Howdy!

Loved this episode and always wondered that if they had this guy with this much power and brains runnin around, how could they just let him walk away. Obviously Jonathon has issues and ALOT of power and yet Buffy and company just lost track of him...well never bothered ta keep track really.
Way ta show appreciation for the guy that gave Buff the recognition she craved!

Nice ta see Faith is doin a better job on this, but then, she'd understand better how he feels!

Idea. I imagine she'll do better with Amy as well, makin sure its not just Wils who gets rehab. Think about it, how did Amy ( a rat for YEARS) suddenly knew where Raq was the night she gained humanity again? The only conclusion the group and I reached was that she was an addict already in high school. She was alone, unappreciated (Scoobs had the amateur an' injured WILLOW cast the resouling spell instead experienced Amy? Never used her for research? Are you NUTS!), had no close family, and helped kill her mother. No matter the reason, that is traumatizing to the extreme and who's she gonna talk to about it? Willow had alot of support and some guidence and STILL went off the rails. What chance Amy?
Yeah, Faith and Amy have ALOT in common. Mmmm, Faith gettin her OWN Scoobs?

Hope for more soonish!

The Cracker.

lol nice meet and greet and now it's getting crowded.

interesting plot with intriguing twists ...
hope to read more soon ^__^

Great chapter - having Jonathan there and being all insighful to all of them really seemed to help. Fantastic that Faith recognised another outsider in Jonathan and has done something to help him (and coincidently Willow too). I'm also glad Buffy seems to be starting to reconnect with Faith again. They had such a good friendship going it would be a shame to spoil that, especially as they both want more.

Two new students...


Enjoyed it.

I wonder if lycanthropy would qualify as a venereal disease? Its as hard to catch as one, even if its not normally caught during sex.

Venereal diseases normally require the direct transmission of bodily fluids to infect someone. They are hard to catch compared to most diseases.

Enjoyed it.

I like the way you're working through this, with Faith and Buffy able to back each other up and think of things the other might not (like Faith realizing that Jonathan needs teaching in magic, and getting Giles thinking about tutoring Willow and Tara, as well, before things can go too far wrong for Willow). Also, very nice touch with Sam being Faith's "go to" person in regards to all things Jack O'Neill, and Sam starting to really bond with Faith emotionally, even long distance.

Jonathan is one of those characters in the Buffy-verse that just makes me sad--lots of potential and then snuffed just as he began to realize it. He just needed one good friend. Too bad the scoobs didn't recruit, he'd have been great on their team.

It's been a while since I've read this story and was behind on several parts, but it was great to get caught back up. I really love what you're doing here, it's nice to see Faith finally getting a fair shake from the Scoobies and having a true chance at not only redemption, but happiness as well.

I also have to say that I love the way you've written Jonathon; you got across the fact that he really did use his spell mostly to fit it and be loved for a change, without taking undue advantage of people under the effects of the spell. He was another one of Joss' characters who got the dirty end of the stick when all was said and done. Yes, he made a bad decision when he threw in with Andrew and Warren, but he was the only truly decent one of that trio. I'm especially glad that you had Faith take him to Giles for training and hope that changed his fate as much as running into Jack changed her's.

Thanks muchly for the update, I look forward to reading more when your muse and real life allow!

That was interesting and I can't wait for more.

The way you incorporated Jonathon's spell with the Buffy/Faith/Riley issue was terrific. Still a bit sickening, in the Jon-o's a creepy little kid kinda way, but perfectly done. I'm really enjoying this story and look forward to more interaction with Faith and Jack. That familial tie is so believable! Thanks for sharing your tale with us.

That was great and I can't wait for more.
