The story was nice and the writing good. Xander and Willow were fairly close to character, except: I just don't see that ever happening back then. If there had been no tara after Oz left and Willow and Xander spent a lot of time together, possibly. But with him just breaking up with cordy and her still dating Oz and a virgin at that time, It didn't strike me as that realistic.

The characters have no substance. I don't recognize them.

The plot was rather trite. An upset Xander sees Willow in a state of undress - by candlelight, no less - and suddenly realizes what he has been missing. The sex was confusing. It is possible to write wonderful sex scenes with a minumum of words and no mention of nc-17 rated body parts, but this one just left me going "huh?"

The occasional switches over to Xander's POV in a mostly Willow's POV story are rather disconcerting, and while I may not be the best with grammar, this story left me longing for my red pencil to correct all the misplaced commas.

Not only did the story not keep my interest, it never even captured it.

There's nothing really bad about this story, but there isn't anything good about it either. It lacks zing. I give it 50/100.
