stoney321I'm supposed to be doing laundry. And vacuuming. This was supposed to be the grocery list. Then ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
karabair posted some of her postcard fics, and this just sprang up among the ideas for my postcard...
Rating: PG
Spoilers: For Faith? Up to the last fifteen minutes of the last Angel ep/NFA S5.
Protagonist: Faith
Subject: A letter to Wes from Faith. She doesn't know.
Yeah, so Robin said this would be all good for me and - whatever. Oh - Robin Wood. He's, uh, mine. Remember that slayer that Spike killed in NY? It's her kid. You'd like him. He's all noble and shit, but can throw down in a fight, too. Forget what you may have heard about him and B dating. Fucking rumors, man.
After we stopped the First we though it'd be chill for a while. Thought the slayerettes could handle the next Big Bad. Then we heard you and Angel fucking turned from the mish. I know why I got all dark and evil, but come on. You cut your girl's head off and go Vader? The hell?
Heard yesterday from Giles. Says Angel and the gang went Sydney. You catch that show? Alias? Pretty good. You'd like the skinny dude. Kinda looks like you. Turns out you fought your own Big Bad, huh? Fucking dragons and shit? Shoulda called. Could have been in LA in an hour.
So now that I don't have to hunt you down and kick your ass for being all turncoat, I just wanna say that I hope we're cool. I was a pretty messed up kid. I kinda got put in charge of the new girls out here. Kids mostly. But they're alright. Some of them had it bad like me. It ain't all singing and braiding hair, but it's cool. It's weird to have kids look up to me. I think they get me and B mixed up sometimes.
You're no Angel, but... you're cool. Sorry for torturing you and ... you know. Sorry. I don't care what you hear, Robin is NOT like Gunn. Gunn was cool and all, but what was with the Texas Twig? Oh, snap! Sorry, Wes. Tell Angel's brat "hey" for me. And that if he ever makes a move on his dad again? I'll kick his ass worse than last time.
Drop me a line and tell me how much demon-ass you kicked in that fight.
Stay cool.
Faith

You doing okay? Oh!! ANd I meant to vote on your poll. Thank god you do NOT look like Will Wheaton. He was a cute kid, but grew up to look like a potential pedophile. You exceed his looks. And that was NOT to try and get you to read my fic. ha ha!

And now I wanna know: does she find out? how she finds out? how does she take it?

Date: 2004-11-17 06:48 pm (UTC)I am terribly avoidy. Right now I am not doing my homework because my cat keeps sitting on my book. Also because it scares me. I am an idiot and so gonna flunk. I should just look for a job and drop out of school.
<-- failing tests is also like crap in a bag.
Date: 2004-11-17 06:54 pm (UTC)You are not going to fail out of school. If you don't do stellar on ONE test? Sheeee-it. It happens. I survived after feeling the same thing and having the entire semester of Cs and Ds. Can you retake a course if it is truly that bad? Or are you punishing yourself to make yourself work harder??
Your sleep CD should be going out by Friday. Does that help any? *slides crib notes across desk to you*
Re: <-- failing tests is also like crap in a bag.
Date: 2004-11-18 02:29 pm (UTC)Ignore the whining behind the curtain. I am not meaning to bum you out (further). I may flunk a couple of my courses. I've still got a month, maybe I can pull off barely passing.
Faith-based initiatives
Date: 2004-11-17 08:26 pm (UTC)I already squeed about this whole fic in email, but let me reiterate my favorite line:
Some of them had it bad like me. It ain't all singing and braiding hair, but it's cool. It's weird to have kids look up to me. I think they get me and B mixed up sometimes.
Re: Faith-based initiatives
Date: 2004-11-17 08:46 pm (UTC)When the children are home for the holidays and I retreat into my cave with bottled water and methamphetamines, er, cheese doodles, I may need to emerge, stand in the sun, cry for freedom, and show the crumpled page in my hand to be? Faith bitch slapping Sam for fucking over Buffy with Riley. I know it didn't happen that way, but this is Faith we're talking about.
It is highly possible that I have eaten too many Apple Jacks and watched far too many episodes of South Park tonight.
I always thought Faith was pissed with herself when Buffy jumps her shit about have the SITs out at a bar. Which is why the defense mechanism kicks in, and hence the WORST MOMENT IN BUFFY (aside from Joyce dying) THE INGRATES KICKING HER OUT. I would have punched Dawn in the face when she said, "it's my house, too." Because you are made out of me! ME!! Um, weren't we talking about Faith? I love her. She has pretty hair.
I heart my Faith-hair
Date: 2004-11-17 09:09 pm (UTC)Course I never go anywhere. Though tonight I had dinner with a very successful writer who looks a wee bit like ScruffyWes. And with an actually Scruffy Wes (Roomie's fiance, who hasn't bothered to shave lately). Oh, there were other people there too. It was a class and shit. Anyway, my hair looked like crap. Needs a cut.
What was I saying? Oh -- Faith. That kicking-Buffy-from the house episode was like the 5th or 6th episode I ever saw, and I knew even then it didn't make the least bit of fucking sense. (unless everybody in the house was being controlled by Jasmine? Was that an option?) Buuuut. . .in retrospect I now see it as a creakily transparent (if I may mix a metaphor) plot device, which existed entirely to set up the scene in "Touched" where Spike finds Buffy in the empty house. And as that scene is THE BESTEST THING EVER and makes me want to eat BOTH of them with a spoon. . .all is forgiven. seriously.
my computer is being a bitch, so I'm actually going to log off and go read a book now. don't laugh, I do it sometimes.
Re: I heart my Faith-hair
Date: 2004-11-17 09:13 pm (UTC)1. when you lie on the examination table, he insists on "spooning."
2. during a pap smear, your OB "finds" an engagement ring. Bwah ha ha!
Oh, and I love Faith. i love that scene with Buffy/Spike, too. But I love Principal Wood hinting that the sex was so-so with Faith more.

Date: 2004-11-18 09:10 am (UTC)On that note I figure something out. The English characters can't be happy. It's like some evil JW thing...Giles, Spike, and Wes all get put through the wringer when it comes to love and generally life, usually more so then the other characters...I wonder if an English person pissed off Joss once...
Completely unrelated...

I take it you enjoyed this? 10Q.

Date: 2004-11-18 04:09 pm (UTC)Just wonderful; not sure whether to weep or smile. On the one hand it's nice to see that Faith is finally able to face her and Wes' past. And she does seem to care about Wes, and in some ways it's oddly nice that she just assumes that Wes would have survived this.
But of course, there's this horrible sense that she was just too late. She is assuming they all triumphed and came out smiling - she has no idea of the pain and heartache that came after she left LA.
Bravo!
