Title: Touch
Word count: 100
Characters/pairings: Faith
Rating: PG
Summary: Faith’s never wanted invisibility or the power to fly.
Warnings: none
Disclaimer: The boys and girls belong to Joss, even though I’m often much nicer to them than he is.
Author’s Notes: This was written for open_on_Sunday for the flight prompt.
It’s a classic question: if you had superpowers, would you want invisibility or the power of flight?
Faith always said “neither.” Invisibility and flight are powers of non-engagement; of retreating from the world. She wants to touch and twist and fuck the world, to feel it in her hands. Her superpower is all about touch: primal strength thumping into vampire flesh and turning it to dust while she stays solid.
And her pleasures are all pleasures of the flesh.
That stays true even after the world comes tumbling down, and suddenly invisibility and flight are the only powers that matter.
