Jesus Christ. That is absolutely, positively not what I was thinking of when I requested that, and it is also quite possibly the hottest thing that I've read all fall. I adore the reversal of the roles; Fred being the love 'em and leave 'em girl, and Lilah being the one who wanted a little bit of comfort and cuddling afterwards. And this line: And the thing was, Lilah *could* see it. But she'd fuck Holland Manners himself before admitting it. - made me laugh at the same time I felt just a little sorry for Lilah.

I just love love love it. I want to take it home and have its babies. You rock. Thank you. :)

Intro: I just posted some extra stuff that could be seen as "director's cut" or some such.

*deep sigh*

I'm so happy you liked it. This was the first time that I was really and truly worried about a story. I couldn't figure out how to work 'domestic bliss' in. Thankfully I realized that I was taking the wrong tack... Make Fred the bad ass and viola! Suddenly it worked. So I wanted to thank you for giving me a chance to get to know Fred better, by creating different layers and such, it's given me a new perspective on the "Girl Wonder."

ps. I'm highly amused that you quoted back my favorite line. *g*

That was way nifty.

Thanks!
I worked really hard on it, I'm glad you liked it.

So the thing I love the best about your writing? That lines seem all innocent, and then there's a comma or just another clause, and everything gets completely turned on it's head and slapped six ways till Sunday. Fucking *love* that, and the Lilah is just and added bonus. *g*

And here I was thinking that I might have M. Night Shamalamadingdong'd myself one too many times. :) Love ya babe.

Lilah was a blast to write, Fred on the other hand was much trickier. Something about writing bits and pieces of yourself into a character ((b/c let's face it I have nada in common w/ Lilah))...

This was quite possibly the best Lilah/Fred I've ever laid eyes on. I love that Fred wasn't all sweetness and light but had a kind of role reversal with Lilah - a snarky Fred is my very favorite kind with the exception of maybe an evil one. They were both wonderfully characterized, and, well, fucking hot.

Wow. Pardon me while I fall over in shock. I'm *so* glad this worked for you. After I got over the fear and terror of actually writing this, I had a blast playing with my assumptions of Fred and Lilah. Needless to say I now have a much better appreciation of both characters. Now I just need Joss to bring Lilah back. :)

Oh and here's a link to some random 'extras and such, basically things that didn't fit into the story. Thanks so much for reading!
