Hi SixteenThirty, it’s been a while since you posted this story. I don’t know if you’re still around and will see my comment but I’ll give it a go anyway because it was damn good reading you! :D

I have to admit with some shame that when I saw your note at the end of chapter 8 (you were asking for feedback) I should have paused and started commenting chapter after chapter… but I was so into it that I skipped that part (as anyway the whole story was available!) but promised myself I’d leave a review afterwards, so here we are.

I liked very much your version of grown-up Faith. Helping other slayers who are on the wrong side and staying away from Buffy was cathartic for her… although indeed not healthy in the long run, working like crazing 24/7/365 as she’s done for the past two years, she did deserve a break! Yes she is the (or a) good slayer now and she did not steal it ! And she remained cool as a cucumber when Satsu was all crazy b*tch, kudos to her!

As for Buffy, her behaviour around Faith was not unusual but wow who would have guessed she’d become rogue ??? O_o Obviously her last encounter with Faith really took a toll on her… I wonder how she reacted to the intial slayer dreams both of them shared again (apart from falling from her bed the first time ^^).

Anyway, I’m glad the Scoob-intervention was succesful !! The "rescue Xander in the middle of nowhere"mission which was actually a vacation which was actually a "protect Buffy" mission which was in reality a secret "deal with rogue Buffy" mission… and without all that fuss I am not sure the outcome would have been that positive, both B& F are strong with their own insecurities. In the end all they needed was a few slayer dreams, a lot of teasing, as well as supporting friends & family and 2 or 3 years of abstinence ^^

 

Hahaha it made me laugh when suddenly the place was packed with 20 more slayers and it was so obvious that Buffy and Faith would need to share the same bedroom one way or another but none of them wanted to face that reality ! XD

What a wild story (maybe a bit too much, I almost got lost with your Quantum Leap crossover – man this series is what, 30 years old now ?)! It was epic, full of surprises, a bit angsty, real hot at some point :DD

Thank you very much, your first ever fuffy story was brilliant :) It is well written, well done to you !

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this awesome review. It made my weekend! 

I appreciate the feedback and enjoyment your interaction has created. 

I'm in a rut with the story I've literally been working on for a year+ at this point. This is great motivation to keep going. 

I hope you enjoy my other stories and the great selection this site has to offer from the many writers! 

Loving the story. Can't wait to see what happens.

Your wait is over :)

Nice!  I'm glad to see more chapters, but I'm kinda confused about the whole Buffy-going-rogue thing. I mean, Willow wanted Kennedy to get her ass kicked but Buffy was already a killer?  Seems like that is what was said. But why?  I could see a spiral after and accidental killing...maybe the rest of the story clears it up.

Hi AustenFuego, good question.

Buffy was in a bad place emotionally prior to the killing of Kennedy. She went thorugh some deep life stuff, got into a relationship and was dumped by Satsu a person who she knew adored her, Faiith comes back in her life and she reels from realisation that Giles is working with the other slayer and is happy, she picks a fight with Faith, but that ends with Faith's buttons getting pushed and her attempting to drown Buffy. Buffy survives, but is deeply scarred by the confrontation as (in my own little world) she thinks yet again the world is being harsh and uncaring toward her, Faith has thrown her universe upside-down as the *** SPOILER ALERT 4 NEXT CHAPTER *** revelation Satsu aludes to (reason she dumped Buffy) is why she can't deal with the relationship she has with Faith. She lost her way in wanting to push everyone in her life away and started going off the rails, ignoring her friends, other slayers, going out all night, roughing up demons (more than usual), heavily beating informants of all species and just not giving a shit really. Enter Kennedy trying the fuck with her stuff when all she wants to do is be left alone.

Sorry for the slight spoiler there, but it is good to get that out. As it was my first attempt at fiction its great to have these questions and comments so I can work on being a better writer and show more depth in my stories to give readers a fuller picture.

THANK YOU!!!

a bit confusing from time to time with the dreams but i'm loving it! keep up the good work ;-)

Oh sorry about that, but I'm glad you're enjoying it. I got a little better since this first fic. I think Find Me First is my fav. Not sure on writing another story after I finish posting this.
