"See the dark one next to her?"

They all leaned forward to see the darker rat with enormous- oh. That one was a boy-rat.

"I'm not going to ask where you learned to sex rats."

"A Slayer skill set is wide and varied. Ask me some time what I know about-"

Giles cut in. "Riley, by any chance do you have binoculars on you? Or some kind of sight?"

LOL!

And there's nothing worse than waiting especially when people's lives are on the line.

So true. Having nothing to do is the worst, because then not only are you not helping, but your time is filled with worrying instead.

Thanks mulder!

loving this but I second the w8ish for someone on their knees. *g*

drsquidlove May 28 2011, 23:27:33 UTC

I know, right? I'm sure Xander would rather be doing that, too.

Thanks lishel!

if it was up to me, they'd be naked right now, and one of them would be on his knees.

Deferred gratification. I can do deferred gratification. Not a teenager any more.

It is just deferred, right? Just postponed? Not cancelled? *Lip quivers* There will be smut, yes?

I'm with you...deferred is good as long as it is deferred and not cancelled on account of rats.

drsquidlove May 28 2011, 23:29:20 UTC

Rat-induced impotence. It can happen, you know.

Sorry, thea. I can't spoil the upcoming plot twist where Xander is so traumatised by all the rats that he becomes a monk... Oh, damn.

ok, so, i stopped commenting because i was embarrassed that i'd missed a couple of chapters and then didn't have anything more to comment than YAY (which, i know, is ok, but do you ever sometimes get shy about not adding anything meaningful to the discussion? that happened to me. for like 50 chapters. i am owning my own lurker-ness ( ... )

drsquidlove May 28 2011, 23:30:39 UTC

Kate!

Okay, for starters, being embarrassed about anything to me only speaks to a tragic lack of understanding of my own shamelessness. But of course I adore a good 'yay', especially from you. And frankly, you're welcome to stop by just to post a lovely Xander icon.

Part of Xander's leap into the ass sex was for me: the Giles Thing was one long ramblingly drawn-out edition of the 'guy learns to embrace being penetrated' trope, so I didn't want to do that again. Xander's got other stuff to learn to embrace in this story. Also, it was a little hymn in praise of straight boys who aren't afraid of their arses.

UPT: Unresolved Plot Tension.

I love your frustration. It is a drug to me. Besides, if Xander just told people stuff, this would have been finished back in February.
