Re: Fic: Please Understand (part 4/4) W/T/B NC17

The Bear,

Well, it took me a couple of days to get around to it, but it was worth
the wait. No problem at all with the line-borrowing because:

1) it made me laugh, and
2) as I noted, I borrowed it myself, adapting (i.e., replacing "yuck"
with "ew") from "Untouched". So credit is due to Mere Smith (or perhaps
Joss, who directed the ep and is thought to have rewritten it), not me.

I'm very glad that you had the B/W finish, since the fic was turning a
little bit into a B/T. A damn hot B/T mind you, with some nicely
unearthed TaraLovesBuffy subtext from "Family"--

--hmm, there's a plot possibility, Tara falls for Buffy at the expense
of her relationship with Willow and possibly leading to a B/W hookup?--

--but still I'm always glad to see a return to the topic around here.
I also liked the non-BDSM interaction, for variety's sake and also to
reassure us that the relationship is not All About The Kink.

Xander's reactions were pitch-perfect, from resentment to resignation,
and Giles and the glasses were a hoot.

I've already skimmed the next one (btw, you'll notice I'm not
complaining AT ALL about the rapid output <g>) and liked it very much.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks,

Dan

vastly generous with Mere Smith's toys...
