This is actually a sort-of sequel to an earlier story that touches on how they know each other. It's not really necessary to read that to get the gist here, but if you want a little bit more, it's there. Ever since I wrote that, I've wanted to have them meet up again in their new roles. "Happiness is a warm Gunn" did the trick!

Thanks for commenting, sweetie!

That was great. Very enjoyable. Love the last line. :)

Once again, too close to deadline for a Brit check! *hangs head* Glad you liked it, darling! I appreciate the comment, especially knowing you have a full day today! Have a blast at the MidiMeet, you lucky gal!

Thank you. It was great fun.

Love it! Wood's attitude to Angel is just pitch-perfect, and that last image is a delight.

¡Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Every little bit of Lorne and Gunn makes me happy, so I'm pleased it delights you as well. Thanks for commenting on such a busy day! Have fun!

Oh, well done! Loved Angel's impressive swoop in and out. *G*

Hee! MiAmor tells me I tend to cut Angel off at the knees in my fic, but for once I've let him be "the guy". Eh, Wood broods enough for the both of them, I guess. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for commenting, sweetie!

Very nice. You're not doing much to dispel the "all black folks know each other" notion, but I can't say I mind.

Buffy's on maternity leave? So, are we in the Ringverse here? I can't think of any obvious contradictions.

Yep, it's the Ringverse (post wedding), which I decided to call RingOnIt!verse over at AO3, after watching Glee. Sweet of you to notice!

Guilty. I felt uncomfortable mashing Wood and Gunn together when I did The Front Lines, but once I did it I loved them and wanted them to be there to support each other later in their careers. Which is sort of the backwards point of this story, I think. Wood can't seem to accept the "other" until he finds one of his own. He probably doesn't realize how isolated he feels, until the relief of seeing his old charge/reflection puts him into a new comfort zone and he can open up, finally ( ... )
