Damn it. Why did the mothers have to come? Addison was acknowledging their existence. Lol. I was SO excited to see a new chapter in a completely insane, flailing fangirl way, and you of course, did not disappoint. It's still heartbreaking and makes me want to cry, but there's more trying and Mark with all of his girls is just adorable. I haven't read a Grey's fic in a very long time, but of course I had to read this.

I'm glad you're still around, I've been writing this thing for so long!

Thank you, thank you!

Thank you! I was so waiting for this.
It was such an hearbreaking chapter, painful to read, but beautiful. I so want Addie to finally feel a connection with Charlotte and Audrey and I really hope that will happen next chapter.
It's been three mothns since the last update and I don't think I can wait another 3 months for the next one...so please...update soon!!! Since you already have something done (the things you cut from this chapter) it won't be long, right?
Thanks again,
Irene

I agree, 3 months is a terribly long time. And I kept thinking, "Irene is going to kill you." No kidding. But yes, a large portion of the next chapter is already written so now it's just piecing it together and adding.
And Addison's journey will continue to be slow, but she'll get there and be fantastic.
Glad you liked what was there, thank you!

OMG.Killing you? Am I that bad?!? I know I can be really annoying,sorry! It's just that I am addicted to this story and it's your fault too:you're too good at writing it.
Could you tell me when you think next chapter will be ready? The wait will be much better that way.

[xyliette]

Oh, no, not in the bad way. In fact, it's what keeps me trucking half the time.

Soonish? I've made myself sit down every night and write something, so that's an improvement. :)

[escapismrocks]

You're alive!

Oh how I love this. I particularly like the devil. I expect that shall be interesting. Oh and the communication with Mark was lovely. I also love that Kennedy likes chaos - who doesn't?

On another note, I'm semi-pleased the actual show is not sapping just my inspiration. Also, I don't think story should ever ever end.

I love it too much.

(This comment was originally a lot longer and a lot gushier - but its just a lot simpler to say that I heart this story.)

[xyliette]

I'm just pleased you're still around in this land, cause heaven knows I need you. Really, you should have seem the mess that was this chapter. I've never moved more or cut more in my life. I wanted it all jazzy and happy, but that's not this story so eh, what can I do.

The devil! Seems fitting. It'll be soul wrecking fun, promise.

Keep on hearting this, one of us has to. Thanks. :)

oh no, the mothers. that cannot be good.

i loved this line/sentence: Addison voted that her medication wasn't working. Addison decided she'd stop taking it cold turkey. Addison is an idiot.
especially the last part...

[xyliette]

It'll be good...and bad. Guess you can figure out which one brings what with them.

And yes! One of my favorites too. The woman is just silly, but apparently I have no control, so I just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Thank you!

I got so involved in Addison's feelings in this update, I almost forgot to feel bad for Mark ;) There's so much awesome writing here that it's too hard to pick something out. But I was reminded, again, how much of a real, living world you've created for these characters and how incredibly well you've done it. I love this story massive amounts.

And re: your A/N. For me, not just Addison and the cat, but Addison+Cat+Sam+Can of catfood! Best thing I've seen on PrP in forever!

ETA: oops, wrong place!

[xyliette]

I kind of got to the end of this chapter and went, huh, where's Mark?. But it was her journey this time, I suppose.

Thank you for your lovely words, they certainly redeem the struggling I've had with this story lately. :)

Really just Addison + Sam, I love them, makes me want a new friend. Kitty is cool thought too. I hope he gets to pop up more often, I'm a sucker for lonely/miserable!Addison.

Exhausting!

[cacooly]

Can I say- this story exhausts me, but I can't stop reading!!!! It sucks the life out of me, and yet everytime there is a new chapter, I brace myself and dive in!!!!

What can i say- you are too good! But to balance things out, can we at least ge some happy Addison, with maybe Alex, or any other guy...with babies, dogs, happy, happy, happy!

Re: Exhausting!

[xyliette]

I think you'll be getting some fake "happy" Addison while her mother is around. But it still really lightens the mood. Glad you're still diving in! :)

Thank you.
