Fic - we're gonna turn this thing around (Lexie/Mark) pg-13, 1/1

[abvj]

Title: we're gonna turn this thing around
Summary: Their story doesn’t end in the woods with tears and death and promises that come too late. Or, basically, a giant screw you to Shonda. These two deserved better, damn it.
Rating: pg-13
Author's Notes: 3,703 words. Plays fast and loose with canon after the season seven finale, but I don't really

I HATE SR SO MUCH FOR WHAT THEY DID TO THEM.

That was SO beautiful! I had the biggest lump in my throat while reading this, it was once again so beautiful. Ugh reading stories like this make me upset just for the sole purpose of Shonda Rimes really messing up Mark and Lexie's storyline. She didn't have to kill them off, exactly how you wrote them re-locating to Mexico and Mark working out a schedule with Callie and Arizona about Sofia is how it could have been portrayed on the show but she doesn't care about them. Not the way everyone on LJ does. For me, this is how they're lives and ended and begun!!!

Writing stories like this make me so upset when I remember what happened to them. At least in fic we can give them the happy ending they deserved.

This is definitely the version of them I'd like to think of. Thank you so much for reading!!

oh, man.

This is beautiful, and poignant, and so much more than I even knew and hoped it would be when you first started talking about it, and it's exactly the resolution that I needed for them. Permanent headcanon status from here on out (sorry Shonda, you got it wrong, this is actually what happened). Your imagery has always been something that I love, and the images you've painted here really hit me. Especially their wedding - crystal clear.

ugh, I love everything about this. <3 <3 <3 Thank you for writing it like only you could!

[abvj]

THANK YOU! <3 This is definitely how the ended up in my head. I just, ugh. I thought I was done writing these two but apparently not. I forget sometimes how much I love them.

Oh, this is all kinds of lovely and awesome and wonderful. *hearts*

[abvj]

Thank you! <3

you could have stabbed me in the heart and this would have hurt less oh my god

(that is to say this is great, awesome job and I will never be over their deaths)

[abvj]

I WILL NEVER BE OVER IT EITHER! And I stopped watching long before SR completely destroyed them - only came back for the episode where Lexie died and realized I made the right choice.

Thank you for reading. I appreciate it!
