Omega Rising
Arghhh somehow I am like Faith, not fully convinced by Buffy's behavior. It feels like, now that it's only Faith and her, she's got to do with it. I know I kind of hoped a few chapters ago that it would be just the two of them but it didn't really go the right way in my opinion :/ A sequel may help clarify their relationship... :D
Thanks for this story, the way you explored Faith in this apocalyptic scenario was very interesting! Thanks also to your betareader(s)!
pss check your spams (just in case) ;)
"I need to check your stitches" - what a lame excuse! But hey we can't complain that Buffy is sending mixed signals, I think it's pretty obvious!!
Kim's death - I had forgotten about her again (!!) - wow the impact it has on Faith o_O and btw Faith is really good with kids since the beginning of this "adventure"!
Cordelia is dead, this is definitely the end of the Sunnydale crew, a new chapter begins... perhaps.
Just FYI, the videogame where you have to literally drive on people to get points and finish the race is actually Carmageddon, not GTA :X Just saying... XD
I must admit that yes, it took some time to get there but I did enjoy the slow build up; although I'm relieved somehow that they went for a slay --> hungry probably, horny for sure! I'm pleased they managed to get there eventually - not just the sex part, I think it is deeper than that for Buffy (it definitely is for Faith). You surely know how to captivate your audience, and keep them hooked until the end of the story :D
B - "What are you gonna do then?"
F - "probably have a spontaneous orgasm" XDXDXD I wished for a second that Buffy could hear that, wondering whether she could freak out, or jump on Faith's bones :D
Hummm playing along with Faith, it starts to be really interesting!
I was not too bad guessing what Cordelia had seen: it did involve Angel saving the world!
I'm not too sure how they will manage to cure all the zombies though, apart from somehow (magically? why not, they have Tara with them) making a rain of the demon's blood :/
Given the tone of the story, I'd say it was just a matter of time before Xander and Giles would turn into zombies... though!
I had forgotten about Kim and I really liked how things are quickly evolving between Faith and her friend (not Kim, the other one... ^^).
Cordelia's vision... hum... let me think... Angel and Spike will have to sacrifice themselves to save the world?? (and thus giving Faith the full space she needs with Buffy) XDXDXD
That's a strategy, to have only the two slayers surviving the Zombi-pocalypse! This may give Faith more chances with Buffy XD
Question: what would have Buffy said if Faith hadn't cut her, when they both were in Buffy's house?
Comment: Where is Angel? Now that's a cliffhanger! It would be a shame to lose him :/
Braaaaaain: sorry I can't think straight anymore ;)
I could feel the cold tension in that store! It is hard for Faith but it's not like she does not deserve some of it... but nothing hurts more than indifference :/
I hope she'll manage to make her way through Buffy's heart somehow... which may have already started! (yeah that's me being too romantic perhaps).
Whoaa so this is where it came from... what a b*tch (Walsh, of course)! The only good thing in this whole doomed situation is that Riley seems to be off for good!
Finally some B/F stuff? Well you indicate they are going to interact, but it does not necessarily mean this is what we (or at least I) have been waiting for :p
At last!!! They made it to Sunnydale :D
Haha I'm joking. At last!!! Buffy's here :D
Hey Faith, how about a "sorry I punched you in the face" rather than "Cordelia. Still among the living, huh?"? Can't really complain afterwards if people throw at you the exact same line... or would it be a tactic to experience endless guilt and an excuse for fucking it up later?
Angel's soulmate... I can already imagine the difficult choices to come :/
Clearly this is a more-than-crappy situation here, zombies and vamps.... which definitely requires two slayers!! :D
I hope that Wesley will see the good in Faith, and/or Faith will find Angel so that Faith can build back some confidence... she does need it! however I'm keen to see in which psychological state she will be when she meets Buffy again - she may be greeted with a punch in the face?
Zombies literally crawling from everywhere... for someone who doesn't particularly enjoy writing fight scenes, you did well! Or is this setup different somehow?
I'm glad Faith and Kim were able to find some civilisation (although having a gun pointed at them is probably not their ideal outcome).
you're setting the scene for a pretty doomed world already!! I'm not so keen witth horror scenarios but I'll give it a try, the perspective of a B/F relationship is a good incentive :D
Double challenge accepted (to have it finished in 2 days'time :p)!
Ginger livessssss at least for now yay! Thank you so much for this exciting fic! I'll keep my eyes out for that sequel <3
Author's Response:Thank you!!!! I truly hope I get around to this sequel some day but I still have at least two other long stories I'm working on first... :D
Nooooooooooooooo we need a time machine. Damn I love zombie apocalypse aus but I still haven't gotten over the deaths that come with it
Please don't let ginger die please don't let ginger die please don't let ginger die
Author's Response:Hahaha. Okay so real talk, Ginger is my childhood dog. I'd never hurt her. :D
Faith!!! You know being cocky will tempt the universe to make it not just a little search and rescue.
c'mon Faith, you can make it through this. and tbh, if Buffy doesn't want you, Kim is pretty cool too :D
Author's Response:Lol. I feel like it's a big compliment that you would even consider my OC as a runner up relationship choice here haha.
bahahahahah i sense opportunity for jealous Buffy, love it! maybe cordelia's vision has something to do with saving what's left of humanity so they'll have to stay in sunnydale longer and then joyce will somehow have survived and finds Buffy >.<
Author's Response:I have some thoughts on Joyce's fate and what might be revealed in the sequel if I ever write it... :D
noooooo please don't kill Angel!!!
zombie babies?! fuck that must have been awful. poor slayers. this apocalypse is going to fuck them up even more emotionally and mentally than any other apocalypse
Author's Response:I feel like this chapter was the one where people were most like ... "what the fuck goes on in your head?? Zombie babies??" But i'm not sorry haha. I liked the zombie babies.
oh no not willow!!!!! holy shit i can't wait to see what happens next
