All the Way

Synopsis: It's Halloween in Sunnydale, with tricks and treats in abundance in the form of provocative costumes and plenty of teasing between Giles and Jenny. Xander and Anya announce their engagement and the Scoobies throw an impromptu celebration, but Dawn's sneaky antics quickly derail the party. Not to mention, Willow's continuing

LOL. HAHAHA. The "Windmill Salad" is going to be a sex position that will totally make it into the books. And apparently send lots of people to the hospital. LOL. I love it. Jenny is amazingly sarcasting, but poor Anya. I can almost see her reaction to nearly breaking Xanders arm.

"XANDER, IF WE CAN'T MASTER THIS POSITION, WE CAN'T BE APART OF THE SECRET SOCIETY OF MARRIED PEOPLE :("

I kinda started with the end of the chapter here, didn't I? Lets play the "Skip around the chapter" game.

THE TEASING AND THE SMUT. I loved it, though I kind of have a hard time picturing Jenny staying upright on her skates when they were in the training room. But it was completely and 100% perfect.

Jenny's and Anya's costumes were amazing, though. Me and two other friends of mine have a thing with Charlies Angels. Xander totally should have been the third one.

I adore Anyas fear of bunnies so much. Its random and perfect, especially when she dresses as one.

She and Tara shared another smirk before the girl replied, "I'm not really much for the timber," and went off to join Willow and Dawn.
AHAHAHA. Score, Tara. I can't remember if that was apart of the actual dialogue in that episode or not, but it was great.

Giles/Xander banter is so adorable, but even more when they were both sitting on the stairs discussing how Giles knew Jenny was "the one". I'm glad they can banter and annoy each other, but still depend on each other like father/son.... or brother/brother. I can't decide how to describe their relationship.

The biggest thing I love about Spike in the later seasons, is that he's way protective of Dawn. Almost like he's looking out for her like a big brother would. Spike/Dawn slashfic disgusts me almost as much as Buffy/Giles slashfic, because they do /not/ have that type of relationship.

Because of that last update, "Wicked Game" is stuck in my head. Thank you.

Are you still planning on going through with Xander backing out of the wedding? Are you gonna write a chapter with that, or no? I've been interested to see how you'd cover it. If you'd marry them, or go with the actual story. Then again, this is Rupert and Jenny's story. Not Xander and Anyas, but I really liked them together.

THE GAME OF SKIPPY FEEDBACK IS OVER. Come back next week for more!

I have mixed feelings about how far we've gotten in Twosome. I'm so happy and excited that we've come this far, but I'm also sad that it's almost over. Checking/reading twosome has become a part of my day-to-day routine, so expect me to stalk your fic LJ for quite some time after this is over. LOL.

NEXT IS OMWF. You're going to do great, I know you are. You always do. You could write an entire chapter about dog poop, and you'd still find a way to make it the most amazing chapter ever.

But, if you feel like you can't pull it off, skip it and reference it in the next chapter.

YOU JUST WATCH. "Windmill Salad" will make it into Webster's Dictionary, right alongside bootylicious. Well ok, not right alongside bootylicious, because y'know, that will be with the B's, and Windmill Salad will be with the W's... but STILL. THEY'LL BOTH BE THERE.

"XANDER, IF WE CAN'T MASTER THIS POSITION, WE CAN'T BE APART OF THE SECRET SOCIETY OF MARRIED PEOPLE :(" AHAHAHA. I think somebody (YOU) has a talent for writing Anya, lol, because I could picture EXACTLY how Emma Caulfield would've said that, kind of standing over Xander shouting at him while he clutches his arm in pain. LOL. You're awesome like that.

I loved it, though I kind of have a hard time picturing Jenny staying upright on her skates when they were in the training room. Haha, thanks! I actually debated whether or not to inject a little comedy in which Jenny loses her footing and falls on her butt in the midst of their steamy stuff, lol, but I erred on the side of more smut.

Me and two other friends of mine have a thing with Charlies Angels. Xander totally should have been the third one. I LOVE Charlie's Angels, and have since I was about fourteen. My girl friends and I always used to do the Charlie's Angels pose for pictures in high school, LOL. It's obnoxious how many pictures I have of us posing like that, seriously. And I desperately wanted to change Xander's costume for the sake of hilarity, but I really did love the foreshadow of him wearing the eye-patch with his pirate costume. So, a pirate he remained.

Score, Tara. I can't remember if that was apart of the actual dialogue in that episode or not, but it was great. It WAS! Hehehe. I totally didn't even catch it when I first watched the episode, but it made me laugh out loud when I was reading over the transcript in preparation to do this episode. Oh, Tara.

And thank you! I'm so happy you liked the Giles/Xander stuff. I always loved how they had that unique, indefinable bond. With Buffy/Giles, it's easy to define because it's clearly father/daughter. But Giles/Xander is this strange mix of brother/brother, uncle/nephew, father/son, etc. that's so fun to watch. I honestly wish they had spent more time establishing what that relationship was.

I love Spike/Dawn, too. And I think his whole protectiveness over Dawn kinda makes me love Spike/Buffy even more, because it just enforces that Spike loved Buffy more than any of her other loves ever did (*cough*ANGEL*cough*), and it's just... so darn sweet, in a way.

Are you still planning on going through with Xander backing out of the wedding? Are you gonna write a chapter with that, or no? To tell you the truth, I really don't know quite yet. I've been thinking about it here and there as I've been trying to plan out the rest of the season, and that's the one episode I always waffle back and forth on. I can tell you for certain that I am going to cover it... I just don't know what the outcome is gonna be quite yet. I think, really, either way is do-able. I just eventually have to choose, LOL -- which will be the hard part.

I'm so happy and excited that we've come this far, but I'm also sad that it's almost over. Checking/reading twosome has become a part of my day-to-day routine, so expect me to stalk your fic LJ for quite some time after this is over. LOL. Awwww, thank you sweetie! This has been such a labor of love and stress for me, LOL, I'm similarly sad and happy about the inevitable end to the series. On the plus side, my fic LJ will be used a bit more than it has in the last year and a half! Hahaha.

And yep, OMWF is up next, and I volley back and forth between excitement and terror, LOL. I'm gonna do it, just because I think it'll be a good challenge. Just don't expect poignant song lyrics from me or anything, hahaha. I suck at rhyme scheme. :D

Thanks again, bb, so very much!!

I usually try not to leave multiple comments in the FB section, but I wanted to reply to this:

I LOVE Charlie's Angels, and have since I was about fourteen. My girl friends and I always used to do the Charlie's Angels pose for pictures in high school, LOL.

OMG WE DID TOO. Except, the funny thing is? My two best friends in middle/high school was a girl and a guy. God, I wish I could find one or two of the posing pictures we took. You'd have your real life Xander-Charlies Angel right there - minus the skimpy outfit. I think he adored that movie more than anyone else I've ever seen. And I'm almost betting we could have talked him into this costume that Xander wouldn't go for. LOL. He even had the long-ish curly hair for awhile.

Just wanted to share.

Someone should go run to urbandictionary.com and add "Windmill Salad" in there. It'll go viral with that. Just a thought.

Bahahaha! That is AWESOME. I always wanted a guy best friend in high school. Alas, I was stuck with girls. :/
