I want to have your children. Even though I don't have a uterus, and you do, I still want to. Curse you limitations of physiology!

Please write more things. ;.;

That was awesome...

I'd assumed they were vampires fairly early on, when I read the 'dark fic' warning. You threw me off the scent however, and quite expertly, when Faith proclaimed she was 'hungry' and got fried food. Conflicting vampire mythos had me believing vampires couldn't eat normal food without being forced to retch it back up... so I threw away my suspicions about the wallet et al right then.

This story is expertly told. Details are touched upon just enough to make you wonder, and withheld until the moment everything falls into place. It's almost enough to require a re-read, and I may have to in a day or so when I have the time. I do not recall finding a single error in your prose, grammatical or otherwise.

As far as criticism goes, I can only think of the very same flaws the show itself suffers from... such as a critical lack of firearms and modern weaponry (which would be my preferred way of stopping a Slayer). Combat does not seem to be your strong suite, but you have dodged it rather artfully. 'Tis better not to write it, methinks, than to write a scene the likes of me and mine will literally rip to shreds upon reviewing.

The thing I most enjoyed about your writing was the banter between Faith and Xander. I laughed out loud many times at the off-color humor starting very early in Chapter One. The worst bit for me was working out the 'behind the scenes' details I felt I was missing until it all came together. Since I had already dismissed my vampire idea, you were hurting my brain a little and forcing me to talk to myself to figure out what was going on.

I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you very much for your hard work. I'll definitely be checking out your profile for something else to read tonight.

Cheers!

Wow. Just- wow. This is the best BtVS story I've read in a long time. I love how subtly the revelation that Xander and Faith are vampires comes, and how *themselves* they remain, even without their souls. I love how you gave a *good* explaination for why they had so much more control than your average new vampire. I love how you made me identify with them so strongly that I almost wanted Buffy to lose in that final fight, so they could remain absolutely *awesome* vampires. I really wanted to see them face off Spike & Angel, and to confound all their former friends with their evilness.

However, you ended this story perfectly. This was an excellent example of what a short story should be- tight and purposeful from the first word to the last. I'd love to see more, to see how they react to being resouled, but I understand why you chose to end where you did.

That being said, if you choose to write a sequel, I might just have to jump up and down and squeal.

Thank you, and keep up the good work!

This gem of a story needs a sequel.

An absolutely awesome ending! Wow! I really enjoyed the entire story, but the ending was just perfect. Now I'm only torn between whether I actually want to read a sequel to this story or not. Seeing how masterful you wrote the characters, it would be a thrill to see a character-piece about Xander and Faith resouled, but the story also works by itself.
Whether or not you write a follow-up, I'm looking forward to more stories from you with Faith and Xander in them.
Keep up the excellent work! :)

This story has been absolutely amazing. Great idea added with a great plot and stirred with a whole lot loving details. One of the best and unique btvs stories out there. Hope to see a follow up!

I admit. I've been out of Buffy fandom for a while now. But this reminded me what I loved so much about it.

I think I reviewed this story when you posted it on your LJ but since I've got you on Author Alert, I thought I'd do it again ;-) I love your writings and this one is no exception, my dear lady.

Engaging, funny, heartbreaking, sinister...

Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Liz. Here's to hoping to see more of your stuff finished and published to your adoring fans.

Hm...

While it seems that Xander's been turned, and in turn did the same to Faith somehow, I can't help but wonder if there is a twist coming up somewhere.

And, of course, what this jewel is going to do for them.

In any case, this is an extremely engaging fic. And I can't wait to see where you lead us. T
