Buffy acts scandalized and more than a little bit betrayed, but Faith knows that it's more a show than anything: Buffy acting the way she's expected to, the way a daughter might when she finds out her father's fooling around with one of her best friends (it's not like she can say anything about the age difference; at least Giles doesn't remember the Industrial Revolution).

Behind her shrill protestations, though, there's something lurking, a light of understanding that tells Faith that Buffy knows that, as dark as their darkest moments were (despair and Spike, vengeance and Tara, insecurity and Anya), none of the rest of them will ever really understand the rebellion and want-take-have that was Ripper, not the way Faith does.

Because it's sneaking a cigarette every once in a while, tattoos that are remnants of younger days, memories of wild friends and loud music and long nights (even if it's also finding the light again and knowing the price of goodness is worth paying and the battle worth fighting).

YOU WROTE ME FAITH/GILES!!! *flail*

Yep, absolutely them. That want-take-have, yes. And the tattooes from younger days, and finding the light - you nailed so many of the things I see in the potential of this pairing! And Buffy putting on the show because really, social convention doesn't really offer an alternative in this instance to, "How dare you?"

Thank you!

I DID!

I'd sort of wanted to for a while because I knew it would make you happy, but I didn't really know how to go about it. This provided a real opportunity, though.

And I'm so glad it worked for you--I wasn't sure I was getting what you found appealing about them right, so this is a huge relief to me.

You're welcome!

You get so much done with so few words! Buffys reaction and Faith's attraction and the unspoken understanding between the two slayers worked for me. Nicely done.

Thank you! I realize it ended up being more about Buffy and Faith, but I've always been really interested in their relationship post-series, so it seemed an ideal time to embrace that.
