Dead British Men For All

“Can I have one too?”
Casey’s fifteen and technically shouldn’t be drinking beer, but Faith slides a bottle along the table towards her, opens her own, and takes several long, silent sips.

Just as Vi’s about to ask, she looks up and says, “My Watcher’s dead.”

“What? Giles-” Vi starts to stand.

“Nah. Giles is B’s Watcher. Mine was…” Faith’s eyes are far away. “Mine was stuffy, pretentious, bossy… controlling… wicked good with a shotgun… badass… sexy as hell…” She trails off.

“And he died?”

“Yeah.” Another long drink. “Went out fighting, at least. That’s something.”

Vi nods, remembering too.

Excellent, well done. Just the way I'd picture Faith reacting.

Yes, that's how Faith would react. That or blind rage.

Love that evolution of description. Perfectly Faith.

And yay, Vi! Always love to see her make an appearance. :)

You encourage my very closeted Wes/Faith shipper. :)

Oh, very nicely done.

Oh, Faith. Oh, Wesley. *sigh*

There were moments in AtS when you could see what might have been; it makes this all the more convincing.

awww :( I hated season 5 for destroying two of my fave characters.

I still refuse to say he's dead myself. Or that he won't come back somehow. I just didn't like the comics bringing him back as the Senior Parnter's slave or whatever.

anyway, nice work.

Faith had bad luck with Watchers, which no doubt contributed to the hard time she had. Just imagine how it might've gone if she'd got a fully seasoned Wesley right from the start. Rowr! *fans self*

However, their story is one of bad timing, among other bad things. This drabble makes it clear that she's feeling them all. *sniff*

Excellent Faith voice, and Of course Wes' death would give her pause. Her eulogy is pitch perfect.
