Wicked. Love everything you have going on here, and the interactions and character voices are perfect (thank god for the lack of awkward!Remus).

I'm squeeing a bit, as I've managed to have a peek at some scans of the comics so it feels kind of good to actually really catch the references and know what's going on.

Any chance for a sequel-y type thing?

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It's weird, I had this one thing pop into my head last spring (in the middle of yoga class, of all times). Just an image of Remus holding Faith by the elbow and her pulling away. Never had any idea what I'd do with it, and then this week's challenge seemed the perfect opportunity.

Which is a round about way of saying I have no idea if I'll ever do anything more with this or not. But it's flattering to hear that you'd be interested in more! :-)

I really like how you use Faith wanting to protect a kid she thinks is in danger to bring them together - it speaks volumes about her assumptions about what life it like for a child.

Nice interaction with Remus too, and her thinking that maybe her type hasn't been working for her. The etiquette stuff kicking in was a great touch. I esp liked:

Faith’s jaw never dropped. That wasn’t something it did. So that didn’t happen. But it kind of felt like it wanted to.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, especially as I know you were dubious about the pairing.

it speaks volumes about her assumptions about what life it like for a child.

I'm glad that came through. I can really see her being the toughie who can't stand to see a kid hurt, both because of her own childhood and because of that bit in comic #6 where she had to dust all those kids who'd been turned.

I esp liked ...

Yay! That bit was fun to write. :-)

Nicely done. I quite liked the description of the spell lifting and settling back (urgent business with Customs, and all...).

I am so sorry I didn't answer this sooner! I don't know if I didn't get a notification or just spaced or what.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked that bit about the spell.

Not something that would have ever occurred to me, but I like it very much! Remus could be good for her in much the same way Giles would be.

I'm glad you like it! Thanks!

Honestly, I'm shocked it occurred to me. I literally just had this image flash through my mind (in the middle of a yoga class, no less) of Remus taking her by the elbow and Faith pulling away. That was it. It took a year to figure out what to do with it, but it wouldn't go away! LOL
