I giggled when Buffy started to blame Willow for her lusty thoughts. Denial is so funny sometimes.

Awww... jealous alt-Faith is adorable in her moodiness. At least this one was mature enough to admit what's eating her (albeit not in a straightforward way). Her and canon-b are really a pair. Buffy slipping up with that, "I was straight!" line. LoL! I can imagine these two sitting there and eyeing each other. Squinting and raising eyebrows. Barely holding on to their control. Buffy trying to escape out of that conversation... Hahaha! Some more talking. All that emotion brimming in the surface. And then realisation comes!

Fuffy!!! *rolls in bed in excitement. Maybe that's why I had a fever today. This was the last thing I read last night*

Man, what I would give to see something like this happen on TV.

But why did you have to make Faith so sad and guilty? I know, I know. Because for all her hoping and flirting with canon-B, she still loves her Buffy and wishes for her return. This is just sad. Sad. Sad. Sad. I blame you for my sadness.

Author's Response:

I do live to make others sad. It's one of my joys in life. You want to see it on TV?? You perv.

I didn't find Faith that adorable. I would probably kick her. Just say what you mean and don't be an ass! Then again, she is Faith after all, so she can't be completely mature and level-headed. :p

I need beer. Get me beer! Hugs are okay too. Give it to me with the beer. Also a sandwich. Hahaha! Ok, teasing. I know all I'll get is a kick.

I feel sorry for these two. I can't fault Faith for going down that path of guilt. She's still very much in love with her B. Poor Buffy. Just when things were starting to look up in this world, she's reminded again of how complicated it is being the stranger.

I actually liked Dawn here. Especially when she figured out that the two had sex just by their awkward interaction. At least she's not as much a brat as she was in the previous chapters.

Favorite part was, "... Faith’s hands, Faith’s mouth, her trembling limbs, her perfect rasping breaths. All of it had crept somewhere under her skin, moving and rearranging her so that they’d fit together so perfectly, just the way it felt like they should."

Sometimes I forget you can write sweet, romantic, things like this. tongue.gif

Author's Response:

No beer. Haven't you heard, beer makes you a cave slayer?

Dawn's very perceptive. :p

So your favorite part was actually what I added later and you hadn't seen. I wonder if it's that good, or you like the surprise?

Uncle Rory is lucky he hasn't met Buffy's fist. The picture you've described of the green motiff, and Dawn's puffy sleeves, made me laugh. I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who was forced to wear a dress in a wedding. Except that Buffy is such a pretty lady that anything will end up looking perfect. I had to google Mucinex. Hahaha!

When Buffy said, "I want to talk to you all the time and tell you how sorry I am...", she sounded... Like you? How weird is that? I feel like cringing when they started talking about the heavy stuff in the middle of the dance floor. Buffy and her timing. LoL.

"What I had before, with her... I never knew people could be that happy, you know?" She looked away, her face wistful. "Now she's gone, but here you are. And I'm looking at you and I'm thinking... maybe you're supposed to be here." ~~ This. Faith being honest with Buffy. I know some emotions need to be explained using a thousand words. But sometimes the fewest words can also say the most. Then the next few sentences after this -_- argh!

You know, I have a thing about confessions written in letters. Or just emotions in letters. Or maybe just Buffy and letters. Yes, the last.

"...so she headed back to Xander’s (gorgeous, amazing, who did that kitchen?) kitchen" ~~ LoL. Faith, that is unbecoming of a lady. Oh wait.

“You’re supposed to be here. But you’re not. I don’t even know if you’re… if you’re okay, or if you died, and I am so lost. I am so lost without you.” She leaned forward, her palms pressing down into the marker, shoulders beginning to shake. “I feel like I’m betraying you. How stupid is that? How fucking stupid is that? You left me.” Sobbing now, she slumped down, her head on her forearms. “You left me.” ~~ Picturing Faith S7 doing this. Broke my heart. :((

God that ending. I wish I could read the letter. This still makes me feel so much. You know I'm all for fairytale sappy endings. Sex is also good. But you always get me with the Ten-Roads cliffhanger/good-things-can-only-happen-from-here kinda ending. My heart.

Author's Response:

I know, right? Buffy was feeling charitable because it's a wedding. Mucinex I guess is an inside jokes for we USians. :)

Buffy's timing is impeccable! Gotta talk while she has Faith captive. 

Darn, I didn't succeed in making you cry? I guess I should have included the letter. :p There's always the next story!!

I just realised that in this world, Faith doesn't have to runaway *far* whenever she has issues with Buffy. She can escape to her own friends. Get some time to gather her thoughts. I'm glad Xander and Oz told her that her sleeping with Buffy is understandable. All that introspection is never healthy. She needs someone other than herself to let her know it is ok.

Tara as Buffy's friend is also great. She can provide comfort to Buffy, free from the history of the alt+Buffy.

Buffy, why do you have to dominate the conversation every time? This isn't your world. That isn't your Faith. You don't get to give the speech all the time. And you can't go hitting alt+Faith like that.

I still can't believe you have only 1 chapter left. How are you supposed to fix that?

Author's Response:

You know how it ends! Hah!

Her friendship with Xander is a good point, and I didn't intentionally write it thinking 'Faith doesn't have to go on her disappearing act,' but it's very true. She has a support system because these are her friends too. 

Asking why Buffy has to dominate a convo is like asking why the sun rises. :p

Hahaha well thank you for writing this. Out of spite or not, you still managed to make it so I'm aching for Tara and Faith.

I didn't hate the story. I couldn't hate your writing anyway. Them taking comfort in each other felt a bit rushed, though I can imagine being in that situation and thinking that I won't really turn my back on someone offering comfort like that. Not when I know theyre feeling as awful as I am.

I did shiver a bit when you said something about hands between legs. Like when I shiver after taking the first bite of an apple. Not an awful feeling

"Maybe this was the real reason Slayers didn’t live long.  They died of broken hearts. " ~~ awww that line.

I liked the conversation between Buffy and Faith. Seemed so natural. Forced conversations are the hardest to read. Badly written can be pretty hard to read. This one was easy. I loved the simple bantering. Like two friends being awkward after not talking for ages. Then Faith offers the friends with benefits thing, and it's like I'm sitting there cringing in anxiety as I wait for Buffy's reaction. Then that kiss, and fantasies. Loved it!

You know it feels like this is the first time I'm reading all of these posted stories. Refreshing, in a weird kind of way. Horray for reasons for rereading great fluffy stories! I didn't know I haven't reviewed this fic. Trying to look at the date it was posted. Must have been one of those days when the earth swallowed me. But now I've been spitted out. Yay!

Wow. You continue to impress. I'm glad I'm re-reading this. Totally appreciate the beauty of the last two chapters. Where to begin with the praises? Maybe I'd just highlight the points that made the most impression:

Faith and her 'hatred' of showing her vulnerability. It's just the right amount of angst to pull me in without me pulling my hair out :P

And I loved how 'Buffy' described how she looked after that first kiss. The smile. The pleasure. And that of showing vulnerability cause it lead to nowhere

Buffy and her "Oh" so slow realizations... funny. You still manage to insert humor in your chaps. Makes me smile in between the seriousness.

Kisses... sweet, lady kisses. This chapter was really nice. I loved the internal dialogues of Buffy and Faith. How Faith was crying uncontrollably, and how Buffy was sharing in her pain. And then them ending up kissing again. Err kinda realistic. But totally swoon worthy.

I loved everything, except for what Giles is doing to Faith. But that's part of the plot, i kNow! LoL!



Author's Response:

I'm glad all your hair's still intact, dear Topak! My Buffy isn't always bright, but her heart's in the right place! :p Glad you are enjoying it after I twisted your arm into a re-read. LOL.

Action packed chapter... woot woot! Well I would have wanted for Faith to kill at least one of those vamps. But I guess you gotta give the scoobies a chance since they’ve been pretty supportive.

Ah... Buffy. I don’t know what you think you’re doing with all that touching, but Faith has a reason to act all confused and effed up cause of it. Not that I am hating it, nope. Hahah... I like it cause it’s sooooo telling of your attraction.

I loved the scene in the motel most. When Buffy leaned over Faith, whispering to each other. Aaahh the slow buildup is perfect. I loved it. Darnl, I can’t find the perfect word, but I’m all tingly inside. I want more.



Author's Response:

LOL. Tinglyness? Sounds good. :p It's funny, I have to go back and skim the chapter to know what you're talking about because I haven't read it in so long, haha. The bad thing is that now I go back and see how good this is and I'm like, I need to edit the ones I'm working on now, make sure they have the same feel. Grrrr. :p

Oh Giles, you’re definitely gonna get it from the slayers. How can you go through with this, and let Faith fight alone and powerless?

I just hope Faith manages to get over this betrayal. I’m guessing she will, cause Buffy did kiss her that morning, and searched and rescued her tonight. That’s proof enough that someone cares for her a lot more than normal.

I liked your Cordelia. Underneath that mean facade is a kindhearted person. Sounds like a butt we know, yeah? *snickers*

Also, why did Giles say “Finally” after he mentioned that Faith’s gonna get her own watcher?



Author's Response:

Well, look what he did to Buffy, and he cared a lot more for her than Faith. He does feel badly about it though. He said finally because Faith is a handful and he wants to pass her off! :p

Haha, you are not quite as tactless as Cordelia, but I agree with your overall assessment. :p

"Buffy. Just Buffy."

Awww... If I wasn't crushing on faith yet, I would be doing so after that.

I'm glad that Buffy's not acting all scared and in denial of her 'strange' feelings for Faith. I know they haven't put a label on what's happening yet, but I'm glad she's still making extra effort to make faith feel that she's really important to her.

And i am glad that Cordelia's not acting all homophobe. Or freaking out for that matter. I love her and her strange way of showing that she's supportive of this 'budding' thing between the slayers.

Wesley's such an ass. But that's expected, right? We gotta have other things to hate, aside from Giles, and the council.

Ok... Gonna see if there are more slayer kisses in the next chapter.

Author's Response:

Cordelia's pretty great in this story if I do say so myself. :p Wesley's an ass but he's a cute ass, in my opinion. All his pompous blustering. His dorkiness. I love him. <3 :p

Christmas and slayer kisses. What else can I ask for? Ummm... More slayer kisses. Hahaha. One-track mind all right. But you know how sleep deprivation is causing my brain to degenerate.

From friends to 'in a relationship', Buffy is truly full of surprises. I have to side with Faith on that part about her being a bit self centered. But Faith has her problems as well. Walking out on Buffy when it's a very important holiday. But then again I might too if I almost got killed cause of someone I trusted.

I for one am not the least bit perturbed that the Christmas eve turned into a nightmare. They're teenagers and they have their issues. I can't wait for them to make up :)

I'm just glad that Giles has started making things right. He has to work extra hard to get Faith's forgiveness. I wanna see how he'll do it.

Author's Response:

Haha, at least there were some kisses before their next blowout. Never boring, our girls. ;) Don't worry, there will be more kisses coming. And then some. :p

layer dream was weird. I wasn't able to follow. LoL! I think me and Buffy are in the same boat. Slow and confused. Heheh.

Our girls are really cute... Hahaha. You're right, they're acting like a couple of lovesick teenagers. Cute and dramatic. Buffy's hiding at Xander's, and Faith's all guilty. But the moment they see each other, their first instinct is to make each other jealous. Hahaha!

I like it that Cordy's becoming good friends with Faith, looking out after her and not letting her act impulsively. Faith needs a friend all her own. And Cordy's strong enough to put up with her shit.

Yay for Wesley making an effort to 'court' Faith. You like Wes? I didn't know you were into pretty boys. *snickers*

Author's Response:

Haha, I am into stories of redemption, and Wesley had one! He became quite bad ass.

Yay, you like the Cordy friendship! :D I love the two of them as friends, idk why. It just sort of happened in this fic. I didn't intend it from the beginning. :)

“Is it like in the slayer handbook that all slayers must be morons?” Hahahah. Made me snort when I read this. Your wit is showing. *and I'm suddenly reminded of your mean wit. *...waits for you to call me jerk*

Cordy. I wish the real Cordy really did become Faith's friend. How it would have changed things, I dunno. But I love how she's not the least be affected by Faith's mean, snarky remarks.

“No, I'm just wondering because she's all `Dances with Nerds' and you're pretending not to be in love with like the only person who can stand you, so… I'm just saying, it seems to be a trend.” Hahaha... darn you're good.

Oooh Wesley's got his own personal drama. Now he's got more reason to get Faith back. I just hope he tries harder this time, but with less bluntness. I am rooting for him to succeed.

Smiled when I read that note at the bottom. I asked myself where you were going with the chapter. The baby was returned to his family. No one died. And you showed us that Faith and Buffy can work together even if they're awkward around each other, the way only exes and people skirting around their emotions for each other get awkward.

I'm thinking you wanted to show us that relationships, even B and F's, don't happen overnight. It's not the best chapter (don't kill me), but I still enjoyed it.



Author's Response:

Haha, that's okay. It is a filler chapter. I'm giving them a bit of time off drama before we move into the next part. Also I needed that baby for reasons you will see later. :p

I'm happy you didn't end the year end with everyone feeling shty.

Glad that Wesley chose to be honest with Faith, telling her the real reason why he thinks they need each other. I think at this point, Faith needs people to treat her with respect, and not look at her like a mistake. You're intentionally making us like Wesley, no?

the best part of the chapter is when Faith and Buffy kiss and make up. Ahhhh love how you make people act all crazy and moody, especially these two teen girls. Loving the interactions between them. So realistic. Kinda reminds me of people

Sincerely,
The ever faithful jerk

Author's Response:

Yes, of course, Wesley is intentional. smile.gif I told you he's not such a bad guy. He finds comfort in rules and academics because he had an emotionally abusive parent. Deep down, he can really relate to Faith, and I try to trickle that in during the later chapters. :)

This chapter is another enjoyable one. Do you ever do boring?

I like how you structure your chapters into these sections that fit perfectly together. The one at the motel with Buffy, it sounded so much like new relationships. The giddiness and excitement is so obvious between two. I can't help but smile at how they interacted with each other. You write things descriptively, it's so easy to visualize them interacting (*tingles*).

Then comes Cordy. Hahaha. She's so perfect for Faith. As a friend of course. They can act as blunt towards each other, and none would take it personally. So refreshing. Cordy is hilarious.

So I've never actually mentioned anything about this impending threat to the slayer(s?). Sorry. Right now I'm more focused on the developing emotions between the two slayers. Also, I get so swept up in the interactions between the characters that the other story line slips through from my mind. Well that, and I lack sleep. Hahah.

Author's Response:

I'm trying to remember the earlier half of the story but all I can picture is the, uh... Uh... Hahahaha! I'm really trying to remember!

Oh yeah, wesley!!! He's making me like him a lot now. What he did for faith, totally the thing I would have loved to see in the series. They look like brother and sister now. Except that Wes is a refined gentleman and Faith's a street punk. I'm loving the fact that you seem to be giving Faith the opportunities she didn't have in canon.

That last bit about Faith contemplating about her developing feelings for Buffy, that was well written. Simply stated but the reasoning behind her fears made sense. Not made up or over the top. She's honest and scared, but she's not angry or in denial. I like :)

Another thing, that fuffy scene was so hot yet funny. Reminded me of things ;) now I'm all relaxed again thanks to you.

Way to go from hot sex to 'action and suspense'. Wow! You are really awesome with the transition of events. I enjoyed the chapter very much. It's really like watching tv, except I have to read. But you already get what I'm saying, cause I've been saying the same thing, like in every chapter. You write so descriptively that it feels like I'm watching everything happen *now give me chocolates like you've promised* :P

Whaaaat!?! That thing about Faith being transported to the past, and her being the one to resuscitate (well, work on resuscitating) Buffy, that was just amazing. Wherever are you getting your ideas? You're totally taking advantage of all these holes in series. I'm not gonna complain. NOPE. I like how you manipulate the storyline in series to fit your needs.

I do have a question. Got all confused with the Vamp Wesley. Is this the past or an alternate world. Cause well, if it's the past... then the present Wesley should be gone, right? Blame my exhaustion for the slow comprehension. But help?

And the Mayor appears... ummm... where is Chapter 15?

Author's Response:

Haha, I think I was confusing a lot of people with that Wesley thing. The demon, the vamps introduced to that scene (Wesley and whoever else) are all from the future. So sometime in the future, Wes will vamp. Faith now has to worry about how to stop that from happening.

Chapter 15 is... uh, coming. :) At some point. :p

You've updated!?!? Sorry if it took me a while to review. I'm as slow as a turtle with the reading. I had to start 4 chapters back to get a sense of the plot. It didn't hurt that two of the chapters have pretty hot fuffy, lol. Kidding aside, I really love the way Buffy and Faith's relationship develop. It's so 'teenage' romance.

Anyway, I'm glad I've got a weekly dose of your fiction again. Cause your love stories always make me feel happy, and that goes for those moments when I want to pull my hair out.

And I still love the Cordy/Faith friendship. Haha. Who can stand up to a butthead? A nice bitch. You should have an idea.

I wasn't too happy when I read about the Mayor. I really don't like when evil comes disrupting the fairytale fuffy.

I'm loving how you write the interactions between Buffy and Faith. I enjoyed reading Faith's reaction to the idea of Joyce finding out. It's sweet how Faith softens like a kitten when Buffy starts to cuddle her. Total softy. Reading this always reminds me of the feeling of being young and in love. It's not a bad feeling :)

Hahaha. Thank you for the shoutout :) Back then, I didnt even want to read this cause it was unfinished. I was pretty hopeless after chap 14, thinking you gave up on this fic. You are a pretty tough person to harass, nag, bully, plead with, and all. I thought our efforts were fruitless. Thank you for working on this again. Now start on that new fic! :P

I like that you found a way to slyly call me a bitch in your review, butthead. :D What a little jerk.

Thanks for saying it reminds you of being young and in love, and they're such a 'teen' romance. Makes me feel like I'm doing it right. :)

It wouldn't be fuffy without a little evil though, so you'll have to grin and bear it. :p

Do I need to do extra groveling cause I'm seriously late in my reviews? But you already knew my initial reaction to these chapters *puppy sad eyes*. Fine, obviously my attempt at being forgivable is ineffective. I might as well do the review thing. Hahaha.

Sometimes I feel like these characters are so real. For a moment I was thinking, how young Buffy and Faith were and how I couldn't and wouldn't be able to deal with their problems. Then I realized that this is a story. Hahaha! I'm a dork. Or you make me forget reality. Either way, I'm weird. I got so caught up at the idea of Buffy worrying about her gf, and Faith worrying about everything else that's not her girlfriend. And I was like, *That's too much paranoia at 17!!!*

So yeah, I get so caught up I dread 'finding out' what will happen in the chapter. Cause you always, always have a way of twisting my guts. You already knew about my thoughts about angst. I guess my resistance to read is related to how much I hated seeing Faith act so fearful, insecure, and unwittingly vulnerable. The psychosis is making me anxious. I cannot take the suspense (as if i haven't read this yet!), lol.

Maybe I have partially cleared this from my brain cells. But I totally forgot that scene where Faith launches herself and kisses Buffy smack on the lips. Hahaha... I really lacked sleep then, huh. Oh boy... instant coming out to Mom.

“I would never do anything to hurt you,” she promised fiercely. “I love you.” ~ HA! I caught it this time!!! *my hyperacidity is on overdrive cause I'm so anxious at this point!!!*

It's 1:13 AM and this butted needs to sleep. Wait for my review tomorrow? :D

You're sick, Topak! :pYou want to bury the Mayor alive? I believe canon was that he was only invincible until the ascension, so he would have died in the vault you put him in. I love Wesley too. :)
