awwwww thats was so lovely - She lived her life but returned to gene. And shaz her guardian angel loved!

I've been revisiting some old favorites these past few days, and I stumbled upon this one quite by accident. I loved it the first time I read it way back when (can't believe I didn't leave a review!), but now this story has even more meaning because something similar to this really would have been a perfect way to end the series. Beautifully crafted, very poignant, and so full of hope. Lovely.

I've really missed your writing, Louella. Still cherish the hope to see something new from you. Wish you and yours all the best in the New Year. :)

There are a couple of wonderfully perfect (and perfectly wonderful) quotes in this story - "Real's what you make it, Ma'am. Grab it with both hands" and " they had a whole new lifetime to lead." I grinned a lot but also teared up at the thought that Alex would return to where she was and pick things up again. It's an ending to dream of.

arr that was cute loved it...i was worried at first she'd be a lod woman but i liked the way you did it nice :) xx

WOW! Great idea! I hope this happens if Alex does ever get back to 2008. that she grows old and then when she dies shes bk in 1982, that would be so cool! This is a really great story!

:) Very sweet. The only way Alex could ever truly be happy, I think. Nicely done :)

Late to review this, Lou - only just catching up from being away.

Lovely fluff, answers all doubts. Groovy, and very sweet. More than makes up for the agony of the last one...!

Oh, this is gorgeous. Love the idea of Shaz as guardian angel, and the suggestion that Alex taking Gene as her lover may be the catalyst she needs to get her back home - which could mean a long wait for us GALEX lovers come Series 2... You describe Gene's uncertainty the morning after so beautifully too. Thanks for giving us a happy ending after the angst of "Long Way Home", I think we deserve it!

Hmm. Shaz as the guardian angel? I like it.

Nice story too; it's the only way Alex is going to have both worlds. Isn't it? ; )

This was lovely! What a clever idea and solves all our problems in one fell swoop. Thank you. Looking forward to the next story already.

Oh wow...Love it, very emotional and incredibly well written :-)

Lovely.

Made me smile. I loved Gene in the kitchen, all awkward and not quite managing to look at her. Perfect.

I think this would be great to develop further. You've got the Molly angst out of the way in one go. Nice twist, by the way, wraps it all up nicely from the start.

I like Shaz's role too.

Go on, Louella - let Alex have some more fun! ;)

Aw! Lovely. Nice way to remove Molly from the equation. Wish it wasn't just a one shot though. :)

Lovely, lovely story. Intriguing and pefectly plausable. If the tv series ends this way I wouldn't be too unhappy.

An interesting story. Please leave it as a one-shot though or otherwise you will run the risk of ruining it.
