Brilliant fic. I did get a little confused from time to time as the different scenes ran from one straight into another without a formatting division, but I got through it. One minute I think I'm read Faith, but it's actually Andrew ha. The characterisation and storyline was great. I was hooked completed reading in 24hrs. Thanks for sharing.

Reread this little gem, never fails to win me over a fic centered around Buffy's apparent obliviousness to Faith and all those vibes coming her way :) Always the last to know? Poor Buffy.
Author's Response:
Hahaha. She was the best, but sometimes soooo oblivious. :D I love naive clueless Buffy too!

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! All my favourite stories and authors are updating and adding new fiction each week. On behalf of the community, we couldn't be happier!
You are an amazing writer and I've been hooked on this fanfic since the first chapter. The follow up didn't disappoint. I love the silly rom-com aspect more than I thought I would. Must be the way you write. Joy, Faith and Buffy would make the cutest family.
Looking forward to more updates.
Thanks.

Yep, that's a classic Faith reaction. Oh dear.
And I tried to forget about this fic coz I wanted to binge it all when it was completed, but I couldn't help myself and now I'm like Sunday can't come quick enough!

Hahah! I'm sorry you have to wait, but also excited you're reading now! Sunday is almost here. Sort of. a86;a039;

Perfection.
I don't know where to start. Thank you for exercising your civil duty to inform and educate readers on coma awakening etiquette. The trigger warning was a nice touch.
I'm glad Faith had the opportunity to witness Buffy's love, from noticing the decorations and socks to seeing her defend Faith from her friends' assumptions of Faith's mental state. Most of all Buffy's rejection of Riley.
I'm sad that that slayer sensing didn't kick in for Buffy. Faith was right there!
Again, it's going to be a loooooooong week. Damn you and thank you 😆
Lol! I work in a field related to medicine, so it irritates me when I see crazy unrealistic depictions of medical events. Like okay, I don't need you to show me everything, but you guys couldn't even do the bare minimum here? 😂 I should have expected not using the slayer senses in the final scene was going to bite me in the ass. 🤣 Honestly my thought was, "I already did the Faith spying on the Scoobies scene in Somnaire, and I did have Buffy sense that she was there, so maybe I should do it differently here." The show itself seemed to play fast and loose with the slayer senses, and they didn't come into play every time they realistically should have. Maybe we can fanwank that they have to be actively concentrating to sense each other...? We'll go with that. 🤓 To provide some balm for the long week, I'm now almost finished with Chapter 12. So even tho you have to wait, at least there's a tradeoff in knowing there are so many more chapters to come, and they'll be coming regularly rather than the usual sporadic six month long waits I'd usually have? 😇🤣😅

I had forgotten about the council in this season cannon. Crazy.
So glad Faith went to Buffy in her moment of need and that Buffy was able to regulate her reaction to Faith coz that was dicey. One wrong word and she would've been waving bye bye to Faith's back as it hopped out the window. I'm not fully convinced Faith won't do that now she knows the Council is on the trail. I hope Faith doesn't run off while Buffy's downstairs. Thinking that she's doing it to keep the blonde and the rest of the family safe.
Still on board with this. I couldn't go to bed unil I had read it. I need help 😣 😅
Author's Response:
Ugh the fucking council pricks. Although in their defense, their appearance in Sanctuary did give us the wonderful, immediate reaction from Buffy of 'the council isn't getting their hands on Faith even if i did just say I'd murder her.' :D They will be just as dick-ish when they appear next chapter.
I think it worked in Buffy's favor that Faith was in a weakened state, so a little bit less likely to flee the premises. :p
I'm sorry to keep you up late, haha! I used to post in the AM my time, but it's been busier than usual with holiday stuff, trying to squeeze in dog park time before it gets too cold, etc. Stupid real life. Thanks for waiting up! Hope things are good with you!
Date: 12/06/2020 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8
Nobel, but c'mon! I'm accepting of this coz Faith's gotta have a story arch and I'm here for it 🤗
Love the familiar touching from Buffy and ease of innuendo prone Faith. Those were super sweet super short lived moments that gave this chapter life.
Thank you.
Author's Response:
I could have sworn that I responded to this, but now I see that I apparently did not. #fail I love getting a super fast comment from you every week when I post the new chapter! You are the best. Thank you. a86;a039;a86;a039; One challenge of so many of these earlier chapter being sort of "in real time" is having to follow events that maybe aren't super riveting, so I try to look for places to put in something sweet (like Buffy's easy touching), so I am glad those moments shine! The story goes pretty much in this real time format through chapter 13 which is what I've written up to now. The plan for the rest, starting with the next chapter, is to be less diligent about touching on every day, so I think that'll allow for more fuffy, less of the other stuff. I'll confess I haven't worked on the story this week. I got the urge to write another one shot so I just went with it. 😬😬🤣🤣 I'm almost through with it, so hoping I'll have it completed and ready to post later this week, then I'll be on to chapter 14. a86;a039;

You write so well, I was worried for a double cross! I can tell I'll be re-reading this fic from the start of Vengeance once it's all completed. Excited for the next chapter. Thank you.
Author's Response:
I think that would be cool to read it all as one continuous work. 🤗🤗 Ultimatey I think the initiative is not trustworthy especially without the Buffy/Riley romance to really get Riley to examine his world view, but I wanted to resolve the Council in a somewhat similar way to canon (they stopped coming after Faith turned herself in--why? Who knows? Does not make sense to me but that's what we've got!), so this is what I came up with. I didn't initially write Buffy fucking their day up so much, but decided that if the council problem is going to go away without any of them being murdered, then Buffy had to be willing to do anything except kill them. The stakes had to be higher than just letting Riley save the day. So hopefully this worked in that way. 😁 I definitely think it could have gone the double cross way with the Initiative taking real custody of Faith, but then I think I'd be doing a retread of Buffy's recue of Faith (and a rescue I've already done in another fic), so I went this way. For this story, I think plot development is not a super huge factor (because I think the relationship IS the plot here), so I've been trying to straddle the line between not getting overly embroiled in plot while also not hand waving away the things that would naturally happen next (the council, the police).
The other fic I've been working on is also not super plot heavy. Maybe I'm not feeling plottiness in the pandemic. I just want my relationship angst and then happy endings! 😂
Date: 12/20/2020 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10
I almost forget how much reassurance Faith needs to believe anyone could willingly want to choose her. To want to spend time, make commitments, to protect... I'm glad the jacket was the thing that opened the door of possibility to the validity of Buffy's feelings for her. Very important chapter for sure.
Can't wait for Joyce to install the no sex under her roof clause when she gets whiff of this budding relationship 😉
Author's Response:
Maybe Joyce isn't a regular mom, she's a cool mom (TM Mean Girls)? 🤣🤣 I love Season 4 Faith for exactly the reasons you said: that it's so hard for her to believe anyone really cares, because she does ultimately feel that she's evil and worthless. I want to slowly move her toward understanding she isn't and that people do care, but I think it takes several reiterations for things to sink in, and that she finds actions more believable. So... it's a struggle haha. Especially because I think at some point she needs to freak out and reject some of this... sad spoilers for future chapters lol. Thank you as always for commenting and reading this in real time! I love your commentary.

The writing is taking longer than I remembered. I'm switching between how I want to write it, first or third person. Then with the re-reads and edits. I'll be happy once all the threads weave together. I've got a solid idea and written most key parts I want to have happen, but pulling them together in a coherent way is taking a while. There's a sweet spot I get when I can visualise the action, so once that happens for all the sections it'll be ready 😅
Thanks for remembering and being supportive of my endeavour.

Filled with all the mirth and theme's of Christmas! Great use of a precursor messenger for Faith. With all the reinforcement she's receiving from every angle I'll be amazed if it all doesn't sink in sooner or later. She is worthy 😆
Author's Response:
Sooner or maybe... later? :D No, it will, I promise. :) Just uhhh, a couple more chapters maybe to get to that. Haha.
Date: 01/10/2021 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13
Swoosh, gut punch.
I knew it was coming, you told us so, but now this chapter is here and it happened... or not happened. I'm starting to let it all sink in. Faith is a complicated woman. Buffy is a patient woman, that I almost cried alongside on this one. So much emotion and angst that the payoff will be worth this.
I trust you!
PS, thanks for posting early 🤗
Author's Response:
Gulp. Haha. I will try to live up to that trust! ;) Only joking--you know I can't resist a happy ending. Even if it takes a while to get there... Hope your writing is going well too!
Date: 01/17/2021 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14
OMG! What are you doing to us here! When I read that dialogue, I almost dropped my phone. I'm living for the emotional roller-coaster. So much angsty angst angst, but I want the happy ending. I'll be patient and wait.
My writing is slow going, but is still on track. It went from a one shot to a multi chapter to a retelling of a season. I think I went too big. But I will love it when it's complete. I hope others will like it if its good enough.
As always, thanks for posting.
Author's Response:
That's always the way isn't it? The writing spirals out of control. 🤣
Angsty, angst angst is my favorite. 😅😅 But so is coming back together and soothing the angst. 😆 I think this story is going to be about 20 chapters, so we will be to some happy stuff sooner rather than later, for sure. 😊
Date: 01/26/2021 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15
Out damned spot, out!
Great tactical play by Angel, waiting for Faith to be ready to talk atonement. Works a treat and totally draws us in as consumers of the storytelling. One question here though, does Angel know about the new romantic developments or is he just attuned to how Faith felt about Buffy from before the coma?
Thanks again!
Author's Response:
Hi! I would say Angel doesn't know of the new developments. The only one who could have told him was Buffy and I don't see her doing that. He just has gaydar unlike Buffy so he picked up on Faith's pre coma vibes. 😂

You had me going there at the end! Could've veered straight into Angst Town, but you pulled a Uie on us. The ol' bait and switch. I loved it. Even the part with Wesley. I so enjoy these characters!
Author's Response:
Haha, are you not a Wesley fan normally? I love his awkward, dorky ass, so was excited to include him. Hooray for bait and switch! I'm writing chapter 20, and there is not really any angst between now and then, if you can believe it, lol.
Date: 02/07/2021 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17
I do like Wesley, I felt like even though his role in this whole thing is minor, what he had to say was poient for both of them.
Yes! Faith's back in the bosom and alls well with the world. Loving the interactions with everyone, so distinctive.
Now I won't be shy about telling you Riley is not my favourite. So very keen to see how this plays out. Also, loving the fragile Faith. I would be the same, don't touch my woman!
Author's Response:
Riley is not my favorite either! But he's part of Season 4 so I'm rolling with it haha. I think Faith's being super level headed about Riley! She doesn't like the guy, but she's still polite and she's not being overly demanding on Buffy about it. Showing some growth. :D
Date: 02/14/2021 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18
All the feels. Love Joyce! 🤗
Full on belly laughed when Buffy claimed Faith in front of Graham. Then Faith's comment about'virtually 'peeing on her'. It's exactly what I was thinking 😆
Author's Response:
Lol. Hey, they've been dating for like one minute, so Buffy has to make it known! :D :D
I think we've already talked about Joyce but me tooooo. I love her.

You write a cute, inquisitive Buffy so well. Love the scene with her and Tara in the dorm.
Thanks for the update. Feels like Christmas I got two chapters to read in a row 😂

Yaaaaassss! The moment Faith gets to hit Riley. This was worth the wait. I had pictured it in a really public place with everyone he knows looking on... But this also works 😆
Joking. Super happy our women finally came together in a sweet and sexy way. It's been a long time coming and more than makes up for the angst, self-discovery, trip to LA and all that jazz.
Question is, there more chapters? You're on a roll! 🤗
Author's Response:
Lol, maybe next time Faith can beat Riley up in public...
Date: 03/09/2021 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21
I was scared for a while there, but I hope Faith's going to be ok. A chapter full of action and awwws. Giving us all the feels!

Don't worry, I think we're too close to the end now for me to do too much damage to her.

I hate when I get so excited about a fic I think I've written a review, but I hadn't... As you can tell I'm doing a full on binge of both stories and can't get enough of them. Such a fantastic experience with a thread of true care and compassion from everyone that matters.
Thank you for sharing this with us!

Haha. Well, I'm glad you were so excited that you forgot! :) Thank you for following both stories all the way through to completion. I'm quite pleased with myself that I finished something in a timely fashion for a change. :D
