad you liked my interpretation of her.

javiera May 31 2010, 04:15:35 UTC

I don't want a medical excuse either! Aaron said he was trying to convince her to go to college, why can't she make an excuse about "touring for colleges" and show up in Seattle? Hell, finding out about the shooting is reason enough! That's one of the things that came to mind quickly enough after the season finale, and you made it real!

I kind of crave for dialogue now, because if she's like Alex, man, that's one hell of a tough personality to deal with. So I hope you write her again soon enough. Considering it took six seasons to met Aaron, we will need a lot of fics while we wait to meet Amber :P

waltzmatildah May 31 2010, 09:30:05 UTC

Eeep. I SUCK at dialogue. So if (when) more Amber appears I can't guarantee there will be dialogue, or, if there is, that it will be any good! You may wanna take that back!!

brilliant

Thank you! So glad you liked it.

Aw, wow. Just gorgeous. Seriously, the tone and the sleepy, dreamy, dusty quality to it (those probably aren't good words but they're the only ones that feel half-right) is just glorious. Loved it.

waltzmatildah May 31 2010, 03:28:55 UTC

Thank you. And I do love your adjectives, by the way!!! (Expecially 'dusty'... love, love that word to describe things.)

Re: Gahhhh &hearts; ! waltzmatildah May 31 2010, 03:31:46 UTC

So glad that you thought I got Amber as close to right as is possible when we know so little about her... it's been a while since I was a seventeen year old... and Alex Karev was never my big brother (fortunately, because that would make the thoughts I have about him HIGHLY inappropriate) so I was really conscious of getting her 'voice' right.

I really hope they bring her into the show at some point, but if not... I'll probably keep writing about her anyway!

THANK YOU!!!

I seem to suck too much to do my own anymore

Hmm, I smell CRAP! Your writing does not suck, that I can guarantee.

Sorry for making you spit water on your screen! But, kinda not sorry too because.... heeeeeeeeeeeee!

Also? YOUR ICON??? Where did you get it???! This one *points to own* is the closest I have...
