So, so good. I loved it!

This is kind of insanely awesome and brilliant - just so you know!

This is a great story. I love when writers take something small that we learn and give it a back story. #5 cracked me up. :)

I loved this. This is basically how I've always pictured Addison's sexual history to be like (sans the piano teacher thing but I do quite like that idea) so I'm glad someone's put it into words ;)

Montgomery backstory with Savvy and Maddek? YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE x)

(Though the recent high-school and back-of-parents'-Mercedes talk on PP suggest otherwise, I like your version of the timing better XP)

I WANNA SEE MORE OF ARCHER ON PP. I miss him so much. (Oh and you know, seeing him making a certain someone pay too would be nice as well.) And why does your bb!Addie always break my heart? D: Horrendous. I can totally see it having happened though (fine, admittedly I was sitting on the verge of my chair when Addie paused one second too long after Charlotte's question of "anyone violated you lately" - seriously though!) D: And it's so bittersweet thinking of how Addie still ended up moving into a "silent house" with someone to "ignore her", despite how different she must have thought her life would be. DAMN YOU, DEREK, DAMN YOU. Ugh, but honestly, you made #9 so cute (and look how hopeful she was!), and the fact that you essentially had Addie later repeat what Derek said ("It's not like you look bad naked") just makes me wanna throw things. And put my fingers in some blue eyes. THOSE IRRITATING PUPPY DOG EYES. (I may have to sit myself down one day and really go over my feelings towards Derek. They seem nothing but irrational and excessive and - well, actually, I think that's pretty much it. I JUST WANNA SLAP HIM SO HARD AND YOU'RE NOT HELPING.)

Anyway, rewind P I'm so glad you didn't make the first person to see her naked simply the first person she slept with, the way you dealt with it makes the Montgomery backstory far more interesting ;) The "overly friendly dog" description though - HAHAHA that fits so well with what she told Adele on the show! Sigh, and the way you had Addie grow to be almost jaded among the males - also how much it contrasts with #9 - rings so true with her HBIC impression at her initial entrance to GA. The professor one especially pains me BUT I LOVE IT (in the fics sense - I would prob feel like punching Shonda in the nose had this happened on the show) and the way she brushes the "what are you?" question aside. Ha, "up to the task of you", huh? That, and Archer's reaction to her and Sterling later - why why why, why are you making me crey so much thinking about how different everything about #9 is? AND LOOK AT YOUR LAST LINE THERE. "I like it when you point at me"? YOU CAN'T GET OVER THE MCBANTER ABOUT TREES, CAN YOU? D:

(And among everything I almost forgot to comment on how wonderful your Weiss is. And of course, SAVVY. I don't think I even need to point out everything I liked - I don't wanna repeat your entire paragraphs - I'll just be over here grinning like an idiot. HEE :D)

And now we're onto #10. "Tenth and last", why, you're too cruel not letting her say it out loud. The way your Mark told her she's perfect though. How softly he spoke. And the way he touched her. D: But the thing that really gets to me is how very aware she seemed of everything throughout - maybe it's your meticulous way of describing everything in detail. And the comparison with Derek - guh, that can't be helped, and this is why Maddison couldn't work at that time, isn't it? Why can't they both be emotionally available at the same time? Why can't they be in sync just for once? I HATE TIMING AND EVERYTHING.

And look, that "vixen" Addie is back with #11. It's so heartbreaking how this time, instead of genuinely not caring about it herself, she thinks that no one else cares, how "it's not like anyone's looking" though - why, Addie, why? T_T I just want my two self-loathing and self-destructive to an almost pathological degree babies together. CRYING.

(Oh God, look, I rambled again. But what did you expect, with Montgomery backstory and all? XPP)

Sigh. I don't know what to say. You're just too perfect.

This line has always been one of those lines that make me cry for backstory details and I just love how you can always resolve my problems by writing perfect backstories that are just so true to the characters. With your writing it always feels like this is the real thing, this is how it happened.

I love how the conversation between Adele and Addie in season 2 also reflects in this story. Todd Small and his bendy desk lamp... I just can't! So many awkward details that are definitely hard to forget:D Plus I was always wondering if "really good" was already Derek or rather Mark, cause the way she says it sounds fair to both of them. So I like how you compared them and how Derek (I love the decontamination room btw, so true to Addek) used to be loving and cuddly and secure back in the day and Mark is dangerous and mindblowing and earth-shattering and darker somehow, but in a good way*-* They're just different and she needs both of them in a way and you point that out really well:)

Also the piano teacher - it just fits so cruelly well in Addie's upbringing that something like that might have happened and she would never tell anyone:'(

And Phil - that story always makes me love Archer even though everyone (on the show) thinks he's an ass. He loves his sister more than most people in Shondaland.

And that professor - I like how you solved that, cause it kinda fits, but then again she must have known about her father's students. So she picked a non-science, divorced one. Let me love you! And a wise one. "I just hope you find someone who's up to the task of you." *pointing discreetly at #10*

I love how this story is a journey, containing very vulnerable moments of her life, rather than the "Addison the cheaterwhore gives it up easily"-indication that Shonda might have wanted to stress with this line. Also the change of tone after the Derek-part... who would have thought she really found "someone to move into a huge silent house and ignore her over cocktails":'( Why did you let that happen, Derek?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this story and repeating that over and over I've probably forgotten half the things I wanted to say, but I'm not as perfect with word as you are anyway, so that's okay:)

PS: Sunsan buying Addie that skimpy bikini... I laughed so hard:D

So, so good. I love you explorations of Addison as a character. Can't get enough of your writing!

This was a really great idea for a fanfiction. So simple, but there's so much to explore. You do Addison so well. You do all the characters well, actually. Even your collegiate OC's were painfully familiar. I have to say, #5 is my favorite, and I never liked Addison and Alex together very much. But, all eleven were very good. Thanks for the great little read!

I am going to leave eleven reviews. Deal. With. It.
