MerDerAddicted 2008-07-20 ch 1,	abuseThis was really good you captured drunk Derek so well.
mcdreamluva 2008-06-05 ch 1, anon.	abuseI loved this! Loved and hated drunk Derek all at the same time. Loved that they actually communicated, and that they admit that they are both to blame. Their "I love you's", so sweet.
littlemissliketofight 2008-05-18 ch 1,	abuseloving this so much! It really captures the atmosphere of their situation and it's so sad...
starvingstudent 2008-04-18 ch 1,	abuseWow! I don't know how I missed this when you posted it, but I just found it. I love the idea; having them 'starting again' with the drunk and the sex and the living room... Having Meredith realize he's a coward and doesn't have it all together was perfect, and if that could only happen on the show they may actually find a way to have a relationship that lasts more than a few episodes at a time. And Derek so sad because it was his birthday, and there was only one thing he wanted... And Meredith being able to say those three important words sober. And this: “Please, don't hurt me again,” she begs. He blinks. “Please, don't shut me out.” This is all of their problems in two lines... lol. Exactly what they need to say. This was an absolutely freaking awesome story. And I hope you use the door you left open and continue it. I'd love to see you really get them back on track after all that has happened on the show. Oh, and 'A five letter word for pinnacle or whatever.' ...(zenith) six letter word, and the only reason I caught that was because when I saw the epi, I thought how does some someone actually know that so quickly?.
oncetherewasaway 2008-04-03 ch 1, anon.	abuseAbsolutely wonderful ... I found myself continually holding my breath while reading. Sad ...realistic ... a sad pitiful drunk Derek, all very vivid. I gasped here reading Derek's admission: Realizing his emotions and hearing him vocalize them are two different things. She cannot help but feel slighted. It stings. “Oh?” she retorts, unable to stop herself. “And how do I make you feel, Derek. Please, tell me how I make you feel.” “Like the loneliest person on the fucking planet,” he answers. They are two of the loneliest people around... and you have captured the angst and tenderness and fear both may be feeling. Thank you bunches... hope for continuance :)
Marie5282 2008-03-26 ch 1,	abuseI loved it! Sometimes, seriously, I wish the authors here could write for Shonda instead of all the craziness she seems to come up with on the show. Where things are just right and fit. Fabulous!
McDreamy's Mimi 2008-03-15 ch 1,	abuseLoved it! I love everything you write!
Kilikina1 2008-03-13 ch 1,	abusethat was so so so good, and amazingly intense. I would love to see it continued!
mlalderm 2008-03-11 ch 1,	abuseof course, i loved it. you have an AMAZING way with these characters. i definitely would not be opposed to you continuing this fic :)
Liz86000 2008-03-06 ch 1,	abuseWow... that was great!! If only, right? If only they did that on the show... Great, great fic!
spydrga 2008-03-04 ch 1,	abuseIn wine, truth (had to look that up!) So true. So you did post it here. I read this on your livejournal, but now that it is here also, I am going to have to slowly devour it again. Thank you for writing this (yada, yada, again, for what I said on your livejournal site) I could hug you! (rather hug Derek...if only he didn't belong the Mer)
my1anjel 2008-03-03 ch 1,	abuseOh my gosh! That was so freakin great! I love how gritty it was and dark and alot more things that I can't even find the words to say at the moment. But it was great. I loved how they went from love to hate to love in one evening. sigh this should be more than an one-shot sigh
McDreamyReally 2008-03-03 ch 1,	abuseFirst of all...I absolutely loved it! Which isn't really surprising because I think there isn't anything you could write that I wouldn't love, but still...I'm saying it again: I LOVED LOVED LOVED it! I'm sorry that you're not enjoying writing for LST at the moment. I totally get how you feel, and though I would love to read an update I prefer that you write the update when you feel like it and when you enjoy writing it; otherwise it would just make me (and I'm sure a lot of other readers) feel bad. I'm so grateful that you wrote this one-shot (or possibly start for another fic). Shonda's Derek has been so frustrating lately that it's very refreshing to see the actual potential of his character, which itself isn't very surprising either (because that's also something you always do in your updates), but since this is a post 4.11 story, it gives me a tiny little bit of hope that something like this will happen on the show - eventually (although I doubt that the authors of Grey's would actually be able to treat Mer/Der the way you do it respectively how they deserve it). Well, basically the concept you used is very easy (which isn't at all supposed to mean that anyone would have been able to write it better than you did). You made them talk. You made them bring things out into the open. You let them be themselves, be loyal to themselves. So, as I said, the concept is easy. Now what I don't understand is why it seems to be such a hard task for the Grey's writers to do it a little bit like you. Like a lot of other people I've been wondering if Mer and Derek still belong together. I was wondering if Derek still deserved her, which is, and I'm aware of that, a very 2D thing to think, but since the Derek Shonda has given to us is 2D, I don't think that it's wrong of me to think that way. But when I read your story I wanted him to be with her again. I wanted him to be with her because I really FELT that they belong together. For the first time in months I felt that there's something between them that is worth fighting for. I felt like they wanted to fight for it instead of taking an easy way out. I love Mer and I'm insanely mad at Shonda's Derek, and though I've thought about him a lot by myself I think that you've managed to portray him in such a good way, like who he really is, with all his thoughts and needs and desires and shades, that I felt he deserved to be with Mer for the first time since all that crap on the show happened. I've been trying to find excuses for why he's doing things (to mentally allow them to be with her again), but yeah...only now is it that I think I can start to like him again. As I said, seeing Derek as an ass is an easy way out, but Shonda doesn't seem to ask us for something else. You do...which leads me to my next point... I so love that you love the characters so much. Well, at least I'm assuming that you love them very much because otherwise you wouldn't spend so much time on writing about them. Anyway, I love that you take your time with them. I love that you want to make us readers appreciate and like them and show us different traits of them that we (the readers of your story) might not have disovered yet. There we go again with the discrepance between the potential and what Shonda gives us. Have I mentioned that the writing was brilliant? Well, if I haven't mentioned it...Your writing was brilliant!
dmdell119 2008-03-02 ch 1,	abuseSo good I can't breathe. Just when I think I am breaking up with Shonda's MerDer, you write the perfect thing and I love them again. If things go completely to hell on GA, (as I already think they will)...please keep on with this...even though it is a one-shot...I need something to live for after LST is over! : )
Gideon Harker 2008-03-02 ch 1,	abuseIt would've never occurred to me that I would love a story that contains the words "Derek Shepherd is a coward" so many times. But I not only do love it, I can't get enough. It touches me really deeply and I just want to keep reading. It's one of those stories that makes me feel all kinds of emotions and that I can't stop thinking about. It made me fall in love with Grey's all over again. And wish that you would be on the writing staff. PD and EP would be awesome acting this out. I really wish I'd be more eloquent and able to tell just how great this story is. And the fact that you love Derek's character makes it even better. (Can't really explain why. Maybe because you portrait him as a deeply flawed character, but you don't make it sound derogatory.) This story gives me hope that Mer/Der could be fixed and that they indeed do love each other. Thanks.
