I like this! This just seems so Snape, he's doing the right thing, but that doesn't mean he has to be *nice* about it, you know? Which makes him an interesting working partner with Faith.

I haven't read the books in a few years, so my ideas about Snape are mainly from the movies, but he rang true for me :)

Thanks!

Right. Because she certainly won't be nice about it if she thinks she's being played or taken advantage of.

Cool. I'm glad it worked for you.

*Very* nice. Want more.

So, hmmmm.... I can figure Ethan out well enough, but I wonder what house Giles was in.

I figure Ravenclaw. Not that he's not brave enough to be in Gryffindor (he wanted to be a fighter pilot, after all); I just think he was probably a grind pre-Ripper.

Ooh, nice crossover. I particularly like the delicate use of unreliable narration, or what *I* see as unreliable narration. Faith assumes she had to be tested because she's her, but knowing Snape, if Giles had brought Buffy instead, he'd have insisted on testing her too.

[musesfool]

Thanks.

And yes, Giles is telling her that it's *his* word that's in doubt, not her abilities, but Faith obviously has Issues and doesn't believe they'll ever really trust her again.

Somehow, I think Snape would like Buffy even *less* than Faith. But I could be wrong.

This encounter is a lot of fun; thanks for writing it. :D

Thanks for reading and commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Came here from a crack_broom rec for In Shadow and then this. Very nice, both. You really got Faith! both her competencies and her hang-ups, as well as her speech. I'm not fond of Sirius, but he was well done, plausible, just as Snape seems to be, here.

Faith, and Giles, and Willow, seem to fit into the Potterverse much better than Buffy herself ever would.

Did you ever write Snape + Faith vs Malfoy? I'd love to read it!

I didn't. I'm not much of a Snape fan, really.
