Very nice, actually. I'm kinda digging it.

You were all wondering about five years after?

Buffy moved on from the Immortal because, let's face it, sex can only go so far. She hooked up with the Chairlady of W&H Milan for a while, but, let's face it, sex can only go so far.

Buffy eventually just got tired and retired to Martha's Vineyard. There was a pot-bellied red-headed dude there who was kind of interesting, but she said "Fuck it, I'm gonna swim."

If Faith had been her Slayer, Willow would have gotten her dyke on a few years earlier.

Someone needs to write that, actually.

Because, yeah, happy visual place.

Phew. I am so there with you.

Hey, you must be between feedings. You're up and your brain is working.

I'm up, feeling extreme guilt because the munchkin is VERY cranky, but I can't give her Mommy cuddles, on account of having Chemical Head (I have One and Only Color Fix on my head right now), and based on how unsoothable she is for Daddy at the moment, I think she wants Mommy cuddles. I doubt she's hungry, as she's been eating off and on since 7:30. I think she's just tired, a little gassy, and missing me.

Argh.

I'm sure it's been written.

Strangely, though the visual place is glorious, Willow/Faith is one of my least favorite common femmeslash pairings, usually. And I read a lot of femmeslash. I'm not sure why that is: I guess just because I don't see Willow as really fitting with bad girls.

If it has, I haven't seen it, which leads me to suspect that if it has been written, it hasn't been written *well*.

Honestly, I think they're similar in the wrong ways for them to work for me, at least within existing canon. Vamp!Willow/Faith, however (which would require an AU within an AU) could totally work. And a Willow who was influenced by Faith instead of Buffy I can see developing in ways that would allow for her to fall hot and heavy for Faith, because she'd totally sexualize the hero-worship thing if it were Faith.

But for the most part, Faith just fits too well with Buffy for me to pair her with Willow. (Faith also fits well with Lilah, Fred, and Mary Plei. Oh, and, err, with Fay, that one time when I was writing for Slashing the Slashers.)

Faith/Fred? Hmmm. I can sorta see it, I think. It's an interesting concept, certainly. But Fred/Willow is such a glorious concept to me that it completely overshadows it. Mmm. Geek femmeslash. Plus that whole canon flirty thing in that one crossover episode.

I read very little Buffyverse fic, actually, so I don't have much experience with any of these pairings. Maybe I should correct. Or maybe I should just stick with Rory/Paris and Ginny/Hermione/Luna (pick any two).

This conversation really sort of ended up in a weird place, huh?

Hee. If you feel like popping over to Fanfiction: Readers Writers Enablers, or whatever that thread's called, I suspect we could hook you up with the good J-verse girlslash crack.

I'll try digging my head out of my recent Grace/Kory obsession (Outsiders) long enough to find my most belovedest stories.

OK While my Id agrees with you all, my superego thinks teaching Willow "Want. Take. Have" could have consequences.
