Owns one sleepy cat, one small hyperactive dog and a sad, wilty cactus. All of which should have their own Saturday morning comic strip.

Post-S7 Fuffy kisses are the best kind!
Nice bit of characterisation here. Good stuff. :)
Date: 11/24/2015 Title: Chapter 4: Wish You Never Met Her
Ouch. This is painful.
I very Faith-way of looking at the events in the series. I was always surprised when Bufyf said about Faith 'I'm not gonna give up on her'...and then a couple of episodes later she does exactly that. I get it but it made me sad.
But S7...Buffy pissed me off so much in her attitude towards Faith, given what had happened previously with Spike and then with Willow. Both given fresh starts with very little effort on their part (compared to Faith who accepted punishment for her wrong-doing whilst those two get all the support they could possibly need.
And all that while Faith clearly still has feelings for the girl who cold-bloodedly stabbed her in the gut.
*sigh* poor girl
Date: 11/24/2015 Title: Chapter 5: Fire & Rain
Hawt! :D
Seriously, nice little snap shot of this particular (popular) scenario. Significant things in LA always happen in alleys when its raining. I learned this from Angel. :)
Date: 11/24/2015 Title: Chapter 8: Tell Me Something
Faith's trust issues! Vulnerable Faith sharing part of herself with Buffy! Buffy caring enough to ask!
*sigh* This is why we have fan-fic. I occured to me that Buffy never really asked Faith anything about herself in S3 and also never really said anything nice *about* her, ever. :(
Date: 11/24/2015 Title: Chapter 9: Home
This was nice. I'm not a huge fan of 'You' perspective stories but this is quality stuff.
Buffy giving Faith a pep-talk? Bonus, since Faith never gets a pep-talk unless its from a murderer (Mayor or Angel).
Date: 11/24/2015 Title: Chapter 10: You're Nothing
Can't imagine there's much relief in jail for a super-frustrated slayer. :P
Faith self-hate makes me sad.
Date: 11/24/2015 Title: Chapter 13: Strangers
...I will give you all the things (that I won!) if we can get more of this!
Faith as sexy, worldly art student and Buffy as tourist-y type? The chemistry still works because that's the beauty of the characters.
Peanut butter and chocolate always go!
Date: 11/24/2015 Title: Chapter 14: Revelations
I am STILL waiting for Faith to find out about Buffy/Satsu and for it to be written about.
Buffy's friends know, Spike found out from Xander (and instantly dismissed it, which sums up everything I hate about his character) and its possible Angel knows (through Twilight-shenannigans) but Faith doesn't.
I hope that there's a significant reason for that- plus the whole 'keep them separated for no reason' thing in the comics- and that when Faith finds out there will be some surprising reaction from her.
Like exactly what's depicted here. Exactly this. :)

Honestly, the more I read the comics, the angrier I get at the fact that the Scoobs just continue to alienate Faith even further and start to think canon Buffy doesn't deserve her in the tiniest bit. She's always nicer in fanfics. :3
I am super swamped with classes right now, so I still haven't gotten a chance to flesh out that AU. But I hope to do so soon. It'll happen. :)
Can't tell you what it means to me to get this type of feedback; Fuffy has, unfortunately, become a dying ship lately. So knowing there's still some shippers out there is all the yes. :D
Date: 01/02/2016 Title: Chapter 18: Sex, Drugs & Bowties
Whee! That was fun. :)
Liked the little snippets of how Faith intergrated with the Scoobies post-S7, and how she made up with Buffy.
And Buffy's crush. Aww...
Lovely, from start to finish.
And you really need to write more sexy fun-time shenanigans between these two. *fans self* :D
Author's Response:
Thank you! I've written quite a lot of Fuffy smut in my day; I feel like if I write it too often, it just becomes stale & repetitive :) it's definitely not the last of it though, rest assured 👌
Date: 01/31/2016 Title: Chapter 20: Happiness in the Form of a Blonde
Aw, this was sweet. :)
It's true, Faith never really catches a break whilst other, more obnoxious characters get stuff handed to them. Which is one of the great things about this ship- adversity.
I'm glad Faith got a cuddle. Nice fluff.
I have to say if you feel like writing some Faith/Willow fic, I'd be all for it. Post S7 these two make a great pairing and make lot of sense to me
Also Faith/Wesley, Faith/Dawn (when Dawn's older) and Faith/Giles all sound worthy of exploration- even in just a friend/relationship way.
Just please, no Faith/Spike. :(
Author's Response:
Other characters I have considered pairing Faith with have been Willow, Giles and Xander; perhaps just friendship, but I've often imagined that Faith and (x) any above character would be interesting as a couple. Definitely Willow- I was saddened to not see much interaction between the two in S7 or the comics.
Thanks for continued feedback- always nice to have loyal fanfic fans :)
