For bellonablack, Not sure if this is exactly what you were looking for, but it's what came out! I'm also using this fic for an old prompt angearia gave me back during that Christmas fic meme that I never finished (… but have decided halfway through the year to get back to???) The prompt was: your ( Read more... )

And that's a cheerful icon you have there.

I am so chilled by this piece. I can't begin to tell you.
Also, you should know that this is the first time I actually read Faith/Buffy fic. (I shipped them pretty passionately in canon, but I have read almost no BTVS fic, regardless of the pairing. Except for Buffy/Angelus, because I am an awful person.)
But now I feel uber-spoiled. This was just so words-out-of-mouth-knocking. (I HAVE NO LEGIT WORDS. NOR GRAMMAR, OKAY?) I don't even want to go looking for more fic, I just want to keep this one in my white-picket-fenced pocket FOREVA. Yes. I do.
I think you kinda failed at proving your point though? THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE SHOULD SKIP THIS. Go edit this gross line immediately. Seriously.
LOL. I don't know why everyone seems to notice this icon all of a sudden? I'm sure I have already used it with you. It is for deadness and overfelt feels. All the blood and gore, basically. BUT I AM OH SO GLAD THAT YOU APRECIATE IT :D The thing was a bitch to get

(Buffy/Angelus is the way to be.)
I feel honoured to be your first Buffy/Faith fic reading experience! :D And I'm really pleased that this resonated with you. Thank you, bb.
BUT I CAN TOTALLY GIVE YOU FIC RECS IF YOU WANT, JS.
Go edit this gross line immediately.

Haha, you have used that icon before, but I didn't take notice of it so much until now. :o IT'S A BEAUTY.

The Buffy-Faith dichotomies are also brilliant, as is Faith herself: she makes Buffy feel alive in her "blackness", but at the same time, Faith is surrounded by so much death imagery. That reveal with the knife was just painful. People dying around Buffy, Faith dying by Buffy's hand.
That is to say, this was a wild ride and wonderful.

LOL THAT WOULD BE MOSTLY MY FAULT TBH
But thank you so much! You take so much away from my writing, I wind up liking it better, lol. Especially glad you like the colour symbolism, I was unsure if that was too much.

WAHHHHHHHH you say these things to hurt me.
Also, hope you enjoy S7 when you see it! :D

EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND YOU ARE MY FAVORITE *____* I am not really sure if I can articulate how much I liked this, I think I'm just really taken by surprise because I didn't expect to find Buffy/Faith fic when I opened my flist but this is GORGEOUS and a perfect summation of them, really? The repetition and the darkness and the neediness and we always knew this day would come and what about me forgiving you and ugh, this is kinda perfect to me.
Faith is a shadow. Faith is an empty space, a gaping wound, the absence thereof, the entity unknown.
Buffy knows this Faith better.
JFASDF, YEEEEEEEEES, too many feelings over this section /o\ I loved this whole thing.

THANK YOU SO MUCH M'DEAR BUT WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE YOU?
Buffy/Faith fic hardly ever appears on my flist ever so I know your feels. I'm just really pleased you enjoyed this! I don't actually think I have a huge amount of shippers on my flist. Anyway, your comment is beautiful to me and makes me like this mess better. :D

Parts of this are disgustingly good. DISGUSTINGLY.

There's always something (and then the thing that comes after that, and after that, and after that, and then after the after). But because there is a part of her that used to be a storm, that used to be rage and shattered glass, and because that part is still now. She was a raging inferno and now she is a steady flame, and she thinks she can live like this. She thinks she can live. She isn't scared. and
in the no man's land between the unconscious and the waking, Faith is a shadow. Faith is an empty space, a gaping wound, the absence thereof, the entity unknown.
and This was always how it was going to be. "I want you to know that, B. It was always gonna happen --" The blood is seeping steadily through her shirt. "-- And I forgive you. You understand me? You're forgiven. Always. Every time."
And Buffy thinks: What about me. What about me forgiving you. What about my part of the story.
and
Buffy is inconsolable.
Look at the light through the windowpane. That ( ... )

I'm actually working on it again :) If my counting is correct, I'm 8 pictures away from finishing it.
NO LOOKING FOR FIC, OK, I PROMISE :D

Besides. Après l'effort, le réconfort.
No but really. This is very interested enabling. I have lots of stuff I need to talk to you about (I watched that pilot) and also I am greedy for pictures. It will help me get my lazy ass working. (I wish.) But maybe I should sleep also? Idk Idk. So much to do so little time.
ETA : NO JUST NO. Now I'm spelling French wrong because I write English more. FML.
