Date Night 2 by lizardmm

Rated: Mature starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 23]
Summary:

Buffy's been fighting evil since she was a teen. Now, resettled in Cleveland, pregnant, and in a stable relationship with the only other person who can understand her completely, this should be the part of the story where she gets her happy ending. Right?

Oh, the First has a body!  I was defnitely not expecting that.

It's interesting to read the differences in how Faith and Buffy are dealing with their separation.  Faith is trying to get to Buffy while Buffy is trying to forget about Faith since she's been told she can't see her again.  It's hard to take a side since they're both doing what they're doing for good reasons.

I'm looking forward to what happens when they face each other and when Buffy confronts the First again about having a body!  :)



Author's Response:

I know, i thought all that back and forth was pretty fun to write and to get inside their heads.

The First has a body!  I wasn't expecting it either. It's one of those plot twists that come to you when you're 10 Chapters in and your Muse whispers in your ear and you're like OMG THIS IS HAPPENING. 

Thanks, Hayley!

Date: 09/02/2014 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 11: Fight

First, yay for a new chapter!

Second, yay they found each other! Well, Faith finally found Buffy but still love that they're together. It's easy to understand Buffy's conflicted feelings on leaving but I like that Faith is understanding and won't give up on her.

Hope to see another chapter in the not so distant future! :)



Author's Response:

I know, right? I'm paying the bills as an author right now, so I've just been focused on my original stories lately. BUT, I plan on working on the next chapter this week, so hopefully you'll see something new within the next few days :D

Thanks, Hayley, for sticking with this story!



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 09/11/2014 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 12: Corporeal

Wow, complications! 

Buffy and Faith definitely have some choices to make. I do like that Faith is more supportive and argumentative, even though it seems like she wants to.

Can't wait to read more! :)



Author's Response:

Thanks, Hayley :) I've been keeping these two in a kind of holding pattern while I got my Fuffy-writing legs back (it's like riding a bike), but now that I've got their voices back, expect this story to take off. So glad you're still invested! Thanks!



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 11/13/2014 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 13

Wow, nice ending to this chapter!

I like how Buffy corrects when Faith is called the other slayer. It shows that she knows Faith's issues with that without having to point it out. Faith is quick to defend Buffy in the chapter, too. I love it!

Can't wait to read what happens next! :)



Author's Response:

Thanks, Hayley :) I like how this one turned out, too. It should be disorienting coming back to these two after so many hyiatuses because I'm working on my original fiction, but fuffy is like that long-time friend that you don't talk to every day, but when you get together it's like no time has passed :)

So I was reading this again this morning and thought I'd leave a review here so you're reminded of this fic's awesomeness. :)

I love how all the characters act throughout. All of them have their faults that they must deal with but it's easy to see how they've grown by the end. It's great to read how Buffy and Faith's interaction increases so that by the end they're able to express the feelings they have for each other. It's such a natural progression and doesn't feel forced. 

I love Kate in this fic, too. What a fun additional character! Reading how uncomfortable Angel was around her was fun!

Anyway, this is definitely one of my favorites and enjoyed reading again. Just fantastic! :D

YAY for new fic!!!!! :)

This is a very intriguing setup.  I like the idea of having Buffy visit Faith while she was in a coma.  It seems very believable that she would do that because she wants to repay Faith for how she helped them.  Added bonus of having Joyce there because "she's mom".  Love it!

Can't wait to read more of this one! :)



Author's Response:

Well, I figured that, since the old fics were being problematic, I would try something new :)  Happy to have you along for the ride, Hayley!  Here's hoping the story continues to intrigue :)



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 09/17/2013 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Everyone's reactions are to be expected.  It's very realistic that Willow would be the one to take it the hardest that Buffy wants to help Faith.  Maybe it's a best friend thing.  Love that Buffy pointed out that maybe they didn't give her a proper chance the first time around.

I like how everything is being planned out and that they need to take turns watching Faith.  The fact they feel the need to watch over Faith just in case is very believable.

Great chapter! :)



Author's Response:

I agree, I definitely think it's a best friend thing!  Willow's not exactly angry or mad; she's just hurt and confused.  Plus, she's not the most confident person, so I'm sure she might even feel that their friendship is threatened.  Silly Willow; Buffy will always be her bestie!

 

Thanks for reading, Hayley.  More to come soon :)



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 02/07/2015 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3

So I read this instead of starting my history midterm...

Worth it!

The mutual mistrust between the two is so natural, like there's no other way for them right now. I especially liked Faith's reaction when she got to Giles' place. If I were her, I'd expect an ambush, too.

I love Joyce so much! She's doing so much to make Faith feel comfortable. Too bad not many others feel the same but that's kind of expected.

Loved the chapter! :)

So happy to see this fic!! :D

Intriguing start! I like the idea of having Faith and Buffy having similar symptoms that only ease when they're near each other. They even kind of act in similar ways which I'm sure confuses the rest of them.

It's interesting to read about how Faith feels about the rest of the gang. Definitely a little bitterness there but kind of justified as well. Love that last little part, too. Can't wait for the next part and read how they act when they're around each other again. :)



Author's Response:

Definate bitterness, a little prickliness, and oodles of tension hopefully :p

 

Thanks for reading. 



Reviewer: Hayley Signed

It looks like this hex isn't going to stop any time soon. Love it! :)

I love how Buffy is struggling with what she's feeling. She's being so resistant to what her body wants her to do. It makes me wonder how long she can hold out, especially with Faith likely being a willing participant. 

Great chapter! Can't wait to read what's next! :)

This was so cute and funny! Love how Faith's tail betrays her in that it shows what she's really feeling. Just so cute!

It's always fun when Buffy's the one who makes the first move, too. Maybe it's that she knows how Faith really feels because of the tail but still. It's not everyday she makes a move by sitting on Faith's lap. lol

Great story! :)



Author's Response:

I completely agree.  I do love seeing fics where Buffy make the first move.  It's always fun to mess with people's expectations a little bit ^^  And, well, Tara *had* to do something.  I mean, what if there was a demon out there that feeds off of unresolved sexual tension?  Slayer HQ would be doomed!   She's only looking out for everyone's safety  ;D

And thanks!  I'm so glad you liked it!

As I was reading this I kept thinking "no way she's waking up again". You have no idea how happy I am that I was wrong!

It's refreshing to read that Buffy doesn't hang on to her anger. She seems to realize there's more important issues than what happened in the past. Love how Faith acts throughout, too. She doesn't run and that's a nice change from other stories, too.

My favorite part though was how Joyce ended up comforting Faith that last night. Love that small action so much. Great story!



Author's Response:

Thank you! :) I would probably have dragged Buffy's forgiveness out a bit, but was limited by word count. :p

The Joyce part was such a throwaway line, but I guess it stood out because I think someone else mentioned it too. :)

Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 01/01/2014 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12

It's great to see that everyone is accepting Faith into the group and the day to day activities of the castle.  It's understandable that she would be a little nervous about them giving her a room and everything but at least she went along with getting everything.

Yay for kissing!  Talking is overrated when there's kissing.  I like that Buffy is insistent about Faith visiting and talking to her even though she's weak.

Can't wait for the next chapter!  :)



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 01/09/2014 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13

I love, love, love Buffy's reaction to seeing Dawn and Xander together. She went from homicidal to confused in a matter of minutes. I wonder what her next conversation with Dawn will be like. 

Having both Faith and Buffy second guessing themselves and what happened really works in this chapter. Buffy seems to just catch people kissing whereas Faith tries to even avoid the possibility of flirting with someone else. It shows they have the same worries and insecurities. 

Well done! :)



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 01/23/2014 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14

It's nice to see that Buffy isn't running from what she feels for Faith. It seems like they're both nervous but they're willing to go with it. 

I like that there isn't some big drama surrounding the fact they're into each other. Everyone's fairly accepting and that's great to read. Great chapter!



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 01/23/2014 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15

That is a fantastic ending to a fantastic story! :)

I really like that final showdown between Faith and Satsu. It feels like Faith really needed that as some sort of closure. It also showed that as much as she might hate someone she won't kill. Shows a lot of growth in her.

That final scene with the two of them was very well written! Loved it! Great story! :)

I like this intro. It sums up everything that needs to be remembered and sets up Buffy's wish perfectly.  It's nice to see Buffy have a little regret after everything, too. I always like stories where Buffy thinks she can change things.

You definitely have me interested. :)



Author's Response:

Thanks for your thoughts!

As I said in the intro, the initial idea is one borrowed from another author, but its one I thought had plenty of potential.

The question is, how do you rat ethe other chapters? Any good? I always like hearing from other writers.



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 01/16/2014 Title: Chapter 2: Faith, Hope And Tricks: Part 1 (So last year)

It's really interesting how Buffy is trying hard to change her actions but still reacts the same if she's not thinking about it. Of course, she has no control over other people's reactions to her new outlook. It makes me wonder if there are things that will stay the same even if Buffy wants it to change.

Loved that Buffy wants Faith to move in, by the way! :)



Author's Response:

Hi Again,

Buffy struggling against what she can and can't change will become pretty important later on.

And yeah, I think Buffy would want Faith to move out of that crummy motel, but Faith has her pride so...

I'm very pleased your finding this interesting, thank you for commenting.



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 01/16/2014 Title: Chapter 3: Faith, Hope And Tricks: Part 2 (Kicking Ass And Kissing Toast)

I like how Buffy second guesses how she's going about her second chance.  It's like she wants to change everything but now realizes there could be problems with that. I liked how she interacted with Faith, too. It seems like she tried hard to not be shocked. :)

Interested in seeing how she treats dating Scott this time around, especially with her trying to concentrate on changing things with Faith.



Author's Response:

Buffy's trying to figure out the rules as she goes, she's a smart cookie and knows about cause and effect.

And, yeah, Buffy wants to try again with Scott- I know this is a Fuffy story but Buffy doesn't know that! The poor girl has to come to that realisation in her own time...

Thank you for the feedback, always greatly appreciated.



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 01/17/2014 Title: Chapter 4: Beauty And The Beasts: Part 1 (Girl Talk And Boy Trouble)

The way you wrote the argument was very realistic! They don't know each other very well yet so it's easy to believe Faith wouldn't be as understanding as the rest of them.

Now I'm intrigued at what will happen with Angel added to the mix and how much Buffy will stick to the timeline. Good job! :)



Author's Response:

Yeah, Buffy biting the bullet was a risk, ansd I figured Faith would react that way, not understanding everything yet.

I'm glad you're enjoying it.



Reviewer: Hayley Signed
Date: 01/17/2014 Title: Chapter 5: Beauty And The Beasts: Part 2 (Truly, Madly, Creepy)

I think my favorite part in this chapter was Faith's reaction to Buffy's apology. It's interesting that she thought she was the one who blew it but it seems like if Buffy didn't try to apologize she wouldn't have found out how Faith felt about their fight.

Now that Scott's friend are still in the picture I'm curious how that will change Buffy's relationship with him. Good chapter!



Author's Response:

Heh, I wrote it that way because I'm pretty certain Faith hasn't had many friends (kinda confirmed when she tells Buffy that she's always been a loner), so she might not have experience with the ins and outs of falling out and then making up. Buffy on the other hand, has had plenty of experience of this (many because of Xander...).

Again, I'm glad you're enjoying it!
