The girl was stronger than she looked, stronger than Steve would have thought possible if he hadn't been who he was, hadn't seen what he'd seen.

I loved this! You had posted before about being in the process of writing a Steve/Buffy fic and I was super intrigued but this totally rocked! Steve/Buffy just makes so much sense and I love how you've written them both.

Thanks!

So it was going to be my New Year's resolution to stop lurking around LJ like a creeper and finally start commenting once in a while, but you've forced my hand early-because I can't not flail incoherently at you about this fic!

*FLAILS INCOHERENTLY!*

See? Now what am I going to do for a New Year's resolution?

Anyway, great job capturing both characters' voices-especially Buffy's (which I doubt is as effortless as the show makes it look). I could “hear” Sarah Michelle Gellar and could absolutely picture the look on Buffy's face when “the penny dropped.”

The sparring-into-foreplay was both sweet and hot (esp. liked Steve's pleasure at being manhandled;-) It makes me ridiculously happy that, at long last, Buffy Summers has a man worthy of her!

Right? That was part of my motivation for this, because Steve is like Riley-gone-right in all the best ways, and Buffy deserves someone who appreciates her and isn't put off by her strength and leadership abilities, and you know Steve would totally dig those things about her!

There could always be more, as I do love crossovers and I enjoyed writing this a lot. I never say never.

I *really* enjoyed reading this. Your other commenters' choice of the word "delightful" is apt.

Good grief, that looks like an awkward comment. But I'm leavin' it. Standing there like Wesley in S1 of Angel.

[musesfool]

Hee! Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I don't find this comment awkward at all. It is also delightful!

hfff, this is adorable and sexy and fun, and i love how much care and detail you took to set up the city and the atmosphere. X3 their interaction is a ton of cute too.
