So good, kudos to you. Your take on Faith is just so mature. I've never 'seen' that before. I can't wait to read your other stuff.

I absolutly love the story. at first I thought this story was long and didnt get to where I wanted to be but it kept me reading and loving it each chapter. It kept me wondering whats gonna happened next...which is what the writer looks for keeping the reader reading. I would live to read more. Maybe Calaborate one day...Great job in this story lol.

Still don't know Why my Email doesn't display...
So, tonight is different from the other night in which I read ch 10 (thanks!!) and have given myself some time to reflect. The girls are in the same place once again, but with these past few months, story-wise, gave Faith a real chance to deal with her own past and establish the present and maybe prepare for a future.
As an equal, not second-anything.
She is ready. One part which, when enjoined, will yield a greater Sum. She just needed time to understand that when those choices were laid out and made, 24#$^&^&*^#$ Shit!
Been staring at this for over twenty minutes. Why? Long story short - Faith is ready for her future with Buffy.
Something she could look forward to as one part of sharing a promise? Maybe I'm an idiot.

Loved the 'Firehouse for a Home' idea, the place reads great. Buffy teaching 'English'... Giles must have had a good-natured laugh for that. With Dawn very away at school, I found Buffy being alone though hurt a bit. Guess that hits a little too close to home for me. And I'm really jumping to see what you're going to present as Faith's job? Alot of people have used something about or around regarding a Youth center, hope you pulled a new trick.
And as for that Firehouse, or just that the girls are together again but in that setting, I've been running through a few artists on ~YouTube~ while typing this: Peter Gabriel, Howard Jones - Like to get to know you well, The Bangles - Eternal Flame, Kate Bush, Robert Palmer, Basia, Sting--did this one song for the movie "Kate & Leopold", The Go-go's, Doro (solo or as Warlock)... And yes, Divinyls.
Just who would sing to whom that come-hither tune `I Touch Myself` };->
Thanks.

Bloody wonderful update :) You're writing just gets gets better and better. I haven't read dialog and characterization as close to the Buffy show anywhere else, or from anybody else. You nail it everytime.

Well I think how ch. 9 ended fits, you could leave it like that just fine.
Buffy is going to Italy. And Faith is headed home to Boston.
So?
Just because they're leaving California for other shores doesn't mean they have to Stay there! And I don't mind using my imagination.... but, if you really want to tease us some more, I'll deal. Really. Please!
Thanks.

This totally made my new year! Angst included. And it was the best kind of angst cause you know they love each but its circumstances pulling them apart - always the best kind of angst, lol.

Totally loved the peanut-flicking and the Dawn/Faith goodbye.

Also I think you got the (not)-sex scene perfect. When you write the hotness you write it very well but I got the sense you didn't really want to include that in this chapter and what you did instead was awesome. So much feeling came through as you told their final scenes in their room. All the kissing and the almost spoken words - made my heart ache for them.

I can't wait for the next chapter.
