i never asked to be nobody's nothing
spoilers for all of season 6; my way of making sense of mark and lexie's breakup, plus lexie and alex's reoccurring "meetings". It turned into something much different than I expected, but I'm rather pleased with it. Raw and un-beta'd. rated r for adult situations. lexie/mark; lexie/alex.

*hugs* Thank you!
I feel like when Lexie lost Mark, she lost her best friend. I mean, really, she doesn't have any friends (Meredith maybe but not really...) so I just think everything she's doing can be explained as a way for her to connect to someone else. Much as I never expected to grow to semi-like Lexie/Alex, I just find her need to connect with anyone else heartbreaking. I don't think Mark realizes how alone she is and what this causes her to do.
I'm so happy you liked it!

Thanks! I don't think I'm very good at writing "happy" fic. I feel much more comfortable with angst, lol.

Oh, Lexie and Alex: it is a bit more than just physical, the two of them turning to each other. The moment when Mark was about to compliment Lexie's hair almost killed me, and if this fic would have gone on another twenty pages, I would have devoured every single word. It's highly addictive.

Ugh, I know...I hate that I love Lexie/Alex, I really do, because I'm such a huge Lexie/Mark fan. But I love broken Lexie and broken Alex together....I can't help it!
Thank you so much for your kind review! ♥

Ok so I really really really hate Lexie/Alex. Like REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE THEM. I just want to emphasize that...hahaha. THAT being said. I loved this fiction. I just wanted to make sure it was clear how much I hate them, so that I could then turn around and compliment your writing. I was so hesitant to even read this fic because I'm a big baby and I love Lexie and Mark so much together...minus how the writers screwed them up this season. As I mentioned when commenting on your other fic, I'm obsessed with season 5 Lexie and Mark. Anyway back to this fic, when reading this it, my heart was breaking for Lexie. The angst in this is so just...wow. And I love how you wrote Alex. I love how you started their "relationship" as nothing more than two people using each other and then developed it from there. And the fact that you were able to do that all in a one-shot. Again wow ( ... )

Haha, I feel your Lexie/Alex pain, truly I do. I'm very much a hardcore Lexie/Mark shipper, but in my attempt to make sense of the Lexie/Alex dynamic, this happened.
I'm especially glad you liked this since you can't stand Lexie/Alex.
