Favorite quote:

"But she chose Spike. He was her champion, and he wore the sign of her favor into battle."

Hey shadowlass, babe, honey, dearest authoress-- can I make that into a Spuffy icon? Warning, silence always means yes on my livejournal. ;)

Yea, no shit. Never date Buffy, it doesn't end well for you. Clearly that's the moral. I don't agree with your assessment, but that's a duh. *G* I dunno if Faith coulda worn it...if she could have why didn't BUFFY just wear it? Did you hear the original script supposedly had Dawn stealing it and putting it on? Spike fought her and took it back. Now THAT woulda rocked.

In defense of canon, I assumed that Buffy and Faith were going to be busy with the scythe and passing on the Slayer mojo, and couldn't do that and the pendant mojo. Mixing mojo mid- mosh pit fight could be bad when you're inside the hellmouth itself.

I'd read that fic. You writing it?
