That is, actually, the nicest review I have ever received for any of my work.  I am...well...speechless.  Thank you for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed it.  It is truly the folks who review that sometimes urges the writers to write.

XOXO

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed that!

You're very welcome, m'dear! I enjoyed writing it. Actually, I enjoyed being the instrument through which the muse wrote. I'm just the hands.

Thank you,hon. It's good to know that, though it's not full on X-rated porn, people still liked it.

You're welcome!

I needed smut! **blinks at the so-far-smutless IAW**

I just...and they were...Eep!

**runs and hides**

I think I'm getting more and more stunned with every new review. Makes me wanna smother them all in smooches and fic!

Thank you, Jack! With such overwhelmingly positive response; the kind words from everyone who is reviewing it, I feel as though I'm really getting ready to dive head first back into this verse. I kinda miss it. (Plus, Athenewolfe keeps asking for it.)

In the end, I just couldn't handle it. Yes, I had the voyeurism and purposefully kept it up to the readers' imaginations as to what Cordy and Doyle were doing. To have been graphic would have a squick factor that I'm just not ready to deal with. As for Buffy and Spike, the Spike in this verse is very much unlike canon Spike. This is his future mate and he knows beyond a shadow of doubt that she is still a child in so many ways. He knows she is innocent in matters of physical love. When it's time, it'll be special and not standing in a graveyard twenty yards from a couple of exhibitionists.

Why, thank you, madame! :-D I enjoyed writing it, and can't even begin to describe how stunned I am at such positive response. It's just...WOW!

Yeah? Hot? Really? I was sooo nervous. I'm pretty much gobsmacked by the amazing reviews it's getting. Thank you!

As you can see, there was no throwing her down and rutting like rabid weasles on rufie-overdose. So, lite.

And, for once, I wrote a non-bitey. Never thought I'd be capable of that. Think my muse is getting a bit missish in his old age.

I'm so delighted that you huys are enjoying this! It always makes me nervous when I post.

Really, what the hell was Whedon thinking with all the Bangel crap!? - Grown man "falling in love" with a 15 year old girl and having a romantic, and later sexual, relationship with a 16 year old.

He was thinking?

Glad you enjoyed it.

There'll be a lot more, I promise. The only reason I've not been updating MB is because there would be too much confusion in a story that separates into two distinctly different timelines. The best I can do is get it all finished and post all chapters from one timeline, then all chapters from the other.

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

:/ :-/ No, not holding out...playing close to the vest? I finally got sick of the muse poking me when I tried to get some sleep. He wanted this written, so written it was. Plus, Moving Backwards would have never been posted if not for Holly making me do it. Seemed a fitting gift for her b-day.

As for the other...Yes, Spike held back because of her age. When it's time, especially her first, it's going to be special.

It may surprise you, but those types of scenes bother me, under normal circumstances. I needed it to be there, but there was no way I was gonna go into anymore detail than I did.

As for the underage thing. I was just too uncomfortable with myself writing a scene like that. It was for that reason alone that Spike never tried to take it any further. It's also the reason I always hated Angel. He was a dirty, manipulative bastard that got his "moment of true happiness" from sex with a minor. What the hell was Whedon thinking?
