Thanks to both sherrold and z_rayne for the beta, and to eliade for kick-starting my brain. I make no money, I mean no harm. All mistakes are my own. This was originally written for the sga_flashfic community's "Harlequin" challenge.

Thanks, hon! In the office I am using at work, there is a poster about things 'Every Coffee Drinker Should...' do, and I think it worked subliminal messages into my brain. *g* It was a lot of fun to do. Thanks!

That is a lovely icon.

twisted_vergule made it after she read my story. I am totally, totally thrilled by it, and whenever I use it, it makes me happy. So you have very good taste.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

You are so right. I do have good taste. So what if I love Pat Benatar with no irony whatsoever and have been known to poach eggs in vinegar? Other people's hang-ups are not my problem.

::have wave:: You merely know what you like and how you like it. There is no crime -- nor bad taste -- in that.

I just read it again for the 3rd or 4th time and I still love it.

It's just a great AU that makes me smile;)

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you. I'm glad I could make you smile.

[sighs] that was beautiful and romantic. i don't know how u managed to make first time sex at the back of a coffee shop not sordid but romantic, but it just speaks for ur talent. i *loved* the Spare and the Power of Love and this i love to bits, too! :D u just made my day with these fics(i reread the spare, cried and felt all smoopy, the power of love and felt all glowy)!

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I am so glad you liked this. I went all-out for the romance in it, thinking more along the 'harlequin blaze' imprint that the regular line; I was working to try and make it both sensual and sweet. *g*

I just read this story from where it was linked at brevisse's journal and I thought it was AMAZING. I loved the pacing, and having worked as a barista, it felt very true to life. At least if you're a nice barista, which I tended to more be the cranky kind, but I loved my regular customers anyway.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool! I didn't know that the link was there. That's so neat. I love the art there, too. *g* Thanks!

Adorable and hot :)

Thanks!

This is the hottest and sweetest (and foamiest) piece ever. I might have feedbacked before, but it's not like you'll complain, eh? & :-)

Great stuff. Mmh.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

I would never complain about getting feedback twice. *g* Thanks.

[greenapple (from livejournal.com)]

I really like this.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
