First, let's just get the necessary out of the way: ALEX IS AN ANIMAL. I love it and Tony obviously loves it beyond belief the lucky, bruised bastard.
I totally get what you were saying about the backwards porn now and it works very well. Not only does it seem quite in line with the way Tony's mind works but somehow the flashes of images as Tony's memories unfold make the whole thing sexier because we get those little glimpses intertwined with the morning after.
Some of my favorite bits:
He's never been clutched at before, never been wrenched and clawed and savaged with such forceful passion in his life.
Like I said, Alex = animal. She is a sexy, sexy beast.
Then he’d had that familiar feeling, that sudden expanse of opportunity opening before him. A moment, a pinpoint in time when he could act, or fail to act.
She’d begun to pull away, but he’d only let her gain an inch or two of distance before he’d caught her.
Good for you, Tony! There was something quite satisfying about seeing him recognize the moment and without thought just take the leap. We saw him building up to that moment for so long in the series that it's so rewarding to see it realized. And of course all the more rewarding for Tony since it apparently led to the shag of his life and all.
There was dinner. And conversation. A twisting, running stream of conversation, flowing from point to point and moment to moment with such a complex lack of structure that at the time he didn’t even notice what they were eating.
*points excitedly* See, I even love non-smutty bits! This is just a perfect description of how wrapped up in each other they could get when given the time and no murders or other such nuisances interrupting them and a perfect description of one of those amazing first dates that you never want to end. I can absolutely picture them happily chatting away whilst the wait staff tried to subtly shoo them out and it's about the most adorable image ever.
He feigns at being suave, lets his gaze roam where it wishes, and despite the wickedness still in her eyes, she blushes.
So perfect. Hot yet still perfectly in character with Alex being all naughty yet still smitten enough to blush furiously and with Tony not quite confident enough to be effortlessly suave but still confident enough to fake it pretty well (which is pretty damn good for Tony).
He can see her freckles again, under the fluorescent light.
I love the way that this echoes back to the first kiss and I just love the way Tony notices and fixates on the freckles. It's such a sweet, cute little lovey dovey thing which contrast with and yet perfectly compliments the wild, crazy sex. The combination of the two just makes me completely in love with them and their HOT EPIC LOVE.
if the level of porn is deemed entirely insufficient, I will gladly attempt something more porny if you so wish. I’m kind of feeling the groove, now.
This whole thing was way more than sufficient but still, yes, please write more. More fluff, more porn, whatever. I just so adore the way you write these two. Feel the groove and go with it woman! It is obviously working for you.

Ahem. Seriously, I feel like I'd built this thing up way too much and you were going to be horribly disappointed with the lack of, well, anything really, considering nothing much happens in this fic at all. And I'll take the damn snogging, thanks very much, to hell with being inappropriate. This thing took me forever to write, I deserve a reward.
ALEX IS AN ANIMAL.
Hmmm, you were unaware of this fact? How odd. She is a wicked, dirty, pornographic, uncontrollable, freaky as hell ANIMAL. Personally I don't know how someone as mild-mannered as Tony is going to handle it. I'll have to write some more so we can find out.
Oh, I'm glad you made that association with the backwards stuff and Tony's screwed up way of thinking! It happened by accident (which is the case for absolutely everything I write, by the way), but I figured it suited him to be having flashbacks whilst she tracked him down in the bathroom. I'm telling you, the woman is insatiable.
it apparently lead to the shag of his life and all
Most definitely. Who has Tony shagged who could possibly be a better lay than Alex? Plus, there's the whole in-love factor, which makes everything 10000 times hotter.
The thing with the never-ending conversation is, the potential has always been there, they've just never had a decent chance. I was absent-mindedly watching 4.01 today, and their first meeting, and even way back then they had this flirty little rapport thing going on. He makes her grin from ear to ear in that scene, when he tries to get her to take the bet about finding more bodies. No-one makes Alex grin like that, and he did it in the first five minutes! There's some real flirtation going on in that scene, which is just really interesting but not at all surprising, I guess. The chemistry was there from the get-go (whoops, I just paraphrased Mary J Blige. Weird.)
Now, the problem is, on closer inspection post-writing I've since discovered that ALEX DOES NOT HAVE FRECKLES. Like, at all. Goddammit.
I'll say it again, I'm so glad you liked this. I have no confidence whatsoever with writing quasi-smut, although I'm now quite tempted to give it another go. Maybe I'll write the continuing saga of Alex and Tony going at it against various walls and hall tables around Bradfield and surrounds?

Oh, I was certainly aware of Alex's animal status. I just like to mention it as often as possible for the delightful mental images it provides and I would like to thank you for reinforcing said mental images with this fic.
I'll have to write some more so we can find out.
Yes, yes. You must. It's your civic duty. *nods knowingly* Only you can address the very important issue of how Tony responds to Alex's insatiable sexual appetite. You wouldn't want to leave your reading public hanging, would you?
I absolutely agree with you that they've always had the potential for the never-ending conversation. You're right that even when they were at each other's throats in 4.01 they still had that drawn to each other thing going on and Alex had that instinctual positive reaction to him in spite of herself. Awww... I'm about to start rambling about destiny and kindred spirits or something awful like that. Someone stop me!
But, really, we saw them get so close to a conversation like you described so many times especially toward the end but there was always work or something else to distract them. I've no doubt that as soon as they got the chance they'd have gotten all chatty and porny just as you've written here.
The nerve of Alex not to have even one freaking freckle! How dare she? Always cheeky, that one. Maybe they're hiding and emerge when she gets some sun or something? It could just be that gloomy Bradfield weather that's been hiding them from us. Or Tony's just hallucinating from all the sex. That's not impossible.
You should absolutely have confidence. This was amazing! You managed to be both in character and just the right amount of hot without straying into dangerous territory with all the thrusting and so on and so forth. I wholeheartedly approve of you continuing this saga! In fact I will be one sad mammoth if you do not! *sad face* You don't want that, do you?

See, I thought you just might have had an inkling about Alex's hornbag capacities. How could you possibly have missed it?! (with skirts like hers.)
I think you've got every right to carry on about kindred spirits and soul mates etc. Sad as it is, I feel the same way. How else do you explain it? Carol leaves and suddenly this total fox appears in Tony's life, and they're just perfect together and complement each other and everything just easy and they just work. It's fate, it's always been fate, with these two. *hangs head in shame*
Only issue is, now instead of having that never-ending conversation, they're going to have the prospect of lots of sex to distract them instead of work. I guess they can chat afterward.
You're so right, it must be the weather in Bradfield. She'd tan up really well, and surely she'd have to bust out a couple freckles! Can I just ahead and write some little bit of drabbly crap about the two of them going on holiday together, and all the comedic misunderstandings and beach-shagging that would entail? I kind of really want to.
Well, thank you! I'm certainly planning to continue this little saga of sex and snogging, etc. I'm working diligently on an Alex-POV follow-up to this at the minute, although I'm finding it a tiny bit hard to write snuggly!Alex. I can totally picture her being that way in my head, but getting her head around it is not quite so easy, it seems. But hey, she'll come good. She always does!

*joins you in your fluffy, disgustingly romantic corner of shame* There really is just no fighting the fact that they're fated to be together in a shamefully adorable fashion.

Far be it from me to stop you. I wouldn't want to interrupt your creative process. Is it just me or do you think Tony would be a total pain on vacation? I just picture him being insanely hyper and unable to relax. Well, at least until Alex convinced hit to settle down probably via copious amounts of beach shagging. Then it would all be good.
I'm so looking forward to your Alex follow-up though I do recognize how snuggly!Alex could provide some challenges. However, I have complete faith in your ability to get that woman snuggling the bejeezus out of Tony (who I'm sure is a total sucker for snuggles)!
But hey, she'll come good. She always does!
He he!
