I'm really late to the party, but I read this and was simply blown away.

You pull off Faith's voice brilliantly, even though I generally have a hard time with first person in fanfic. It doesn't precisely sound like canon-Faith to me, but that can be written off as different interpretations of the character.

I loved the Angel-Faith interaction, because you just nailed how complicated it was, just by showing it in a very raw form. It's a really great example of the "show-not-tell" principle. I loved the Angel-Faith relationship on the show, and the way your capture it here was just so vivid and real and honest that it made me extremely happy. There's such a give and take between them, that by the time you get to the end, there's a feeling that the comfortable banter between them is something that they've had to build together.

That last Faith part really hit me hard, and it wasn't just because that the part was so well-written (which it was), but also because there's a build up to that moment, Faith's moment of grace, and we feel it, because we've gone on the journey with her. Which is, of course, great writing.

So yeah, I loved it. Thank you.
