As you know, I really dug this one because of the depth of their emotional exploration together, which lent a trust and intimacy to their lovemaking. You're very good at bringing it out in the open between them. You made many insightful observations about their relationship, not least of which was the interchange where they both admit their insecurity due to not being either one's "first choice". Wow. So obvious once you wrote it, but not so explored! Thanks for giving me that V-8 moment ( ... )

As you know - I love sex, writing it and ... but it's so much better when there's an emotional context for it. I'm so, so happy it came through in the fic. Thank you so much for all your help at getting it right. *hugs*

And I'm delighted the elevator sex worked for you - it was so short, comparatively, I wasn't sure it would have the proper ... "umph". Or whatever the kewl kids are calling it these days. LOL.

The "funest" thing about Logan, other than, you know, he's sex personified, is all of his mannerisms. And you're totally right, if not for JD, we wouldn't have so much material to play with. If only I could ... play with him, she said, biting her tongue. LOL.

Thank you, sweetie. So happy you dug it.

Have I mentioned lately how much I adore you? This fic is amazing. I love Veronica in the therapy session. That doctor did not know what to expect and it was sweet, funny, angsty, and tender all rolled into one.
And your smut, my God! woman, pretty much left me dead. I think the part that left me deadest, was in the bathroom when Logan wants Veronica to watch in the mirror......
Yeah.
And I always love your attention to details.
Awesome!

You are too kind, really. *blushing* I'm so happy you enjoyed it, particularly the therapy, because it was so difficult to get Veronica to cooperate. She was, as you can tell, much more willing to take off her clothes and have sex than bare her soul. As for the mirror sex - I had to have the Librarian help me with it, so the kudos for the scene really should go to her. But I'm happy to take credit anyway, because I'm a ho that way. So, thank you, I'm so glad the smut worked for you. LOL. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment.

Oh, you know how much I love your work, and the continuation of the fic from last month made me really happy.

I loved how easily you had Logan and Veronica go from that peaceful morning scene to the therapy session.

I was a bit bothered by Logan falling off the wagon so easily. The champagne at the George V and then the wine at dinner on NYE sort of took me out of those moments, when I should have been loving the lead-up to the sex.

That scene in the elevator was really well done, though, and felt so true to them. There's so much passion and so much that can be done with these two.

Aww, thank you. I'm glad you like it, especially the continuation. I was just too enamored of the idea of going to therapy together to leave the scene of the first part. You are not the only one who was troubled by Logan's drinking - one of my betas, and at least one other reader agree with you.

My explanation, such as it is: I did think about it, but concluded Logan's real issues were so much more grave than mere alcohol abuse, and once he got into therapy, the other issues well out-weighed his possible alcohol dependency. Even though courts routinely send people who've been convicted of DUI to rehab/therapy, often, the alcohol abuse is merely a symptom of deeper issues. I think, for Logan, alcohol is not real problem. Plus - I just couldn't imagine going to Paris for New Year's and not having a little champagne. I'm sorry it took you out of the story - but I kinda love the idea that you care enough about Logan to let it bother you.

Thanks for reading, Roz, and thanks for leaving such great fb.

It's no problem to leave you so lovely FB. I feel like I have if someone takes the time to write something so long, I can at comment back as such.

That explanation works for me, and actually helps dissuade some of my issues with the drinking.

I have to say, though, that even while I was extremely in love with the angst... the fluffy of Logan buying her so many wonderful gifts was my favorite. -smiling- Granted... he was motivated by fucking her on that elevator... and OH MY GOD... it was breathtaking and so unbelievably mindblowing, but still... there was love behind the actions and, in my mind, she was drop-dead gorgeous!

So much to love about this fic, sweetheart. So, so much. I'm so glad to see a continuation of the Christmas story... and you're all about writing the long, very emotionally satisfying epic fic! I'm almost wondering if there will be more... -smiling- Is this a "to be continued?"

Wha? *swoons* You liked LE FLUFF the best? I'm wounded, I tell you, wounded. *winks* Bwahaha. Not all of it was so he could fuck her on the elevator, just the dress ... and the garter belt ... and the stockings ... and - oh, well, alright. You win. But it was for a worthwhile cause, no? And I'm pretty sure Veronica looked hot-as-hell, too.

Thank you again for all the love. And, you know I don't "do" continuations, so why would you even suggest it? *winks*

I know... liking fluff over angst. Who am I and what have I done with me? -checks her person-

You win.

Hiya. Everything's kind of chaotic and busy here - I hope you're doing well. Thanks for your kind words - writing the therapy session was grueling, so I'm happy it worked for you. I, too, would be interested to see something like it on the show, but I'm fairly sure it won't ever happen. *sigh* Take care, sweetie.
