I've never read a B/G fanfic before! The story is well written, and has a great potential, but it's too short. I think this ship needs a slower development. The two first chapters are really very good but the third disappointed me. The end is hurried.

The story would be better with two or three chapters more, with characters realizing the change in their feelings thanks to little things, details, wondering what happens, and eventualy coming to terms with the romantic and sexual implications! The interest in this relationship lies in how they can acknowledge it and the way they can deal with.
We already know how much they love each other, how much they care about each other. Now there, they are supposed to become mates. But the author doesn't show enough the falling in love, how they start to see each other in a different way, as a man and a woman, with seduction and desire. I don't find this Giles very attractive here, and yet HE IS a very attractive man.

Really too short!

Despite never having read a B/G fic before, I enjoyed this one. Good characterisations and such, although occasionally the continuity lost me. Nearing the end it became rushed, and it could have been extended out a bit more. Then again, that could be just my opinion. It is however a good fic to introduce someone to the pairing.
