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.

Willow is already a borderline Id person. Fine tuning it with Faith would indeed be of the bad.
I checked the Buffy Fic Archive and they list five Faith/Willow stories. It's a generalization, but I've found most of the stories in that archive tend to be fairly high quality. And I recommend the story "Six Faith and Willow Vignettes, In Order" by damaged justice. It's post-Chosen, post-Not Fade Away and I thought it read very much in character to both Faith and Willow.

That's because Shrift runs it. And, bluntly, the worst of the dumb writers can't figure out the auto archive interface.
I must remind my lazy self to upload the rest of my stuff at some point. (Of course, I haven't updated my personal archive in over a year, so...)
Duh, I should put Afterwards up on shriftweb, too. I've been neck deep in WIPs so long I forget to archive things.

Which takes me to a Faith/Illyria place. Not a bad place necessarily.

Given the heavy flirting the one time they met, I'm now wondering what Willow would make of Illyria (or, more to the point, what Illyria would make of Willow, and by "make" I do mean....)

I'm thinking they wouldn't fight crime.

Is it a crime to love a blue goddess of domination occupying the dead shell of a nerd? Because then I agree.
