The idea of The Shards is so freaking fantastic! Those things do not need to be charged up on Slayer juice again.

I hate that Faith's lost her Slayer mojo, but I had to laugh at Cordy's Wesley love. That just never gets old, even when it's happening at the very worst time. LOL

"His valiant position of cowering behind Willow pretty much kept him safe from any chance of actual danger." HAHAHA!!!

Great how Buffy went after Faith:

"I know this is horrible," Buffy said. "But you don't have to go through it alone." I love her and how much she truly cares about Faith.

This was just flat-out, rip your guts out and stomp on them, heartbreaking:

"This is all I've ever had. It's all I am." WAAAHHH!!!

Toss in her bottom lip's trembling, despite the fact that she's sucking it in...WAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Fucking Council! Worst timing ever and I HATE them so much!!!

Buffy is so freaking bad ass, it's all kinds of awesome! And it's awesomer in a whole other way when she begs them: "Please don't do this." She knows how serious it is, that Faith will be lost forever, and she pleads with the most coldhearted asshole in the world to save Faith.

Hi. My name is Bobbi and I am a Buffy lover :) :) :)

Whoa, I'm thinking Wesley's lucky to have a working spine, even if he is innocent this time around. Giles can't even calm her down and I love what she says to him:

"No Giles, you have no idea. The Council think they can just play with other people's lives and get away with it. Well we're not your puppets, or your weapons. We're not here to live and die at your beck and call. So I will do whatever I have to do, and if you have a problem with that, then I strongly suggest you wait in the car."

The Slayer is a tad upset. Uh-oh.

Another marvelous chapter. I am really loving this fic :) :) :)

You know, I'm starting to get this sneaking suspicion that you might be a closet Buffy fan. :O Though I'll hand it to you, you hide it well. ;)

As the ancient proverb reads: A Buffy angered is a Buffy who is going to eat you alive.

I'm glad you're still enjoying it, and thanks again. :D
