Awesome, elegant writing.

I love Mark and Derek's friendship - there's so much potential for exploration there; it would be nice if we could see some on the show - and you captured their dynamic beautifully. I also really liked your characterization of Mark here. As labil said, you found a balance between Mark as he has been for most of his adult life and the changes brought about with Lexie in a way that felt very real. Lovely work.
