Oooh, I like this. Faith leads, Buffy follows and that takes them to a different place entirely. This Faith feels dangerous, but to herself as much as to others, and so sadly-sweetly protective of Buffy. I really enjoy how you've kept their characters, but utterly changed the dynamic.

Thank you; I'm so glad I was able to live up to your prompt (which was wonderful, btw.)

I really like this! (Then again, I'm a big Robert Johnson fan, so I should. :) ) Faith's internal monologue, the repetition, the desperation... chilling.

This has such an interesting vibe to it, and such a neat and sad take on the two of them, and on this fork in the road. Lovely.

Gorgeous fic. I love the musicality of it, the rhythm within the prose. Good job.
