Thank you so much for the kind review. I'm not good with schmoop so I think I frustrate most Buffy/Giles shippers. I prefer the watcher/slayer dynamic to be honest. This one drew upon my own occasional dark moods and detachment. I think the show writers didn't really address buffy's problems in season 6, they just gleefully kept adding to them. In this, she does at least manage to express some it.

For the record, I can't and don't write porn scenes. But I do enjoy writing conflict. :-)
