* Desperate Measures - Both were scenes I was especially proud of. There's times when you know you want the characters to communicate something between each other, and it feels like it only ever rarely happens. :D
* The First Departure - It's interesting that you mention how rereading makes things more powerful, because hindsight is there, and you know what's going to happen before Harry and Bob do. I also didn't realize that this scene had played out similarly in bakerybard and beachkid's Six Times Things Did Not Turn Out As Bob Expected, and One Time They Did. I highly recommend that fic too.
* The First Lover - Harry is a guy who hasn't had a lot of people to love in his life, so when he gets a chance, it's fast and deep. :D Just out of curiosity, what do you think of Dieter? Would you be interested in seeing him again? I'm always curious what people think in terms of an original character.
* The First Confidant - I know that Bob ended up absorbing Ebenezar in the TV series, but I really did like how Ebenezar had a position on the Council, and that he knew Harry's mom. I still have no idea why book!Harry and Ebenezar haven't had a long talk about Harry's mom, but I dunno. Maybe it'll happen later in the book series.
* The First Return - Heh. I hadn't thought of doing Bob's POV (mostly because the vignettes were supposed to be major points in Harry's life), but I will definitely think about it. *nodnod*
* The First Heart-to-Heart - My personal view of Ebenezar is that he's been alive for long enough that things will happen in their own time. Stuff like Kemmler has to be taken care of, but at the same time, things like feelings and relationships take their own time, regardless of how much is forced and how much is left to its own devices. I hadn't realized that that phrase also applied to Harry/Bob, but it totally does! :D
* The First Epiphany - Harry had to go through something where he was faced with the idea of not being able to see Bob again? It actually took me a while to write this and the one before it, so I'm glad that it worked, even after the massive block I had while trying to figure out how to get Harry over this hurdle.
* The First Confrontation - Yay! I'm glad that worked. <3 Poor Bob. And poor Harry. I figure that they've fought at some point, but Harry doesn't do something monumentally stupid during the series, so maybe thehy already dealt with it before.
* The First Oath - I think there was also an element of Harry not thinking that Bob in small space = bad, so he was trying to get past it as quickly as possible, and he's a guy. *pets the two of them*
* The First Meeting of Minds - The symbol will either be dealt with in the new series, or I might just say that the symbol was the presence of Justin's and Bob's magic that Harry ended up using in Finders Keepers. I dunno about that. Durr.
* The First Spring Cleaning - I always thought it was interesting that Bob never talked about his past on the show, like, "I remember back in the 1500s when I was in the guardianship of Blah. He had a case similar to this, and blah blah blah." And I wanted to include some background for him. Granted, it only hinted at the fact that Bob was a blacksmith in this universe I came up for him, but it set up a few things. *^^*
