Ooooh, I like it!!!!!!!! You did good, darlin'.

Loved this:

My knees are shaking, but I’ve gotta get there ‘cause he needs to understand this: I save him, he doesn’t save me. Doesn’t matter how much he cares. I’m the one who dies and he’s the one who lives.

That's so Faith, right there: Faith in a nutshell.

Thank you for sharing!!!

You're missing a word -- Then he says, “I’m sorry. I don’t [here!] what came over me.” -- :)

I love that quote. Those are two powerful, very empowered sentences. They say "Slayer comma The".

HOLY SHIT YOUR FAITH VOICE. IT IS... JUST... I DON'T HAVE WORDS.

This fic seriously blew my mind in the best way. Just... this is my Faith. Yes.

I’ll throw down ‘cause I don’t matter and every life I save, that’s how much I’m worth.
OMG FAITH BB *HUGS HER* *HUGS YOU*

I haven't read it yet, but the link for Solid Through doesn't work. I usually wouldn't say anything, but instead of giving a 404 it lead me to the CREEPY CRYING LJ GOAT. which makes no sense, and gives me nightmares. I feel comfortable blaming you for the fitful sleep in my future!

;)

*goes to read story I'm sure will be worth the creepy goat sighting*

[angearia]

Haha whoop! Sorry for the CREEPY CRYING LJ GOAT!

It's all fixed now. Thanks for taking one for the team and now others don't have to suffer. :p

which makes no sense, and gives me nightmares. I feel comfortable blaming you for the fitful sleep in my future!

I accept full responsibility. Hopefully the Faith/Giles fic will help make it better!

[maddie2927]

It did make it better!

I love your Faith. LOVE HER.

Wonderful Faith voice - and the way you explore her self-esteem issues is awesome. I love the route by which she arrives at the truth.
