Nice work and good choice of title. Ouch, what a blow for the team. I'm glad they've got counselors on staff, though it looks like Faith is doing fine in seeking her own comfort :)

Thanks, I'm glad you liked. The title never even occured to me until I went to post it on the site, and then I'm like, Doh! What do I put here??
I thought that the NWC (New Watcher's Council - or whatever you want to call them) would most likely have councellors on site for all the new slayers. They'd have so much to deal with, being newly called, dealing with their powers and their "secret identities" as well as grief councelling when another slayer bites the dust. (And no, that's not a bad pun about a slayer getting a face full of vamp dust when out on patrol *lol*)
Thanks for reviewing =-)

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It wasn't even CLOSE to what I intended to write when I sat down with it, but by the time it was done I was very happy with what had come out.
Thanks for reviewing.

A well written little scene... did really well with your almost 500-or-so (?!) words.
Comments from author:
Thanks, though the story was actually 1100 words instead of the 500 I was aiming for. But, what can I say... when the muse doesn't want to stop writing, I figure I should let her go as much as she wants. :-)
Thanks for reviewing!

I loved the "talk" Jack and Faith had. And I loved Daniel's grin at the end ;) Oh, Oh! Do a follow-up showing us the razzing that Jack gets when he sits back down at the table.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
I doubt I'll be doing that kind of follow up. If I do anything it'll probably be a "several months down the road and they meet up again" kind of thing.
Outstanding effort. I can totally see Faith doing that. It was clear to me that she was talking about Angel and Spike from your story. I think you did a good job of conveying that.
Comments from author:
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
I thought it was pretty clear who she was talking about as well, but since I didn't actually NAME them in the story I thought I should cover my bases and specify exactly who it was that died in the Author's notes just in case someone didn't get it.
You should write more fic. You're good at it. How come a fluffy fic suddenly turn to sort-of-dark fic. Your muse in a rebellious mood? I quite enjoyed it though :)

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I'll be writing more in the future, but I'm just starting out so I've been waiting for something to really strike me before taking anything on.
I don't know when this changed from light and fluffy to semi-angsty. (Is angsty even a word?) I think it was sometime around the point when Jack first encountered Faith at the bar. When I wrote her talking back to him, I just knew it wasn't going to be a light and fluffy fic any more. No matter what I tried to change to get it back there, it just wasn't working. So I went with where the muse was taking me. I guess she was in kind of a dark mood last night.
