She doesn't have that precision even when she's Slaying, and Tara has it every day.

Incredibly hot. Really interesting that it starts out with such a comfortable relationship between them and then the sex reveals their issues. I can definitely see it working for them though, Tara insistent Faith not treat her like an object and that being good for Faith (even if she doesn't realize it.)

Thanks! I'm glad you found it hot. :) Also glad that the progression of the relationship -- the comfort and the discomfort -- showed. It actually had a lot more to do with me than is probably healthy, but I did think that there are both things that are really good for Faith here, and things that are really uncomfortable. Thanks for reading. :)

A fascinating look at the complexities of the two characters. Also, y'know, hot, becaause, yeah.

[wisdomeagle]

Because it's Faith and Tara, having complicated sex? Yes. Thank you!

so, hi! i found your journal through hermionesviolin--just wanted to get that bit of info out of the way, lest you think i'm stalking you. *g*

i wanted to thank you so, so much for this story. i've had a pretty rotten holiday season, but this made it all better. it's just so perfect and *right*. i especially love the last line, because it kind of leaves you with this ominous feeling as far as their future. and i love the idea of tara more or less being the dominant one, and demanding faith's full respect.

i truly enjoyed it, and.. yes. i wanted to stop by and thank you for giving me a happy!

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm so glad to know that you enjoyed it, and I don't mind stalking if it's for feedback-giving purposes.

I'm really glad your holiday was slightly cheered by ominous femslash, and that you enjoyed the way I wrote their relationship. It was my pleasure to write for you. :)

I love how realistic this is. All sex has issues and it's great to see that explored in fic.

Thank you Cady! Happy new year!
