While I've never read an actual AB book, I feel as though I know the 'verse pretty well from some of Anyanka's works and this bit is very intriguing. You have a knack for drawing readers in, Ava.

Really enjoyed the way you portrayed Joyce here - very true to character - and the inclusion of Faith as one of her girls.

Thanks for posting!

Some of Anita Blake is wonderful and other parts not so much, but I still find myself devoring every book that comes out. It's an addiction really. :) Glad you enjoyed this even though you don't read the books though and yay for me being able to draw you in!

Yes, Anyanka does good stuff. I definitely track her on TtH.

Joyce was/is such a good, solid character. She had moments of weakness and stupidity, but she has was a'freakin'mazing at comebacks. *loves her*

Thank you for commenting! It gives me a warm glow.

An interesting universe setup! Would love to see more.

I think this 'verse has potential and I'm am curious as to how Faith became a werelion so there's a chance my muse has more in her. *crosses fingers*

I'm going to add in my vote that you need to continue in this universe. I like the shift in ideas that Faith was the one taking care of Buffy - being the "older and wiser" shifter. And that is so like Joyce to do what is necessary to protect her girls, all of them. Joyce had such a capacity for love and to take in Buffy's friends and I love that you let that shine here.

I think Faith always had it in her to be the 'big sister' but was never allowed. I've never been fond of the nearly forced drama between the two Slayers so I like it when I can give them a fresh start with one another. :)

Joyce was so very strong at times and horribly weak at others, but it's always a good in my eyes when she gets to shine.
