XD I loved that Faith was shaving her legs with the scythe!! Of anyone who would be that bad ass to think they could get away with it and then not only to think about doing it, but to actually do it, it would be Faith! Wonderful little one-shot. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep on writing. :)

Thank you!

Excellent! I loved that Faith thought she literally had to have a conversation with her own heart, a physical one, shows just how little love experience she has had as opposed to sex, which was the point I think and you did it brillantly. This story gave me the warm fuzzies, but the last scene made me wonder if maybe it would be too late for them because Buffy didn't seem to be giving in, but so glad she did. I was really worried she was going to say that she was involved with Satsu or something for a minute there and we would have a sour ending, but no such malarky. Awesome writing. Very clean of grammatical errors and the like. Very tightly edited, not overwritten, and stylized. You definitely have a talent. Congrats.

Any excuse to get their sexy on. Good writing. :) Hoping to read more from you soon.

You write sexual tension maddeningly well. Just saying. ;) Looking forward to more story, though Buffy seems seriously, seriously angry, which I get, but at the same time it sort of pisses me off because it isn't as if it is Faith's fault, their bodies' reactions and all. You know? Oh, well, write more is the edict of this ramble. :)

Amazing! And heartfelt and another worthy chapter to this piece. I always thought through the few times we saw them together in the show, that Faith had found something, some sort of surrogate mother figure in Joyce whenever they had a scene together. And here I can really see it. It's nice to see Faith making progress in the healing of relationships process, even if it isn't with Buffy yet. It is also interesting to think of Buffy looking at what Willow has with Tara and envying it or having wanted something like that with Faith. I would'nt have thought of that.

I mean I know Buffy always wanted someone to be able to understand her life, but when she had Faith in the series, it just seemed like she was so unappreciative of Faith being there. Angel being back sort of made her focus return to him and Faith was neglected. Then in season four there was Riley, who I didn't dislike as a character, but I didn't like him for Buffy. So hopefully, after all of the dust settles, Buffy and Faith can hash out their issues. I am also wondering if Faith will have to go back to prison after all this. Good work. :)

P.S.- I love Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo. It is my all time favorite book and I would just like to give you even more kudos for quoting Dumans! :)
