Faith's hands are busy too, fingers dipping deep inside Willow's jeans and making Willow cry out with fierce delight.

This is nothing like sex with Tara ever was. Angry. Hungry. Untender. Unfriendly, even. Passionate, though, and Willow has thought of this too many times now to regret that it's happening at last. She squirms with pleasure and need, relishing the chance to be utterly selfish. Faith's kisses are sharp and demanding, but Willow can play that game too. She really doesn't give a damn about whether Faith comes or not, and it's a blessed relief that for once she doesn't have to play at being nice. She doesn't have to worry about hurting the other person. Unbidden, the memory of Faith holding that knife at her throat back in the days when Willow felt pretty excited about being able to levitate a pencil comes swimming up out of nowhere, and Willow slams herself down harder on Faith's hand, gasping and half-intoxicated with sensation. Faith is a Slayer, but Willow has become something bigger even than that. She knows she's strong enough to kill Faith now.

The thought probably shouldn't make her hot.

She is going to have bruises in the morning, but nothing important will be broken.

...eh. I may have just committed songfic. Possibly.

See, Willow/Faith? That works for me. Doesn't make me happy, but works for me. Especially in light of Kennedy (blah). I still prefer, y'know, happy sweet sex/love for Willow, but have no trouble believing the hard stuff.

In other words, Fay, good stuff.

"I don't – I – that isn't – okay, having difficulty finding words for how very much not your business that is,"

erika: well, that sort of explains why I'm confused. I've clearly never watched H:LOTS or L&O. I've put the first homicide disc on my netflix queue, but there's a bunch of movies ahead of it, so I'll probably just stay confused for a while. I'll probably figure out what's going on eventually. =) Thanks for the clarification, though.

DAMN, Fay!

Also -- are you coming to the F2F?

Fay, I feel like Willow with the no-words-having. WOW!

Never? Ever? In your life, Nova? That just boggles me. NSM H:LOTS, but L&O has about four million episodes...there's one on right now, probably(and it might be) FG.(Probably not...its formula is holding it hostage at this point, I admit, but I still watch Uncle Lennie sometimes.) To me that feels like you just discovered this show about a crazy redhead and her bandleader husband or something...and I hope that didn't come out condescending or anything, cause that's not what I meant.

Fay, that is so cool. I'm completely chuffed, and proud.(She's a hero. You want to do the right thing by a hero. And she could kick my ass.) And everybody loves Kay, except for the pencil-dicks(TM DebG) at NBC, Tom Fontana, and sometimes Meldrick. Oh, and Megan Russert.
And your story was brilliant.

I... umm... I don't so much watch TV. At all. Ever. I have a TV in my room. It's tuned to the WB. I turn it on once a week. For an hour.

I'm a big fan of television, but not in its native format. I do the DVD thing (spent about $200, probably, on TV DVDs. So far.). Plus the *couch*downloading*cough* thing.

No commercials. Higher quality. Not forced to follow a specific time schedule.

If this is a reference to something, then I don't get it. I'm pretty clueless.

About a year and a half ago I spent about three months depressed and sick (mono). I did my homework, and I never went out. On the suggestion of one of my roommates I decided to try this silly show Buffy The Vampire Slayer since I was so ridiculously bored.

I've been different ever since. But my habits of not watching TV haven't really changed. And Law and Order sounds completely boring to me.

"I Love Lucy" Nova. My personal pick for a show that everybody has seen one of.(at least in the US) You are actually probably a better person than I if this is not the case. I think you'll find that you'll love Homicide anyway. Most of the people involved compare the early eps to plays or movies. And later that season, you'll get "Three Men and Adena" that still blows my mind, six months later.

Oh, yeah. I used to watch that on Nick at Nite, when I was some age younger than ten.

I watched TV then. But it was mostly Nickelodean and The Disney Channel.

I hated it.

I much preferred Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke and Get Smart.

Well, yeah, I'd agree with that. And my own television viewing is way down in favor of internet and DVD.(I didn't even find Homicide till reruns(which it's not syndicated for anymore and DVD) And I think I was primed for the crime thing from early anyway. My mom read Wambaugh while she was pregnant with me. And if I or my brother cut up during "Hill Street Blues" we knew we would Get It.

"Three Men and Adena" was totally a play. Not as much as "Isaac and Ishmael" on WW, but you could very much put it on stage and have it work. You know, even beyond the being really good. Maybe it's that I've gotten used to really good tv, but I have no problem with not needing to compare really good tv to another medium to denote quality, which is, IME, what is often meant when people make those comparisons, you know?

(btw, Erika, have you gotten your toaster for me yet?)

I'm not sure I've ever seen an entire episode of ILL, though I have seen bits and pieces.
