Yes!! Worth the wait. So lovely to have you're portral of Faith actually getting a word in to explain what she's feeling. And wonderful to read Buffy wanting to workout her feelings instead of shutting them out.

To all those fiction writers out in the cold I bring you the gift of blankets and hot cocoa.

Great fic, excited for an update. Was beginning to forget what was happening with this one. Love the way you've incorporated cannon with alternate ideas. Also very frustrated by the Scoobs, accurate though. Friggin Willow. Can't wait for the awkward moment where Faith swoops in and saves Buffy sans slayer powers, Buffy all swoony gives her a massive signal (One that can be seen from space) just as Ridley stumbles upon the moment. Ripley, Riley...  that solider guy.

Look forward to the next installment. Please don't make us wait forever. Readers have feelings too. :)

Great reimagining of season three. It worked really well to have Buffy prepared to take the hit for Faith, but then gave Faith take responsibility for her actions. I really liked their relationship. 

Always a pleasure reading your work. Buffy in her hot little dress trying to snare herself a slayer :) My heart did pang for her when she asked Faith to stay. Beautiful. 

Nicely done. Cabins and snow always get extremely high reading off the Romance-a-tron 5000!! An enjoyable read.

I love that poor Xander had to suffer the awkwardness of hearing the slayers back in Chicargo. I guess without him they wouldn't be where they are now. Yay Xander!! Brilliant story.

OK, so I realise I'm just re reading all your fics now. Like I'm in a quirky version of a binge loop. This is by far one of my favourite stories by you and in my (totally bordering on stalker) relieving my best life I spotted a comment in the reviews that there's a sequel to this. Pretty please with a cherry on top, could you release that into the world? I, ney the entire fandom, would appreciate it!

Thanks!

Faith!! Why!!  - aside from that, I think this story is great. Keen to read the next chapter.

I'm intrigued to read how the undercover mission goes. It seems to have a lot of milage in that part of the storyline, I missed that in this chapter. Looking forward to the next chapter. 

My guess it's the woman that lived there before, the cousin or sister of the man who donated the horses!! Boom. She died and... wants to feel alive again, possibly? Faith's a innocent by stander who's body got jacked by a ghost. Yeah baby, no demonic stuff happening here. Just a lonely soul who's sharing? Faith's personal space. 

I really like this fic and can't wait for my weekly fix. Keep writing Alice, coz we're all still reading. 

Well worth the wait!! Faith and Buffy are so cute together,  this is quickly becoming the slow burn which will ignite as soon as a certain someone gets their body back. I would also be very interested in reading this other story of which you hath spake. Distraction 1.01. 😀

Super amazing brilliant wonderful unexpected uber twist! 

I couldn't wait to read this update and I'm so glad I didn't delay. Their world's falling into place, however you did have my heart in my throat when Faith was reaching out for the doorknob.

Awesome job can't wait for the next few chapters as this story rounds out. 

I'm in this, your fan. 

I noticed this fic recently got re-uploaded. Has there been a rewrite or just technical requirements?

Author's Response:

I'm cross posting it to AO3 and as I do that I've been cleaning it up. The plot isn't changing, I'm just editing so it's a bit tidier. I hid the later chapters from view as I edit. I don't know why it's posting like a brand new fic when I didn't even delete the chapters, just hid them. I wasn't worried about it because I figured no one would notice, but a few people have! Haha.
