Maz paints a picture of two people who have finally found what they need in life and this gives them the strength to face the future on their own terms. This is Spander at its very best; beautifully set up, elegantly written and wonderfully realized; what more could you possibly ask for.

Deftly encompassing Xander's journey as the willing sub of a confident, cocky and still caring Spike. Rarely does D/s have such a rich exploration of the journey as well as such tenderness! Bravo!

Couldn't have said it better myself!! (and not just because I'm your beta. I loved Observations even *before* I beta'd it)

You are a beautiful woman who writes beautiful stories and totally deserved to win.

Congrats, luv!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
