Xanthe,

I don't normally read West Wing fic(didn't like the first two shows) but after reading this fic, I kind of wished I had.   It never occured to me to put McGarry and Bartlet together.  Not just as a couple, but in a BDSM relationship.  As for the timing, I'd like to think Walter and Fox are still together in an end-of-series way. 

Thank you for opening so many more possibilties!

Lou
