Does the title have to reflect Faith? Libera Nos (gack, my Latin is an MS and no-use casualty: I was trying for "Deliver Us", in the prayer sense)
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

No, it doesn't have to reflect Faith -- that was just one idea. I am so tapped out.

Hmmmm.
Problem is, I like oblique portmanteau reference titles. So I'd be likely to go for something like "Nothing Under The Sun" (no sunlight for Faith, nothing new under the sun....)
Hence "Needfire" as a title. Portmanteau meaning-word.
But then, I'm a freak. And my typing sucks tonight. Sore hands.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Hrrm.
I like, Steph, but I'm having a hard time buying Buffy allowing Faith in without checking for signs of vamping first. YBMV.

No, I'm good with oblique titles -- my long-ass fic set between S5 and S6 is titled "Graveyard Shift," and there's nary a graveyard to be seen.
I'm just in brain-lock on this one.

I thought about that, and I chalked it up to being way more concerned about the FE. That IS a good point, and it's a weak point that I just waved my hand at because I wrote it because I love the last image.

I had my own issue with her not twigging on the "Can I Come In?" bit, but after all, Faith has no reason to assume she'd be welcome there. So for the sake of the dramatic flow, I think Buffy - who also tends to bend over way too far to accommodate anyone about whom she even thinks she's unjustly nourished a Bad Thought - would welcome her in.

Again, I knew that might be a glaring "Hello! Vampire!" point, and that's obvious by the end. But I was hoping that Faith would seem like someone who knew she wasn't welcome, and therefore ask if she could come in.

It might almost work better if she gives her explanation to Dawn, and Dawn lets her in.

Hmmmm...but then I lose the Scoobs running up, and Xander's wonderful bit waving the book.
