Is that the original, or did you translate what I wrote?
I found it by googling Voltaire and séduire. Then I googled the whole phrase to make sure there were multiple references. Didn't find a textual reference though.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, Megan!

What's gaffing?
Setting up the lights on set.
No, seriously.... Though Nutty protests it is a made up word, the term gaffer, in a slightly archaic sense, refers to an old man, but I believe the specific etymology of the term (though I can't find an online reference to back me up in this instance) is a reference to very chatty old men, who sit around and talk a lot. So, I would submit that, made up or no, Nutty use of the word "gaffing" would refer to our penchant as Buffistas to talk a lot, and that she, and everyone else, certainly did in San Francisco.

Not helping with the "not sounding like sex talk" part, there Hec.

Thanks for pointing out the authorship, Steph. It would have been sensible of me to do that, huh?
Penis panic. Which is in no way a gross link, or anything. I don't think. But I don't have a penis, and am quite calm about it.

That link seems to lead to a locked post, or some other thing that's giving me just a Word Press error page, ita.

The code seems to be going up and down. Hmm. I clicked on it again and then refreshed and got through.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I said "largely concluded." Thanks for thinking for me, guys!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My maternal grandfather had us all call him "Gaffer" because he didn't like the usual grandpa/granddad/pop options. He was indeed wordy.
