Oh, I like that a lot. The color theme, Faith's stark hues, and the layered details work very well.

[oxoniensis]

Thanks for such lovely feedback! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.

Here by way of su_herald. Very lovely.

[oxoniensis]

Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

(Though I had no idea su_herald linked to drabbles! That's kinda embarrassing. *g*)

This is wonderful - a nice look at how Faith and Buffy's relationship is never simple and always passionate. If you're interested, I'd love to see this posted at faith_slash!

[oxoniensis]

They have a fascinating relationship, especially after the time they switched bodies - I'm glad you enjoyed this.

And thanks for the link to your community - I'll have to take a look, because I've not read any Faith slash, and I'd rather like to.

Guh! I absolutely love everything you write! :)

[oxoniensis]

Wow, that's so sweet of you! Thank you!

Faith's hair is midnight-black, her skin pale, lips crimson.

Oh, I love that description. I love the entire ficlet, but I really love that description of Faith, and the way she never easily fit into one category or another. Really well done.

[oxoniensis]

Thanks Annie. *beams*

Faith always fascinates me - she's so mixed up, she's done so much good and bad. I'd really like to write more Faith fic, but I'd have to rewatch all her episodes as I'm sure I've forgotten so much about her. Basically, I need to find BtVS and AtS DVD's on sale!

I want Faith-fic. I want Faith-and-The-Mayor fic, actually. I loved the Mayor, and his psuedo-father role in Faith's life.

It's one of the few occasions where characters turn bad and you find yourself wanting to bitchslap the good guys because *look* at what the baddie offered her -- and look at how you behaved -- no wonder she turned evil.

I was going to comment about Faith and The Mayor yesterday, either to you or someone else, I forget who now. But yes, it's so understandable, the way she turned to him, and how much it hurt her. Actually, Lindsey was in a similar situation - so close to going over to the good side at one point, if only Angel had given him a little encouragement.

You could/should write Faith and the Mayor fic...

Hmm, I really need a Faith icon!
