I just love how throughout this entire story, Faith's narrativeis basically her just trying to convince herself that she's not totally whipped by the Buffster :P! 

I also just find it hot that Faith is generally straight, but when it comes to Buffy, not only is she willing to switch, but she just has such strong, commitment-worthy feelings when it comes to her. No "get sum, get gone"  mentality when it comes to her fellow slayer. It's so cute seeing Faith trying to deny herself how much she loves Buffy :3

Omni,

I love that you liked the story and found Faith's struggles to hang tough against her Buffy whippiness cute and hot.

Like you said: there will be no get some, get gone no matter how much Faith tries to convince herself otherwise.

If only she knew she was in a Fuffy fic, things would go down a lot easier for her. Uh...you know what I mean!

Thank you for the feedback :) :) :)

this is one one my favorites. I love how well Faith is portrayed, and it's cute how Buffy just kinda worms her way in and takes her over. I loved the whole not being able to breath out of nervousness..totally been there. Sometimes the most unsuspected people can manage to turn you into sniveling idiot, sweaty palms and all. :D

H, Nix! Okay, I've been pretty darn happy since you told me this fic is one of your favorites. I'm wicked pleased that Faith seems like herself and yeah, who knew Buffy could be so wormy when she put her mind to it?

I totally agree that it's sometimes the people you never even see coming that knock your socks off and have you dancing through hoops for them. Not that I personally have any experience with that sort of thing. I mean, I'm just going by what you and Faith say, I don't...uh...Never mind.

Thanks for the feedback :) :) :)

So... this story... I like!

Faith's mind is always interesting to percieve, and I always find the writers who give their words a rawer edge tend to pull off her personality better. Kudos to you for that! Glad she got the girl at the end. It's nice sometimes just to pick up a one shot and read through, especially when you don't have time for a bigger story, but just enough to squeeze in one like this. :)

One thing I would like to point out, is that I think she swears perhaps a little too much. This is also a common theme in a lot of Faith fics. On one hand, whilst the swearing does fit her character - from a literacy point of view, too much of it does tend to lessen the impact of the words, and can even offend/put people off. I don't think this is too much of a problem in the fan fic world - and it doesn't bother me - but I'm mostly remembering some reviews I got about it in the past - and thought I would share, in case it seems like it could help. :P

All in all, very interesting writing style, I look forward to peeking at more of your stuffz.

Squee.

Squee,

I hear you on how it can sometimes be hard to find the time to read. It's so annoying, but the one-shots are definitely livesavers when you just have to have a Fuffy fix.

I'm really glad you liked the story :) It was fun to write something from Faith's POV, "rawer edges" included.

As for the swears, well, I guess it's like ice cream: too much of a good thing can be too much for some people. I just see Faith as a huge potty mouth, kind of like SMG is rumored to be in real life, so I roll with it and keep my fingers crossed that it works out okay for most people. And yes, I might be a swearer myself...Hey! Put down the "Bad Words Penalty Can"!  I don't have any money left! Honest! ;)

Thanks for the feedback :) :) :)
