Your word choices are exquisite. Just the right amount of sad, the kind of sad one identifies with Faye--that of longing, trying for something just beyond her grasp. Bravo.

I'm not too big on Spike/Faye; I mean, she is somewhat infatuated with him, but you captured her so completely and wonderfully in this, I'm just...speechless. Beautifully written as always. I loved it.

Awesome. Hard as I looked for some sort of critism I might provide, I found none worth mentioning. Perhaps I'm losing my touch.
"She gave him a look from under her eyelashes, and it wasn't friendly."
My favorite line ('A look from under her eyelashes' sounds so seductive and, well, yeah, but you completely tipped me off of my chair with 'and it wasn't friendly'...how much more Faye can you get?). It's the subtleties, which may or may not have been conscious efforts, that really made this story stand out from the rest.
Hopefully you're writing more than fanfiction :p.
