Hello everyone, once more, and thank you all for your kind feedback
The next chapter, entitled 'For Your Ears Only', is half-finished, and should be done in time for the usual early-monday/late-sunday (adjust for time zone) posting. Those of you who liked seeing Tara be action girl, you'll like this one. Plus there's smut
CaptMurdock: Thanks. I think 'Shagging Like Bunnies' should be the subtitle for the whole story; every chapter will be named after a Bond movie, though I don't know what I'll do if this turns out longer than 22 chapters (20 plus Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again) - go find out some novel titles, I guess
"A wolverine in bunny clothing"
I don't know anything else Carly Simon's sung, but she's got a special place in my heart just for that song - that and 'All Time High' are my favourite 'Bond ballads' (I go for 'Goldfinger' and 'The World Is Not Enough' when I'm in the mood for classic Bond themes).
Stillrunning: Thanks. No, Daniel's not a strip club kind of guy, he has issues with smut
But it's a cute coincidence anyway, and kind of fitting for this story. Actually the big 'OZ' sign came about by accident, I figured a big sign would look neat and uber-corporate, but initialising Osbourne Industries to OI made it sound like a pissed-off London punk - "Oi!" So I went with Oz, seeing as I'd decided not to call Oz 'Oz' in this story. I guess 'Nobody Does It Better' would be the title song for this story, and the title sequence would consist of Willow and Tara dancing in underwear. Mmm...
Lt Sticks: Thanks
Wiccanbotanist/Agent Morning Bunny: Thanks. Yep, the Bunnies will indeed keep on coming
Meretricious: Thanks. Ouch, I know over-smile-face-pain all too well, glad you think it's worthwhile
Yeah, I did find myself thinking during 'Finding Miss Kitty' "The next one's
definitely going to be NC-17!" If I'd been in the mood for a serious (though not to say unfunny) story it would have been a sequel to my old Farscape fic Lullaby, 'cause sci-fi doesn't get sexier than Farscape. As it turns out my serious-story-writing capacity is being used elsewhere just now, so silliness it is!
Agent Pineapple Bunny: Did I just almost get invited on a date?!? Who says writing fanfic doesn't pay off Although I'd probably have to admit that my first response to "What do you do with a naked woman?" would be "Write a story about her", which is admittedly handy for being a writer, but also kind of, well, 'quirky' 
I actually like Oz a lot, he had his flaws and made some mistakes (including that really big one) but so did everyone else, really. I think you have to like the villain in a Bond story - I mean take Goldfinger, the guy was cool. "You expect me to talk?" "No Mister Bond, I expect you to die!" Respect 
Likewise Oz, I hope he'll be a cool-to-watch villain - granted he's tried to have Tara killed once already, which is a big no-no, but he followed the rules - don't watch personally to make sure it's done right, assign task to incompetant lackey... I hope no-one takes it personally
MissKittys Ball O Yarn: Thanks - and welcome to the team, Agent Yarn Bunny. Your avatar joins the others on the Ministry's Top Agents page, thanks for standing up for smut
Agent Whipped Bunny: Glad you like Mastermind-Oz. Yeah, his lackey is lacklustre, but where's the fun in being a Bond villain if you don't make all the usual Bond villain mistakes? I'm really pleased you thought the love scene was different, I spent ages thinking it through - given that most of this story is smut, smut, smut, I wanted something different for Willow and Tara's first love scene together (awake) - still hot and funny, but with more of a romantic, soulful feel to it. It seemed fitting. Now, of course, on to the smut! (P.S. Barbara Bach is totally hot )
xonethousandtears08x: Thanks, more is on the way.
Cyd: Thanks. I'm having fun devising espionage uses for adult toys, there'll be plenty more I've been listening to that song a lot since I decided to put it into the story, it has taken on a lovely added meaning now
Agent Wicked Bunny: Thanks. You got a video of them? You lucky bunny!
Agent Wimpy Bunny: Thanks. Yep, big office, big desk, big chair, short master villain Oz wouldn't be a real supervillain if he didn't subscribe to the 'Huge and Chrome' school of villainous architecture. Good luck studying smut, I hear the Ministry's exams are a lot more fun than normal universities
Agent Dream Bunny: Thanks. Yeah Oz tried to have Tara killed, but he's a villain, he's got to do stuff like that. Besides, what good is it being a super-agent if no-one tries to kill you every once in a while?
Arwen: Thanks
Hidden Watson/Agent Hidden Bunny: Thanks. Glad I could cheer you up. I can't necessarily promise any Saint references (never saw it), but there will definitely be attempts at Avengers goodness. Aside from the name 'the Ministry' there hasn't been that much so far, what I mainly intended to take from Steed and Emma was the kind of knowing banter they always used to do - with Willow and Tara no longer on eggshells around each other, hopefully I'll be able to do a bit of that. I can promise, however, that at some point - sooner or later - Willow and Tara will have a scene as the Avengers, one in one of Emma's luscious catsuits, the other in a suit with a bowler hat and flower in her coat pocket
Agent Hot Tamale: Thanks A lot of the upcoming chapters are planned only vaguely so far, there's lots of space other songs might fit in - for sure 'Nobody Does It Better' got preferential treatment because it's a Bond song (plus I particularly like it), but there's no rule that I can't use others. And I'm glad you like the avatar - I thought there should be one for Hot Tamale, as well as Agent Mexican Spy Bunny. Plus, being pounced on, not a problem at all I don't think fraternisation is frowned upon at the Ministry... more like expected
Agent Terra Bunny: Thanks. Smut Master, huh? I agree, a remake of Spy Who Loved Me would rock. With Famke Janssen as Anya Amasova. And Angelina Jolie as Bond 
Shawna/Agent Unicorn Bunny: Thanks. More Smut Bunny action (both kinds) will be here soon.
Idgie: Thanks I'm having a great time playing with all the toys of the genre - helps that I love Bond films to begin with.
Erwfan2002: Thanks. Yeah, the mystery voice... she'll be revealed soon, but not right away.
Agent Pastel Bunny: Thanks. I just had to have Harmony. It was odd, in all her appearances in Buffy I hadn't really liked her much - her slo-mo slap-fight with Xander was good, but as a character I never really clicked with her. Then the last season of Angel came around, and just as everything else about the show (for me, anyway) seemed to fall to bits, Harmony was suddenly gold. I swear I watched the whole season right to the end just for her.
Interesting specilation about the mystery voice. Yes she is the wetsuit-wearing bad girl from the opening scene (identity concealed by night vission goggles - handy things, those), and yes, she and Faith did appear at the same time, and exchange a whack or two in passing. There's no absolutely-certain mention that the mystery voice is a double agent, but then again, she did know for sure that Tara was a Bunny, and the Ministry is pretty top secret, especially the Bunnies. And you can bet that Willow and Tara will run into her sooner or later - I think you'll know her when you see her 
Agent Brer Rabbit: Classic! That Tara theme song is just wonderful, that's definitely going on the Smut Bunnies soundtrack. Kudos to you Mmm, Sky Captainy goodness... I promise there'll be a lot more of Tara, Bunny of the Impossible, to come - as will become apparent (and the gym scene was kind of a hint) the action-girl stuff is her speciality, besides supervillain profiling (Willow's two 'super abilities' are hacking and driving/piloting). I just have this odd compulsion to always have Tara be the action character - I just realised you have to go all the way back to 'Shadows' for a story I've done where Tara's not the biggest ass-kicker in the fic. Even in 'Midsummer Night's Dream' she was kind of butch
Oz does owe some of his supervillain character to Drax - then again, in a lot of ways Drax was the ultimate Bond villain, he followed all the rules of villainy. Enormously wealthy, unflappable, penchant for casually-threatening remarks, always engineered needlessly complicated deaths for Bond and never stuck around to see him die - he even had one of the best henchman in the game, Jaws, and dutifully double-crossed him because that's what a supervillain's supposed to do. Plus his master plan was the most audaciously ridiculous one ever - gotta hand it to the guy, he had supervillainy down to an art, and he never let things like reason or common sense get in the way.
Debra: Thanks True, it's not the deepest romantic story... 'Substantiated and Deep Love Bunnies' That can be the sequel I did try to make their first love scene more love than smut though, I thought they deserved that. Now, though, on with the smut!
(Plus, with 'guaranteed smut in every chapter', they had to get together pretty soon - there's only so many times they could masturbate in the shower or molest each other in their sleep, after all. And what I'm hoping for here is more variety of smut - each smut scene, I hope, will have its own unique 'signature', so I'll be trying not to repeat myself.)
Agent Tempest Bunny: Thanks. Well, it is indeed 'someone else' - I didn't actually expect Faith to be fingered as the traitor (that sounds dirty... but fun) 
As Pastel Bunny noted, Faith and the 'hench-wench' faced off in the opening chapter, so they're definitely not one and the same. However, the hench wench isn't just some random villainess...
Well, lovely readers, time for me to go get some sleep... it's 2am, and I need to see House of Flying Daggers tomorrow, then write more hot smut and espionage action What's in store for the next chapter? Well, a little teaser: fast cars, banana-flavoured lubricant, Tara in flight, some computer hacking action, leather outfits, and a blindfold. Until then, have fun and rejoice in the existence of smut!

That Just Makes Him A Horrible Man! And Yay That Will And Tara Hooked Up! They Are Too Cute!
~*Shawna*~
I don't usually get this emotional...but your the best boss, General, a Bunny can ask for...Oh I'm sorry I shouldn't have been so overly affecionate...I know fraternization is frowned upon...*I hope not*...and that was a bit inappropriate...you are after all my superior.

I'm a lucky, lucky bunny. But I digress...)
.
. that's for trying to kill Tara 
And I completely agree with you about Harmony, she was hilarious on Angel and much funnier and better used than she'd been on Buffy. Oh and before I forget, big Hi to a fellow Aussie! I'm a Melbournite myself. 
was rather spectacular. Looooove the comments about Willow's kung fu 
and celebration 
Pastel Bunny signing off 'til next time
