This is a terrific love story. Everyone acting like real people, with real screw ups and hangups and trust. Adults are acting mature, kids are acting like children. The story makes sense. It's a delight.

I'm glad you enjoyed this story because I think it's the best romance I've written to date.

Still a long way to go before I achieve perfection however,

thanks for your thoughtful review

Great story Dean and Faith make a great couple I could see some sparks between Jo and Sam but maybe that's just me

Thank you very much for your review. I think Jo and Sam had more chemistry than Dean and Jo but sadly everyone (Spn fans) were so mean about Jo she was written out of the series.

Damn girl! I love your Faith stories!!

...and this from someone who couldnt' STAND her in the series! LOL

As usual, great story, didn't want it to end, yadda, yadda, yadda...

AND I'm even recc'ing it! :-) Aren't I sweet?

I promise, I swear... one day, I WILL get that artwork I've been promising you completed, ok? *hugs*

First thanks for your review and rec, I'm glad you liked it.

How can anyone not stand Faith?

Art work - I would love that Faith/Dean picture the Killers song sounds perfect and I know of a specialist Faith/Dean Website you could post it to.

Want to do a Boondock Saints pic? E-mail me for details.

I like this place for the ending, and I do think the sex was necessary. Faith and Dean are both very sexual people, and the fact that the sex details their growth as people makes it an integral part of the story.

Bravo.

Thank you very much for my required feedback it really helps me as a writer to work out what people want.

I definetly liked the fact it was 21, not 18. I think you should make a Sammy/Dawn story:)

You know Sam Dawn is a good idea and I think I'm going to. Thank you very much for your feedback and all your kind reviews.

someone defintely didn't want these 2 talking... wonder who...

I defintiely liked it! I could see Dean and Faith resolving that the way they did. As for questions...I'm glad you continued on after chapter nine as I totally loved this story. I think that it would have been fine as FR18, but better as FR21 because I think that the sex was important in showing what Dean and Faith's relationship was like. Um, I think that was it for the questions, right? Anyway, I loved this story and can't wait to read your next one!!!!

Thank you for giving me the feedback I needed, you have no idea how helpful it is to me as a writer. And thank you for all your encouraging reviews throughout this story, they helped me continue like you wouldn't believe.

This ending makes sense for me. They're both totally screwed up in many ways, but then again, who isn't....I could see Dean missing the open road & demon hunting, also even more importantly his car. Not having his Impala is going to be a problem in the long run. Demon hunting is important, he'll point out reasonably, and hey, what are the odds the FBI would catch Faith if they went back to the states?..... more likely Sam will go evil due to the demon blood thing & D. will have to go save him.....
That sweater thing was evil I tell you. Evil. Very funny, too----
And now they've gotten past their emotional blocks and are totally honest with each other. Cool! (come to think of it, I can see Angel getting into trouble & Faith going running to help, same as Dean with Sam)--and F. & Angel have a close connection ie fellow reformed sinners, shared walk down memory lane via "orpheus" etc etc..

I'm glad you liked the sweater. I don't think Sam will go evil.

Thank you very much for all your kind thoughtful reviews in this story.

Processed ham for Christmas dinner. I'd kill him. I'm glad you kept going as I much prefer happy endings. The sex was necessary given that the characters were Dean and Faith, both of whom are extremely sexual beings! It wasn't in your face like some F21 stories, it just seemed natural. Thanks for the read.

I like happy endings too. Thank you for the feedback I needed and all your other help as well.

Sliced ham in a sealed plastic bag from a petrol station - I could just see some guys doing that.

Oh shit!!! Not a good way for Faith to find out about Dean's deal! I can't wait to see the fallout from that little revelation!!!!

You might be disappointed I'm worried. Thank you for reviewing.

Those vampire resurrections almost never work. They should have asked Angel for that scroll thingy.....he's probably still got it lying around somewhere....
1 year, 10 years. Surely Faith will realize it's just a number. but forgetting the turkey. Dean is toast.
"Slayer of the year"? They're turning into a bureaucratic society. Good work! (better than 'one girl in all the world', that's for sure)--

'Just a number' god you make me laugh.

bureaucratic society - Yeah I see the watcher's council becoming that again quickly, only with twenty-first political correctness put into place. No more cruciantiums but a hell of a lot more paperwork for everyone.

"Dean felt twice as incensed as before, because as the guy he should have got to throw the damn bottle."

Poor Dean, dating a slayer is so emasculating.

I, too, am looking forward to seeing who's messing with the slayers.

Actually I think most men would find a lot about living with a slayer emasculating.

And I think most women would find Dean's personal habits revolting and irritating.

You can only spend so much of your time in bed with someone.

Slayer stalker will be revealed next chapter

What the hell? Who on earth is stupid enough to fuck with both of the original Slayers? And at the same time!?! I can't wait to see who's behind all this shit! More soon, please?

Thank you very much for your review, all shall be revealed next chapter.

Hm...I was starting to suspect Jo as the letter writer, but I guess that's out.. Add in the "Buffy got one, too" and it gets a lot more interesting. Not so long ago that would have set them at each other pretty violently...so it's someone who knows a bit about them, but not in depth (ie probably expected violence)
So it's Kakistos? Gee, stake one vampire master, and the minions take it personally.. (hey, do 'they' think Jo might be a slayer?) There are so many these days
Faith as a neat freak? Makes sense, considering her childhood. You know... if she & Dean would talk to each other about stuff, it might help. Just a thought. Heh....

No, why would Jo write an anonymous letter? She's nice.

Kakistos is dead or dust.

Faith a neat freak - not exactly, but Dean leaves his socks in a kitchen sink! Vile. I totally believe he would be domestically useless as stated in this chapter. We saw Faith being messy in apartment Mayor got for her, but never grotty. And I think she must have a streak of house pride in her or why else the Christmas lights in the motel?

See I don't see why formerly being evil or promiscuous, or an ex con would make you not need to worry about washing your clothes, preparing meals and cleaning the bathroom when you work. (Buffy needed to worry about domestic life constantly)

And would Faith want to pick up after Dean like she's his mummy? No. Would she be a nag? No. So I see her seething with resentment about his lack of domestic skills but not actually saying anything until she explodes from time to time about it.

And Dean would think she over reacts.

Thank you for reviewing.

Like you are not on America's Most wanted List! Don't be a dork!

Dean would be on America's most wanted list. This might prove problematical in their future.

Is he a dork? All is revealed in the next chaper.

Thank you for reviewing. Much appreciated.
