This was so incredibly good!! Very well written, poignant and bleak. Your Faith characterization was simply amazing and I loved the dark, horror-filled world you created where Willow is the baddie that needs killing and only Faith being able (and left) to do the deed. *shivers* Plus then the adding of Faith now being immortal and what that entails (eventually being all alone and the huge responsibility that she now has to all slayers, present and future...) just adds the icing to the dark and depressing cake. LoL.

Anyway, thanks for writing this rather amazing story!!

Faith has come so far and it is good to see her doing what needed to be done and sad to see that it needed doing.

Grim (in the best tradition of dark, bloody children's stories), but very well done!

Dark, eerie and a bit poignant. Willow's magical path definitely could have gone this way, in fact it makes more sense that she would turn this way than canon--from floating pencils to dark soul curses means to me her magic was tainted from day one.

I'm of the opinion that Buffy ceased being The Slayer as soon as Kendra was called, otherwise a new slayer would have been called after she died in the jump. So I like how you spun Faith's role here.

Well done building the horror and movement to the end where Faith realizes she is alone

An amazing story, well built- with a crescendo that definitely resonates for anyone who's ever felt any sympathy for Faith.

Willow's story could definitely have gone this way and kudos to you for recognizing it.
