It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
(continued)
"You burned the Carolan to protect me?" Loss, pain, something else - what was this, eating at me? I tried to speak around it, forming the thoughts, the images, the words. Why was it so difficult tonight? "Papa, it's true he hates me, but he can't harm me. Even if he had the power, he hasn't the permission. I'm the Slayer, the Chosen One. Much as he hates me, he's my Watcher. He's bound to protect me."
"Was he bound tonight, petite? Protecting you? Telling the boy to watch you and your filthy sorcery? Do you feel protected?" His contempt was outside my experience. It hit me like stones, the stones thrown by a mob, stone the witch, burn the witch... "So you think the Watcher's boy will take your part. Are you really such a fool, that you would let sex or love weaken your sorcery? Because if you cannot protect yourself, then you are no good to anyone or anything. Do you think neither of them would go to their Council, when all that's needed to do you harm, to put an end to you, is a word?"
"Rupert wouldn't betray me. I don't believe that." It hurt, physical pain now, a deep grinding ache in me. What did I believe? I didn't know.
"Well. Then you will learn the hard way, will you not? I will tell you one thing more, petite, and then no more. There will come a time when you will choose. Are you slayer, or are you sorceress? And trust no one to defend you. Trust yourself. Goodbye to you, Amadee."
A shimmer, the circle breaking. I was alone in the darkness.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Deb, that is so wonderful! She is utterly compelling.

I like Daddy. Aint he a kick in the ass?
Total sexy French sorcerer. I had one on my Christmas list for a few years, but no one ever got me one....

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sometimes we just have to conjure our own.

Wow. Lovely, lovely fic being posted by you folks.
Oh, and Ple my darling? Are you going to give into your temptation to start vidding? Because if you are, I have a song by The Creatures that is begging for a Faith-centric video ...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I think I may. Give in, that is. Waiting on buy-off from the boy.

Heh heh heh ... So, do you own Anima Animus by The Creatures? Because "Prettiest Thing" needs to be a Faith vid. With either Fred or Connor, it would work either way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Deb, should petit be petite instead?

Even though it's masculine addressing feminine?
See, this is why Carlo Caldana, my Swiss friend, gets a big wet kiss in the thanks page of Famous Flower of Serving Men. He checked all my damned gender-sensitives....
Because I utterly suck when it's gender-required.
