Oh, this was great - I love the way that Faith grabbed Jo's attention right from the start, and how strong their connection is.

Thank you. I am glad that you liked it.

Thank you.

Ooh, thank you! I'm so happy you picked my wildcard crossover! Definitely more of a challenge since the characters obviously never met, and you did a good job of showing a plausible scenario where they could meet!

I like how Jo's independent, out fighting the good fight on her own. That's definitely how I prefer to imagine her ending up. There's that undercurrent of danger from when she ran up against stuff too much for her, which adds a frisson of tension to your story. And then there's Faith. Maybe a little calmer, maybe a little wiser, but still our passionate Faith.

"I'm not that girl anymore," Faith finally responds, "I'm not the type of girl who just screws around and takes everything that she wants without a thought about anyone else."

This is a really good insight into how Faith has changed. Nice job!

Thank you. I am so glad that you thought so highly of my story. I really wanted to expand on Jo from what we saw in the series. I could see her becoming a hunter and trying to prove herself to her mother and all the hunters that she's ever met.

And I am really glad that you liked my Faith.

Thank you, I am glad that you liked it.

I really liked this look into Jo's life after her last encounter with Sam & Dean, her thoughts on Faith, and that it didn't turn into her obsessing about being attracted to a girl, but rather musing on why she's always drawn to people who aren't good for her.

One small niggle, though: you changed tense midway through, and I found that to be a little distracting.

Thanks for the feedback, both the good and bad. I had a hard time writing this and that's probably the cause of the tense change.
