Well gosh! First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a detailed comment. It means so much to me to have people respond to my work like this!

I'm flattered that you gave this a chance despite not being all about the 'cest, yourself. And I'm glad that all the plot and build up worked for you. Sometimes I worry that my readers will shout "enough of the yappity-yap, get to the PORN!" but apparently it worked this time. :)

I love Nathan and Sam's love of research, and I LOL'd at Dean's line in that episode. That's our Sammy! But Nathan loves him some research, too. He was a lawyer, after all.

So thanks again for your flattering words, and thank you for reading!
