LOL. Why not? It seemed to work out last time. In fact, I think thats what I'm going to do from now on. I can really get my point across THIS way and address the points I want to, rather than wait and have to skim through the chapter later and forget half of the stuff I meant to say.
This time, I'm just going to dive right in!
And I bet you can't just guess the very first thing I noticed, huh?
Then, taking a breath, she added, "Secondly... I wanted to kiss you. Just once." She stepped toward him, her hands reaching for him and fingers tracing his lips. "Just to see--"
"Stop." He caught her wrist, and they met each other's eyes, that electrical charge still in the air.
Jenny just swallowed hard, frozen in place by the smoldering look in his eyes. He'd told her then that he had to leave -- that he had to turn around and walk out before he threw her on the desk and ravished ( ... )

Maybe I shouldnt write these while you're updating. Because... lord. This is as long as it was in DB. Yeah, I should revert back to waiting the next day. LOL. Oh well. Two parter, here it is !

It was passionate, bone-meltingly intense without being rushed or frenzied. This coupling was all about taking the time to truly feel each other, inside and out, to come back together after the abrupt rift had thrown an ocean between them.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT LINE. EVERYTHING. Its so descriptive and perfect and... yeah. The loose ends are tied up. The knot in this has been tied into a perfect little bow. YES ( ... )

Long story short -- I am SO SO SO happy you loved this chapter as much as you did. It was such a labor of love for me, and I kind of felt compelled to finish it up in one night. Not just for you guys, though that was kind of a driving force, but also to close up all of that intense emotion for me while writing it -- because these were an intense two chapters, this and Hydra. Like, my hands would literally shake when I was done writing some parts just because of the adrenaline rush, or all the emotion. (Though, I do still feel bad for ignoring Jack a little. But meh - he's a kitty, he got over it fast. I pretty much just opened the door once I posted it and he ran in all happy, like "OHAI! WE SNUGGLE NAO?" Hehehe ( ... )

I was kind of expecting the guilt over the J/A stuff, because I felt guilty about loving it so much by the time I got to this. It was a super-emotional chapter to write. Playing "Faithfully" on repeat as I wrote totally enhanced it, too.
(Jenny/Angel is still a pretty damn sexy crack!ship though, hehehe.)
When Giles was off on his angry tangent about her and Angel having sex... then WAM. PILLOW IN FACE. Yeah. I chuckled... slightly. Bahahaha! To be honest, I was originally going to have Jenny slap him in the face, but I thought that would be a little too melodramatic. So I switched it up and had her throw the pillow. :D
And the England trip? Was so serendipitous. The whole reason I wanted to cover Triangle originally, was so I could figure out how to work that trip in. With the massive fight, it seemed like the perfect place for it. So, I was excited about that. Because I'm not good at writing the awkward-around-each-other stuff ( ... )

And the rest...

I've said it so many times before, but it most certainly bears repeating again, you are a brilliant writer. You have an amazing gift. I am truly thankful that I went searching for something to fill the G/J hole Joss left in my heart months ago, and found this RP and you. Again, please never stop writing. Ever. EVER.

So, thank you so much for sticking around. ♥ ♥

BUT THESE TWO ;___;
OMG
MY HEART here - I was so completely into the hot Jenny/Angel stuff (because seriously, that was SO INTENSE and ridiculously sexy), but I felt SO BAD when it came to Giles' reaction. :'( (I'm so intrigued to see where the Jenny/Angel thing goes now - obviously he's not really around anymore, but it must have one hell of a lasting impact, and not just on Jenny/Giles.)
And everything about his reaction was LITERALLY PERFECT and COMPLETELY GILES <3 He was just so ready to forgive when it was just the kiss, but the Angel-being-in-love-with-Jenny thing just pushed him over the edge :( Their fight was so so real and heartbreaking :( I actually don't blame him for thinking they might have slept together, but I felt Jenny's pain when he accused her of it ( ... )

I didn't think it was possible, but I am even more in love with you.

Glad you guys enjoyed the makeup sex too, hehehe. It was very different for me to write that as opposed to any of the other times they had crashed together again, because this one almost needed to be slow and tender. Maybe because they're married now, and their marriage was on the line? IDK, it was just a totally different set of feelings for me writing this, versus any of their other makeup sessions.
Again, SO SO happy you enjoyed this chapter! I'll get started on "Checkpoint" at some point during the week -- kinda wanna finish that birthday-smut-fic first :D

It was one of those very rare (but very serious) times where Giles and Jenny actually fight for real. Precisely. As I mentioned to myfidgetball, I think this may have only been the second time I've ever taken them to this place -- the only other time I can recall, was "In With the Old." Normally, I like to keep their fights easily-resolvable. I think this totally called for a blowout, though.
The way you are able to take us on these emotional roller coaster rides is amazing. What I mean by that is, is you have the skill to make the readers feel what the characters are feeling and it's very real to us. We are able to connect so well with the characters thanks to how well you can write them. Thank ( ... )

Even the making up was bittersweet. Not because they still harbor ill feelings, but just because the situation still exists and will continue to exist and you KNOW it's gonna come up again, at some point. Exactly. And I am just biding my time until I get to unleash some of that angst/tension again.
I keep going back and forth on whether or not I want Buffy to find out. As do I, lol, and I'm the one that's eventually gotta make the decision. Still don't know what way I'll go. And I agree with what you said. It could create some interesting dynamics between the four of them, but at the same time... I worked so hard to move Jenny and Buffy to a place where ( ... )

I worked so hard to move Jenny and Buffy to a place where they could be close and be friends without Buffy doing the bratty 'daddy's-little-girl' thing with Jenny. Not sure I want to throw them back in that place. I understand completely! Their relationship had such a natural evolution to it, I can understand not wanting to throw it back to its early stages. If only Buffy weren't such an emotional spaz, lol.

If only Buffy weren't such an emotional spaz, lol. EXACTLY. Hahahaha, that's the perfect way to describe Buffy. Because I honestly thought about revealing the Jenny/Angel thing to Buffy (have Giles tell her or something) but then I just thought of the way Buffy would handle that information: #1, she would make it all about her. That's just a given. And #2, she would revert to acting like a snotty little bitch about it, and treat Jenny like shit just like she did in season two. Ridic. Ridic. Don't wanna go there, lol. So I think this'll end up being one of those what-Buffy-doesn't-know-won't-hurt-her things. :D
