I think the rewatch helped make the voices fresh for me, especially for Giles. I have to be very careful with Xander, because I've focused on him so long and written him for so long that it's too easy for me to put too much of my own humor and speech patterns into his dialogue. Having betas that know me well enough to when to say, "Little more Xander, little less Sue," also helps. Heh. I really, really enjoyed writing Giles, though.
Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed this! And yes, I'm a terrible tease. I tried to get them to a sexy moment, but I just couldn't get there in this story (they wouldn't stop talking!) But I'm hopeful of more fic to come. (And look, I used your icon!)
