I know that it’s been a while since you wrote this and that you probably won’t read my review, but I have to say thank you. There aren’t many fics that really focuses on Meredith and Lexie’s relationship and what you have done is beautiful and you did what the creator couldn’t do. I always hated the fact that Lexie’s death wasn’t given much importance (like Geroge’s or even Mark’s) and by giving importance to the Meredith’s relationship to Lexie, you have given the importance that Lexie deserved. She was underrated and I always connected to her (when she said that she’s always left behind to Jackson, I felt that) and the show never gave me the closure I needed to let go of that character. You did, and it might sound crazy you know, being so attached to a character that I mourned her death, but thank you for writing this story. It is everything to me so thank you.

I just started reading this and I am absolutely stunned at how realistic your writing is and how well you are portraying these characters. I hate it when I read a story that the characters say things that I know they wouldn’t in the show. I’m just loving everything about this story and I can’t wait to read all of it! I miss Lexie and Mark!

Hey, I dont know if you still read the reviews since it been a long time but i hope you will. Lexie has always been my person and Chyler is the reason i start watching Grey's.
It took me a long time to read your fanfic since English isn't my first language but im so happy I did. Your writting is amazing and i bet its just getting better. this story made me cry, laugh, smile (and miss Lexie so much) and although im not the biggest Meredith or Merder fan i enjoyed reading this so much.
I love how you know your characters. I never felt like you changed one of them and I can very much hear and see them speak and act with the plot.
On more thing that i love so much is how you made Lexie this big character and rememberd all this littel notes (appels, strees eating) that the show never used. And that you allow anyone to mourn over Lexie (incloding Alex, Cristina and Jackson that were also a big part of her life) i feel like thats something that the show never did, that's why i hate her death, i feel like we never saw how it appect people and she never got a big epsoide (unlike Gorege, Mark and Derek).
One of my favorit lines is "you stooped bying appels" from the last chapter i thought it was so beutiful.
(Also when i read the last few lines Chasing Cars start playing from my playlist and let me tell you- i cried)

I’ve been avoiding stories about Lexie’s death. That was one TV storyline I couldn’t process. I got too attached to a fictional character. When they killed her off I stopped watching.

Yet the last few months I decided to finally rewatch the seasons of Greys with Lexie. Meredith and Lexie’s sister relationship was one of the best most complicated under played relationships in TV history if you ask me... This story was amazing. Your writing is amazing.. and it brought me some peace in a weird time in the world.

Thank you

Absolutely beautiful story. Thank you for investing your heart and time.

I just finished the entire story, and I absolutely loved it. You did such a wonderful job on the plot and you stayed true to the characters. My favorite scene between Meredith was on the rock when they were camping. I also loved how you resolved the issues between Meredith and Derek. The celebration at the end, and the final conversation with Mark were lovely.

I've never cried so much after reading a story. You had me tearing up after each and every chapter. This is exactly what I wished we had gotten to see in the show. It's something the show always glosses over. The losses. They never end up shaping the character. More of an afterthought mentioned when convenient to the story.

After watching Chyler in Supergirl and seeing her playing the protective big sister I wanted to see that with Lexie and Meredith. Thank you for giving us this masterpiece.

OOF my heart! You really know how to make someone cry their eyes out at 2 in the morning! But anyways this was an amazing story that I was glad to have read :)

please write another story like this! It was freaking incredible

That was beautiful. Thank you sooo much. I actually gave up on Grey's Anatomy in season 3. Then I watched supergirl and everyone kept saying that Chyler Leigh was Lexie and would always be Lexie and I wondered if she was as good on GA as everyone said, so I watched season 4-8 in 2-3 weeks. And I must say, Chyler Leigh doesnt disappoint. Intellectually, I knew Lexie was going to die. But that didn't stop me from getting attached to her. And ofcourse, when plotlines don't work or make me happy, I turn to Fanfiction(it took me a while to remember that ao3 wasnt as big or didnt exist when Lexie died). I read your work in 2 straight days. And This is one of the best fics I've ever read. It is heartbreaking. And you've made me cry in almost every chapter and I'm not saying just tears leaking from my eyes but LOUD ugly bawling.

Thank you so much for writing this story. And I am exceedingly grateful that you stuck with it for 5 years.

I would like to say thank you for this amazing story that you wrote. The final chapter was really bittersweet. Meredith is finally accepting that even if her sister is dead, in some kind of way, Lexie will never fade away from her -nor in her memory nor in her heart. It's like Meredith came at the final step of the circle of grief. It's make me happy and sad because it is like in real life.
As for the question if I still miss Lexie well it's a big YES and if it's possible your story make me missing her even more (I quickly, shamelessly rise my hand with you).
This story overall was beautiful, heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time and few things in life can be both.
I have difficulties to point out my favorites chapters but I can tell you some like chapter 17 (Memories of Lexie's birthday at Meredith's house), chapter 25 (baseball game), chapters 30-31 (Meredith help to commit Lexie in the psych unit), the camping flashbacks, the chapter where Meredith say she and her people can become Lexie's people as well, the therapy sessions specially the one Meredith telling the plane crash. Like I said I love this story.
You added depth on Alex's character coping with Lexie's death and Izzie's departure which was great (I like the gruffy part of him in this story, it's make me chuckle). You had Cristina on point which is not great... it's awesome ! Your Derek is very endearing and show emotions and flaws. I like your Mark too -broken but beginnig to find his balance towards the end.
But the most important you made love Meredith and I mean love like my love for Lexie. On the show, I am always in between with my feelings on Meredith. Here, you let her admit aloud that she can be a mess, that she has not been the greatest big sister etc... in short she is human here not like an untouchable "woe is me" like they can picture sometimes on the show. You let her go with the flow if I can say. And Lexie is ... not great,... not awesome... but excellent at every corner.

I would like to say that you are Mrs or Miss InternThree (or Mister !) a super writer gifted with talent and thank you again. I will probably send you private messages too if I can and if I didn't bother you.
I am still waiting for Holly Jolly Christmas chapters to come ;)

And finally, sorry if my english is sometimes incorrect because I am not a native.

oooh I couldn't stop crying! what an amazing way to finish the story! this broke my heart and fixed it at the same time xx

I read the first 55 chapters over the course of three nights. I legitimately stayed up way too late reading each night haha, and I've been eagerly awaiting the last chapter. It didn't disappoint! I seriously consider this fic as canon because you capture the amazing potential of Lexie and Meredith's relationship that I think the show didn't fully realize and missed out on. You also capture both of their voices perfectly-it's all so in character. This fic represents all of what I hoped their relationship would be on the show so I'm just going to blissfully pretend it's canon. It's beautifully written so congrats on finishing your fic, and I look forward to reading your other work! And if you ever write a Supergirl fic involving Alex, I will be the first in line to read it ;)

OMG just perfect!

Still drinking my wine and crying my eyes out! What a beautiful story with a very touching ending. You certainly captured my heart. Thank you for this gift.
Sure wish you would continue Holly a Jolly Christmas. I no longer can watch Greys anymore-Shonda killed it for me whe she killed Derek. Hope to read more from you- you are a very gifted and talented writer.
