I probably have more to say on my own story a little later (harmony_lover got the whole Director's Commentary version in an email since she was my beta) but I am glad you enjoyed it.

As for "Food for Thought", I liked the story but the one thing that drove me crazy about reading it was all the teenage slang (which of course added depth to "Jess")! I shudder at trying to 'translate' all that to normal English in my head. That's also one reason I did not peg you as the author; that, and the visuals. :-)
