Oh yay! So glad to finally see them together, and not at all sorry to have you put off the plot for another day. They need the time together, after all the time it's taken them to get here. Loved the way they seem to fit together, even when things aren't perfect in bed. That just makes it more realistic, after all. And I adored the love names...very sweet.

I'm looking forward to the new plot twists, though. Maybe we'll get to find out what's got Cordelia so upset these days. And help poor Wesley get settled in. And see how they solve their money problems... So much left to do. Here I was worried that the story would be over when you finally got Angel and Xander in bed. *g*

I noticed above that you've been spending time researching the love words, and I thought I'd share a site I found while hunting for translations of the Gaelic terms you've been using. IrishGaelicTranslator.com I like the fact that its translation forum is full of Gaelic speakers, and that you don't need to be a member to use the forum.

This link is to the sister site (Irish-Sayings.com) to the page that has recordings of two Gaelic dialects of "mo chuisle" - a lot of the recordings are for members only, but a few of the endearments are open for non-members.

I thought that was pretty cool. *g*

Looking forward to the next chapter already!
