I read this before over on the BuffynFaith site, and never left a review. But upon rereading it, I just want to say that it is a truly beautiful story. You should write more stories, because they are bewtiful. and I will leave reviews telling you so.

Damn it man, why it gotta be that way. Buffy needs loving, Faith needs loving too give them what they need. I love Buffy being pissed at Angel and Wesley for the way they treated Faith. Im curious to see if Willow is going to be forgiving of Faith now that she has taken that wild magic ride down the dark side. I look forward to the next update and answer to that question and others. Great update. :-)

Nah, the Scoobies were always more forgiving of their own batshit crazy moments than they were of others'. Willow's not gonna be any more delighted to see her than the others are.

hurray  hurrah for a new chapter! I guess I should say something the chapter that I was so excited to read. Great chapter I like the way thlis Buffy is so open and loving with Faith so much so that Faith is slowly losing her defenses.

Whew! I was so happy to see this chapter I might have cursed in delight. Something like " holy shit an update!" Anyway, I was worried that Faith and Willow would equal betrayal, unhappy judging and angst all around, instead there was some understanding, communication and resolution of the problem at hand- did Willow hurt Tara?- Nope she didn't. And Faith's reaction/flashback didn't prevent her and Buffy from getting on with the loving. " Because Genesis didn't tell you that on the eighth day God made the demons and worlds upon worlds stacked against this one." those lines really made sense for me ,to seeing Faiths cynicism/hardassness in a different way. I dunno why. Anyway I will keep checking and waiting on updates. I waited for years on a completion to a fic called "Walk The Line" and my patience was rewarded, so I can wait, and wait and wait. Really, I can.

Author's Response:

Lol. I will not make you wait nearly as long as Electra did! That's a promise I think I can keep. :p I do much appreciate your patience and willingness to come back for updates. And your kind words of course! Flowers had the confusion and fighting. I figure these two have a modicum more maturity and can get their shit together. :) I was writing the sex scene in this chapter thinking, why I am putting religious imagery in? But I liked it for some strange reason, and I'm glad you did too! I hope you won't wait nearly as long for the next chapter. I am actively working on it, I swear. There are 2 or 3 left now, and then I will finish my next fic before posting. I hate dragging people along. This was an experiment with my self discipline and clearly I am lacking. :p

So glad to see a new fic by the GREAT ELECTRA!!! (that was all surround sound with echos) Seriously it will be Interesting to see how this plays out and all the bad decisions Faith might make. I look forward to updates. Now Im off to send cookies to Aliceinwonderbra for getting you to write fuffy again.

ahhh you left us hanging.That was fairly intense there at the end. Looking forward to the next chapter and the drama Im sure will ensue as Faith joins the rest of the gang. 

Excellent chapter. I laughed aloud at the whole exchange between Giles and Anya. " It takes place in London" I love Anya. Can't wait to read your version of the dream state from the Restless episode. 

Now that was nice. I really like the way you write Faith, there is always enough underlying regret, cynicism and humor to her that makes it feel true to character, and the regret isnt crippling, Its more an impetus to do better. And the fuffy loving was as usual
with your stories so much more than sex for sex. Ive always been a fan of Sexual Healing, this was a nice treat on a early, early should be sleeping Monday morning.

This is one of my favorites, Actually I enjoy all the stories you write. And Hooray Hurrah for a companion fic. Can't wait to read it.

this was sweet, but I gotta say as a coffee lover I was disappointed that there was only bad coffee, but at least Buffy was brave enough to drink it.Loved this line " but Buffy’s on her third life now, and all of them have been too short for regrets. This could very well be her last one, and she intends to make it count." I like that Buffy is realizing the importance of making amends with Faith and making their relationship more than it has been. Very nice.

Author's Response:

Haha! Sorry to disappoint you! :) I actually don't drink coffee, so I'd disappoint you even if I tried haha. Thank you for checking it out anyway. :) I'll give someone a nice mocha soon. 

This was a really pretty story you know like when you go window shopping and see pretty things and say ooh pretty. From beginning to end that's how this story felt. Pretty. Not like flashy pretty but put together well and realistically. The characters felt real and I could see the series going this way. 3 thumbs up cause I'm a mutant. 

mmm I like this story but I do have a problem with saying that Willow learned vindictivness from Faith. If Willow learned vindictiveness from anyone it would have been Cordelia who made her life a living hell long before Faith ever showed up. Although I do like the idea of Willow being more powerful as a witch earlier in the timeline. Ugh not the Initiative, those guys always fuck things up. All that testosterone and so sure that they have the answers. I hope Faith kicks their collective asses.  I actually reread this story from the beginning and really like the direction you have taken it.

I have been reading this story and neglected to review so my apologies. In spite of the darkness I am hooked on this story and look forward to updates. I like the way you write Faith slightly tragic, tough, yet vulnerable. I really hope they kick Travers' ass. And I hope Kennedy isn't so traumatized that she can't come back.
