Eeeeee! This was great. I loved this.

Fought like a ballerina and fucked like a boxer?

Damn I wish I made that one up.

Thank you for participating!

Hooray! Thank you. It was a great 'thon, very challenging. But Gunn is love!

What zgirl said--I bet that's what Faith wants on her Tombstone!

I'll have to take your word for it on Supernatural, but this is an exciting plot with lots of ass-kicking and note-perfect Gunn. GREAT tagline connecting the two stories--and do I intuit a Gunn/Sam sequel?

I *do* think that they'd insist on not renting Room 101 though, because obviously watching your brother die and not being able to stop it *is* the Worst Thing in the World for them.

Thank you, D!

I do not think you intuit a Gunn/Sam sequel. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, you know? A sequel would be Faith POV and more of the Faith/Dean variety.

Room 101! I know there's something there, you'll have to explain it to me, like you always do.

(Currently have your Gunn fic in my "read" pile!)

Room 101: in 1984, where the Ministry of Love keeps whatever happens to be the worst possible thing that could happen to you.

She was so fluid; he loved that. She fought like a ballet dancer and she fucked like a boxer.

This is great! I don't know SPN that well, but I love what you've captured of the characters, and all the potential pairings here that go together so well. I love the notion of Gunn's halfway house of a brain, and I love that on seeing Sam, Gunn can't decide whether he reminds him of Wes or Fred.

Awesome, awesome story!

alizarin_nyc August 12 2006, 03:50:55 UTC

Eeee! Ta, muchly. SPN has lots of common elements with BtVS and Angel and there's a darkness there that makes it an easy crossover, so. Hey. I'm crossover panel leader, am I not?

Sorry there was no James Marsden. ;0

Oh, I LOVE Faith/Dean. femmenerd and I discussed this hotness at writercon. So I've taken your fantastic advice and crossposted it just now.

I have an idea for more. Faith POV and starting with what they did in the motel room and then how they meet up later when Dean and Sam need her help.

LOVE your icon.

*encourages like mad, mad thing*

Why the fuck don't I have a Faith dancing icon?

Hee! This was a lot of fun, and like everyone else, I think this: She fought like a ballet dancer and she fucked like a boxer. is a most awesome line. Gunn is spot-on, and you can never go wrong with Faith/Dean, either.

alizarin_nyc August 13 2006, 05:08:45 UTC

I was hoping people would get that Faith fighting like a ballet dancer meant one of those amazing, strong, flexible, fling-themselves-all-over-the-stage ballet dancers and not the ones in the tutus, per se.

Thank you! Faith/Dean is hard to argue with.
